Oh nice. This was my first alternate for last week anyway.







Quote
Practise • $3 • Event
Play a non-Command, non-Duration Action card whose cost is $4 or less from the Supply, leaving it there. Take the Bow or the Rosin.
Quote
Bow • Artifact
At the start of your turn, +1 Buy. When you buy Practise, you may play a card whose cost is $5 or less instead.
(Follow all other restrictions on Practise)
Quote
Rosin • Artifact
At the start of your turn, +1 Buy. When you buy Practise, you may play the selected card twice, leaving it in the Supply.
(Follow all other restrictions on Practise)



Notes:
  • Bow lets you bypass Potion costs. This is intentional. cleaner to get rid of this and fix the "play debt cards for free"
  • Rosin probably doesn't need the reminder text Rosin now actually uses its reminder text
  • Practise now can't play Duration cards, because the tracking on that would be a mess.

Big shout-out to Fragasnap for making me think what an event/command card would look like, and to Gubump + scolapasta for reminding me that: Hey Debt exists and you should probably fix this.

In my dreams, I have a Plan, if I got me Wine Merchant ah, I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd Fool around and have a Ball...

Too easy to loop.

i'm not following what you're saying here

If I understand correctly Practise produces unbounded +$ and +buy with anything that gives at least +$2 and +1 Buy with Rosin. I'm pretty sure you win on turn 1 with a $4 hand and Messenger/Nomad Camp on the board. It needs a once per turn clause or some other way to stop you buying it over and over with +buy cards.

Shadow Realm

Action/Command - $3
You may reveal an Action from your hand to play it, then play the Shadow card with the same cost, leaving it there.
-
Setup: For each Action card cost present in the supply, set aside an extra non-command Action with that cost; these are the Shadow cards.

Note: Sometimes there won't be a card available to set aside as a Shadow (eg Poor House or Engineer or Golem is in the supply, or Artisan is and you only own the base set). "Do as much as you can" - Shadow Realm is just a Ruined Village to those cards.

I would personally price this at . I might even say that it's better on average than a Throne Room.

Ah gotcha. yeah that makes sense. Changed it to once per turn.

Its strength really depends on the cards it calls up.

In the secret histories Throne Room was fine at $3 but was bumped up to $4 to make eleborate Throned Throne trees pop up less in the base set. Shadow Realm chains are linear.

But the main reason I made it $3 is it's one of those cards that gets better the higher you price it, as you can play a Shadow Realm with Shadow Realm.

That's an opportunity to make a Shadow card specific to each unique price point which is only used with Shadow Realm (kinda like Zombies with Necromancer). So you'd need one for Transmute, Engineer, Golem, Poor House, and Possession (and maybe Peddler?)

Once per game: Gain a Duchy. Set aside a non-Command Action card from the Supply costing up to $4. Move your Duchy token to it.

If I was designing a whole bunch of cards I'd make sure no price point only had 1 card, but in order to avoid not having shadows, you'd need 11 Action cards to exist at each price point. I'd rather keep it (relatively) simple.

Here's my quick made submission:

Kind of like a miser, you can save up during a year of plenty and make your next YoP better (diminishing returns on YoP when you start cashing them in though).  Hope it's clear what it does.

I think to make it more clear you should say "turn one Copper on your Tavern mat face down. At the end of your turn, flip it face up." That is more align with Dominion cards that specifically instruct rather than imply what to do. "Keep it down for the turn" is satisfied by keeping it down for the turn and next turn and forever, technically. So, it'd be a little clearer to instruct the turning back of the Copper.

edit: retracting this, see conversation after this 

I think this card is very cool!

Necromancer uses the same "turn it face down for the turn" wording.

true but
1) challenge requires "Command" in the text or type
2) futureproofs against hypothetical Command cards that may play events
3) the gain from allowing them is pretty much just to let you hit multiple adventures tokens in a "single" play or to make Conspirator better - just point to the card you wanna do, none of this pointers-to-pointers stuff. You can still use it as Necromancer if you wanna do that sort of thing.

Revising that specific aspect isn't a high priority to me. Good catch though.

1) challenge requires "Command" in the text or type

I would avoid listing that as a point of defense (especially as the first point), because it reads like you're ok with just taking any random card, and adding "Command" in the text to make it fit the challenge; when the challenge specifically requires there to be good reason to use the text/type.

I think your reason #3 is good enough as a defense.

I mean, regardless if it can play commands or not, i think it fits the spirit of the challenge. But yeah that bell is rung as far as not including that as a defense.

Zealot
Types: Action, Duration, Attack, Command
Cost: $4
At the start of your next turn, +1 Card, +1 Action, and +$1. Until your next turn, the first time each other player plays a card on their turn, they ignore its effect and may play a cheaper non-Command card sharing a type with it from the Supply, leaving it there.

Action - Command - $4
Trash a card from your hand. Play a non-Command Action card from the Supply costing up to $3 more than the trashed card, leaving it there.

