Also, in a similar vein to an earlier riddle:

In Victory, I am a Prize,
As an Action, I am sometimes a Ruin, and sometimes a Curse in disguise,
And yet I am none of these.

Try to fake me, you cannot break me,
Try to make me, you cannot take me,
But dig deep, and I will give you less than what I am.


I'll also say bag of gold. it's a prize when you win the game, it's a ruin (+1 action) nothing if you draw it dead. it's not really any of these because it gains you gold. You can't take it and whatnot, because it's not in the supply. You gain less than what it is, because it's a bag full of gold, and you can just get a few golds with it

Tribute?

If it hits Victory and Action, it's +2 cards +2 actions which could be as good as Trusty Steed, which is a Prize. When you play it as an Action, sometimes it hits two Curses and it's basically a Survivors for your opponent, and sometimes, your opponent has an empty deck and it does nothing.

Another word for festival is fair.
The card lets the player choose replacements for the revealed card thus an interpretation of the revelations.

>_<

That pun is a bit of a stretch.  Festival is a synonym of a homonym of fair.

Two fairly big hints:
Hint 1: What kind of card is none of those types?
Hint 2: How can you fake or make something, especially a particular type of thing?

It technically costs 0 so can be swindled into ruins or curses, it isn't an action, ruin, curse, victory or prize, but can be thought of as a prize in being a reward.

Doesn't get trashed by counterfeit, can't be gained by normal means and is limited it the number of times you can use it

I'd respond to this, but I'm too tired from that long roundabout path I had to take to follow that connection :P

Diplomat=ambassador, the ruler of estate is Baron, this interacts poorly with both.

Correct answer, and mostly correct reasoning on interpreting the second half. Specifically, Counterfeit doesn't trash it, Mint doesn't gain it, and Mine gives you either Copper or Silver, both of which give less coins.

As for the first half, it's all terrible word play. Spoils are a prize for the victor in a war, if food spoils it's ruined, if someone spoils a child too much it often turns out worse for them in the long run, thus being a curse for the child (both of the last two being uses of the word "spoils" as a verb, i.e. an action word).

And here's another:

While many are ten we ten are one,
Though nine are three I alone am four.


And one more, for good measure:

Do nothing, I am like a great expanse of land.
Do something, I am like a glistening coin.
Do everything, I am like the foulest of words.

No, I think it's Fool's Gold,

Many are ten = most kingdom cards have 10 copies
We ten are one = On their own, they're worth $1
Nine are three = 3 Fool's Golds played gives $9
I alone am four = the second (and later) Fool's Gold gives $4

I don't think heron is right.

edit:  I wonder if it is Sir Martin and ConMan meant to say "Though nine are five".
