Peon
$2
Action
Choose either: +2 Cards; or +2 Actions, +$1.
Inspired by Nobles and Pawn. I like Pawn but it offers too many options that need to be tracked (all of the choices but +1 Card), which makes it slow down in-person games too much.
Because this card has only two options, it should be easy to rotate it sideways to distinguish whether it was played for cards or actions. You're cant draw cards with Peon alone, but you can do so by combining it with either a Smithy-variant or a drawing Village, and its flexibility helps to avoid duds.
