Not the Intended Use: Chapel (meant to be used on curses, it can also be used to prune your deck of your weak starting cards)
Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way
It says Tactician is a form of "Extra Turn". I can see what it's going for, but still I'm pretty sure it's too significantly different enough from an extra turn to be there.
Well, I've edited TVTropes before so I guess I could go in there and stir things up. Chapel, Prizes, anything else we need to "clarify"?
It looks like a bunch of pseudo facts

The same applies to very expensive action or treasure cards: they are bought late in the game, not only after obtaining enough money but also after buying higher priority cards, so the window for using them before the game ends tends to be short.
There's also the blue deck—one copy of every card in the game, but with a different backing. Originally intended to mark when a pile runs out, they did this job very badly. But shuffling them and drawing ten turns out to be an easy way to randomize which piles are used. They can also be used to form the deck for the promo card Black Market.

I never realised you could use the randomisers in either of these ways. What a crazy idea, using the randomisers to choose the cards to use in a game.
