I'm a fan of many things about Dominion, so this does several of them. I'm a big fan of gainers, tokens, durations, cost reduction, cares-about-types, and player interaction. This is easily the most "me" card I've ever made. (might be a little too strong or too complex.)
Split pile, 5 each, Visionary on top.
Ghoul gives you the option to play a Zombie twice and a Thrones Zombie Spy is strictly better than Lost City.
So you can safely rund two copies given that that first copy you play each turn is always at least a Lost City+ and the second copy you play each turn is a this turn Barge.
I think that this is too good. The first one is better than Lost City (Spy plus the flexiblity of other options) and the second one is Barge.
So you can safely add at least 2 copies to any deck.

Gain a Douchy or Silver to your hand.

In games using this, Victory cards costing $5 or more are also Action cards with the text that says "You may play an Non-Victory Action card from your hand twice."
A Douchy gainer, that also makes douchies and more expensive victory cards be Throne Rooms.
To nerf this a bit, i made those Victory cards not be able to throne room themselfs. I don't think someone should be able to draw a hand of 4 Douchies and one smithy, and be able to play all your deck. There should still be deck control involved.
Priced $6 as it could otherwise be a ridicoulous 5 2 opener, and it gains douchys.
FAQ:
-If the Victory card is an action card or Treasure card with card text, the original card text activates first. So a Nobles FIRST gives you the choice of 3 cards or 2 actions, then it may throne room an action from your hand.
An farm gives you 2 money first, and then you may throne room.
- If you play distant lands, You put it on the tavern mat, and may then play an action card from your hand. That action card stays in play as normal.
New entry, replacing my previous one:
Allows to bring Treasure and even Night cards into play during the Action Phase, as the young hero calls his companion/mentor.
If anyone has a better idea on how to prevent Victory cards from being played this way ("action supply pile" didn't work since the Clashes), feel free to contribute.
Otherwise, FAQ = gives +1 Action (as per the token's ruling, before you play a card with the token on it) and does nothing, is discarded during clean-up.
QuoteImpoverished Village
$3 - Action
+1 Cards
+2 Actions
+2 Buys
-
In games using this, at the end of your Buy phase, if you have at least 2 unused Buys or Actions, gain a Copper.
You get the Copper if you have two or more unused Buys, two or more unused Actions, or 1 unused Action and 1 unused Buy. The top would be strictly better than Village, but it always has to live in a world with the bottom. Even if both Village and Impoverished Village are in the same kingdom, there are reasons to get one, the other, or a mix of both.
I really like this. The Throne Room with a buff as the baseline is fine but nothing to write home about. Where this really shines is as an alt-VP card. You nearly always have Provinces and with this you might want to keep an Estate around. But with a lot of VPs on the Duchy pile you want a midgame Duchy and timing it well is obviously the tricky thing.
So yeah, really great TR variant with a Gathering-like alt-VP twist.
QuoteLady-in-Waiting - $5
Action/Duration/Liaison
Next time you spend a Favor, +2 Cards, +1 Buy, +$1.
Until then, when any player shuffles their deck, +1 Favor.
FAQ:
- In general, you do the effects of spending the Favor before triggering Lady-in-Waiting.
- With Island Folk, you spend the Favors after cleanup, so the cards drawn from Lady-in-Waiting are in your hand on the Island Folk turn, and you only discard Lady-in-Waiting from play during the Cleanup phase of the Island Folk turn (but it won't gain you any Favors during that turn).
- If you play Lady-in-Waiting with City-State, Lady-in-Waiting is not immediately triggered (as the Favors were spent before playing).
- If the Ally has a "Repeat as desired", Lady-in-Waiting triggers on the first Favor spent, and subsequent Favors may only be spent after resolving Lady-in-Waiting.

It has been four days since the contest closed with no further word. If tomorrow there’s still no word, can a mod choose a winner so that the next contest can get posted?
I agree that a card that single-handedly draws your entire deck is overpowered and better than Storyteller, but unlike Storyteller it is no cantrip but only nonterminal.
That would make it pretty pointless in a kingdom without villages.How about:I have thought about this. Thematically, I kind of like the fact that you can't just stop it. I see your point though.QuoteWater WheelIt keeps on turning...
Action - $4
This turn, after you play a card, discard a card for +1 Card.
Yes, it activates on itself.
I like this, but it kind of gets annoying on treasures, prompting a discard each time. I also see casual players misplaying this with treasures.
I like “you may” and I don’t think it makes it too powerful.
I do believe that a blanket "you may" is too strong here. This is already very good if you can pair it with a Village, I want at least some potential downside in there. A potential fix could be that you get to choose to stop at some point, but then the effect is gone for the remained of the turn. Not sure how to best word that though, and it would take away from the simplicity, which is a bit sad.
During your Action phase this turn, after you play a card, discard a card for +1 Card.

This turn, after you play an Action card, discard a card for +1 Card.
How so?
QuoteWise Jester • $5 • ActionChoices choices.
Choose one: discard this from play for +1 Card, +1 Action, and either +$1 or +1 Buy;
or trash this from play for +4 Cards and either +1 Action or +1 Buy.
and Buys with a drawn deck, since you discard it and then draw it, then play it to discard it and then draw it, ad infinitum.
Ransom takes one of your opponent's cards hostage for a turn and you get paid if they try to use or gain copies of it. To clarify: the +2 Coffers is supposed to be either/or per player, not cumulative. If you Ransom Copper, and they play 4 Coppers, you get +2 Coffers not +8. Feedback appreciated, I know this likely needs tweaking. This was a tough one to come up with something! Cool prompt idea though.
more than an already very-strong 
, even though it isn't a cantrip.
