Pearl
Treasure
Cost: $4

$2
When you shuffle your deck, place this on the bottom of your deck.

It took me a looong time to find it, but here it comes!
Directly from the wilderness of the meme thread:


I think that I'd prefer 'Stache's format for Pearl.

Seems kind of OP.  Knowing where it is kind of offsets it being on the bottom and missing shuffles.  Three of these is a province every shuffle.

But Pearl could stand some playtesting throughout the $2-$4 range.

You may play an Action card from your hand twice.
You may trash this to play the played card twice more.

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.

Three of these are a Province every shuffle if you are very good at managing your deck. Otherwise, they will be a Province every second shuffle or even not a Province at all if they end up split between two hands.
Compare with Stash, where you need one more to guarantee 1 Province/Shuffle, but then you don't need to worry about doing exact reshuffles.
And Fourstashes is a pretty bad strategy, and I don't expect Threestaches to be much better.
Stache is good when you draw your deck, or when you are desperate for economy.

This is indeed a terrible card, because it has no provision for what to do if you're shuffling and shaving at the same time. Also, if you merely trim your 'Stache, rather than shaving it off, then this becomes a cheap Gold.

Phoenix Reaction,
If the game ends and it's not your turn, you may reveal this from your hand to take an extra turn.
You may not take any additional turns after that one.

This might actually be a cool reaction on a card. Though it might stop people from ending the game because they fear another player might catch up on their extra turn.

1. Buy Band of Overlords.
2. Play as 10 Ironworkses, 10 Workshops, 10 Woodcutters.
3. 3-pile.

Not to mention that "this is those cards" is uh problematic at least.
