Title: Mini fan expansion
Post by: Jonatan Djurachkovitch on November 13, 2020, 04:51:14 am
Here I have collected the fan cards I'm the most happy with. (https://imgur.com/gallery/XDYXwIt) It is three piles short of being a full, Cornucopia-sized expansion, maybe I will add them someday. The theme is "cards that do things at unusual times". The mechanics are Reserve cards and there is also one State.

Nice set of cards. I like most of them.

With Repurpose, it's unclear which card "it" is that you return to the supply. You should probably say "...call this to return the gained card to its pile and..."

I think Royal Messenger is too strong for $4 (also, you have it in your album twice).

You're right, I'll change it.

I have removed the duplicate. The previous version only let you call it on cards that cost less than it, but that is probably a bit weak. Letting you call it on $4's makes it fun with Inventor and Bridge, but if it ends up being too overpowered, I might change it back.

Unnamed Action-Reserve: "You may" is unnecessary, as "up to" includes zero.

Craftsman: +Buys come before +(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/6/6d/Coin.png/16px-Coin.png), not the other way around.

Materials: +Cards come before +Actions.

Sheep: This is extremely weak. It's way too dependent on its reaction effect.

I know that correcting the ordering of vanilla bonuses seems nitpicky, but not only does it look better in the proper order (in my opinion, at least), but it also protects your cards against being misread. I've misread plenty of fan-cards that were supposed to give +Cards and +Actions as not giving +Cards due to having the bonuses in the wrong order, for example.

I fixed all the wordings. I'm thinking about how to buff sheep, maybe I could let it discard a card from your hand?

It seems that the images for all of the cards I mentioned except Sheep are gone from the album, rather than changed.

What in the world? I will try to fix it.

I fixed it by removing the collection from imgur, and made a new. The new one is in the updated topic post.

perhaps make it cost (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/2/2a/Coin4.png/16px-Coin4.png), and give +(http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/3/3d/Coin2.png/16px-Coin2.png) when played. Then it will also match way of the sheep
