From the link: Summon(5 cost) Gain a card costing up to 4 and set it aside. At the start of your next turn play the set aside card.

Update:

Summon: Event, $5
Gain an Action card costing up to $4. Set it aside. If you do, then at the start of your next turn, play it.

When-gain effects trigger. Remember lose-track just stops cards from being moved, it doesn't stop other things from happening. The Summoned card can end up in the wrong place, in which case the "if you do" will fail.

[LastFootnote]

So, I would have named the German version "Herbeizaubern". Is that correct, native German speakers?

I'm guessing that card gets discarded at the end of the turn after buying Summon?

Well since it says "play it", why wouldn't it?

Just checking.  Seems neat.  Open /, Summon a Sea Hag or Marauder or Ambassador.  If you can drop Ferry on Cultist, Summoning them seems better than just straight buying them.

What happens if you summon silver or another treasure card?

Do when-gain effects ever trigger? I would guess no. Whoops, though it was set aside immediately, not gained first. So then is there a possible lose-track thing with on-gain effects where it doesn't get topdecked? set-aside? (answered: yes, and then it would not be played either)

Best T1 summons sound like remake or ambassador to me. Or even... potion on an appthecary board. Woah.

Otherwise, this could be a really common buy, like every single turn for a while on boards with weak 5s.

I'm guessing the full text actually says Action card.

Of course they would.  Why wouldn't they?

[Eistee]

So, I would have named the German version "Herbeizaubern". Is that correct, native German speakers?

That is a possible and good translation.

Another possible translation would have been "Beschwörung" (Summoning) or "Beschwören" (to summon), which also is a term used in magic, just like "Herbeizaubern". Both are fine and would have been, like, 100% better than "Einladung".

Man, Einladung. I don't even know what to say. It literally means "Invitation".

I mean, from what I can gather from that tiny picture, it shows someone using magic. And yet, they call it "Einladung". Now that's just silly. I have only met one wizard so far inviting fireballs rather than summoning them, and let me tell you, wow, weird guy.

[werothegreat]

Would anyone be interested in playing with Summon in a game over Skype?

[sc0UT]

So, I would have named the German version "Herbeizaubern". Is that correct, native German speakers?

Yes, that name or "Beschwören" or "Herbeirufen" would have been ok. But "Einladung" again is a weird translation as many others in this series.

OK, Eistee was faster.

SUMMON DISTANT LANDS

With cost reduction, of course.

[Asper]

Seconding "Beschwörung". "Herbeizaubern" is technically correct, but sound more like "make appear" than actually summoning. I really wonder how somebody could get that wrong. Maybe they didn't see the art and thought is was more of a "call the guys together because we need to meet" summon?

[Eistee]

And now there has to be that one parallel universe in which creatures in the German version of "Magic: The Gathering" are invited rather than summoned.

That's just awesome.

It only gains Actions.

Summon: Event, $5
Gain an Action card costing up to $4. Set it aside. If you do, then at the start of your next turn, play it.

Also LastFootnote came up with this card!

This made me think of a better version of my previous one:

Whoa, congrats LF!  You are now officially better than all other fan card designers.

Very nice event. I like how you technically never gain the card.

[Mic Qsenoch]

Very nice event. I like how you technically never gain the card.

Of course you do, it's right there: "Gain an Action card".

Duh! I was too focused on the whole set aside thing.

Anyway, this is pretty nice opening with Chapel, even better than Travelling Fair since you are guaranteed to hit all three estates.

And that's how ghost writing entered the world of board game design.

My guess is playtester-made cards will be limited to Promos.

So, what cards would be best to use with it - probably something you want to keep, but is also good early on. Maybe Sea Hag then? Terminal cards are always good with this sort of effect too.
