Stink Spirit – Attack – Night – Duration – 5$
At the start of your next turn: +2$ and +2 buys
While this is in play, cards cost 1$ more.

Now here is the twist – there is a specific reason why this is a bad idea. Can you find the broken combo?

Livery is proof that we will never see a card that increases the cost of things, as otherwise it could gain the entire Horse pile.

Trash a Victory card from your hand.  Remove half its coin cost in Debt, rounded up.

Hmm. A "this turn, when you gain a Curse, +$1" might be a not-really-bad effect. Less broken than giving Curses a negative cost, and let the effect be Throned.

According to the Secret History, that's kind of similar to the original version of Desperation. It didn't work out, that's why it has the "once per turn" clause. (Although that gives +1 Buy, so I guess this might be fine.)

People decide whether they want to take Collecting Artifacts in player order. When someone does, then it's over. Nobody else can nab it that turn.

This is a terrible idea because each player must take a decision at the start of every turn after the first Gold is bought. Not that tough of a decision, but I suspect the game will slow down because of this.

Weird interactions with Advisor.  Maybe you have a blitz chess clock on the table for this?

I'm not sure I'd want to play against an opponent who was shuffling against the clock, either...

Still, these aren't supposed to be good ideas. (-8

I guess maybe, so much as it breaks any card. The cost of $67 was meant to be symbolic, as the action alludes to the chorus of a song that peaked at position 67 on the US music chart. That being said, the card can be very powerful if you get a Drop.

If the previous turn wasn't yours, take a turn after this one in which you make all decisions for the player to your left and you can see their cards.
