I think there is nothing to be gained from this thread the way it goes right now... My guess is that Chase made some first attemps at card design, was proud of them and just wanted to show them to people. Which is fine. Sadly, this forum just isn't the right environment for that. Its kinda like showing some picture you drew to your aunt vs exhibiting it on an art fair. We are trying to be helpful by providing suggestions, and get irritated that Chase ignores our suggestions. Chase wanted to show something he accomplished, and gets irritated by the fact that he gets so much negative critizism.
I already suggested a path how you can check how good your cards really are, Chase. It's up to you to try it if you feel like it, I don't say you have to. But if your family really plays the way you describe it, I'm sure you could beat them using the "Big Money" strategy every time. A strong player wouldn't lose to it, but I'm afraid the people you play with are either not strong players, or seriously pulling their punches...
You see, many of your ideas are ideas a lot of people have. Super-expensive, super-strong cards, attack-deflecting reactions, attacks that steal cards from other players to put them into your hand - these have been done by a lot of people, as they are seemingly obvious gaps in the Dominion design space. So it's not like we're saying you were dumb for having those ideas. It's just, while in some games such cards may work, for one reason or another, they don't in Dominion. The others named why. If you don't want to hear about it, that's perfectly fine. But I'm afraid that if you want another kind of feedback, we won't be able to provide it.
