R.O.U.S.es"super-rat"
Capybaras?
I argued for the set to be called Bestiary, but apparently that was too close to Bestiality for some peoples' tastes
I personally think they made the right call on that one.
I realize that some of the feedback is somewhat ill-formulated, but I think that Tramway is still a valid choice for a winner.I didn't mean to imply your choice was invalid. When you're the judge, it's up to you. My 2 cents is nothing more than my 2 cents.
Night Stocker
$5 - Night - Duration
Pay up to. Return a card from the trash to the supply for each coin you spent this way.
At the start of your next turn: +
While this is in play, +2when you gain the last card in a supply pile.
I don't know about anyone else, but I think Forest Path being able to make Provinces cost $6 is pretty good and definitely worth $5...Oh I missed that. I'm used to the -$2 cost token being only usable on action card piles.
Pioneer by FragasnapThere's no way this is strong enough for $6. A peddler+ is usually $5 cost (see Artificer, Treasury, Baker...), so $5 would probably be good here.
This could work as a $6 cost, as it is basically a Peddler+ when drawn with another Action card. Being able to move your +1 Card token mid turn is a scary feat, but it really needs to connect probably in order to be that impactful. And using your +1 Card token on a card that appears once isn't super impressive (but not bad either)
Archaeologist by LibraryAdventurerYou're probably right that it's too strong, but I don't think it's quite as broken as a Superlab. I'll make it slightly weaker.
Very very very broken. After four purchases, ruins are going to be absolutely amazing. I mean, Abandoned Mine becomes a free Grand Market for crying out loud. Getting there shouldn't be difficult in 2P: the card itself is a cantrip and, afer two purchases, Ruins aren't going to be a hindrance either and Archaeologist becomes a superior Lost City. Not sure how to balance it; getting rid of the ability to gain ruins to the hand and to play $3 costs would be a start I suppose. Right now, it's probably superior to The Forbidden Card: Superlab.
Forest Path by Something_SmartI think you misread the card. You either get +$2 or place the -$2 cost token, never both. Which IMO makes it too weak for $5, but I think it'd be fine at $4.
On face value, this looks pretty horrible, as it's a Woodcutter that cost $5 that can do something else. But woodcutters are helpful at depleting the pile with the -2$ token on it. And on turns you move the -2$ token, it could be essentially equivalent to +$4, +1 Buy, which is nice. Playtesting needs to determine if this card is good enough (it's almost certainly not broken), but I think it will be on the weak side (though certainly not Harvest-tier weak).
No, the tokens affect all the cards in the pile. See the rule here: http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Adventures_tokensQuoteArchaeologistThe first two of these you buy are weak, but once you buy four of them, you'll have all four tokens on your ruins pile which should make them pretty strong.
$5 Action - Looter
+1 Card, +1 Action.
Gain a ruins, putting it in your hand.
You may play an action costing $3 or less.
-
When you gain this, you may put your +1 Action, +1 Card, +$1, or +1 Buy token on the ruins pile.
Posting the entry now. I might do a mock-up later so it looks nice.
I quite like this. I suspect it might get strong from the get go unless it gets affected by the variable top card of ruins? I mean does it only apply if the ruins card played is the same as the top card?

Under 50: what are you even doing
Ruined CommanderI still like the old wording better:
Action, Ruins, Command - $0
Play an Action card from the Supply as though it were this.
The official Wild Hunt (and Farmer's Market) are interactive in a bad way. not fun to me at all.Two of the cards I hate are Wild Hunt and Farmer's Market. mandioca15 recently posted a card that I think works well as a replacement for Farmer's Market, so I thought I'd come up with a replacement for Wild Hunt. I kind of turned it into a crossover Empires/Nocturne card...I like the original Wild Hunt better. This comes with a fixed supply of VPs and behaves a bit like a Landmark on a card. You can play with it fairly solitaire-ish. Sure, keep the decks of the other folks in mind and think about how often they want to topdeck for VPs to judge how quickly the VPs will empty but that's it.Quote(modded) Wild Hunt- Action - Night
If it's your action phase: +3 Cards.
If it's your night phase: Receive the next boon.
Either way, you may put a card from your hand onto your deck to take a token from here.

Setup: This pile starts with 6
PS: Anyone know if there was a particular reason why there were no Night cards that gave boons in Nocturne?
Wild Hunt on the other hand comes with a player-driven supply of VPs and is far more interactive which is, at least to me, the main appeal of the card, as well as all other Gathering cards in general.
Hmmm, yeah, maybe it could say receive the boon at the start of your next turn. It's already pretty wordy though.PS: Anyone know if there was a particular reason why there were no Night cards that gave boons in Nocturne?Just go over them: Earth, Field, Forest, Wind and to some degree Sky suck (i.e. do nothing) at Night.

Here is an edit based on the above. I changed the wording, and limited it to the first action played per turn.I like this version. And now that Holy Relic isn't OP, you can tweak excavation to make it a little easier to get.
I don't think Band of Misfits was a mistake. [snipped semantics] ...even if it's a mistake for DXV's goals, the card was really exciting for me when I first saw it, and fun to play with in the games I played, Dark Ages being one of very few paper sets I own. "This is that card" was such silly fun. "This plays some of other card" wouldn't have given me the absurd abstract art joy and may have required more explaining to my family.I second this.
Ok, new card:Looks good, but I think it should cost
The +1 card doesn't hurt since you can reorder and choose what you draw. Thus if you have no actions, you can topdeck a treasure and draw it.
Started out closer to navigator +1 card, but then needed to make a few tweaks. What do you guys think of the price/ number of cards inspected? Should either of those be tweaked?
, maybe even . It's a lot like a card from my fan expansion, Minor, which costs 
, but also gives +

QuoteShanty LibraryRevised a card named Animal Trail from https://s456.hatenablog.com/entry/2019/08/29/171427 .
cost $2 - Action
+1 Card
Put this into your hand.
If this is the first time you played Shanty Library, +2 Actions.
It converts Actions to Cards.
Super strong? Maybe yes, but the second Shanty Library in hand will be useless. Not broken.
Super strong with Champion? Of course yes!
You really should try to avoid putting cards back into your hand (or discarding them) after playing them. You even mention that champion + this provides infinite draw (an infinite combo with only 2 cards), but imagine if you have your +1 coin token on shanty library too. I'm of the opinion that infinite combos should be avoided as much as possible (the ones that exist usually require 5 or more fairly specific cards)
Play it twice and you get +2 Cards, +1 Action, so this is strictly better than lab, but not better enough to cost $6. [EDIT:]Oh nevermind, it's not strictly better than lab because the 2nd one in your hand does nothing. Still, it should probably cost more than $2.QuoteShanty LibraryRevised a card named Animal Trail from https://s456.hatenablog.com/entry/2019/08/29/171427 .

Ancestral Crypt
Cost $5 - Action
+1 Card.
Trash up to two cards from your hand. For each card you trashed, take a coin token per $2 in its cost.
CornucopiaI'd agree with almost all of this except Tournament and Remake should be swapped and Horn of Plenty could maybe be a little higher. As much as I like Jester, I think I agree with its placement.
1. Tournament
2. Remake
3. Hunting Party
4. Menagerie
5. Horn of Plenty
6. Hamlet
7. Farming Village
8. Young Witch
9. Jester
10. Fairgrounds
11. Horse Traders
12. Fortune Teller
13. Harvest
