Recommendation: do not put Port, Rats, Changeling or Castles into the Item piles in a game, unless you really want to annoy everyone at the table.
Schwerin Cathedral
Action, $3
Trash up to 3 cards from your hand.
At the start of your next turn, trash the same number of cards from your hand.
I really enjoy that animals breed like crazy: Rats, Magpie.
Bats might seem like an an exception, but they aren't animals -- they're actually Vampires in disguise!
Goat is an exception, but it does really fit with goats eating everything.
Bureaucrat slows everything down (makes you have to redraw your estate).
Not to mention your Silver.
I love internal game flavor that doesn't translate outside Dominion but has become engrained in our collective consciousness as reasonable nonetheless; e.g., the experience of being haunted is similar to putting things from your hand on top of your deck, or, locations where royalty are found allow you to repeat something you've already done.
Or that villages allow you to do more stuff.
The gardener can slow down the provincer by sending (early) Estates or (later) Coppers (Curses?) via Messenger buys. It's probably not enough though.
Landmarks that give Villagers

(*a word which here means my Minions learned Lost Arts)
Star Chart + Inn
Shuffle discarded actions back into your deck, choose one to go on top.
Star Chart + Vassal/Herald/Golem/Ghost
If any of these cause a shuffle you can choose exactly which action they'll play.
Hireling is $6 and is stackable. The Hireling effect is delayed by a shuffle and costs an extra action. To make up for it, one coin seems to be too little, but since it is harder to spike and not stackable I agree that it'd be ok at $7.I disagree. Citadel is nearly always better than +1 Card (if you Throne a mere Pearl Diver Citadel is +1 Card and +1 Action) so Hireling as Project would probably be too expensive at $8 and would have to cost $7.In that case, a +1 card project would be at least $9, and I might even put it at $10, since +1 card is even better when it's at the start of your turn.
This is not the Project - Events parallels thread, but I would think $9 would be enough since Pathfinding is $8 while Lost Arts is at the same price as Barracks. With Innovation and Hireling in the Kingdom, I'd probably ignore a +1 Project at >$7.
So... is Barracks overpriced?
In that case, a +1 card project would be at least $9, and I might even put it at $10, since +1 card is even better when it's at the start of your turn.
