I like it a lot, actually, although I would rename it "Florist." I'm a big fan of Market-like cards, and also of Copper interactions. I also think it's rather appropriate how this combos with Spice Merchant. For a card that increases your hand size by one, though, it might be under-priced.

I absolutely agree - I am also a big fan of Market-like cards. And yes, I would rename it to 'Florist' too. But that might be because I am a big fan of serenataflorists.

Keep in mind that if you use Trader, the gained card no longer goes into your hand.

:O I did not know that. I have always traded a torturer's curse into my hand (and told others to do the same.) Does it say that somewhere on the card or in the rules?

You can't do that. Trader triggers a Silver-gaining event that interrupts and cancels the other gaining event. Trader's gain event puts the Silver into the discard, which is where all cards you gain are sent, unless otherwise specified.

But wait, if you gained a silver from trader/almoner, would it go to your hand, or would it feed a blue dog?

Back on topic, I'd like to add my praise for this card. Interesting mechanic, and very subtle in its effects and combinations.
