Bohnanza:

Reveal your hand.

If you have 4 or more copies of one card in hand, this is worth $4, if you have 3, it's worth $2. Else it's worth $0.

Hold 'Em
Action - Attack - $4

All players, including yourself, discard until they have three cards in hand.  Reveal the top card of your deck and place it face up in the center of the table.  Each other player may choose to place the top card from their deck, face down, in a pile next to this card.  Reveal the next two cards from your deck and place them face up next to the other cards.

Each player who placed a card in the center reveals their hand.  The player with the best poker hand, using face up cards in the center, takes all cards in the center and places each card separately either in the discard or on top of their deck.

Rulebook:  Hand ranks are as follows:

Five of a kind
5 cards of the same type with 5 different costs
Four of a kind
Full house
5 cards of the same type
5 cards with different costs
Three of a kind
Two pairs
One pair

The card with highest cost breaks ties.

Can you guess the game?  This is partly facetious - I doubt any of these would actually work in a real Dominion game.

Kerrigan
$6
Action-Attack-Duration

+$1
Each other player discards down to 3 cards in hand.
While this is in play, each other player must trash a card before playing any Action cards during their turn.
If no player blocks this card before the next turn of whoever played this card, this card stays out for another round.


Mengsk
$5
Action-Attack-Duration

+2 Actions
While this is in play, one of the cards gained during each other players' turn goes to the player of this card.

Tassadar
$10
Action

Trash this card, and all cards in play.  Gain two Province cards.

Hearts
Action
Discard down to, or draw up to, 5 cards in hand. Each other player discards down to, or draws up to, 5 cards in hand.
Each player passes three cards to the player on his left
Play a card from your hand. Each other player, starting with the player on your left, plays a card of the same type (action, victory, or treasure). If he does not have a card of that type, he may play a card of any type.  The player with the highest costing card of the same type as the starting card takes every card and sets it aside. He gains a curse for each Action card that he took this way. If anyone played the Queen of Spades, the person who played it takes the cards instead of the person with the highest costing card of the same type as the starting card and gains thirteen curses plus one curse for every Action card they took.
Repeat this process, with the player that took the hands as the starting player, until every player is out of cards.
Each player discard the cards that were originally his, including the ones that he passed to the left. If anyone played Queen of Spades, the person who took the Queen of Spades gains it, not the person who played it.
Each player draws 5 new cards for his hand.
--
At the beginning of the game, if this is in the Supply and Queen of Spades is not, put the Queen of Spades into the Supply.
$5

Queen of Spades
-1VP
--
This card cannot be bought.
The first time someone buys a Hearts card, randomly shuffle this and the number of curses equal to the number of players minus one. Put one of the shuffled cards under each player's draw piles.
--
This supply pile has only one card.
--
At the beginning of the game, if this is in the Supply and Hearts is not, put Hearts into the supply
$22

EDIT: Added "each player draws new hand" to Hearts, removed "attack" from hearts

Heroism
Action - $8

+3 Actions
+3 Cards

Choose 3 cards from your hand.  You may trash as many as you like.  Discard the rest.
----
While this is in play, after resolving any action, +2 Cards, Discard 1 card.
----
Only one copy of Heroism may be played on your turn.  Subsequent copies of Heroism are immediately discarded when played.

This allows action chaining and also allows a lot of extra deck cycling.  Nonetheless, I think it's reasonably balanced at $8, actually.


Yes, I play Alliance.  It's Heroism, not Bloodlust.

Consult NATO


Victory-Reaction, $6

When an opponent gains a card, you may reveal this from your hand. If you do, the United States Federal Government enters into binding consultation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on the subject of your opponent gaining the card, and he gains the card if and only if NATO agrees.

NATO would probably collapse if we didn't ask them about a children's card game :)

Exodia

Trash this and four other copies of Exodia from your hand. If you do trash five Exodias, you win the game.

Bandit Keith
Action - Duration - Attack - $4

While this card is in play, every player must announce "In America!" after each card he plays. If he fails to do so, he gains a curse.

Another one from 7 Wonderstm:

Collector
Victory - $6
At the end of the game trash number of Estates from your deck equal to number of Collectors in your deck.
At the end of the game your Provinces, Duchies and Estates don't provide any victory points. Instead you get X/4 victory points.
---
Your Provinces, Duchies and Estates represent three science symbols from the 7 Wonderstm. Calculate your score(X) as you would in 7 Wonderstm.

