Spectacle, played after Fireworks, allows you to pull some neat tricks. For instance... Workshopping more Spectacles! Or if you've drawn deck, then you can "gain and play" the card(s) you bought this turn.
Spectacle might be too strong, idk. I briefly considered giving it a (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/7/7a/Potion.png/10px-Potion.png) cost. Anyway, lemme know if it's too powerful or something.
Yeah, the big (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/5/5d/Coin0.png/16px-Coin0.png) is mostly a lil' thing I like to do.

I enjoy seeing that big fat (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/5/5d/Coin0.png/16px-Coin0.png) on Treasure cards. A quick reminder that you're not getting straight (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/6/6d/Coin.png/16px-Coin.png) from it. It's mostly a personal thing, I'll admit.

Port Clerk is a terminal super Merchant. The money from a Port Clerk can scale pretty quickly with additional Treasures in the Kingdom and with things like Counterfeit, so I think the $5 cost is warranted. Not sure if the sentence structure for Port Clerk is correct. Feedback is appreciated.

I think it would read more cleanly if "this turn" came first, like so:QuoteThis turn, when you play a Treasure you didn't have a copy of in play, +(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/f/f7/Coin1.png/16px-Coin1.png).

Here's my entry for this week. Road is a cheap cantrip that along with your other Roads allows you to gain a single card per turn with a variable cost based on how many Roads you got into play that turn (I think the "Once per turn" language correctly achieves this effect, but let me know if it doesn't). With just one in play, you can usually only gain a Copper, but if you collide it with your Shortcut, you can gain another Road. Later, you can chain together more to gain an engine piece or even a Province if you have a long enough Road. The Shortcut essentially stands in as another Road, along with some of the usual cost reduction shenanigans.

You only discard "this" once per turn anyway, so I don't think this wording quite works. I'd suggest this wording:Quote+1 Card

Also, important question: Is it intentional that playing 3 roads gains you a (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/3/3d/Coin2.png/16px-Coin2.png) (because it triggers after the discard)?

This card can be called in your Action, Buy, or Night phases. And this card can be called when it's not your turn. Thanks to Menagerie, there's a ton of cards that can be played out of your turn, like Black Cat. Good thing that both the actions you can take when you call it are easily trackable even if it's not your turn.
The card has to cost at least $4 because it is almost strictly better than workshop (except for a turn where that is the last action card you have to play and you have no treasures).
As always, open to feedback.

Woodsman should either say "you may first call this..." or "whenafter you play a card..." to make it clearer whether it triggers before or after resolving the played card. The latter allows you to call it immediately, so if that isn't intended (I assume it's not based on your commentary), then you would also have to say "after you play a card other than this..." I assume it's intended to be before resolving, though.

I like the idea, but I'm not sure how needing to have a Potion in your deck makes this any less shuffle dependent. You would get pretty much the same gameplay (barring interaction with other Potion costs) from this if it was a Treasure that reads "Once per turn: Gain a card costing up to $1 per differently named Treasure you have in play." At that point, it is a pretty straightforward Horn of Plenty variant.QuoteExtract - Event, P cost.

(https://i.imgur.com/9VA6yHe.png)(https://i.imgur.com/KGfrsus.png)I think this buying in between is an tracking nightmare without providing enough fun for it. I think you should drop the +$ and just make it +1 buy. (I do love the rest of the card very much)
The extra buy that Souk gives allows for gain and play, but isn't a bona fide +Buy, which in some cases you may prefer to have during your Buy phase once you have been able to play all your Treasures. Moreover, you're less likely to be able to make good use of this extra Buy if you have a high density of Action cards that don’t give +$ in your deck or low money density.
Huh? There is no tracking problem at all. Play Treasures, buy something, draw to 4.buy something for 3, one left, then buy something for 4 with one discount, with 5 new coins. As you can chain them this can go up to 4 to 5 times. You are constantly checking the change halfway your turn.
All you gotta do is what you always gotta do anything: count your Coins.

But if it makes it more fun to be being in your turn... I really don't see the fun in that. I see myself just not buying three times because I want that colony. And then maybe if I will notice I have some change, I might wanne use it.
That iwhy is said; “what for?” You normal flow is playing all your klcards for an engine, and see it tick. Then decide what you are gonna buy to improve that. So this card decide to break that flow. But how does it make more fun to break that. If you say:True that. In Dominion you gotta constantly remember how many Actions, Buys and Coins you have.

I've never heard anyone complain about tracking issues with Black Market, so I don't see why Souk would be any different.
As to why not just give the card a +Buy to use during your Buy phase like a normal card, rather than during your Action phase...by design, I wanted the choice of whether or not to try to take advantage of the extra Buy to create a dilemma for players in some cases. There are some esoteric reasons why you would want to take advantage of buying cards in your Action phase (e.g. I believe this would let you buy cards without being affected by Hexes like Envious/Deluded) but the main reasons are either (i) if this is the only source of extra gains in the Kingdom, or (ii) if you want to be able to gain and play a card during your Action phase.

The argument is that you have to do more tracking, while it does not provide satisfying gameplay. Unnecessary complexity where +buy will do just fine.You always gotta count your Coins. With Throne Rooms or cards that conditionally provide Coins or cost reduction it becomes more complicated that simply counting all the Coin symbols on all cards.So you add something you have to track that you dont used to have to track… but what for?True that.

It is in this respect similar to to Artificer vs. Market. The latter is simple whereas the former is more of a high-skill card.
That is what i said with “too niche”: there are to few cards that make this out of secuence buy fase worth while. That is what this card effectively does: make an extra buy fase with 1 card and return to your action fase. (And then maybe draw some cards). There is little strenght in that effect, other then the +buy in most kingdoms.I totally disagree.

yeah in a lot of ways, the highlight of Souk is giving access to "when buy" effects like Spices' coffers mid-turn, so you can use them during the buy phase proper. There's not a ton of these interactions, since there's not a ton of when-buy triggers that'd care about this, but there is novelty with that and it interacts well with its heirloom.

I think that it is too good. Non-terminal, trashing from play, token bonuses look far stronger than the Cursing/topdecking of Replace.
Especially trashing from play. You can Mine your Coppers into Silvers with the Heirloom in play and you can Remodel PLAYED Golds into Provinces.
