That was intentional. The thread is too much about mildly entertaining card name puns and too little about actual bad card ideas. Especially the "Ruined Xyz" jokes make me feel this thread should be split up. Whenever i come here hoping to see cards with a hidden design flaw, all i see are things like "Jack of all Trading Posts", "Contrafeit" or "Count House". Not that i mind others enjoying that kind of joke, but the thread is swamped with them. And yes, i realize i'm guilty myself.

The sort of thread you're discussing actually already exists here (amusingly, the second post in that thread proposes merging it into this one, and the response to that post basically discusses the difference between parody cards and RBCIs, making much the same point as you).

I'm guessing you're wanting something more like this:
Friar
$3 - Action - Reserve
Put this on your Tavern mat.
-------------------------------------------------------
When you play a card, you may call this, to name a card.  Each time a card with that name is discarded during Clean-up, you may trash it.

Consider the implications with Caravan Guard.

Do you intend to move a token around, or do you intend to just amass a huge list of cards that you want to kill?  And does this mean that players now have to reveal their hands as they discard in the clean up phase?

Magister is a cheaper Chancellor?
White Market isn't that bad.

[popsofctown]

Magister is functionally different from Chancellor because you get to look through your discard pile and ascertain your own deck state even if you've forgotten.  Chancellor doesn't let you do that.

I'm stating that as an observation, not that it was some sort of intent or purpose to the card.

[Asper]

White Market isn't that bad.

White Market is strictly worse than Woodcutter since the introduction of Events.

White Market is strictly worse than Woodcutter since the introduction of Events.

Edge case: Storyteller

[Deadlock39]

White Market isn't that bad.

White Market is strictly worse than Woodcutter since the introduction of Events.

Except it's not because you get to buy a card during your action phase and potentially use it that turn, which can be way better than a buy. 

If you have your +1 action, +1 coin, and +1 card token on White Market, two in your hand and an empty deck, you can drain the pile all Rats/Fortress-like.

[Marcory]

Plus it lets you play your treasures during your hand, which is great for Draw-to-X cards, Poor House, Tactician, Minion, maybe Storyteller, etc.

It's actually almost strictly superior to Woodcutter (edge case--you plan on drawing more treasures during your turn, and need to play White Market now for some reason, such as Golem).

[Minotaur]

White Market should probably be worded exactly like Black Market (except without the stuff about the Black Market deck of course).  It's still a RBCI because of possible weird combos, but I'd be in favor of a buff letting you play treasures anyway.
