Variants and Fan Cards / Basketmaker
« on: September 11, 2016, 01:47:19 pm »
I have lurked on these forums for a long time; this is my first post.
This is a fan card I came up with:
Basketmaker
$2+ - Action Duration
+1 Action
You may set aside an Action card from your hand. At the start of your next turn, play it.
-----
When you buy this, you may overpay for it. If you do, gain an Action card costing the amount you overpaid, setting it aside. At the start of your next turn, play it.
So most of my play group thinks it is a trap and underpowered, and only ever good for the overpay. However, given that moving stuff to next hand, like tactician, is usually better than giving it this turn, I think it is fairly reasonable. It is very similar to haven, giving effectively +1 action next turn instead of +1 card this turn.
The overpay is like a generalized summon.
Thoughts? Is it strong? Weak? Interesting?