New user, great card ideas!
I had a few of my own:
Settlement
Cost: $4  Action
+1 Action   +$1
You may trash this card.  If you do, +1 Buy  and gain a City, putting it on top of your deck.
------
Setup: The first time Settlement is gained, place the "City" kingdom pile in the game if it is not already.

Ticket to Ride Further
$4  Action
+1 Action
Draw the top 2 cards of your deck.  If they are the same type and the same type as a card already in your hand,
discard all 3 and gain 4 Victory points.  Otherwise, choose one of the drawn cards to keep, and discard the other.

Red Dragon

Victory - Reaction
Cost: $5
Worth 4VP for every three Red Dragons (round down) in your deck at the end of the game.

When someone discards a Red Dragon (other than in clean-up) you may reveal this card and one or two other Red Dragons. If you do, you gain the discarded Red Dragon. Put your two Red Dragons in your discard pile. If you revealed three Red Dragons you also gain one random card from the current Kingdom (use the randomizer cards).

Since I want to revive this thread, and baseball season is coming up...

MANAGER

+$2
You may discard a card from your hand. If you do, reveal cards from your deck until you reveal a card with the same cost. Put it into your hand, then discard the rest.
-
During your Cleanup phase, look at the top three cards of your deck. You may reveal and discard any card that costs the same as a card in play. If you do, put a card in play with the same cost as the discarded card on top of your deck.
--
$4 - Action

This is loosely based around pinch hitters, relief pitchers, etc. And yes, I'm kind of obsessed with the "replace with same cost" mechanic, aren't I?

A set based on Settlers of Catan (Cities and Knights expansion):

Robber -- Action - Attack

Cost: $5

Move the Robber token onto a supply pile other than the one it is on.  Reveal a random card from the hand of the player to your left.  If  it is a Treasure or Action card, put it into your hand.

Set up: place the Robber token on the Province pile.  Players may not buy that card as long as the Robber token is on it.

===========================================

Knight -- Action - Duration

Cost: $5

+1 Action

You may not discard this from play on the turn that it is played.  When you discard this card from play, choose one: +1 Card and every other player discards a Knight for no benefit; move the Robber token onto a supply pile other than the one it is on; or gain a card costing up to $4 and put it in your hand.

Set up: place the Robber token on the Province pile.  Players may not buy that card as long as the Robber token is on it.

===========================================

Barbarians -- Action

Cost: $7

When you buy this or play it, count the number of Knight cards in play.  If it is fewer than the number of tokens on the Barbarian mat, the player(s) with the fewest Knight cards in play gains a curse and discards three cards from their hand.  Otherwise, the one player with the most knight cards in play gains a Duchy and sets it aside until the end of the game.  If there is a tie, those players may each gain a Kingdom card costing up to $5.  After this, each player discards all Knights in play for no benefit.

Set up: at the beginning of the game, place one token on the Barbarian mat for each player.  Add a token when anyone buys a Province or Colony.

===========================================

Metropolis -- Action

Cost: $7

+2 Cards
+2 Actions
+1 Buy

+$1 for each empty Supply pile.  If you trash this card, put it in your discard instead.  You must trash a City card from your hand or play area in order to buy this card.

Set up: Add City to the Kingdom if it is not already available.

Deal or no Deal
Treasure - $5
Worth $0*
Remove all treasures from your discard pile and lay them face down in front of you. Choose one at random, but don't reveal it. Reveal each of the remaining treasures one at a time. Each time you do, the player to your left names a treasure value. You may play Deal or No Deal for that value or continue revealing cards. If you reject all of the other players' offers, play the treasure in front of you and play Deal or No Deal for the value of that treasure.

Tic Tac Toe/Global Thermo Nuclear War
Action - $2
Gain all Curses in the Supply.
.
.

(because the only winning move is not to play)

The game may end when all kingdom piles are trashed.

Plague

Action-Attack $4

+3 cards, if you do trash every card of any one name in your hand. All of the other players gain a copy of that card.

Based off Pandemic's idea of being able to kill of all of one type of disease if you are the medic and the idea that the disease spreads to other cities during an outbreak.

It is a little like Ambassador, Masquerade but has the danger of Lookout forcing you to trash all of anyone type if you draw nothing but Golds and Provinces and Platinums. Other than that would be probably too good of an early game trasher.
