Edited the original to add making it worth getting early and hope it's worth it.Any suggestions? Do you think the card is irrelevant in total? I could add +1 card or a victory token. I also thought about adding the same rule as distant lands about it being worth points if on the Tavern mat.Distant TravelerThis is a card with a fairly irrelevant price as you don’t want it early anyway (unless the Kingdom is a junk festival).
$2 Action - Reserve
+1 Action
Put this on your Tavern Mat.

At the start of your turn, you may call this. If you do Gain a Distant Lands.

Setup: Add Distant Lands outside of the supply pile.
Is the wording correct on the Setup? Thoughts on the price?

Good catch, Thanks. Edited the originalNot sure if this would be better as an Action or Treasure. For now I have it as an action

Discard any number of Treasure cards from your hand. +1 Favor per Treasure card discarded this way.
This needs to make you reveal the discarded cards (see Opulent Castle, Shepherd, and Silos). When you discard multiple cards, only the topmost card is public information by default. My suggested wording: "Discard any number of Treasures, revealed, for +1 Favor each."
I was trying to design a $6 card since Seaside doesn't have one and I kinda liked the idea since my first thoughts didn't work out too well and was too powerful.I see what you are saying. So how aboutBut why do you have +$1 and +$1 per Treasure card on your Island Mat? I think you should cut the +$1. Why not just make it a Treasure instead of an Action-Treasure?

When you play this, during your buy phase put a Treasure card from your hand on your Island mat. Worth $1 per Treasure card on your Island map.
I see what you are saying. So how aboutThe action is the +1 Card and to put a treasure card on the Island Mat. Unless I am missing what you are meaning. I also didn't want to add +1 Action as i think it may make it too powerful. I did add the (or reveal you can't) as I missed that part. But this is just an idea and always listening to comments to make sure it fits the theme and makes sense to the game.New submission:

A couple things. Putting treasure onto the Island mat has an accountability issue as is. Either making it a "you may" or adding a clause to "or reveal you can't" should resolve that. Secondly, right now there is no real reason to play this as an action except for the possibility of drawing an Action card. Hope that helps.
As written, it appears to all happen regardless of phase as none of it is conditional. See Crown for example.

I will scrap this idea and see if something else comes up.Differently? You literally got Grand Market again. You always gotta look at the net effects and the second turn effect doesn’t require a card to draw or an Action to spend.I wouldn't say you get it twice. T1 you get the top part and T2 you get something different.Ship Market

This card is way too good atm, it provides a grand market in t1 and t2, but is cheaper than it.
This really needs to be nerfed, because it provides a value of 7$ twice, at the cost of 6$.QuoteSo what do you think about:Well, unless you draw your hand every turn this version is likely still better than GM.

So still overpowered. Grand Market works because of its non-Copper clause and likely would not work well at $7 or $8.

CONTEST CLOSED!!!Yes that will be the one I will enter. Thanks
Sorry for the delay in posting this. I got stuck in a meeting. Once again, I am posting what I think is the complete list of all of the submissions. If I am missing any, or if the link is to the the wrong one, please let me know ASAP. I will try to have the judging completed in a day or two.
Lackar, I am planning to judge the last version of Cursed Bishop you posted (on Thursday at around 2:00 p.m. contest time) unless I hear otherwise.

Does this seem not as aggressive and priced right?
Tbh I think it's kinda weak now. E.g, why would you want to use an action to trash a single copper, if every other player also gets to trash a card, and I also don't see how the +1 Card option is ever going to get chosen, unless you don't have a copper you want to trash.
Imo replacing +1Card with +1 buy or +2 crads might be better, alltgough +2 cards could be a little bit strong.
I like the extend use of Victory tokens in this newer Version, but other than that I don't really see a use for this card, because it can't thin your deck (and even helps your opponents), nor does it actually harm your opponents.
As it stands right now the play is probably to hope someone else buys it, that way you get to thin your deck a little, and spend your 5$ on more worthwile cards.
And btw I would put a "+" infront of the coin and victory token, and add the Doom typing to the card.
I was going off the original Bishop and it lets the other players trash a card also. The older version was too aggressive as there was 2 attacks in the card. I will see what I can come up with to modify it.Does this seem not as aggressive and priced right?

Does this seem not as aggressive and priced right?Let me know your thoughtsThis looks potentially more frustrating than Mountebank at first glance, you get to junk your opponent twice while also scoring a bit and trashing a copper of your own (also your card needs to say where the copper is being trashed from, I’m assuming it’s your hand).
I think this would favour a 5/2 opening way too much.

When another player plays an attack card, you may reveal this from your hand first. Look at the top 3 cards of your deck. Discard any and put the rest back on your deck in any order.
Two problems I see here:
1. There's no limit to how many times you can reveal a card as a reaction. This would allow you to go through your deck as many times as you want, which would be especially problematic with cards like Tunnel - you could empty out the Gold pile right away with that - and even without cards like that, you could reveal it as many times as you want to get a perfect next three cards
2. This doesn't put it into play, which was the requirement of the contest
I would suggest the following:QuoteHidden Cave

"When you gain this on your turn" would be a reasonable fix I think. There are still ways the opponent could mess with you (e.g. playing a Reaction as Way of the Mouse-Ambassador), but they are signficantly less attainable.Jetty (Action, $4)

Return an Embargo token.
------
When you gain this, take 3 Embargo tokens. You can't buy cards while you have any Embargo tokens.
This can kill one player easily.
play Swindler to make your opponent gain Jetty
play another to make your opponent trash that
Maybe gaining a Curse per an Embargo token is better.
That’s a good catch. Will have a think on how to fix this - might come up with another card altogether.
There is still the issue that with any sort of trashing attack, going for Jetty is extremely risky, and that could make the card super swingy and unfun. Another solution that addresses that would be "When you trash this, return all your Embargo tokens" - though I guess that still does not account for Cardinal.
