Adder
$6, Event
After this turn, add another card to the kingdom.

Remover
$2, Event
After this turn, remove a card from the kingdom.

Now every game can end with a city quarter-bridge-goons megaturn!

(Unfortunately, I told this to my kids, and now we play with this almost every game... It was clever the very first game. And only that game.)

Black Adder

$4 Night
Add another card to the kingdom.

Throne room seems by far the hardest-to-grasp card in the base game, leading to the most rules questions. Did you predict this in playtesting?

Would you ever consider bringing back the adventures tokens? I feel like there's still a bunch of design space left there.

Festival, Donate, Tomb. Buy and trash the entire coppers pile, have a deck with no green, and still win on vp tokens.

This strat also works with Goons and a Village, rather than a +buy card and Tomb.

You missed Island, Native Village, and Pirate Ship mats from Seaside. Probably also want to separate Coffers from Villagers.

So we have +$ as a token, +Action as a token, and now, +Card as a token (I assume that's how Horses will work). Now we just need +Buy as a token to complete the vanilla set.


And +VP as a token

oh... wait...

Currently, a When2Meet schedule is posted in the division channel only late into the season (I don't know the exact mechanics.) I don't see why it shouldn't be there the whole season. It's easier to write the times I'm free on a spreadsheet-type thing than it is to describe it with just text.

So, when's the judging?

Now!

GendoIkari   Something Something   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802874#msg802874

I mean, you skip chapel when it's on the board, but it makes the game less interesting and breaks the game by conflicting with other cards (How does Remodel work with this on the board?). Points for being snarky though, I guess.

hhelibebcnofnena   Church   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802875#msg802875

This does significantly and targetedly nerf chapel. As broken as Donate and Cathedral, but without as much effect on the game; Donate fundamentally changes the game into a puzzle, and whether to skip Cathedral in favor of longevity can be an interesting decision.

Chappy7   Hoard House   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802876#msg802876

Gives you a sizeable point bonus if you don't trash. The versatility of a thin deck IMO makes one unlikely to pursue a bonus even as large as this one, as it also kills trash for benefit.

ClouduHieh   Bull+Pile of Dung   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802882#msg802882

Yeah no, you buy Chapel with Bull on the board in order to play it more. Gaining copper from the trash to hand makes this a minor TD+BM enabler, and an attack that's only directed at VP is kinda interesting.

LibraryAdventurer   Schoolhouse   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802891#msg802891

Interesting decision whether to go for this or Chapel, though I still feel like Chapel usually wins. Feels like an Island variant.

mail-mi   Trench   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802892#msg802892

Feels like perhaps the penalty needs to be steeper; avoiding trashing your starting cards nets you 10 points by the end of the game. Probably not worth it.

Aquila   Landfill Tax   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802893#msg802893

Nerfs trashing in a more creative way than losing VP. Fun idea.

Awaclus   Co-Cathedral   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802904#msg802904

Effectively opening with 2 Labs and a Silver feels nuts, but not as in-your-face game-warping as donate. It might actually be a good way to introduce newer players to trashing.

Gubump   Exchequer   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802909#msg802909

I like the effect, but the price is too high to be useful, especially as a chapel-deterrent.

naitchman   Regret   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802910#msg802910

I expect to buy Chapel on boards with this as frequently as I buy Steward. Also makes trash for benefit insane if you do trash more than once per turn, which actually sounds really fun to try to pull off; Butcher a province into a province and play a forager to just gain the province.

mandioca15   Vestry   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802929#msg802929

I still get chapel with Vestry on the board. I probably open with both and hope to trash 6 cards after the first shuffle, which adds more swinginess. +buy now and at start of turn is a neat effect.

scolapasta   Apse Chapel   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802942#msg802942

The Worshipper tokens are clever. I don't think gaining a $4 is usually worth the opportunity cost of trashing an extra 2 cards. The benefit of Apse Chapel, of course, is that you can guarantee you hit the exact card you want (You don't need to lament about not trashing estates because you drew your Chapel with 4 coppers). Definitely an interesting card.

Chris is me   (Unnamed)   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802950#msg802950

Bonus points for describing why it makes you want to skip Chapel, though I'm not sure your reasoning's that compelling; I buy chapel on Highway, Bridge, etc. decks so that I can play those cards more frequently. I really like the design though.

segura   Mausoleum   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802972#msg802972

It's hoard house, but a sliding scale rather than all-or-nothing. I don't think 20 points is enough to outmatch a well-trashed deck though.

Gazbag   Abbey   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg802977#msg802977

Feels worse than Recruiter, but Recruiter's a really good card so I'll give it some slack. Regardless, it's not very exciting.

Commodore Chuckles   Income Tax   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803032#msg803032

Ooh! Wanting a deck with cheap cards is not a reason to skip chapel that I'd thought about, but it totally makes sense. Unfortunately, 9 points isn't enough of a swing to make me skip chapel.

majiponi   Poor Land   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803054#msg803054

Feodum but not! Too expensive for a default 2 points, though.

faust   Prayer   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803066#msg803066

You don't buy chapel with this on the board, and it doesn't kill trash for benefit, but I'm not sure how I would use it in a deck. Like, I buy one, trash a goons from the supply, then I trashed a card so I gain the prayer, then later I play the prayer for the goons, but my opponent has time to pick up the goons before me? It's hard to wrap my head around, probably moreso than any printed card.

