Old ideas that work better with Guilds rules

I don't know about you, but i found the new Guilds rules were able to strongly improve some older card ideas i had. Am i alone?

For example

Old version:New version with Guilds rules:
Expedition
4$, Action - Duration
+1 Card
+1 Action
+2$
At the start of your next turn: + 1 Buy
While this is in play, at the start of each other players buy phase, he gets +1$         
Expedition
4$, Action
+1 Card
+1 Action
+1$
Each player (including you) takes a coin token.



Elf
3$, Action
+3 Actions
+1 Buy
When you buy this, you may put a card from your hand back in the supply.
If you do, gain a card costing at most the same.		(No name yet)
2$+, Action
+3 Actions
+1 Buy
When you buy this, you may overpay for it. If you do, for each $ you overpaid,
put a card from your hand back in the supply and gain a card costing at most the same.

PS: If you have a good name idea (or any idea at all) how to name a Village-y card-changer with a bit of guilds in it and that fits in a set named "modern times", let me know.

PPS: Hooray for Tables!

Expedition: so much worse than tournament.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

'And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." - Moroni 7:41, the Book of Mormon

One of my cards for the mini-set contest was:

$3* - Victory
2 VP
--
When you buy this card, pay any amount greater than or equal to its cost. Then, gain a victory card costing at most $2 less than that amount.

I'd probably rephrase it to

$3+  Victory
2 VP
--

I bet you read "each other player" instead of "each player". Inserted "including you".

If i paid 4$ for the first one, wouldn't i gain an Estate? 3 VP for 4$, but in two cards, seems balanced to me. Buying the second one is better than Duchy or Province only on (some) alt-victory boards or for 11$+ without Colony. In fact it's worse than an additional buy.

I've had a similar idea to this, but you could gain any card type.
