I came up with a card im happier with.
I present: Appraiser
Version 5:
A significant debuff
VERSION 4:
+2 Cards
You may play a card that gives +$ from your hand.
-
In games using this, Silver is instead an Action that gives +2 Actions, +$2.
Edit notes:
Made appraiser cost $4 as its worse then lab. Made it able to play treasures in your discard pile, meaning its sorta like a smithy in card draw now. Thus removed the +2 Cards option on silver, cause playing a silver that way with appraiser without having to draw the silver is essentially a hunting grounds, which is nuts for $5, let alone $4. And thats not talking about the fact that you get money from the silver!!
Removing the +2 Cards option makes silver now a necropolis + silver. it simplifies the card and removes uninteresting decision points. And it made it so i can just remove the "If it's your action phase" part, saving a lot of space on Appraiser. which is needed when it allready has text on the top.
Hopefully silvers still feels like Silvers here. Im not a fan of removing the money part on silvers, it's part of its identity
Edit round 2:
Tightened up wording. Made it match charlatans text more. Removed the "play from hand" part, and now it is just playing from the discard pile, but you discard a card first.
Edit round 3:
Decided to nerf the card significantly.
Silvers are now instead ACTIONS, not action-treasures.
Appraiser now lets you play ANY card that gives you +$ from your hand. NOT from your discard pile. That competed too hard with courier and if you had enough silvers, that was a GM fugitive. which wasnt my intent.
Now there is hopefully a counterbalance between getting enough silvers for supporting your action deck.
But also silvers usually being -1 card. Meaning that if you play silvers with appraiser, you get +2 Cards first, -1 Card for having to draw appraiser and -1 Card for silver, But you net 1 action.
Which was my intent.
The new version has cleaner wording as well. Which i hope is a lot better.
Hopefully Appraisers new ability Makes you wanna add more cards you might not usually want as well. Maybe poor house or forager will becoming pivotal parts of your deck!
FAQ:
If you also get conclave on the kingdom, you should just replace it with another card. sorry!!
Ways doesnt count for being allowed to play cards with appraiser.
Appraiser doesnt play coffer cards, sorry!
If you have an token that lets a card give you money when it normally wouldnt, you can play it with appraiser.
