Fortunately, you didn't say anything about the artwork being simple.
Hi, reporting in! I haven't seen many other contest judgers talk about their opinions on the submitted cards during the submission period; if this isn't looked well upon, I won't continue doing this, but I would like to give feedback on the cards beforehand (not just about eligibility). Just like with feedback from other fellow creators, this is meant as material for the card creators to consider when thinking about improving their submission. I like seeing cool and balanced cards! Future me can worry about having too many good cards to choose from when judging.Quote from: kru5hGrand Workshop
⑥ Action
Gain a card costing up to
⑤. If it costs ④ or less,
gain a copy of it.
This looks like a strong gainer. It may not pile things immediately, but oh boy when we're building I can see that pile pressure being real. It sure lives up to its name.
I've made a ⑤-cost gainer for ⑥ that cares about cost of gained card. This is another interesting take.Quote from: spinefluOblige • $2 • Event
Trash a Treasure from your hand. If you did,
gain a Will-O'-Wisp.
Well. I'd love to double-open this. Trash 2 cards, gain two cards that draw? Gimme gimme gimme. It's like Bonfire, except instead of losing the second Copper, you just draw it with the Wisp* (not always, but you know). The thing about Will-o-Wisps is that having a ton of them means that they draw each other. Who needs Coppers to help them draw, they're just a stack of Labs. I like the idea, but it's too strong.
Pretty sure my entry is too late, but I just had an idea that may or may not qualify, so at least for the sake of sharing:
]
Action - Attack - Reserve: $3
If it's the start of your turn, +$2 and each other player discards down to 3 cards in hand.
Otherwise, put this on your Tavern mat.
-
At the start of your turn, you may call this to play it.
Night - Duration: $4
At the end of this turn, +1 Card, then set aside any number of cards from your hand face down under this.
At the start of your next turn, you may play any Attacks set aside with this, and discard the rest for +$1 each.
5/5 split pile: Reserve Attack, and a night card with an end of turn effect. playing Action or Night Attack cards at the start of your turn should hopefully be unusual enough to qualify.
Home Guard is a cheap Militia you can only use at most every other turn. This should hopefully be popular enough to justify acquiring Cover of Darkness as a cheap duration gold when you would otherwise be attacked, with a chance of playing home guard in 1 turn, or gaining actions off your Attacks in general.
apiece? If so, I think it should say "any or all" to make it clearer.
Maybe you won't answer this question, but I'll give it a shot. Will there be landscape cards in the next expansion?
I can answer this question. There won't be.
But there may or may not be landscape card-shaped things.
Well, here is my first attempt at a design. I still think the dual type ought to be necessary to further clarify that it is played in the Buy phase.
In my implementation, taking an effect from a Supplier does not use up a buy, as far too often you would just want to include "+1 Buy" for the effect to be worth it.
instead of $? since it's always worth .
Here's my submission:
(Sinister plot is unique in that it's the only cards where you put coin tokens on.) Takes a little time but you can get a couple free cards to hand with it. Also gives you some flexibility at the start of your turn.
Messenger is the only card still in print that lets you put your deck into your discard pile. Would that qualify as unique? Or do out of print cards (Chancellor, in this case) disqualify uniqueness? I'd assume that doesn't qualify, but I just want to make sure.
Scavenger does this and is still in print.
Man, I forgot about that.
Even the out-of-print cards are still official, though, so I'd assume they'd still count for uniques

Thanks for sending me back down that rabbit hole. It's not Soup related, but I had to contribute an H*R card.

Poverty
$0 - Project
During every player's turns, Treasures are Actions instead.
Original name was a joke that fell into RSP territory, so I changed the name here.
I think some time ago I joked in "Homage To The Best Card" that "Candlestick Maker is a Communist Ducat". I think if Capitalism is a canon card, it should be fairly politically neutral to reverse it and call it Communism, provided that no one takes it as an attempt to start debating anything one way or the other. (In my headcanon, Communism would give Tresaures +1 Action for balance, and it would cost more than $0. The version without +1 Action could reasonably be called "Poverty" given how it plays out...)
I am not sure if the wording on the gain effect is appropriate with the use of the term "in coins"?

You can't buy this if you have Coffers.
Uses Grand Market's you can't buy if you have...
Do I understand it correctly that you can use Coffers for buying Gourmet?
You can not use coffers to buy gourmet, it costs $7.
You may not buy this if you currently have any coffers, including coffers from other gourmets you played during your buy phase.
At the start of your buy phase, you may convert all your coffers to $ to buy this (and other things).
No, this is not correct. Coffers can be removed any time "During you Buy phase, before you buy anything," including after you have played Treasures. Thus, a player could play Gourmet, cash out their Coffers (and any acquired previously) and buy another Gourmet (provided they had at least $4 more, either from those Coffers or from other sources).
Thanks, that part is incorrect, but you still can't spend say 3 coffers and $4 on this, you can however convert 3 coffers before your buy phase start, now you have $7 and can buy this.

: Premier is +1 Action, +1 Buy (strictly worse than several cost cards).: Premier is +2 Actions, +1 Buy. Which is strictly worse than one of my thoroughly playtested cards.: Premier is a Market Square sans reaction.: Premier is a CSM but with + instead of +1 Coffer. Almost always worse than CSM.: Premier is a Worker's Village.: Premier is a Villa sans on-gain effect.: Premier is a Market.
is when it plays something that gives both Actions and Buys, or something that gives all but one of the vanilla bonuses, and those cards are few and far between. Premier is completely outclassed by Throne Room at the same price the overwhelming majority of the time.
Keeping it simple:How can you justify $6? Isn't this strictly worse than Lab?QuoteFair Tide - $6
Dawn - Subdeck
+2 Cards
How do you figure? I mean, if it cost $5, you could lab turns 3&4 at least. That's a high roll for lab
Moat.
new submission: hopefully this isnt terrible
, and this is better than that by a massive margin.

When you play this, if you have exactly 1 other Rabbit in play, gain a Rabbit.
A self-gaining Peddler variant. You normally need to gain at least 2 of these before the self-gaining kicks in, but once you do, they can potentially multiply quickly, especially in games with strong draw. The "exactly 1 other Rabbit" provision is to limit the self-gaining, so that most of the time, the self-gaining only kicks in once per turn. There are, of course, a few situations where it can activate more than once. If you Throne your second Rabbit, for example, then there's still only 1 other Rabbit in play on the second play. Likewise, you can use multiple Overlords or Necromancers (or Captain with cost reduction) and gain a Rabbit each time, if you have only one Rabbit in play. Those command cards can also allow the self-gaining to kick in without gaining a second Rabbit first
I'm debating whether to make it a standard 10-card pile or more than 10, and if more, how many? More than 10 would also fit nicely with the name, since rabbits can quickly increase their numbers
