New cards is always very exciting! We kind of knew this was coming, I guess, from what DXV has told, but I don't want to take anything for granted! The 2. editions usually either carry forth the ideas from the removed cards in a better package, or tosses them out for something better, so you'll probably understand that I've enjoyed the 2. editions so far.
In Hinterlands 9 cards got swapped out. The wiki says the update pack is 100 cards, but that might include the bane card, so 9 might still be accurate. Dunno where the wiki has that info from?
Guessing which cards that'll be removed is pretty exciting imo, so this is my take on it currently. I'm guessing 5 gets cut from Cornucopia:4 from Guilds:
- Fortune Teller, to fit something stronger/more interesting
- Farming Village, to fit something stronger (that doesn't skip night cards?)
- Tournament, to fit something less of a polarizing that still gives prizes
- Harvest
- Fairgrounds, to spice it up like Silk Road got with Marchland
If the Prizes gets updated too I would be ecstatic! I'm all for cards that makes decisions tougher, and some prizes definitely gets more often picked than others.
- Candlestick Maker, to fit something more interesting
- Masterpiece, as the concept's aldready been redone with Delve in Empires
- Herald, to remove the mandatory playing of Actions, maybe refine it at the same time
- Taxman, to fit something with more immediate strength
I'm hoping if there's a Guilds 3rd edition (with or without other expansions mixed in), it will have events.
As a pure space saver:
"Masterpiece"
Event - $3+
Gain a Copper and set it aside. Put it into your hand at end of turn.
_____________
Overpay: Gain a Silver per $1 overpaid
I'm not personally a fan of Doctor - way too luck based early game and the overpay is clunky. But I like the premise of overpay for deck filtering.
"Doctor"
Event - $3+
Gain a card costing up to $5. Each other player gets +1 Coffers
_______
Overpay: Reveal a card from the top of your deck per $1 overpaid. Trash or discard any number of them.
Silver Mine (Treasure, $5)
Gain a card costing less than this to your hand.
Wild Plains (Action - Duration, $5)Wild plains is a strong Village gainer, as you can always forego Hostelry's on gain effect, leaving your deck Horse free and make it always gain a Hostelry. The other card, Cavalry, looks pretty painful to get. Especially the first one, as you have to fully count on the Horses that came with the Hostelry. In the most boards, getting the Cavalry as opposed to Hostelry will be mostly be a happy accident. This means that whenever the Hostelry pile empties (which will be fast), Wild Plains will mostly be a glorified Market Square. I don't think it is that interesting to play with tbh.
+1 Card
+1 Action
+1 Buy
Now and at your next Start-up, reveal your Deck's top card, you may discard it. If it is a Horse, gain a Cavalry; otherwise gain a Hostelry.
Swill (Action - Duration, $4)As Faust kindly pointed out, gaining an Experiment is the same as gaining 2 horses. Gaining 2 Horses is preferable unless you really want to make use of the fact that there are only 10 experiments in the game. Your submission doesn't seem to make use of that at all. Looking past that, Swill looks absurdly weak; possibly even worse than Scout. Certainly not a winner for this contest.
If this is the first time you played a Swill this turn, at the start of your next turn, discard the top card of your deck. Gain an Experiment per $3 it costs (round down).
Models (Ally)Models is a pretty clever idea for an Ally. It is mostly an ally that makes you wanna have enough Favors at the start of your turn, because in a hand full of terminal actions, or no actions at all, Models is going to be quite helpful. The only downside to this submission is that in a competitive setting, the players may have too few Favors to spend and there may be too many excess Favors to be earned (though I guess several other allies share this problem as well). I'm kinda split on whether this should've been a Project instead.
At the start of your turn, you may spend 2 favors to gain a shanty town to your hand.
Farrier (Action, $5)This looks like it's making for a pretty self contained drawing engine. In most Farrier games, Supplies will be the only Horse gainer, so all Horses that are in your deck are already in your hand before drawing Farrier; you just hope that you can draw Farrier before spending your last Horse. As such, playing Farrier non-terminally may be somewhat tricky. But that's okay; a Smithy that can generate Supplies is already worthy of the $5 price tag. Playtesting needs to be done to see if this is broken or underwhelming or alright, but the submission seems pretty well thought out.
+3 Cards
You may play a Horse from your hand. If you don't, you may discard a Treasure to gain a Supplies.
The objective for this week is: Design a card that gains from a specific Kingdom pile.
sorry for asking this question, but does it have to be a specific named card? can we say "set aside a kingdom supply card costing X" or "a card of X type"?
Self serving Smithy (Action, $5)
+3 Cards
-
When you gain this, gain a Village.
I like this idea! I think a Trait that make a pair of piles that exchange for the other one (like Vampire/Bat) could be more interesting, and simpler.QuoteShapeshifting (Trait)
If a Supply pile is empty: when you gain or discard from play a Shapeshifting card, trash it to gain a card from the set aside pile.
-
Setup: Set aside an unused Kingdom pile of cards costing the same as the Shapeshifting pile (these are not in the Supply).
AtticVery cool submission, but I think you should rewrite the bottom part to:
$4 Action - Memory
+1 Action
Put a non-victory card from your hand onto your memory mat.
--
At the start of each of your turns next game, put a card from your memory mat into your hand.
At the start of each of your turns next game, put a non-Memory card from your memory mat into your hand.That way, you cannot put the Attics you installed at the end of the game into your hand, and I don't think we should be able to transfer Memory cards between games anyway.
Duchy Dance Academy (Victory/Memory, $8)
3%
-
At the start of next game, +1 Coffers
Shapeshifting (Trait)
When you discard a Shapeshifting card from play, exchange it for a Shapeshifting card of the other pile.
-
Setup: Set aside an unused Kingdom Supply pile costing the same as the Shapeshifting pile. These are also Shapeshifting cards.
When gain or when buy triggers are usually not modeled as Reactions. Given that you can only play it once, I fail to see why this is not a Victory.You are right that it doesn't need to be a Reaction. But making it a Victory card was kind of impossible as that would require two separators, which is a no-no.