Kudasai   Blasphemer   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803075#msg803075

I feel like the interactive part doesn't really make you want to skip chapel to avoid giving the opponent VP, and you don't always trash all of your coppers in chapel decks because you sometimes need the extra economy. I like the idea of that trigger for the interaction though.

anordinaryman   Tithings   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803134#msg803134

Similarly complex to Faust's Prayer card, which I guess is a big possibility with fan cards. Nevertheless, It provides a good alternative to chapel, especially on boards with cheap +buy.

King Leon   Dowser+Pendulum   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803156#msg803156 http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803117#msg803117

I'm gonna imagine King Leon's thought process as he was creating this pile. "Hmm... I like Commodore Chuckles' income tax's idea of rewarding a deck with cheap cards, but rather than giving out points, I'll instead make it easier to draw.  But opening with a card that can draw 4 coppers is way overpowered, so I'll make it cost debt! Wait, that makes it wordier if I want it to always draw a kingdom card. I can put it under a split pile! Yeah!"

wittyhowlard   Sustainable Living   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803289#msg803289

You don't skip chapel with Forge on the board, so you don't skip chapel with this on the board. And I'm having a hard time thinking of a situation where I'd want to trash a bunch of cards with a combined cost of at least 20 to gain 2 provinces.

NoMoreFun   Reflection   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803296#msg803296

I still think trashing down is worth more than a bunch of VP. I could see myself skipping chapel for this on a tactician board, maybe.

Fragasnap   Coilliery   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803305#msg803305

It's no secret by now that I like rewarding a cheap deck at this point. However, this seems a bit too powerful; unbounded draw works with Scrying Pool because it's kinda hard to fill your deck with actions. It's much easier, on the other hand, to fill your deck with <$5 cards.

artless   Foreman   http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=18987.msg803308#msg803308

You buy Chapel even with Junk Dealer on the board, so you buy Chapel with this on the board. This also seems much worse than Junk Dealer; I'd rarely trash an action card for a village effect, and that option is not worth the inability to trash estates, let alone the swinginess added by preventing trashing from hand.

Aaaand, that's everyone.

Thanks for y'all's submissions. The final deadline for new entries will be Noon on June 11 Eastern Time.

Prediction for card text:
While this is in play, at the start of your turn, set aside a card under it. When there are 3 or more cards set aside under it, trash them.

On my opponent's turn, he played a Village and two Attack cards. I had a Lighthouse which protected me from the first attack, but not the second. What happened?
The first attack was young witch, and lighthouse was the bane.

Sorry for the late reply starting the new chain; Didn't think I'd actually win.

Challenge #32: Make me skip chapel!

Basically, in a kingdom with the card (-shaped object) you design for this contest, and chapel, make it frequently a viable strategy never to buy a chapel.

Printed things that do this that come to mind include (but might not be limited to) Donate, Cathedral, Gardens, Philo-stone, and Fountain. Entries will be judged based on:
* How likely they are to make me skip chapel (You usually buy Chapel even when Gardens is on the board.)
* How much they don't completely break the game (You obv skip chapel in a game with a $2 Event that says "Gain the province pile")
* How much I personally like them (duh)

I'll try to judge on Monday, June 10.

Reuse $3 Action

Play this as if it were a different Action card in play. This is that card until it leaves play.

Overpowering. If I play Necropolis, Smithy, and Reuse, it will be double-lab. You should remove +1 Action.

The same argument could be made for Royal Carriage. Barring scheme, it's hard to be sure you get 2 specific action cards in your starting hand.

Duration cards are orange because they need to be distinguished from other cards during the cleanup phase. I feel like "In games using this" clauses should be better distinguished in the same way. There is precedent for creating a new type for a function that already exists: Lost in the Woods behaves exactly like an artifact.

The Automatic Type
The stuff below the line happens if the card is in the supply. Now let's do some crazy stuff with it!


Sterling
$3 Action - Automatic
+2 cards
-
When you gain a silver, gain a Sterling.


Megachurch
$4 Action - Automatic
Trash any number of cards from your hand
-
When you trash a card without using a Megachurch, put it into your hand.


Nomadic Tribe
$4 Action - Automatic
+2 cards
+2 actions
+1 buy
Put 2 cards from your hand onto your deck.
-
Cards cost $1 more. At the start of your turn, +$2


Royal Coppersmith
$6 Action - Automatic
+1 buy
Reveal your hand. +1$ per copper revealed
-
At the start of your turn, gain a copper to your hand, then you may trash a card from your hand.


Underground Witch
$5 Action - Automatic
+1 card
+1 action
+1 buy
Each other player gains a curse
-
The curse pile starts with 10 extra curses. When you gain a victory card, gain a curse.
