So, running with the idea that Donald makes a small and a big expansion every year, and next year will be the last two, I decided to guess what the themes of them would be. I decided the small one should have more Potions cards, because it feels like there's not really enough Potions cards introduced in Alchemy to justify the existence of the new resource, and the big one should have a theme of Industry, because I'd love to see an Industrial Revolution/Steampunk-y thing in the Dominion Universe. Here goes - tell me if I've got some good ideas, or if I'm just plain stupid!
Bear in mind I haven't really filled out Industry - I figured I'd put these in front of you now rather than just making up a bunch of junk cards. These have also NOT been playtested - I don't have enough blank cards (or friends who play Dominion) to make that really feasible.
