Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Dominion: Adversity (Beta)

Closing Sale: Seems a bit weak. It's comparable to bridge, but the 4-5 jump might be a bit much. An extra buy could do this guy good.
Crows: Might be a bit weak, maybe increase it to 1 VP if the pile is empty. It's comparable to great hall, but thats a bad card and a cheaper one at that.
Den of Theives:  Needs clarification. Does this happen each turn when it's on your tavern mat? It's comparable to miser if you do the ability at the start of each of your turns.
Detain: Seems a bit OP. It might wotk as a peddler+ at 5.
Dying Village: Seems good, but a bit weak thematically. I was expecting a $2 village variant.
Illusion/Paramensia: Might work better as an option variant with a curser. As of now their useless on most boards.
Inquisition: Seems good, any problems I find with it I also find with masq so I wouldn't worry about it.
Night Patrol: Useless of most boards, it needs a duration or reserve. Change up the attack a bit.
Pavillion: I'd test it at +2 cards as well.
Safe House: Thematically,  how is this a treasure? The reaction seems a bit niche though, I'd mess around with it.
Sanction: Mention from where in your deck. Seems OP for 3, as it's almost council room. This version might work at 5, 3 is too cheap IMO.
Vacate: The bottom needs a bit clearing up. 4 should be better, this version might be better than caravan even at 4.
Plauge Doctor: You can drop the text in ( ) if you want to, but that's more of a preference.
Exotic Traders: Interesting. Might work, needs actual testing.
Travellers: I'd just suggest trying something simpler first, travellers are really hard to balance.
All these look amazing! Looking forward to seeing more of your cards!

Looks good! The image for your first card is already used by me and is on an old card of aspers BTW.

There's a similar card called "Crop Rotation" that seems pretty balanced to me. I suggest you take a look at it.

...impossibru?

Okay, whatever. I'll say my solution because it may not be possible after all.

You have only $5 to spend with one buy, and you have to go ahead and buy a Province, right?

Here's what you have in hand: Silver, Silver, Quarry, Watchtower.

Play treasures, buy Traveling Fair, $3 left to spend. Quarry cheapens action cards, buy Cultist, trash with Watch tower, draw 3 Platinums, buy Province.

It's probably not possible because I don't know if you can play treasures once you actually buy something. I don't think I even need a Donald conformation, it doesn't work in MF or Goko now that I think about it. So yeah, not a real solution.

I'm not good at this puzzle thing at all.
I was thinking:
Play Princess and $5. Borrow for 6, buy a province, call duplicate to get an extra $6 province.

1 Ambassador
32 Pillage
Both cards are unique, but pillage is meaner. Ambassador is to much of a insta-buy.
2 Mountebank
31 Relic
Same thing. Good cards are to annoying. Relic is interesting and a potent attack.
3 Goons
30 Oracle
I forget what oracle does.
4 Cultist
29 Giant
Down with the good cards.
5 Scrying Pool
28 Cutpurse
I hate cutpurse. It makes your turns suck, and it never hits when I play it.
6 Followers
27 Soldier
Soldier just seems stupid, and I hate followers too. Followers wins simply because It's more brutal.
7 Witch
39 Pirate Ship
Pirate ship is lame, which gives witch the edge.
8 Urchin/Mercenary
25 Jester
GOOOOOOO JESTER! It's banned in 4 or more player games, but it's still a fun card. Prince? Gimme one of those. Platinum? You can have it. JK! BWAHAHAHAHAH!
9 Swindler
24 Rabble
I love messing with people.
10 Torturer
23 Soothsayer
Soothsayer is boring, and torturer is more thematic.
11 Minion
22 Knights
I hate minion. It doesn't seem to have any use and trashing the crap out of an opponent’s deck is fun.
12 Familiar
21 Bridge Troll
Familiar is to luck-based and I don't really like P cards.
13 Sea Hag
20 Swamp Hag
Srsly? These two against each other? Swamp Hag's +$3 gives it the edge.
14 Young Witch
19 Haunted Woods
Bane cards are too much work.
15 Militia
18 Marauder
EDIT: I like militia better. Tough choice.
16 Margrave
17 Ghost Ship
Both interesting attacks, but maragrave takes the win as an attack that doesn't make your opponent’s grumble as much.

1410
You never want to click "play all tresures" when there's Save on the board


Ditto for if you want to buy something you've got your trashing token on and trash out a spare copper!
How many times have you opened 5/2 with Alms, and hit play all treasures?
That's why I play IRL :D.

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Alchemy Cards: Potion
« on: April 29, 2016, 07:36:47 am »
I like Potion games.
I love cards where Potion is more than just extra opportunity cost, but rather an interesting twist in how the card works, as seen in Alchemist, Vineyard, and Apothecary, to some extent.
Some cards work well even just using Potion as an extra access barrier, like Possession, Scrying Pool, and University.
For some others I think the coin price is too steep, resulting in unsure results after your big Potion investment. I think I would prefer Familiar at 2P and Golem at 3P. Alchemist at 2P would probably make Dominion a slightly happier place too.

Philosopher stone just doesn't work too well with a Potion cost.
Transmute just doesn't work too well, but man, I wish it did.

I'd love a few more Potion cards. I think Alchemy suffered from having a few unpolished cards (and a few slow cards), rather than due to Potions alone.

If I agree with your post am I supposed to give each one respect?

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Adventures Cards: Hireling
« on: April 26, 2016, 07:16:18 am »
As it's competing with Gold, I'd probably rather just get a Gold instead, even though this is more exotic and exciting.

However, if I can get it cheaper via Quarry, then that would be my hook.  And yeah, if there's going to be a slog, then this could be nice.

Plus, any case where you realize how much nicer things would be if you only had one extra card :)
I think it's usuallynot  the right move not to get a gold before you have a few of these things. Perma-labs are pretty good. Gold is a $6 card in one hand, Hireling is a $5 card in all your hands.

Rules clarification : "exchange" means that you must have the same number of cards in your hand when you start and when you stop exchanging.
Don't listen to the rule lawyer fraction who thinks that "exchange A for B" should only apply for Travellers. The word is quite intuitive and perfectly fine for the card. Anybody of yours friends whom you play with will immediately get what it means.
Well, he has a point. Maybe just use a not already taken word that means the same thing, i.e. "Swap"

What's old is new again. :)

Well there you go. I thought somebody must have done this before, but I'm new here and only recently discovered these nice card templates.  :)
I have one like this too:

(should be cost $4, but apparently I haven't updated it since the cost change.)

Here's my version.

1 Chapel
25 Bishop Just way more interesting. It also combines some of my two favorite concepts, Non-Attack interaction and VP tokens.

4 Masquerade More unique, and I always found remake to be an annoying card.
5 Remake


18 Apprentice I hate the art on junk dealer and the forced trashing drives me nuts.
7 Junk Dealer


14 Butcher What's even the point of forge? Draw an large amount of junk, trash it, and gain a...copper?
38 Forge
