I made some small changes to the following cards based on your feedback:

Cathedral: Little text change to avoid confusion.
Greed: Removed "but not less than 0" part.
Restorer: Reaction effect only works when trashing a non-Victory card.
Replica: Gains on top of your deck instead of your hand.

The images on the front page aren't updated yet, but I'll do that soon.

Furthermore I have reworked the cards that seemed to have the most problems design-wise.
But I'd like to hear your opinions on them first before making the changes final.

hi there!
Stolen goods' drawbacks are essentially inconsequential. You can play it last and either discard a Victory or a dead Action or nothing on an empty hand. Since you've already played all your treasures you get no drawbacks from under-the-line either.
As a random suggestion, you could get rid of the top text and substitute the 3 coins with: if you have no treasures in play other than Stolen Goods, +3. Then keep the under the line part as is.
That way you are forced to play it first.

I like accatitippi's suggestion for stolen goods.

I'm confused by Mountains: Did you mean different types or names?

Intruders: I like the attack, let me try to simplify it:

Each other player chooses one: They reveal the top 2 cards of their deck and trashes one costing to , discarding the rest; or discards a non-Victory card. You may gain a copy of a discarded or trashed card, setting it aside, and putting it into your hand at the start of your next turn for +.

The idea was that you have to choose between 2 different downsides depending on if you play it first or last.
I agree that there's still room to improve the concept, but your suggestion, as I understand it, is almost strictly worse than silver.

What do you think about this version?:

Stolen Goods (4)
Worth: 3$
If you have any Treasure card other than this in play: -1$
-------
Each time you play a Treasure card while this is in play, choose one:
-1 Buy; or discard one card.

Yes, what I mean is "+2VP for each differently named card you trashed".

Thanks for the suggestion!
However some parts still sound a bit strange to me. How about this?:

Each other player chooses one: He discards a non-Victory card; or he reveals the top 2 cards of his deck, trashing one costing 3$ to 6$ and discards the rest.
You may gain a copy of a card that was discarded or trashed, setting it aside. At the start of your next turn, +1$ and put that card into your hand.

You can just play stolen goods last to ignore it's bottom effect.

You can just play stolen goods last to ignore it's bottom effect.

Sure, as long as you can then avoid its on-play effect (so either don't play any Copper, have a card to discard, or don't mind that you're trashing it, in which case the below-the-line part doesn't activate anyway). Also, what if you want to play two?

Its on-play effect will hardly ever hurt you. Discarding useless cards at the end of your turn is going to happen anyway, and you can always choose to discard a card even if you have no cards in hand. Getting two of these is a bit more problematic, but the first one is essentially a Gold.

[Chris is me]

We've played this one 3 or 4 times and its pretty strong, maybe too strong. I would play it even if it didn't have the optional trash ability, but since the optional trash ability is what makes the card unique I wouldn't change that about it.

Nice ideas for cards!

I think the wording for this card could be a bit smoother and closer to the Dominion style:

+$1
Choose one: +2 Cards; +2 Actions; or +2 Cards, +2 Actions, and trash this.

Alternately:

+$1
You may trash this, for +2 Cards and +2 Actions.

If you don't, choose one: +2 Cards, or +2 Actions.
