Two more new ones, this below is from the most recently concluded contest regarding Command cards.
So different approach than the one I submitted. After making changes based on what majiponi said, it was basically a Band of Minions. Assembly by Gazbag was my favorite card, so I liked the idea of a Throne Room element.
Play up to two different Action cards from the Supply that have Student tokens on them, leaving them there.

When you gain this, put a Student token on a non-Command Action Supply pile costing up to $4.So it does not permit a throne room double play, as you need to play two different cards or just play one. The token mechanism slows the card down, which I'm hoping justifies the cards's cost being at $4 instead of $5. Still very Band of Minions-ish, but the double play makes it more effective once you have two tokens out.
Partly related to Scholasticus is a Woodcutter-Potion-Black Market variant:
So you have 12 Kingdom cards instead of 10, but only 2 of those are available for purchase or gaining when Foreign Merchants is in play. This shifting of 2 piles from Supply and out of it allows for some interesting combos, but there is likely a problem with a card or five that I'm missing.
