If we weren't supposed to define what the cards actually do, this would be Ill-Defined Card Ideas...

What happens if my score drops below zero?
This might be the only card that makes me want to buy Curses.

I think you just explained the joke, intentionally or not.

I'm open to proposed revisions of this list.  The list could be arbitrarily long, and the card would self-enable reaching further into the list, assuming the cards themselves form a sustainable engine...

I feel like there should be at least 30 cards in there.  There needs to be a significant cost associated with gaining a Steve, obviously.

I like the philosophy, but feel this is backwards.
It should be worth 3$ if you've already played a real gold, and 0$ otherwise. 
You have to prove you are trustworthy before you hand out the fake stuff.

Like the markets in china, where the first couple of beers they sell you are legit, and once you're a little buzzed they throw in the counterfeits

Leads to an infinite loop if you keep recursively proposing "Really Bad Card Idea" and everyone always agrees to it... which is further proof that it's a Really Bad Card Idea.

The effect of that card is so unclear it made me want to flip the table.
