Fan--$3 Action/Treasure/Victory/Ruins/Knight/Looter/Curse

When you play this, propose an unpublished card.

Each other player must immediately point out the ways in which it's too complicated or overpowered, except for the player on your right, who must show how it combos well with Scout and wouldn't work in an online implementation.

If you play (and trash) more than a couple pillars, the great hall will come crashing down.

There's no way you could fit that many types on the card, plus it just seems unnecessarily complicated.  Why make a special exception for the player to your right?  Also, how would it interact with cards that say "each other player gains a curse" or "each other player gains a ruins"?  Fan is a curse, but presumably that's not the card I'm supposed to gain when my opponent plays Witch.  Plus, there's no way you could get it to work in an online implementation.  I mean, how are we supposed to communicate the proposed cards and all problems with it online?

Why is it not also a reaction? How I am supposed to reflect attacks unto the attacker if I can't reveal it?

I'm pretty sure Samson trashes Philistines, and Delilah turns Samson into Blind Samson, who trashes Pillars, Philistines, and himself.

Samson didn't go blind. He temporarily lost his strength when Delilah cut his hair. That's how they were able to chain him to the pillars. He gained his strength back when he prayed after he was chained to the pillars.

Samson $? Action

After Delilah cut his hair, the Philistines gouged his eyes out.  You may as well give Delilah credit for it, because they weren't having any luck trying to do that before then.

Copyright $2

Trash this. Put a Copyright token on a supply pile.
When Band of Misfits is used to imitate a card whose supply pile has a Copyright token on it, that person gains a Curse.

Plagiarism
Action

See the joke here is that I'm blatantly copying the card idea above me, and making it obvious by changing the name of the card to 'Plagiarism'. But the card above's humour derives from a pun on the name of the card, therefore, this card makes no sense as a joke, thus forming an example of anti-humour, from which the humour is derived. However, this joke alone wasn't particularly funny, so I decided to add a description of the joke to make it funnier, and also a note to that note stating I appended the note to the original joke in order to make it funnier.

...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.

I think that giving credit kind of defeats the idea of plagiarizing.

Anyway,

Wondering Minstrel Action $4

+2 Actions

Name 3 cards in order. Reveal the top three cards of your deck. If you named the top three cards of your deck in order, +3 cards. Otherwise, trash this.

EDIT: You may not play Wondering Minstrel if Scout is in Play. (I had to nerf that obvious combo).

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.
