What happens when you play army of misfits as army of misfits?

You can play it as any Action card that exists in Dominion that you choose.

I was going to say "the same thing that happens when you reveal Trader when you would gain a Silver"

It acts as a Blue Dog while it's in play?

These are not RBCIs by any stretch.  A few might be slightly game-breaking or unstable power-wise, but all of them are at least interesting and communicate themes very well.  I bet you'd have gotten more upvotes if this were broken up a bit, because textwalls scare people...  Anyway, I encourage people to give it a read.  There's even a Pearl Diver synergy in there (though it's still questionable whether you'd want Pearl Diver even then...).

I agree with Minotaur (why is there no minotaur card here? -if I were him, I'd be insulted). These don't belong in the bad ideas thread.

[Minotaur]

I had some monster-themed cards a while ago, but most of them needed more work.  Only a couple were close to where they needed to be, quality-wise.

Eh, I just haven't tested them, have no intent to do so (since they aren't particularly unique), and probably have some awful ideas in there.
I think Kobold is probably a really bad idea.
Brownie is a non-terminal Journey token reset which is probably a bad idea considering how ludicrous the triggered effects on all the other Journey token cards are.
All the interwoven swing of Lich, especially in multiplayer would probably make it totally unfun.
Nymph, Dragon, and Succubus all take cards directly from players and at least two of them would probably single-handedly make games miserable.
Banshee makes for an annoying floodgate of postponed Curses and probably favors a 5\2 split way too much.
Gnome takes a lot of words, has some pretty complicated interactions with costs, and varies too much in power on how easy virtual coins are to come by.
The others are possibly okay. Imp probably compares too poorly to Gear, even with its infinite looping. As a set there are too many Attacks and only 2 non-terminal cards with 1 splitter, so that would need fixing.

[Co0kieL0rd]

Fragasnap, I agree with the other guys there are some good ideas, or at least not bad enough to belong here. Reading these wasn't particularly fun, either, so I stopped, sorry. Just a remark on Leprechaun because it seems to me that you ridiculously nerfed the card without even noticing it's totally unnecessary.

Leprechaun
Types: Action
Cost: $4
Trash this. Gain a Gold. Each other player may place his +$1 token on an Action Supply pile.

"Trash this. Gain a Gold." would already be fine at $4. Do you realise how huge it is to be able to place your +$1 token on a pile for free? With this nerf, Leprechaun is so bad it should cost $1 and even then, I would probably never buy it. Or am I totally mistaken here??

Here's something fun and stupid:

Reverse Mandarin, $5, Action
Deck your of top on hand your from card a put. 3$+Order any in deck your of top on play in have you Treasures all put, this gain you when.

Reverse Village, $3, Action

Card 1+

Yoda
Cost: $6

You may play a card from your hand, performing each sentence in reverse order.

If any terms are undefined, you may choose a word, player, or card which would otherwise make sense (e.g., Mine says "gain a Treasure card costing up to $3 more {than whatever you want to go here}" is amazingly open-ended).  Hanging "otherwise" statements can be resolved as the player chooses (e.g., Explorer can gain no cards, or it can gain a Silver and a Gold in hand, and then you may reveal a Province if you'd like).  An "it" following a sentence with more than one thing is also your choice (e.g., Bishop allows other players to trash, and then you may pick the most expensive of those and gain VP from it).  Saboteur's "he trashes that card" can refer to any card in that player's hand or deck, but you do not get to look at them first.

(Some other stuff too, this is basically going to have a 30-page rule book entry.)

[Minotaur]

lolol Procession... Gain an Action card (costing exactly $1 more than whatever) and then trash it, and then Throne Room something in your hand.  At least Watchtower can save the gained card... Otherwise, it's just a Throne Room that burns piles.

[Awaclus]

Saboteur's "he trashes that card" can refer to any card in that player's hand or deck, but you do not get to look at them first.

What about Possession's "Any cards he would gain on that turn, you gain instead; any cards of his that are trashed are set aside and returned to his discard pile at end of turn"?

[Minotaur]

I think you can pick any future turn belonging to any player in the game.  The semicolon I would interpret as keeping this pair together as is.

And of course, the line after it says that the player takes a turn after this one, and you make their decisions, which could include Chapeling 4 Provinces, but so it goes.  If you wanted to play it as a forced trashing attack, then you would have to choose in "line one" a different turn, perhaps for the same player, or perhaps not.  EDIT: The card doesn't know about the extra turn yet, so you can't choose to affect that turn.  You necessarily have the choice-stealing on the extra turn, and the card-stealing and trash-stopping on a totally different later turn.

[Minotaur]

Basically, you can trash their deck if they own trashers, but they get to buy you the Curse and Scout piles on their real turn, unless you choose to steal their gains for Turn 9001.

I don't think I want to be making rulings on this for the next 5 pages.  I would gain a Silver...

[Minotaur]

Band of Scouts
Cost: $4

+1 Action
Reveal cards from the top of your deck until you reveal 4 cards which are not Victory cards.  Put the Victory cards in your hand, and put the rest back on your deck in any order.

[Ghacob]

Band of Bands
Action $6
Play this as if it was a Band variant of your choice that costs less than it that you choose. This is that card until it leaves play.

[Minotaur]

Band of Misfit Toys
Cost: $3

If there are no action cards in the trash, +1 VP.  Otherwise, play this card as if it were a copy of an Action card in the trash.  It is that card until it leaves play.

[Minotaur]

Illusionist
Action-Reserve
Cost: $3

+$1
Put this on your Tavern mat.

------------------------------

You may Call this card at any time during any player's turn.  When you do, place any number of cards from your hand on top of your deck and gain an equal number of cards, setting them aside face up.  For the rest of this turn, you may "reveal" a face-up set aside card as if it were in your hand, and you may "trash" or "discard" a face-up set aside card by turning it face down.  At the end of this turn, return the set aside cards to the supply and draw an equal number of cards.

At the start of your next turn, +$1.

EDIT:  Ok, so I have to somehow stop this from gaining 5 Caravan Guards and drawing 5 extra cards when someone else plays an attack.  Hmmm...

[belugawhale]

Reverse! - Event $6

At the end of your turn, play order goes in the opposite direction.


This event would take up a large space in the rulebook about Possession, Masquerade, Outpost, etc.

[liopoil]

I can't think of a scenario where that would be useful aside from very contrived edge cases where the benefit is very small... yet it costs 6.

[Minotaur]

Reverse is a bit more reliable here than in Uno.  You could play very political with it...
