My guess is the new expansion will have bees.

Beekeeper - $4 Action/Attack

Everyone gains a Bee

I just hope it helps some of the cards which have few opportunities to shine.

I love when cards like Counting House and Coppersmith are good, but that's such a small percentage of games they appear in.
Cards that do novel things no other cards does are always going to be very situational.
I hope this new expansions give us more of those situations.

The Dominion game where Kung-Fu Jesus gets sacrificed?  How 'bout no.

That would be cool, but I more hope it somehow takes luster off the cards that shine on almost every board.  I'm not sure how that would work exactly, especially for randomly chosen kingdoms where the best you can do is change the probability of a card being not-dominant on a kingdom... maybe lots of strong new reactions?

it's a shame that full-random is the de facto standard

Dominion: Revolutions
Mechanic: Cards with different effects depending on how they're oriented.

Other mechanics that have come up in wild mass guessing for previous expansions that I haven't seen yet, or that I've blatantly stolen from other games:
Dexterity (Hat $3 Action-Duration: Put this on your head. At the start of your buy phase, +$1 for each Hat on your head. When this falls off your head, discard it from play)
Endgame (Cards from the outtakes that did something at the end of the game)
Startgame (Cards that affect how the games starts)
Scenarios (Each player starts with a different initial deck)
Legacy (Use a sharpie to claim cards as your own!)
Co-operative mode (Team up to take down Lord Bottington!)

Hat will be a nightmare for online play.  "Remember to tell me if your hat falls off.  And you're not tracking your deck on paper, are you?"

Hat might be weaker if you gain a hat, adding it you your head.  After a point it would get progressively worse when stacked.

I do it all the time because I can cheat by looking at the opponent's draw pile and know exactly what he has in his deck.

It's even more useful to use them to know what's in my opponent's hand and what my next 5 cards are when I'm deciding whether to break PPR. If I see he doesn't have enough for a Province and I can get one next turn, breaking PPR is correct.

The speculation doesn't seem to be quite as good this time as with previous expansions. It may be because all the best speculators ended up being play testers and are now sworn to secrecy ...

What did the groundless speculation look like last time? I think it only really picked up when the name of the set was announced.
