The only card I consider wrongly priced is Courtyard. It should cost $3. The difference there is quite negligible, though.

Adventurer and Scout would be un-workable as written at any price.

Every other card is exquisitely priced.

I don't think Courtyard is a problem at $2, but yeah it could easily cost $3.

I think Scout would be a perfectly fine $1 card as written.  You could probably stretch it to $2 as well.   But yes, it wants a buff that's not just "make this card cheaper".

What Adventurer needs is not a price change, but a +Buy.  It doesn't need to be strong, but that tweak would probably make it strong enough.

Counting House could conceivably be $4, I think, unless I'm underestimating the early-game potential of a $4 Counting House somehow.

Also, I want the official record to note that you have now called Tournament "exquisitely priced".  Just saying.

I personally don't think Counting House is bad at all. $4 would make it way too strong IMO. But adding a +Buy to Adventurer would probably be perfect.

[Thisisnotasmile]

What do people think of Mine for $4? I think I remember Donald even hinting at this one before too...

[shMerker]

Wouldn't 5 of those cards be prizes? So shouldn't the question be what 3 cards aren't perfectly priced?

Tournament should be a Prize, instead of a supply card 

[Rhombus]

Are you saying that you should buy Chapel 99% of the time it appears? Because that's definitely not true! It's probably in the 70-80% range (just a guess).

I think Rhombus is saying that 99 percent of the time that you buy Chapel, you should do so on Turns 1/2.  Which is something else entirely.

Exactly.  You definitely don't purchase Chapel 99% of the time.

The biggest reason scout has to cost 4 is clearly to make scout-scout open less of a game changer.

Cripes double Scout open would be so strong.

149 perfectly priced cards and people are still complaining about Chapel?
Let it go, guys.

So, which eight cards do you think are less than perfectly priced?  Inquiring minds want to know!

Didn't know the exact number of course, but I think Followers is too cheap.
I mean, $0 for a Torturer that chooses both actions. That should at least be a $6.

[Schlippy]

A Torturer that chooses both actions, only draws 2 cards and dilutes your deck with an Estate on the way.

Still, the fact that there's only one copy in the game should make it pretty costly.

[shMerker]

Having a lower cost actually makes prizes weaker cards than they would be with a printed cost of, say $7 or $8.  At $0 they can't be trashed for points or be upgraded, remodeled, expanded, developed, or remade into anything useful. They salvage for +1 buy and they can be swindled into curses or coppers. It's true that they can't be hit by Saboteur, but otherwise the $0 cost is actually a weakness.

[LastFootnote]

What do people think of Mine for $4? I think I remember Donald even hinting at this one before too...

What he said was that there was one $5 card in the base set that he might try at $4. People just assumed it was Mine. Granted, it's hard to see it being any of the other $5 cards in that set. A $4 Council Room might be interesting, though.

EDIT: I think Mine at $4 would be a great opener in most games without really good deck thinning. Although, it does have a lot of competition, even at $4 (Militia, I'm looking at you).

More costly than $12 and two buys, followed by having to hook up your Tournament with a Province?
