Here's my submission, a version of a Secret History idea.

Now and at the start of your next turn, you may play an Action card from your hand twice.

Challenge #90: Steal ideas!
For this challenge, you have to use a fan made mechanic that you haven't made up yourself. You could find a mechanic on this forum to use, but in case you don't want to have to find one, I have three examples here for you:
Neirai the Forgiven's "Shuffle into" mechanic
Asper's Edicts
Supernova888's Tools
If you use a mechanic not included here, please include a link to where you got it from.
Judging criteria:
How balanced the card is.
How well the card uses the mechanic.
How well it adresses the potential flaws of the mechanic.
Creativity (How ironic.)
And lastly, it has to be fun to play with!

Quote
Makes other piles like the Knights or Ruins piles, by shuffling another card into them. Both the cards that use this mechanic are shuffled into other piles and are gained when uncovered.
Asper's Edicts
Sideways cards that introduce straight-up rules changes. These predate Projects, by the way.
Supernova888's Tools
Tools have different backs to regular cards. At the start of your turn, or directly after playing a card, you must play any Tools from your hand. This does not cost an Action; if you have multiple tools in your hand, you may play them in any order. Tools are regular Kingdom cards that exist in the Supply like any other card. Tools are their own type of card.

« on: October 02, 2020, 06:16:01 am »
Connoisseur has the problem that DXV already has mentioned. If you get a few of these you may not need to buy anymore cards, so the debt doesn't matter. Maybe make it only be able to Expand if you started the turn w/o debt.

Nice stuff! Pretty exotic expansion overall.

So with Monarch you could make Province ungainable? Seems quite broken. Otherwise nice cards, but I still think that Specialty Shop can have a text without the weird, look-in-the-rulebook blue orbs.

You could fix this by adding "excactly" before "that many".
I don’t think that any player can be locked out. As soon as they have less than 5 cards, they are not affected anymore.I missed the "with 5 or more cards in hand" clause. Ignore what I said!

« on: September 30, 2020, 09:32:02 am »It's the opposite of a sifter, it lets you skip good cards to find your bad cards.Depends on what deck you're building, and the presence of splitters.

Dominion General Discussion / Is Library a sifter?
« on: September 30, 2020, 04:39:43 am »
I just read the wiki on sifters and I realized that Library isn't included in the cards list. I absolutely think that it is a sifter, letting you skip dead Action cards when drawing. So why isn't it included?

I think that Wolf maybe would be more balanced if the trashed cards have to be different, like with Temple. That makes it harder to use. Also, as worded right now you could lock out the other players if you play five of these in one turn.

Here's my card: a $6 Attack Duration Lab variant with a State.
Edit: Fixed obvious problems with the wording on Exploited.
Quote
Exploiter
$6 - Action-Attack-Duration
+1 Action
Each other player without exploited takes it. Now and at the start of your next turn: if this is your only card in play, +2 Cards. Otherwise, +1 Card.

Exploited
State
When you play an Action card, if you have at least one other copy of it in play, discard a card. At the end of your turn, return this.

cost $4 - Action
+$1 per a differently named card you have in play.
If this is the first Cornucopia you played in this turn, +3 Actions.
There's a slight wording difference from Crossroads which has the same ability:
"If this is the first time you played a Crossroads this turn, +3 Actions."
Pretty sure there are no situations where they act differently.

A single Princess would make province an Action card, with the old version. If you then played Quarry, its cost reduction would affect Province even if you Bonfired your Princess! Weird stuff.

I don't think that the Dragon attack shouldn't be thronable. If you KC it you leave others with a hand of two coppers or something similar. I also think that three spoils is too much.
