Think outside the box: what's missing?

I don't mean "think outside the box" as in, like, outside the box of Dominion cards or anything. I just mean, you know, the thing these cards have in common is sort of an offbeat property.

What one card will make this list complete?

Duchy
Province
Stash
Vault
Wharf
Witch

Update: also Baker, Cache, Rats, Rogue, and, appropriately, Count!

Ha.  So after never getting any of these after considerable thought, even the easy ones, I glance at this offbeat one and get it almost immediately.  I guess this one is just more in sync with the way my brain works.

Great idea!

I just had the exact same experience. I am terrible at these, but this one I got. Although it took me a minute to figure out the missing card.

For once, I have completely no idea. Even after looking at the answer.

Maybe this will help.

Spy, Mine, Duke, Harem, City, Mint, Goons, Hoard, Expand, Peddler and Platinum all fall just short.

I don't get it, I'm afraid the language barrier may be too great on this one.

Same here and I feel a bit stupid about it because I still don't get it after the big hint and everything. I'm just waiting for the Palm of God to hit my forehead.

Language barrier should not be a problem but the English card names are definitely relevant.

Very nice indeed. :D

As a supplementary question (extremely easy if you have the first one), complete this list:

Native Village
Pearl Diver

Eureka. Finally figured this out. Wow, that really bugged me. I'm glad no one posted the reason for the answer, though, because I totally would have cheated.

For those of you looking for another hint, we're going international in the spoiler tags. Hold onto your butts.

The German version of this list is as follows:

Dieb (Thief)
Markt (Market)
Anbau (Upgrade)
Lakai (Minion)
Bazar (Bazaar)
Werft (Wharf) (two for two… go Wharf!)
Stadt (City)
Ernte (Harvest)

Hopefully that helps. Or just further confuses. Either way.

Two fun facts I found out while putting together that list:

1) In German, Walled Village is called "Carcassonne." Awesome.

2) In German, +Coin is called "virtuelles Geld." Literally "virtual money." Also awesome.

Indeed. And add Cache to the initial puzzle as well.

Ok, apparently I really suck at these, because I don't think I've figured out a single one yet. What's the connection?

The number of letters in the card's name is equal to its cost.

Thanks!

I became so focused on how everyone was talking about the name of the card itself; that I never thought to combine both the name and something about the card in Dominion itself. I'm pretty sure I never would have gotten that!
