Instead of paying this card’s cost, you may trash a Deed from your hand.

When you trash this, +1 VP
This is the first time I've ever participated in one of these contests, so please excuse any mistakes I make thanks to my noobness. Anyways, here's my idea. Probably needs some tweaks but I think it's interesting.
Appraiser
$2* Treasure
-
When you play this, trash this and gain two cards with a combined cost exactly equal to this in $.
-
This costs $1 more per card you have in play.
SleepwalkerSo, you could have Goons as a Dream card and reliably play it every time you have another card costing $2 in your hand? You know what, that sounds fun!
$2
Action
Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal a Dream card. Discard the other revealed cards, then play the Dream card.
--
Setup: Choose 3 random Action Supply piles other than Sleepwalker. Action cards from those piles are Dream cards.
I don't think Rotten Egg Basket should be a reaction. Duchess isn't a reaction.
Rotten Egg Basket
$3 Curse

-4 VP
-
When you gain this, look through your discard pile for up to 2 cards named Curse, then trash them.
QuoteRotten Egg BasketJust like putting all your eggs in one basket- you can bundle your Curses up into one slightly more Curse-y card and (hopefully) trash it later!
$3 Curse-Reaction
---
-4 VP
-
When you would gain a Curse, you may gain this instead. If you do, reveal cards from your deck until you reveal 2 cards named Curse. Return the revealed Curses to the Supply and discard the rest.
Errata: I was considering adding a Setup rule to add an extra Curse-giving Attack to the kingdom to make up for the potentially wasted space, but decided that was way too wordy.
Avoiding letting it return itself to the Supply was a problem and has made the wording a little weird too, I'd appreciate feedback on how to make it a bit simpler!
EDIT: fixed the text to match the card image (it said -3VP)
I think it is simpler to just make it a buyable card that moves curses back when purchased. I would do something like this.Quote-4%
-
When you buy this, +1 Buy. Look through your discard pile. Move up to 3 Curses from your hand or discard pile to the supply.
Is it supposed to be -3VP or -4VP? the image and description don't match.QuoteRotten Egg Basket

FlyerBeast as the runner-up.
Very interesting cards and Traveller combos.Thanks for the kind feedback! I've reworked those cards a bit, mostly to make them less powerful. So, here's the set with the changed ones in:
Morsel - I do enjoy the decision a player has to make about when to start this line and give their opponents a free Coffers token. That Coffers will mean different things at different stages of the game; early game probably seeing the most benefit. Of course (get it... course!?) those Coffers may be more beneficial to the player that has extra Buys to use them with.
Morsel/Meal Combo- Cool combo potential with Morsel. I wonder if it's too strong though. One Morsel/Meal combination makes $9 Coin and 4 Buys (including your starting Buy). For 2 Morsels/Meal it's $14 Coin and 6 Buys. With Coffers laying around it wouldn't be that hard to hit 1 Province and 2 Provinces respectively. I think this will end games a lot faster than people can get a Toast thing going.
Dessert - I can tell you from experience that +3 Coffers is very strong, even on a terminal Action. Enough so that it almost on its own justifies the all powerful, fourth, Traveller line spot. Adding the ability to gain a $5 cost makes it bonkers strong. The top decking from play is also a very good ability on it's own.
Toast - I like the trashing effect. If it's there to punish players, I don't think the game will ever last long enough to get to that point.
Again, this is a very interesting line. I just think a closer look needs to be taken on a few of these cards. Thanks for sharing!
MealI just reduced the +$2 per Buy to +$1. Just +$1 for a $4-cost card seemed bad to me at first but I'd say it's balanced alongside Miser etc? One play of this and a Morsel will still get you $5 though so it's still pretty strong.

+1 Buy
When you play this,
+$1 per Buy you have.
(Including the +1 Buy from this)
-
When you discard this from play, you may exchange it for a Dessert, or two Morsels.
DessertThough it's a lot wordier now, it's more similar to Feast (And therefore, I hope, balanced at $5) in that it 'trashes' itself back a stage or two. I might be too enamoured by the card-from-play-topdecking though so I nerfed it and kept it as a choice. 3 Coffers is an awful lot now I think of it, so that's been reduced. I had to clumsily say 'put it into your discard' instead of 'discarding it' because otherwise if you exchanged it for a Meal you could exchange it straight back into a Dessert again.

Choose one: +2 Coffers and put a card costing up to $5 you have in play on top of your deck; or gain a card costing up to $5 and exchange this for a cheaper Traveller, putting it into your discard pile.

When you discard this from play, you may exchange it for a Toast.
MorselThat's a heck of a discouragement from buying this! Hope it turns out to be worth it...

$1
+2 Buys
-
When you gain this, each player (including you) gets +1 Coffers. When you discard this from play, you may exchange it for an Aperitif.
AperitifI'm a sucker for mixing up types so here's a Treasure-Attack with some self-junking.
$3* Treasure-Attack-Traveller
--
When you play this, you may trash this, to gain a Gold to your hand. Otherwise, +$2 and each player (including you) gains a Copper.
-
When you discard this from play, you may exchange it for a Meal.
MealA Buy-Diadem. Plus, you can loop around in this traveller line! And... aha, that's what the +2 Buys on the Morsels are for!

+1 Buy
When you play this,
+$2 per Buy you have.
(Including the +1 Buy from this)
-
When you discard this from play, you may exchange it for a Dessert, or two Morsels.
DessertI had to have an actual Feast-like effect in one of these cards, obviously. The topdecking might force you to slow down some of your Travelling?
$5* Treasure-Traveller
--
+3 Coffers
Gain a card costing up to $5. Put a card you have in play on top of your deck.
-
When you discard this from play, you may exchange it for a Toast.
ToastI might have gone a bit far in the trashing 'downside' for this, but I'd imagine that by the seventh shuffle you'd have given yourself enough junk that this could be helpful for streamlining your deck (plus, the Buy this card gives you could be useful for buying extra Coppers to trash)
$6* Treasure-Duration
--
For the rest of the game, when you play a Traveller, +1 Buy, +$2 and +1VP. During each clean-up phase, if you played one or more Travellers this turn, trash a card instead of discarding it.
(This stays in play. This is not in the Supply.)
