Palanquin (Action) $7
+1 Card
You may choose an Action card from your hand. Play it twice.

When this is in play during your buy phase, you may pay $1. If you do, put this on top of your deck.

I like it. The only thing I'd change is to narrow the timing for the topdecking down to a specific point, probably "at the start of your buy phase"

"At the start of your buy phase" would require money from Action cards.
Is there an exact word for that point when you're ready playing cards and start to buy cards? Maybe "You may overpay for the first card you buy this turn"?

I don't think so. but you can probably use "at the end of your buy phase". that might be bad online, because then you always have to click an extra button, but IRL, it should be fine.

What about a Tunnel trigger for self-topdecking?

Is that a card you really want to topdeck?

If it went to your hand instead, it would be more interesting. Although maybe then it's broken, dunno.

Also, that is not exactly a Tunnel trigger, because at the end of turn, if you have it in your hand, you discard it but not from play. I don't mind the change in this case, and the card looks pretty weak. Maybe a regular village with the topdeck-when-discard bonus for $4 is decent, especially because you can save it for next turn if you draw it dead or just don't play it. I think it would be usually stronger than Walled Village, and quite nice for consistency.

Yep, my first idea was the same, regular Village with bonus at $4.
But then i thought, why would I not play this? It draws me a card, which might be an Action. Besides when drawn dead, my suggested version is good to topdeck from hand if you don't need the extra Action, Coin and Buy this turn.
Maybe you don't want to do it by choice because if you don't play it immediately, it slows down the deck a bit.

If it went to your hand instead, it would be more interesting. Although maybe then it's broken, dunno.

Okay, this would be the Tunnel version of it:

Very strong with sifters, but Fortress is even better with trashers.
I miss the draw dead ability though.

You may not play it because you already drew your deck. Or, because you think saving it for next turn is more important than playing it now. Using Courtyard or Hamlet to save cards for next turn for consistency is not rare.
