My mistake. As it stands it is of course fine, being momost similar to Advisor (you net draw 1 but only get to keep the bad stuff ).
ok - then I send this:Dude, X-tra explicitly said that he considers only VP token gaining as a vanilla effect, not static VP values.
play tested several times
No, I do play with non-official cards.Seems, that you only play Donald's cards. You like judging without playing - ok.So I am a fool but I play and have fun.So do we all, that's a trivial commonplace.
I had fun in my first Dominion games with Thief and Spy and even thought that the combo was great.
Doesn't mean though that the two cards did not deserve to land in the bin.
So I am a fool but I play and have fun.So do we all, that's a trivial commonplace.
My experience is that treasures which draw are frustrating because you draw action cards you can't play.That is why Ikon has a self-gaining mechanism similar to that of Magpie. But unlike Magpie, the self-gaining increases the strength of the card as the Treasure density of your deck rises.
We talk about cards here all the time without ever having played with them. That is the whole reason to post cards here, to get feedback.sorry: no testing - no judging (no personal attack from my side )hm - please test principality and countySorry, but there are so many fan cards here that I don't see the appeal of playing with a card which looks bad in theory to me. If you could explain to me the ideas behind your design, and why you chose P cost for vanilla green, I am all ears though.

Just read the part that you did not bold: more expensive than Vinyard while giving less VPs than Vineyard does (on average). Naturally I assume that you did playtest them against, or did at least compare them with, the only official green card with P costs.I seriously doubt that you tested these cards extensively given that they are more expensive than Vineyard yet don’t yields (that much) more VPs (if you mainly play 3P and 4P Vineyard is of course weaker).How do you get this guess?
Hovel is the only one that changed. Originally it was an action you could trash by discarding your hand. It turned out that trashing it turn 1-2 usually seemed like the correct play, even if you drew it with four Coppers. So that was no good.http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=4318.0

Create a card that has exactly 2 vanilla effects.
... and what about + ?

The point is that you need a non-zero amount of blue stuff in order to do anything on Shop.Either way, nothing stops a player who has never played a Specialty Shop from buying an Overlord from the Shop mat.The rules of Shop do:
These 3 Kingdom piles can only be gained by being bought with .
The wording is not perfect but it is pretty obvious, and X-tra explicitly said so, that you need a Specialty Shop in play in order to be able to Buys stuff from Shop.
A rule like e.g. "you cannot buy cards from the Shop unless you have produced this turn" might make the whole Debt interaction thingy more clear.
His own example showed that you can still buy Overlord. That doesn't make sense because you don't use spheres to buy Overlord.
Either way, nothing stops a player who has never played a Specialty Shop from buying an Overlord from the Shop mat.The rules of Shop do:
Cards with a in their cost… it’s touchy. I would be tempted to say that you need a Potion in play to buy these, but that would go against the statement saying that these cards “[…] can only be bought with ”. Maybe another wording could be employed to tackle this issue. Or maybe a simple note in the FAQ could explain that unusual situation. But as it is, I’m just going to rule that you can buy such cards with a Potion in play. Yeah.It is the most natural solution. The only other option is to not use cards with Potion costs for the Shop.