The play of the action from the Supply appears to be mandatory.  Was that intentional? There could be some kingdoms and situations where you'd prefer not to play an action costing $3 or less as a result of trashing a copper (in particular, the most common such situation seems to be when the only actions you could play are forced trashers, and you don't have any other cards you want to trash).

Zealot
$4 - Action/Duration/Attack/Command

At the start of your next turn, +1 Card, +1 Action, and +$1.
Until your next turn, the first time each other player plays a card on their turn that would be unaffected by a Zealot, they ignore its effect and may play a cheaper non-Command card from the Supply sharing a type with it.

This card might be too brutal against cheap Action cards, but it looks neat otherwise. My brain broke trying understand the part in italics though. What would cause something to be "affected" by Zealot besides being hit by the Attack?

Yes, this is intentional. I think it makes it more interesting.

Oh, the intent of that wording was to make the attack stack (so if you play two Zealots it downgrades your opponent's first two cards), primarily to give it a sufficiently different design space from Enchantress. So like the first Zealot you play downgrades your opponent's first play, and the second one downgrades the second play (since it skipped over the first one for already being affected by a Zealot). That might be disgusting with Throne though, but I think the attack doesn't have enough potency if it can't be stacked. If you have any ideas on how to make that wording less confusing, I'm all ears.

As for the cheap action thing, you might be right. Maybe I could put in a clause to allow the opponent to get +1 Action if they can't play a cheaper card; getting hit with that is still significantly worse than getting hit with Enchantress, though you only miss out on playing an action that wasn't that good anyway.

Assembly
Types: Action, Command
Cost: $5
You may play a non-Command Action card from your hand. Then, if you did, play a non-Command Action card from the Supply costing up to the cost of that Action card, leaving it there.
If you play a $5 card from your hand with Assembly, your Assembly is a Band of Misfits played without spending an +action.  If you only have $4 Actions to play with it, you can only Band of Misfits $3 Actions.
I think you're misunderstanding the card, in the context of Dominion up to $X includes $X. So if you play a $5 with Assembly you can play any card in the Supply costing $5 or less, including another copy of the card you played.
Quite right, I don't misunderstand the concept of "up to": I misread the card (funnily enough considering I transcribed it correctly).  I stand by the non-Command from hand being unnecessary (from Supply is needed), especially because Assembly->Assembly would need to have a third Action in hand to be able to chain.  It just seems like a feel-bad mechanism that I wouldn't want to have on a $5 Throne Room variant. 

Zealot
Types: Action, Duration, Attack, Command
Cost: $4
At the start of your next turn, +1 Card, +1 Action, and +$1. Until your next turn, the first time each other player plays a card on their turn that would be unaffected by a Zealot, they ignore its effect and may play a cheaper non-Command card from the Supply sharing a type with it.

Oh, the intent of that wording was to make the attack stack (so if you play two Zealots it downgrades your opponent's first two cards), primarily to give it a sufficiently different design space from Enchantress.
This is not preferable from a design sense.  A Zealot chain can shut out the game (which would be a huge first-player advantage and could be exacerbated in multiplayer (though they have to get through the other players' Zealots first)), especially because it hits any kind of card you play, even cancelling Coppers altogether.  I think it is sufficiently different than Enchantress regardless.  Enchantress is an independently strong card that increases the value of low-cost Actions, while Zealot will be much more Kingdom-dependent in reducing the value of low-cost cards.  It giving +1 Action next turn might be trouble, though, as players might buy it just for the actions.

The big rules problem this has is how it is supposed to interact with Enchantress when I play an Action while under both effects.
I'd guess I get +1 Card and +1 Action and then also play a cheaper non-Command card sharing a type with it (Enchantress nullifies the effects of the Action and gives me the cantrip bonus, and then Zealot steps in and nullifies the nothing that the card did and tells me to play a cheaper non-Command card in the Supply, or the other way around because I choose the order): An anti-synergy.

Hmm. As much as I'd like it to be able to stack, the multiplayer interaction combined with the first turn advantage combined with the tortured wording may be too many strikes against it.

Zealot
Types: Action, Duration, Attack, Command
Cost: $4
At the start of your next turn, +1 Card, +1 Action, and +$1. Until your next turn, the first time each other player plays a card on their turn, they ignore its effect and may play a cheaper non-Command card sharing a type with it from the Supply, leaving it there.

By the way, where are you guys finding art to use in the card generator?

I think this attacking concept is cool. It sometimes hurt so much (Seer) and sometimes help so much (Smithy into Village!) and change the opponent's strategy like Embargo.
By the way, I think the non-Command restriction is not needed. Playing Zealot from the Supply to help the next turn is reasonable defense strategy and doesn't make loops.

I made a minot tweak to Student, using Peddler's phrasing, to make it clear that the cost is based on the players whose turn it is, not the player whose Student is being evaluated (this matters for Attacks, for example):

...Difficult to find a good painting for this subject that yet seems interesting to treat.
I propose you Simon the Zealot.

(sorry I don't know how to post an image that could be enlarged...)
