Ruined cards

infangthief:
I noticed some alternative ruins being suggested in the interview with Donald X thread. Some serious, some humorous.

The ruins are already a bit of a joke, and I think there is more fun to be had:

Ruined Feast: "Trash this card."
Ruined Cellar: "Discard any number of cards."
Ruined Sauna: "You may play a Ruined Avanto from your hand."
Ruined Avanto: "You may play a Ruined Sauna from your hand."
...

Asper:
Visit the "Really bad card ideas" thread for quite a few more non-serious ones of these.

"Ruined Feast" is a totally fine one that you'll also find there, although perhaps as "Ruined Chapel". I think we also had another, more serious approach to this before in these subforums (apologies for not delivering the link, I'm on mobile).

Some fan card designers such as C0okieL0rd have included their own Ruins in their fan sets, too.

Asper:
Now that I think about it, this IS a better place to collect Ruins ideas (serious or not) that the VBCI thread. So here goes:

Defiled Chapel
Trash this.

Fast
Trash this to gain a Ruins.

Ruined Throne Room (Donald's idea)
You may play a Ruins from your hand twice.

Dry Oasis
+1 Card
+1 Action
Discard a card.

Starveling (by Co0kieL0rd)
Gain two Coppers to your hand.

Dry Moat
When another player plays an Attack card, you may first discard this, to be unaffected by it.

Funeral Procession
You may play an Action card from your hand. Trash it.

I know that this is a not meant to be serious but this would be a pretty good Ruins.

Commodore Chuckles:
Ruined City
If one pile is empty, +1 Card. If two piles are empty, +1$.

Ruined Villa
When you gain this, put it into your hand.

Bankrupt Trader
Trash a card from your hand. Gain a Copper.
When you would gain a card, you may reveal this to gain a Copper instead.

Bankrupt Counting House
Look through your discard pile and put a Copper from it into your hand.

Waylaid Messenger
You may put your deck into your discard pile.

Failed Pillage
Trash this. Gain a Copper and look at each other player's hand.

Compromised Spy
Look at the top card of each player's deck.
