Post in this topic what the response would be to official cards in an alternate universe where that card was the only official card that didn't exist, and the idea was proposed as a fan card.
I'll Start
"It's trying to turn Mystic into a sometimes Lab, but unlike Mystic, the card guess is almost always luck. Are you sure you didn't mean to put the mystic effect BEFORE the cantrip? It only combos with Scout
and Apothecary, Cartographer, Navigator and Wandering Minstrel. Its main problem is it encourages boring decks with no variety so you can guess right more often, and you don't want to be designing cards like that."
"Whoa. You do realise that you'd be able to use this card to activate on trash effects. $2 Goons and Familiars here we come. In games without them it's just a moat that can't be used in engines. If you want to use it's royal seal effect it takes up a slot in your hand. Too kingdom dependent"
"Trashing up to 4 cards for $2? The only cards that can trash this fast are forge, which costs $7 for a good reason, and count, which is guaranteed to destroy your hand, and at $5 you can't open with it often. At $2 you can ALWAYS open with it, and you always will. Bump the price up, and/or get rid of the "up to"."
"This is just a weaker a Noble Brigand for the same price. Yes weaker; it can trash other players copper? You do realise trashing your opponent's copper helps them, right?"
"A Scavenger without the top decking? The entire point of Scavenger is the top decking. No way would I ever spend an action on a shuffle. Yes it will combo with Stash, but you won't be able to get a province every turn unlike scavenger. $3 is the same as $4 in most situations, and I would never buy this."
