Gaining Village - On play Port

Set aside a Gaining Village from the Supply. During cleanup this turn, discard it.

The bottom part really just means "gain a Gaining Village", but is so worded so that you cannot piledrive Gaining Villages with Watchtower/Extreme Trashing.

So it's similar to Port, difference being how you get the village. In general Gaining Village has the potential to get more other GVs, but Port gets you one earlier, ensuring you will get the free Village before it runs out. Hence I think they should be the same cost.

What do you think, especially about how it compares with Port?

"Strictly Better" compares only effects and not cost, change my mind

Well, Gaining Village and Port are similar for sure. They both make you want to buy them early before they're gone. I think they're similar enough that it's not worth doing both, and I like Port better. With Port, it's still a question about whether you open with it. With Gaining Village, you absolutely have to open with it since it doubles the number of Gaining Villages in your deck every shuffle. You might even buy additional ones to get a leg up, but then they stop doing their special thing almost immediately.

Maybe make it not free to gain more, so they don't run out so quickly?
