Gain a card costing up to $4.

While this is in play, cards that share a type with the gained card cost $2 less.
It's "While this in play", so it's not too strong with TR variants.
(sharp eyed readers may notice its v0.2; the unposted v0.1 had only a $1 reduction and cost $4, but it felt much more interesting to have a $2 reduction, since the buy type was restricted.)If you throne this, which card's types are being reduced?
The intent is of all types of any gained card (but only once per type) - would better working be "any of the cards gained this way" or something like that be better. (I also guess I need to figure out if it affects things gain a (cost reduced) Border Village, and with it's on gain a Silver. Any thoughts?I don't think this works. The restriction isn't much of a restriction as you only want to gain Actions in the early-mid game anyways, and only Victory cards on your megaturn. It's way, way stronger than Inventor, and the $1 cost increase isn't enough to justify this.
Inventor is a good card to compare to - thanks! I do think the restriction could matter, though, no? Early on you may not want two actions, but a Silver and an Action? (and can't) or when it comes to Victory cards, with Inventor the gained card doesn't have to be a stop card. I mean I get when it's very late and buying one of the last Provinces, but what about Provinces 1-6?
Sure for a megaturn where you use a couple of these to buy multiple (>2)? Is that super common? (I might just not be at a level where it is for me)
What about the opposite: "cards that doesn't share a type". That will be weaker than inventor and will encourage things like action/silver or duchy
