Necromancy
$2
Event
Trash a card from the supply. You may buy a card from the trash.
Actually, I could see a supply Trasher work fairly well as an Event.
Necromancy:
$1
Event
You may buy cards from the trash at $2 less than their normal cost (but no less that 0). During clean up, trash a card from the supply.
Are you intending this to give you the buys you need? Otherwise it does almost nothing if you can't get +buy.
I think it's comparable to Herald. Herald tells you to play an action card, and that doesn't cost you an action. This tells you to buy a card, so presumably that shouldn't cost you a buy. Though I guess it says "cards" plural, so you can buy as many as you want without spending buys?
Black Market is a better example, actually. Black Market tells you to buy a card, and that doesn't cost a buy.

There already is a card that's in Dominion that can't be in your deck. The Trash card.
I really like (Generous) Benefactor, but it has a timing issue. When exactly do other players receive the extra $?
I assume it triggers at the start of the players buy phase. Try for a rewording:
"While this is in play, at the start of any other players buy phase, if that player has no Gold, Platinum or attack card in play, he gets +$1"
Isn't the phrase "Generous Benefactor" redundant?
Highwayman -Action-Attack-Duration
After your turn, and until your next turn, all cards costmore.
At the start of your next turn: +
This seems like a plausible concept for a Duration-Attack
(Donald thought so too; it turned into Cutpurse.)
But he also mentioned that when he made Seaside, there was pressure to keep Durations to a minimum. That pressure has gone, so he may think it over. I admit that since Seaside a new concern against cost increasers has raised its head, though, and that concern is the similarity of such a card to Cutpurse.
And then what happens when they play Ghost Ship again next turn? And the next? And the next? I would argue that Ghost Ship is the most brutal handsize attack (yes, worse than Pillage) purely for its anti-cycling effect.
Getting Pillaged every turn is definitely a lot more brutal than getting Ghost Shipped every turn. There's a reason why the former costs a buy every turn and requires you to keep two extra junk cards in your deck and the latter helps you draw more cards instead.
Somehow I don't think gaining 2 Spoils was meant to be a penalty.
Worded differently: does TR force duration effects to be played together like it does when they are played as actions?Throne Room doesn't link those effects on future turns. You can resolve Merchant Ship, Prince, other Merchant Ship.
Wow this conversation about semantics sure is interesting let's keep it going instead of talking about the actual events ok guys
This sounds sarcastic, but you've +1'd most of the postshereon F.DS...
I'm guessing another Journey Token card will be the card that Draws 5 cards when Throned.It will be fun to see what other cards (or events?) use the Journey token and whether this affects the strength of Giant.
More than just affecting the strength of Giant, I think the existence of other cards that use the Journey token will really affect the complexity of Giant.
Given that if the token is the wrong way up this card is a 5-cost terminal copper, managing the token is going to be absolutely crucial to your success.
As it alludes to in the last paragraph of the preview, deciding which of two Journey token cards to use the strong side and which to use the weak side could become a very tricky decision.
This is assuming that other Journey token cards exist, but they must do or it would be called a Giant token, right?
I had assumed that was storyteller - certainly it won't always draw 5 cards when throned, but it easily could.
The points is that naming that card from some other game doesn't affect your ability to do anything.
If my opponent names the Develop card from RFTG, that doesn't stop me from buying the Dominion card develop either.
True.
I don't think this is true! I can't name the Develop on the bottom of the supply pile and still allow my opponent to buy the Develop from the top of the supply pile—cards with the same name are treated as equivalent for the purpose of "naming a card".
Hmm, I suppose you're right. Which kind of means that you really are just stating the name of a card, rather than selecting a specific card by naming it. This means that in a deck that has lots of Develops from Dominion AND lots of Develops from Race for the Galaxy, Wishing Well is even better!
But those Develops are a card type, not a card name.
I had assumed he was talking about the role selection cards. The card type is Development, not Develop.

Surely you can get them second hand?
I think the point is that future seasons won't exist on DVD. So second-hand copies are unlikely to be available either.
I think it's pretty clear that the thing you name must be a card, even if that card isn't part of the game. Since Expedition isn't a card, you can't name it.
Similarly, while you can name the Ace of Spades, or Black Lotus, or Caravanseray, or Chennai, or Power Plant #25, you cannot name the T Pentomino, or Tobacco Plantation, or Waterdeep Harbor, or Yahtzee, or N-34, none of which are cards.
I disagree. If Black Lotus is a card, then so is Expedition. Not the expedition from Dominion; that's not a card. But in the thousands of games with cards in them that exist, I'd be shocked if none of them have a card called "expedition". And if not, I'll write "expedition" on an index are right now, and now such a card exists.
If you name a card, you are naming the card itself. You are not "saying the name of a card." Otherwise it would tell you to "say the name of a card."

Everyone gets one Journey token. You can't gain multiple tokens.
An idea i had today: How about a Reserve that does something nice on play but can only be called back into your deck by buying a VP card? Not necessarily for any great effect besides having it back. Could be a sifter, for example:
Ranger, $4, Action - Reserve
+1 Card
+1 Action
Look at the top two cards of your deck. Put one in your hand. Discard the other one. Put this on your Tavern Mat.
---
When you buy a VP card, you may call this.
