It has to specify where the trashed card comes from. I assume from your hand?

$5 - Action/Attack/Doom
You may trash this, to move the Jinxed token to an Action supply pile. If you didn't, +2 cards, and each other player gains a card from the Jinxed pile.
-
Setup: Add an Kingdom Action pile costing up to $2 to the supply and put the Jinxed token on it. When a player plays a card from the Jinxed pile, they first receive the next Hex.
A way to use kingdom piles as junk. You can also use it as an expensive one-shot attack on your opponent's engine in a non-mirror. Of coure, instead of using tokens, you could use the randomizer or just an embargo token or something like that.
This is gonna make for really long, slow turns if you put the Jinxed token on something non-terminal.

Action - Reserve - Attack $5
+1 Action
+1 Buy
+ $1
Each other player puts their -1 Card token on top of their deck.
Put this on your Tavern mat.

At the start of your turn, if you haven't called any other Sorcerers this turn, you may call this, and each other player gains a Curse.
As worded, having each other player gain a Curse isn't conditional on calling a Sorcerer. It needs to say "...you may call this. If you do, each other player gains a Curse."

« on: July 05, 2019, 02:34:52 pm »I'd consider a price of $4. At first play it is worse than Sea Hag and "trash 2, junk 1" is similar to Ambassador.
I like this one the best.
Ok. I think I like that one too. I'll update my submission to that.
Now that I think about it, Undead Witch is actually in a way worse than Ambassador since the trashing and junking are limited to Curses. The only way it's better is that you don't have to trash a Curse to give them out.
I was going to say that myself. Hmmm... looks like it's back to the drawing board.
Possible things to change
Increase number of curses you can trash (maybe have no limit)
topdeck the gained curse (like sea hag)
Give some other benefit (+$)
In response to king leon: That is true but ambassador is a much more effective trasher and it can work with cards like copper and estate. It's very likely you'll have at least one of those in your hand. (Not to mention the less common case where you use it to give your opponent(s) a province and end the game).
I think you could get away with making it give +
. +
would make it compare too favorably to Witch at the cost of

Ambassador requires you to have the Curses on your hand. Undead Witch generates them herself.
I said that.

« on: July 04, 2019, 05:37:04 pm »Submission for Renaissance.Would this make a slog of every game by hammering the Estates? A higher price seems much safer so decks build towards bigger greens.
I was thinking the same thing. I like the idea, but it needs to be more expensive.
Or just limit it to non-Action, non-Estate Victory cards.

Adventures, obviously. Not sure if this counts, you can always buy a Curse to trigger the effect.
Version History:
v1.0: Original version.
v1.1: Reduced cost from
to 
and can only be called during your turn.v1.2: Returned cost to
and Curses all players whose turn it isn't (which may or may not include you). Restored ability to call it during your turn.

Action/Attack - $3
+1 Card
+1 Coffers
If you have at least 3 Coffers tokens, each other player gains a Curse. If they did, they get +1 Coffers
1. You have to mention which expansion this is supposed to go with. Is it Guilds or Renaissance?
2. You also need to have an image for the card (not necessarily with art).

Rules Questions / Re: Herald Overpay while Haggler in play. (possible dominion online bug)
« on: July 03, 2019, 03:12:06 pm »Awesome. Thx.
Related clarification on rules (not what I originally tried)
If I have no discard pile, a haggler in play, and then purchase a herald ....
Should I be able to choose to gain a 3 cost card first (as per haggler) and then use the overpay mechanic on herald to put that new 3 cost card on top of my deck? (Since both effects are on guy - I can choose the order yes ?)
Yes, you are correct.

I would call it a Cursed token rather than Cursing. Cursing makes it sound like it gives other players curses rather than cursing yourself.

« on: June 27, 2019, 03:44:17 pm »Returned AdventurerCool idea but strictly worse than Embassy. I'd make the card dig for 2 cards of the named type and consider a price of $4 or consider another buff.
cost $5 - Action
Name a type. Reveal 5 cards from your deck. Put 2 cards with that type into your hand, and discard the rest.
That would be strictly better than Adventurer.

« on: June 27, 2019, 01:56:41 am »1. One other pro to Cabal is that it can't be drawn dead.
Yes it can. You can only topdeck one per turn, so if you draw multiple Cabals with no other Night cards, all but one of them was drawn dead.
True. I was thinking of the case where you only one Cabal, that it couldn't be drawn dead.
Interestingly, if you had 3 of them, you would be able to top deck 2 of them. (of course, outside of other effects, top decking two Cabals means you'd only draw three other cards)
Yeah, I just realized that what I said about all but one of them being drawn dead is wrong. You can actually always topdeck all but the first one played if you get multiple. My point that one can get drawn dead still stands, of course.

« on: June 27, 2019, 01:29:20 am »King Midas
Using "instead" here has confusing ramifications. I think it should say "...when another player plays an Attack card, they trash it and gain a Gold instead of following its instructions." King Midas should also definitely be an Attack itself. And there being multiple King Midases (since he's a Kingdom card) is kinda weird lore-wise. I would suggest the name "Cursed King."
I personally don't like blind trashing (that's why Lookout is currently my least favorite card in the game), but the fact that it gives you a Gold in exchange more than makes up for it. I like it more than Bookstore, personally.

« on: June 25, 2019, 10:15:37 pm »Here's my entry. part of a set i'm working on that emphasizes non-attack player interaction.
Gossip - Action-Duration - $3
Until the end of your next turn, Villagers can be removed from Villagers mats during their owner's Action phase for +1 Action each or +1 Card each. This card affects all players.
link to card creator image bc i can't remember how to resize images using phpbb syntax
This helps your opponents more than it helps you because they didn't have to play it or buy it. The only reason you'd buy it is if you were the only one obtaining Villagers, which is very unlikely.
kinda - you get the bonus during your current turn and your next turn, which balances it out a bit imo
Ah, I misread it as only affecting your current turn. That makes it a bit more balanced, but it still has the issue naitchman pointed out-it's completely useless without a source of Villagers, and giving it +Villagers to fix that issue would disqualify it.
yeah thats fine - its a card whose utility depends on its kingdom, same as Moat when theres no attacks, or a lone potion-cost card in an otherwise potionless kingdom. Its there to make the games where it does fit more interesting.
Except that both of those do SOMETHING at least. You might buy a lone potion-cost card if it's good enough, and Moat still gives you 2 cards. Gossip does literally NOTHING if none of the just 8 sources of Villagers are being used.

« on: June 25, 2019, 06:42:14 pm »Sanctuary got an update. It now gives you up to three out of four cards. This buff is not as big at it seems (because this is a terminal action and still sifts 4 cards), but this makes it more playable in Big Money. I rather wanted to have a mediocre card (like Patrol and Oracle) instead of a bad one (like Harvest and Adventurer). Note, that the gained Silver makes this eventually slower than Hunting Grounds.
It should say "...you may reveal it to gain a Silver to your hand." See Tunnel. This is because if you discard multiple cards, such as with Cellar, only the one on top is visible to the other players.

It always reveals the set aside Action in the end even if the player to your left doesn't have you reveal it. There's no honesty issue.
