Coppersmithy
Action $6
Draw three cards. Copper produces an extra $1 this turn.
without another card that provides Coin tokens it is dead
People keep saying this, but I don't see how?
Because "bidding coin tokens" means you have to have coin tokens, in the English sense.
I see now the intent here may be that having your opponents gain coin tokens is supposed to be the only impact, not losing coin tokens. If this is the case, the card should say "bid a number", since you aren't bidding coin tokens in your possession.

If no one bids at least 1 Coin Token, you trash the card. The player who wins the bid gains revealed card in hand and each other player gains the number of Coin Tokens bid by the winning player.
Anyway, a concern with it now is that the Lab event is arguably way better than Island, because you can stash VP away immediately and for lower cost instead of having to wait a shuffle and hoping the Island collides with a good target. It's not a dealbreaker (the 2VP on Island still counts for something) but it's something to keep in mind.
when you buy the MSL event (Man, I need to change these to shorter names) before you can put 2 cards on the MM. It's a 
one-shot that can't be throne-roomed.Depending on the board, no, I usually wouldn't be buying Gardens just to trash them. I'd be racing to build my engine and end the game before those Gardens get big.Of course, everything depends on the board. As a general rule, though, denying your opponent points is a worthwhile tactic, especially in the example I gave above.
Even if that were a comparable situation though, the Potion cost makes it different. If you are already going for this card, you'll have Potions to buy it. If I hadn't gone for it from the start, then doing it just to deny you is a losing strategy. It's slower (I have to get a Potion or two first) and when I do start buying Monsters, they are going to be much weaker than yours. Trying to follow your strategy late when it's weaker for me is just a losing proposition. Either I should focus on what I was doing in the first place or I should have gone for Monsters from the start. If it counts all VP cards, then the latter is probably the case and the card becomes very centralizing.I agree, that's why I changed the card above so all the cards are on the Monster Mat are returned to the respective decks at the end of the game before scoring, so they cannot be worth any VP. I liked the idea of Stitched-Together Monster could be worth Victory Points at the end of the game, but I don't see a way to make it work (yet).
It still shouldn't allow you to put VP cards on the mat. Or if you do, it shouldn't be worth VP at all, no matter what's on the mat.
Perhaps bits should fall off again? When you play Stitched-Together Monster, one card is discarded, and the others return to your mat?
