Skulk, because it comes with a Gold, is just killer--you often will want to buy it just for the $4 Gold, Hexes are a bonus.

It isn't a $4 Gold. It also gives you a terminal stop card that doesn't give you any money.

I'm disappointed that Locusts doesn't just discard a Gardens though.

So this is it, the card we've all been waiting for: the draw-to-x village!

Also, there's the village blacksmith who turns into a werewolf at night. I guess it's always the full moon in Dominion land.

If you Inherit a Werewolf (cost reducer required), it has 5 types. Courtier can run out of options!

Envious makes your Silvers and Golds suck for one turn (well one Buy phase, because you can play Treasures ahead of your Buy phase with e.g. Storyteller, and not necessarily just one, because you can get another Buy phase with e.g. Villa - this game is full of edge cases).

I can accept that Envious doesn't trigger until your Buy phase, but once it triggers, isn't it persistent for "this turn", and your turn doesn't end just because you go to an Action phase?  Does Envious really lose track of what turn it is if you jump to another Action phase?  Or is there a time machine where you go back to the time in the turn to when you hadn't triggered Envious yet?  And Envious keeps track of all of this Dr. Who stuff but I still can't Summon a Nomad Camp?
Once it triggers, it is in fact persistent for "this turn," and normally that will only include the Buy phase it triggered in, but it can include multiple Buy phases (and multiple Action phases, though it's less likely to matter there but can).

Envious makes your Silvers and Golds suck for one turn (this is inaccurate in some ways and would require way too lengthy of an explanation of edge cases to want to go into, and it turns out the ones I mentioned were already too much).

I think I misunderstood your first quote.  You're saying it DOES affect two buy phases in this case.  Storyteller pre-emptively avoids the treasure-sucking, but Villa happens "in the same turn after Envious triggers", so treasures still suck, further Storytellers have sucky treasures, and Return To Buy Phase still has sucky treasures.

I figured Villa should not avoid Envious, but I originally thought you were saying the opposite by mentioning it alongside Storyteller on a list of edge cases.  Well, they're two weird cases, but the results are opposite.  gotcha 100%.

But you could buy Cursed Village and a Villa, taking Envious in the meantime, and only have it affect your second Buy phase.

Why does the Werewolf art show a buff black guy instead of an actual werewolf? I know he's supposed to be the smithy, but it justs looks weird.

That's what werewolves look like during the day - just regular people.

I specifically asked for a daytime, not-in-wolf-form werewolf in the artist notes. I still like that.

With Villa there can be 2 Buy phases in which you're Envious and not just the usual 1.

I smell another grammar discussion coming!

Other hexes:
Bad omens: Put your deck into your discard pile. Look through it and put 2 Coppers from it onto your deck (or reveal you can't).
Hmm. That's slightly ambiguous. Is "it" your discard pile or the deck you just put into your discard pile?

My misgivings about the amount of luck represented by Boons is somewhat amplified by Hexes. On what percentage of boards is the person who wins the one who Hexes everyone with Locusts?

The biggest thing I noticed with these Doom cards is that their attacks tend to stack. King's Court on Skulk launched a slew of attacks your opponent may not be prepared form. Heck, Fear can prevent your opponent from completing that three-pile ending they were planning.

Because it is strong or because it is weak?

The online implementation could at least show some fancy, hearthstone-esque animation showing his transformation if you play him in your night phase.

Fortresses protect you against War, and Faithful Hounds protect you against Fear and Poverty.

Not sure if this has already been touched on, but how do cards like Trader and Watchtower function with the Hexes (and Boons) that gain you cards?
If I was to gain a Copper from a Hex could I reveal my Watchtower to trash [the gained Copper] or would that not work since Hexes (and Boons) aren’t  cards in the normal sense?
Love the sneak peeks by the way.

Hexes and Boons may not be cards but cards you gain are cards so reactions work as usual

Pros- Lots of cool new card types, and the art is pretty great, especially Cursed Village
Cons- How come Werewolf doesn't care about silver?

Your Werewolf will always be the official unofficial real Werewolf.

EDIT: Which makes my version of your official unofficial real werewolf the unofficial alternate official unofficial real werewolf.
