Inspired by a tangent in the Interview with Donald X. thread:

Student Loan $1 Action-Duration
Gain a University from the University pile.
---
Remains in play forever. At the start of the Buy phase each turn this is in play, if you have at least $5, -1$.

Setup: If University is not in the Supply, add an extra University pile which is not in the Supply.

At the end of the game, remove all treasures from your deck and return them to the supply before counting your victory points.

So I only lose money if I get at least $5 from my action cards, not including treasures?

So there I am, teaching Dominion to my seven year old sister, when she suggests this card.

Elements of Harmony
Action
$900
Trash all copies of victory cards of each other player. For each player, for each card, that player gains a curse.
Gain all remaining Provinces.

If you're in action/buy/coin debt for too long though, the player to your left may break one of your fingers

I kind of don't think they're really bad.  They just don't play well thematically with vanilla Dominion cards...

Engines and Combos are fun
Victory - $7
5 VPs
---
In games using this, at the start of your buy phase, gain an action costing up to $5, putting it on the bottom of your deck.

Because screw Big Money, why not have a card that accelerates you to the fun part of the game, lets you put your engine and combo together at rapid pace, and provides a bunch of extra expensive VPs to make sure a money - Province based strategy really can't keep up?

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.
