I came up with a card im happier with.
I present: Appraiser

VERSION 4:

Appraiser
$4 Action

+2 Cards
Discard a card. Look through your discard pile; You may play a Treasure from it.
-
In games using this, Silver is also an Action that gives +2 Actions.

Edit notes:
Made appraiser cost $4 as its worse then lab. Made it able to play treasures in your discard pile, meaning its sorta like a smithy in card draw now. Thus removed the +2 Cards option on silver, cause playing a silver that way with appraiser without having to draw the silver is essentially a hunting grounds, which is nuts for $5, let alone $4. And thats not talking about the fact that you get money from the silver!!
Removing the +2 Cards option makes silver now a necropolis + silver. it simplifies the card and removes uninteresting decision points. And it made it so i can just remove the "If it's your action phase" part, saving a lot of space on Appraiser. which is needed when it allready has text on the top.

Hopefully silvers still feels like Silvers here. Im not a fan of removing the money part on silvers, it's part of its identity

Edit round 2:
Tightened up wording. Made it match charlatans text more. Removed the "play from hand" part, and now it is just playing from the discard pile, but you discard a card first.

FAQ:
If you discard a tunnel with Appraiser, you gain the gold first and is thus able to play it with appraiser.
If you also get conclave on the kingdom, you should just replace it with another card. sorry!!

IMO this version 4 is far too strong at $4:

Whenever you have a Silver in your discard, Appraiser can be played as a Grand Market (minus the buy) plus a Fugitive, that's $7+ territory.

When you have a Silver in hand instead, it's still effectively a Lab if you discard and play the Silver (since you save an Action by playing Silver with Appraiser).

And since Silver is very strong (close to Festival) in Appraiser games,  you will usually have several Silvers in your deck anyway.

I have thought about that: but im unsure how it is at £5 cost.
I could make it cost 5£, +3 cards, discard two. It would match forum then.

All draw is stronger with appraiser on the board, so im unsure about making that change

I would just try it at $5 without another boost. Playing a card from the discard implicitly gives you an extra +1 card, so Appraiser is already much stronger than Forum whenever you have a Silver in the discard pile.

The more Silver you have, the more they are willing to do for you.
(I wan't able to get the card to downsize, so any tip on how to do that would be appreciated. First post here^^)

in the "Img" part, write "img width=350"
but with the [ ] instead of " "

Tyvm^^

EDIT: had to edit a busted interaction with feodum.

Twin Village - Action +2 Actions You may discard two cards or a Silver for +2 Cards. When you gain this, gain a Twin Village (that doesn't come with another).

A card I once designed to have (or reference) as many 2's on a card as possible. Like Port, it's a stack of 12 cards. It's great if a sifting village is what you need, but it's handsize-negative unless you have Silver to discard.

I'm making some assumptions about the scenario here such as this happening when its not your turn, which you weren't specific about.

That's not relevant though, you can't do it on your own turn either for exactly the same reason.

Striker feels a bit unrelated to Tongs. And honestly all the effects feel unrelated. Also Striker is a one-shot so it might be too weak. If Tongs provided a way to get a Striker repeatedly it would be fine, but as it is it feels like Tongs would be a better card without the Worker.

Tongs $2+ Treasure
Put up to 3 cards from your discard pile into your hand. Put that many cards from your hand onto your deck.
You may trash a card from your hand for +$1.
-
Overpay: Per $2 overpaid, take a Striker.

Striker $2* Worker
+3 Cards
Reveal your hand and put each revealed Victory card onto your deck in any order.
(This is not in the Supply.)

Strikers are DoubleLab, how nice! Oh, wait, you do need to make sure there's no Victory cards in your hand after, otherwise you have to Bureaucrat all of them.

Tongs are effective at grabbing things from your discard pile and putting them into your hand and onto your deck. Doesn't increase handsize but does give some control and weak trashing on the cheap. Overpay on Tongs to get some Big Ol Horses that really like Tongs
