Hmmm, I'm having a hard time figuring out a best case for this.  By the time it's actually good, you already have an engine as it is.

Maybe with Native Village or Tactician.  With Tactician, either the same turn or afterward - I would think that you could "cheat" the Tactician by keeping most of your Action cards in Revealed Cards Land, only to play them anyway.  You could play Tactician every turn with this card.  That's probably the best combo you'll get.

Or if you had a Landmark that let you draw 10 cards instead of 5 each turn.  Or Haunted Woods or Hireling.  Basically you have to get a big hand without running out of Actions, but you don't want to already have Villages on the board, because that would be easier already...  Nobles would benefit somewhat too.

Frat Party
Action
Cost: $7

Reveal cards from the top of your deck, putting them into your hand when they are not Actions, and playing them as you draw them when they are Actions.  Stop when you have played three or more Actions.  If you have 12 or more cards in hand, trash your hand.

Drink!  Drink!  Drink! Hahahaha, this dude's a lightweight!  Gross!

Multi-split pile idea:

Isotropic
$0 Action
Gain a Province. If you do, gain a Goko Beta.

Goko Beta
$1 Action
If you gain this, trash all Isotropics from every player's deck, including their hands. Put all VP back into the supply piles. Cry.

Goko
$2 Action
Trash all Dark Ages cards, including from the Supply piles. You do not get any bonuses from on-trash effects. The game cannot end.

Goko Salvager
$3 Action
You may gain an Action card from the Trash. If you do, play it.

Making Fun

$4 Action
Return all VP back into the supply pile. Gain an Estate.

Donald's Had Enough
$5 Event
Trash a card from your hand. If you do, remove this Event from the game.

ShuffleIt

$6 Action-Duration
Trash all Treasures in your deck. Gain a Province. Gain an Isotropic. When you play an Isotropic, you do not gain a Goko Beta. (This stays in play for the remainder of the game.)

$6? More like $3 for every turn this is in play!

As per Crown, this should distinguish by game phase, not card type. Action-Treasure is always both types.

It shouldn't.  You can play this card whenever you could play one of the two card types, and if necessary, you choose which role it plays when you play it (I don't know of any cards that let you play an Action OR a treasure at a given time, but it could be done maybe).  If you pay Storyteller, you can only play this card as a Treasure.  You're not allowed to play it as an Action to pay Storyteller, and you haven't played a second Action for the purposes of Conspirator, but it is an Action card that is in play as well as a Treasure card that it is play.  What it does is linked to the mechanism used for playing it, not what turn it is.

If the rule for Crown is that it plays as a Throne Room when used to pay Storyteller, then I think that's goofy and counterintuitive.

I'll never conform to Donald's Action-Treasure convention in the RBCI thread.
