Here's some really bad card ideas:

Witch's idea: "I'll cross the street without looking both ways."

Chapel's idea: "I'll leap without looking."

Remodel's idea: "I'll count my chickens before they hatch."

Laboratory's idea: "I'll put all my eggs in one basket."

Village's idea: "I'll get involved in a land war in Asia."

Smithy's idea: "I'll go in against the Sicilian when death is on the line"

Buy A Round
Night
Cost: $4

Choose a Reserve card in play and put it on your Tavern mat.
Heirloom: Introvert


Introvert
Heirloom/Reserve/Action
Cost: $2

....
--------------------
You may Call this at the start of your turn.  If you do, +1 VP.


Secret History:  So Buy A Round sort of sucks if there aren't any Reserve cards.  Having it gain a card from its own Spoils-like pile didn't feel right, and then I was like, "oh right, heirlooms!  That's a thing right?"  Anyway, this card will probably never be play-tested because it's RBCI, but there you have it.  Buy A Round/Introvert.

Night Knight
Action - Attack - Knight - Night - $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.

I really like the Action - Night dual type. There doesn't seem to be much of a trade-off here—mandatory edge case: action-phase deck inspection, especially Scrying Pool that you're not happy deferring—but perhaps something like this:

Moonlighting
Action – Night – $3
+$2
If you've gained a card this turn, gain a card costing up to $4.

The general kind of trade-off would be between some benefit that's not useful after the (last*) Buy phase if you play it in your Action phase, versus non-terminality if played in the Night phase and/or perhaps some special benefit. (* thanks, Villa).

Here's another one:

Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde
Action – Night – $5?
If it's your action phase, +3 cards.
If it's your night phase, each other player discards down to 3 cards.

Reading Rainbow
Global State  (applies to all players)

Setup:  Make a Supply pile of Events, Boons, and Landmarks, which in this game are cards.  Boons and Landmarks cost $5.  Events and Boons are Action cards which do their Event when played.  When you play a Boon, +1 Card and +1 Action.  Whenever you would receive a Boon, gain it instead.  Landmarks are worth 3VP, are void of tokens, and their other effects only apply to you or your opponents, your choice at the end of the game.

Take that, Costermonger!

At first I wasn't sure King Midas should cost $6, but it compares with Lost Arts rather oddly.  You absolutely cannot draw the actions dead anymore, but if it's a draw card, it's a lot less likely to be as useful as having played it with a +1 Action token during your Action phase.  Maybe you'd want Midas to touch your Goons or Monuments, but not your Rabble or Hunting Grounds.

I would probably King Midas my Storyteller so it can play Crown as a freaking Treasure, if anything.

These aren't really bad card ideas.  In fact, Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde is surprisingly similar to to an official card announced two days after your post (Werewolf), both thematically and mechanically.

So now we have an official card that was almost predicted in the RCBI thread.

Hey, this is not the "Really intriguing, kinda interesting card ideas" thread! I will counteract this elaborate balderdash with a really bad card idea:

Quote
Catapult
Cost: $4
Types: Action/Attack
Trash any number of Rocks from your hand. For each Rock trashed, each other player trashes a card from their hand.
When you buy this, gain 5 Rocks from the Rock pile.

Quote
Rock
Cost: $0*
Type: Rock
It's a Rock. (This is not in the Supply.)
