Bad card, curtesy of Inheritance:
Band of Estates, Confusion

Not actually bad, still silly:
Estatinum, Jack of all Estates, Estrader, Jestater

Edit: Missed that it specifies "Action card".

Jestater somehow made me wonder if Larry the Cable Guy plays has ever seen Dominion.

I think now that every Action can be Event-ified, the RBCI floodgates are sort of open.  Most of them won't be that funny, though.  Explore, Moneylend.

How about Chancel?  Or... Count (v.), or Forge(v.)?  Expand should probably be renamed to Expansion, so we can make Expand an Event.

Actually, cancel this entire comment.  Events aren't cards, and do not belong in RBCI.

So start the Really Bad Event Idea thread.

I don't actually like RBEIs.  I just like being pedantic sometimes.  Par for the course...

[Gherald]

Actually, Events are cards you can add to the game. They just don't give you something to buy that is a card, so when you buy them you're not buying a card.

Emphasis mine:

Event cards give you something to buy; that thing is not a card. There will be a rulebook and it will say stuff just like this.

Fixed that so it triggers itself.

Edit: Well I guess it already does because of Oxford comma.

Time for a card idea that really is just a bad idea, not a joke:

$7
Action
Double your coin tokens. Take a coin token.

Double your coin tokens. Take a coin token.

But if you reversed the order to take a coin token before doubling would that have an impact on the card's power-level or a huge impact on the card's power-level?
I'm prepared to post multiple walls of text in support of whatever the opposite of your answer is.

Depends on the board.

Well, it's completely broken either way, but it does make a significant difference. For example, the 5th time you play that card, assuming there are no other coin token producers, the current version gets you 16 tokens while the coin-token-before-doubling version gets you 24 tokens.

[enfynet]

Maybe it needs a "trash this if you have more than X tokens"?

Ace Up Your Sleeve Treasure $5

Merge - Action $8

Trash an action card from your hand (or reveal a hand with no action cards in it).  If you did, this card now has the text of that card appended to the end of it, and gains all types of that card.

That's almost canon already.  The game is going in that direction.  Only you have to let your Estates do it.

Dominion: Three Pile Ending.

[iguanaiguana]

The Robber-event-cost 7. When you buy this, move the robber token to a supply pile of your choice. When the robber token is on a supply pile, cards in that pile cannot be played. Each other player may discard a copy of the card the robber token is on. If they don't, they trash a random card from their hand that you point at and you may gain any of these trashed cards.
