Mounte Hall
Action-Victory - $8
Worth 1 VP
+1 Card
+1 Action
+$2
Each other player may discard a Curse.  If they do not, they gain a Copper and a Curse.
----
Take a Curse and two Mounte Halls from the supply and place them face down in front of you.  The player to your left chooses one of them.  Then, reveal one of the Mounte Halls.  The player to your left may change their choice; you then gain the chosen card.

Apparently, when he reshuffled, the player next to the Curse pile picked up his "discard" pile which was the last nine Curses; that's why the Curses ran out so quickly. 
My brother once almost shuffled the trash pile (full of Coppers and Curses) into his deck.  He caught himself quickly enough to sort it back out though.

It sounds like the sort of thing a really bad fan card would do.

Misclick
Action, $2
Put the Curse pile into your discard pile. If the curses are empty, top deck the trash.

(Edited to incorporate Peebs' suggestions)


Sir Bedevere--$4
Action-Attack-Reaction-Knight

Each other player reveals the top 2 cards of his deck, trashes one of them costing from $3 to $6, and discards the rest. If a Knight is trashed by this, trash this card.
--
When another player plays a Witch, you may reveal this from your hand. If you do, measure that player's weight against the weight of a duck. If they weigh the same, you are unaffected by the attack, that player trashes the Witch, then you may burn that player at the stake.

***

Sir Robin--$3
Action-Attack-Reaction-Knight

Each other player reveals the top 2 cards of his deck, trashes one of them costing from $1 to $3, and discards the rest. If a Knight is trashed by this, trash this card.
--
If Sir Robin is revealed for any reason, discard it immediately.

***

Sir Not-Appearing-in-this-Film--$5*
Action-Attack-Knight

Each other player reveals the top 2 cards of his deck, trashes one of them costing from $3 to $6, and discards the rest. If a Knight is trashed by this, trash this card.

(This is not in the Supply.)

You still get the Curse though, right?  Also, you should probably say that they trash the Witch.

Would +1 more than once if i could.

I don't know if it's intended, but i'd argue that if Sir Robin was to be revealed by another Knight, you could choose to trash him and as he is discarded immediately, he would be save because of the lose-track rule. (Edit: He runs away).

"When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin"

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a
pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken;
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin.

His head smashed in, and his heart cut out,
And his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged,
And his nostrils raped, and his bottom burned off,
And his penis split ... and his ...

Sir Lancelot - Action - Attack - Knight $5

Each other player reveals the top 2 cards of his deck, trashes one of them costing from $3 to $6, and discards the rest. If a Knight is trashed by this, trash this card. If any blue cards were revealed by this, set Sir Lancelot aside and rejoice that your favorite colour is blue and return this card to your deck at the end of the game.

Does it matter?

Yes if the trash has at least 6 cards in it, then the order you put the cards onto deck would lead to different cards next turn. Presumably, you would put the top card of the trash on deck, then the next top card of the trash etc...

Yet another reminder that there are very young people on this forum, and that the movie is still older than some of us in the median age range.  Monty Python and the Holy Grail was released in 1975.  Forty years.

I'm not one of the young ones, though.  Granted, I hadn't yet been born when it was released, but I'm old enough for it to have been a thing.

I've just literally never seen a Monty Python movie.  It's like when people say they've never seen Star Wars (4-6).

"$3 sir!"

He's calling the Knights to his Round Table.
