Not even +1 Action? No coins? What if it comes up without a village? Just remember it's basically competing against gold, and sometimes province.

yea there is zero hope for the card as it is. hunting grounds provides a +3 card hand, your card will provide +5, but it's more expensive and it trashes itself, which is huge. if you use it and then buy a province, you basically used a turn to upgread a 7$ card into an 8$ card, and it's unusable for an engine, because it's a one shot.

if you want to make the concept work, you could just make it +8 or something instead of +6. dunno if that's good, but it's better than this version

How about:

Pilgrimage
Action [$7]
+5 cards
When you trash this, gain a Province or 2 duchies.

Too strong? Probably. Something more along this line could work though.

isn't that just hunting grounds 2.0? doesn't seem exciting to me. and yea it's too strong, you can upgread it into 2 provinces

stronger variants of existing cards work fine for $3-4 into $4-5, but I'm less convinced of the idea for 6$ to 7$.

I think Pilgrimmage just needs built in +buy.  In that form it could be good in BM vs. Engine games where it is important to keep the Provinces draining instead of settling for Duchies (or a Gold you'd only play once or twice)

I guess it makes more sense as-is if we are supposed to consider it a Prosperity card, like the other 7's, which would mean it tends to bring Plats and Colonies in.  Bank is a little bit awkward without +buy if it's not a prosperity card too.
