What if Dominion cards had flavor text like MTG cards? I've taken it upon myself to come up with some flavory texty-wexty for some of them - try to guess which card is being described!

1) Whisper in the right ear, and anything can happen. Advisor

2) Give, and ye shall receive. Poor House

3) My salt-drenched heart grew warm when my eyes beheld the beacon. Lighthouse

4) This is the best candelabra I've ever seen! Masterpiece

5) Judging by these very obvious footprints, he probably went... that way. Scout

6) All that glitters might be gold. Fool's Gold

7) Might I interest you in our latest model? Does not go mad and kill you, guaranteed! Golem

8) Such great power in so small a vessel... but do I wield it, or it wield me? Relic

9) Get your 100% pure snake oil right here! Mountebank

10) We are one. We are many. You will convert, or die. Cultist

11) In your future I see both fortune and misfortune... and plenty of gold for me. Soothsayer

12) You don't want no trouble, do ya? Goons

13) There is no goal in mind; only progress for progress' sake. Laboratory

14) Yeah, it's just around back... you didn't bring anyone with you, right? Shanty Town

15) The nobility must always ride in style. Royal Carriage

16) Round and round the the dance we go... when we stop, my face I'll show. Masquerade

17) Hah! I'd like to see them try to get in here! Fortress

18) What do I do? Why, a little of this, a little of that... Jack of all Trades

19) Not all prices are paid in gold. Ill-Gotten Gains

20) Pay the toll, or I'll eat you up! Bridge Troll

Pacovf: 2, 8, 12, 14, 15, 17, and 19 are wrong. For 13, pick one.

pacovf · « **Reply #4 on:** November 02, 2015, 05:23:29 pm »

2) Chapel?
12) Goons?
13) Laboratory
15) Horse Traders?
17) Is it Moat?
19) Ill-Gotten-Gains (I feel dumb for not seeing it at first)

Dunno about 8 or 14

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #5 on:** November 02, 2015, 05:51:21 pm »

17) walled village
15)royal carriage
12) militia

Kirian · « **Reply #6 on:** November 02, 2015, 06:38:39 pm »

I'm saddened that in spite of tradition, #6 is not Moat.

werothegreat · « **Reply #7 on:** November 02, 2015, 07:08:25 pm »

Correct answers:

12) pacovf
13) pacovf
15) gkrieg13
19) pacovf

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 02, 2015, 07:13:30 pm »

2) market
17) secret chamber

eHalcyon · « **Reply #9 on:** November 02, 2015, 08:13:18 pm »

Can you edit the OP to note which ones have been answered? Because I am too lazy and would like you to do that work for me.

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 02, 2015, 08:15:00 pm »

I think only 2 and 17 are left

2, 8, 14, and 17 still have not been correctly guessed.

Awaclus · « **Reply #12 on:** November 02, 2015, 08:38:58 pm »

14) Junk Dealer?

eHalcyon · « **Reply #13 on:** November 02, 2015, 09:18:25 pm »

2. Bishop or Forge
8. Possession
17. Fortress

LibraryAdventurer · « **Reply #14 on:** November 02, 2015, 09:18:33 pm »

8- Relic -that's my first guess. Could almost just as easily be Talisman, Amulet, etc

14- Black Market

17- Vault

At first glance I thought #2 was obviously masquerade, but then I saw it further down.

werothegreat · « **Reply #15 on:** November 02, 2015, 09:19:55 pm »

Correct guesses:

8) LibraryAdventurer
17) eHalcyon

AHoppy · « **Reply #16 on:** November 02, 2015, 09:22:03 pm »

2)Beggar? Masq?

werothegreat · « **Reply #17 on:** November 02, 2015, 09:24:33 pm »

I guess I didn't realize 2) would be so hard. AHoppy is on the right track, though.

pacovf · « **Reply #19 on:** November 02, 2015, 09:30:14 pm »

2) ...Moneylender/Loan?

EDIT: oh...

14) Black Market?

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 02, 2015, 09:38:35 pm »

14 shanty town

werothegreat · « **Reply #21 on:** November 02, 2015, 09:51:27 pm »

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 02, 2015, 09:56:50 pm »

Yay!

2 forge

werothegreat · « **Reply #23 on:** November 02, 2015, 09:59:23 pm »

You guys are just going to name every single card trying to guess 2, aren't you?

LibraryAdventurer · « **Reply #24 on:** November 02, 2015, 10:13:31 pm »

2 alms

werothegreat · « **Reply #25 on:** November 02, 2015, 10:38:12 pm »

So close...

werothegreat · « **Reply #26 on:** November 03, 2015, 01:50:37 pm »

Any other guesses, or do you all give up?

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #27 on:** November 03, 2015, 01:54:18 pm »

is it trader?

iguanaiguana · « **Reply #28 on:** November 03, 2015, 01:59:31 pm »

2. Altar

Limetime · « **Reply #29 on:** November 03, 2015, 05:36:16 pm »

2. Salvager

markusin · « **Reply #30 on:** November 03, 2015, 05:52:22 pm »

Totally out of left field, since this is the opposite of what you would normally think, but just in case:

2. Miser?

werothegreat · « **Reply #31 on:** November 03, 2015, 07:11:18 pm »

Nope, nope, nope, nope. Beggar and Alms were on the right track.

gkrieg13 · « **Reply #32 on:** November 03, 2015, 07:14:36 pm »

transmogrify

I still don't think there's a card that text fits better than Bishop, as per my first guess. It works for both theme and effect!

That's what I was thinking with Altar because of the biblical language.

Maybe he's just trolling us.

Or maybe its Borrow.

Masquerade

Pirate ship
Merchant ship
Platinum

I'm sure plenty of those are wrong though

Limetime · « **Reply #39 on:** November 04, 2015, 09:06:37 am »

I will assume you started on the second one because that makes more sense.
Only masquerade and pirate ship are correct.
Hermit is really close.

Maybe one of the ship featuring events, like Expedition or Seaway?

Treasure Trove? Seems like it could be any expensive treasure...

Could also be a bunch of other seaside cards though, but I think my guess this time is Explorer. Or some events.

This is stolen from a fan-made MTG card, and applied to a Dominion card.

It's a Star Trek reference, playing on the fact that Wharf sounds like Worf.
