You mean: 7 of these, black market deck (with tournament, cultist, and other unique dispenser cards), knights, fairgrounds and a young witch deck of those two Different cards mechanism?

Also colonies and platinums.

You mean, 6 of these, black market deck including [ Tournament, any Looter, any spoils card, any potion card, Urchin, Hermit, either gain-from-trash card, Young Witch], both travelers, Knights, and Fairgrounds. (I probably forgot something), with Shelters, Platina and Colonies. Assuming a 25 card BM and all Ruins represented, if I'm doing my counting right, this gets us to a possible 85 uniques, or 34 point Fairgrounds.

And you still get outscored by a Goons engine.

It's probably likely that at least one of the two-in-a-pile cards (I hope there's a better, official word for these) will give out tokens in some way.

Non-uniform piles? Heterogeneous piles?

EDIT:
Dual piles?

I've been calling them "Split Piles"

If there is a Traveller, I'd like to see a kind of Bureaucrat (not "Bureaucrat", since that name is taken already) who basically starts off as a low-level flunky, and works his/her way up to being a Vizier or Viceroy.

However, thinking about it, I doubt there will be a Traveller.  With 25 Kingdom cards, and let's say 1 Victory Kingdom card, that takes up 252 cards, plus 25 randomizers.  That leaves us with 23 cards left.  These will probably be 10 Events, and 10-13 Landmarks, with the rest being blank cards.  In order to accommodate a single Traveller, we'd have to lose 2 whole Kingdom cards to free up the 20 extra card space needed.

I doubt there would be a kingdom victory card when there are landmarks as a new way to score (via -Tokens I assume), so probably either 15 Events, 10 Landmarks or vice versa.

Perhaps not a Traveller, but a "Level Up" kind of card similar to how I think Thunderstone works...the first X cards of a pile (probably 5) would be a weaker version, and the bottom X are a more powerful version.  This would be different from things like Forager and City that require cooperation to "build" since gaining cards from only that one pile matters.

I hope there won't be people complaining about blanks, as if good Events and Landmarks took zero time to create and test.

Jay said over on boardgamegeek that Landmarks weren't Kingdom cards. I'm just going with Watno's assumption that they're like Events. Seems plausible.

It's obvious that Landmarks aren't physical cards at all.  They are real world places that you may visit to collect special powers via an app.  At last, augmented reality is coming to Dominion gameplay!

Does Empires have any card names that include names of previous cards inside them, a la Young Witch or Lost City?
