I like the modular concept of the Boroughs and Folks. IMO, I would suggest putting some text on the Boroughs stating that you should resolve the effects of the Folk.
Just to confirm, do you resolve the effect of the Folk when you buy it, or do you just gain the Borough?
FWIW, Royal + Municipality looks pretty strong for $5 since you don't need to throne a non-terminal in order to get the village effect. But I suppose not being able to throne itself is a clear downside, so maybe $5 is OK.

After playing a Liaison, you may spend 3 Favors to play one of the set aside cards, leaving it there.
Setup: Set aside 2 unused Actions costing $4.
I've still got Allies on my mind. This is an Ally version of Way of the Mouse. It uses stronger cards, and uses 2 of them. To avoid goofy openings with Importer, I made it trigger on-play-Liaison, which I actually think makes it more interesting.

The non terminal draw counterpart to Young Witch. Its usefulness will vary considerably depending on the Supporter card (cantrips that can be easily gained like Magpie and Port seem pretty good, but a bad terminal like Fortune Teller means this is probably skippable). I know Young Witch only allows $2 or $3 cards, but for this card I think going up to $4 makes it more useful (there are a good chunk of nice $4 engine pieces, like the two I mentioned) and it also allows for more fun.
I like this, but isn't Crusader strictly better than Militia?
Based on them calling it a "slightly more expensive Militia," I'm guessing they think Militia costs (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/3/32/Coin3.png/16px-Coin3.png).

It guarantees that there will be +Buy in the kingdom (yay) which means the cost reduction will probably be more helpful. Then again, the 3 locked piles could be duchess, explorer, and harvest, and then key becomes a copper for $4...(not yay). Such is the way with cards that rely on other cards, like Commander, Prince, etc.

Merchant Road is a Treasure that adds a non-Supply pile of Goods which are always non-terminal (to make it easier to get multiple in play). Your first few plays will gain Goods and later you can get rewarded for playing lots of Goods. It seems kinda fun to not have a cost limit on Goods so there's a wider range of possibilities, but it maybe needs one, there's a big difference between a Pearl Diver gainer and a Grand Market gainer. Thoughts appreciated.

First of all, I think this is a phenomenal idea. I like how this plays with the fact that a lot of official cards are a combination of a Vanilla and a non-Vanilla effect that have nothing to do with each other; this expands on the possibilities for that.
Which makes it very painful for me to say that I don't think this entry qualifies. If I understand this correctly, the Boroughs aren't Kingdom cards.

Fief - $3The problem I see with this is that about half of the $6 cards in the game are weak for their cost and the bottom card of these piles wants to be strong. Might work better if the bottom card of the randomly-made split pile was a $2, so the bottom card would be a $5.

______
Setup: Add 2 Action supply piles to the Kingdom. These are the "Paired" cards, and you may play a copy of one after playing a copy of the other.
So basically if the Paired cards are Village and Smithy, you may play a Smithy, then play a Village (without costing an Action), then play a Smithy and so on. Kind of like Sauna and Avanto.
You don't need to play a Matchmaker to chain the cards - it's just a cheap Lab that only works with certain cards.

I'm withdrawing my previous submission, and entering a new card:Discarding a $5 is a steep price before the endgame so this will mainly be weaker Artisan early on and, with a Duchy or Province in hand, an emulator later.
(https://i.imgur.com/0xb5jOR.png)
EDIT: Fixed typo
My hunch is that this is weaker than Artisan.

Servants' Quarters $1

Setup: Add an additional Kingdom card pile of Duchies and another of Estates. Each player takes Well Served.
Well Served
State
When you buy a Victory card, gain a cheaper Victory card. When scoring, 1% per 2 Servants' Quarters you have (round up).
Adding an additional Kingdom pile that contains the same cards as an existing pile will cause too much rules confusion. And, on a practical level, it would require the set it is in to have an extra copy of Estates and Duchies to ensure that there are enough copies to do so. Which is a lot of extra cards to include for one Kingdom card.

A Victory card essentially worth .5 VP. The Victory card has the setup rules, the State each player takes has the scoring and in game rules that make you gain a cheaper Victory card whenever you buy a Victory card. Using the state makes it so I did not have to cram so many rules on a single card. Feedback is appreciated.

I think Well Served would better if it is "you may gain...", as it changes game for all players even if they don't buy Servants' Quarters. In general, I would not want to gain a Estate when I buy a Duchy, it's less VPs per card in average. It would also soften consequences for 3-pile, as it would make not automatic the Border Village effect to all Victories.
Is there any way to lose Well Served, or do all players have it for the whole game?They have it the whole game. It is a way to avoid cramming all those rules onto Servants Quarters. I guess it could grab a Landmark instead of giving a State to everyone, but that seems like a new mechanic entirely.
I don't agree with the premise that the bottom cards needs to be strong. Of the official rotating piles,Fief - $3The problem I see with this is that about half of the $6 cards in the game are weak for their cost and the bottom card of these piles wants to be strong.

Fief by FaustI was comparing to Gladiator rather than Horse Traders. Horse Traders is a pretty weak $4, and it would be even sadder without the reaction and the +Buy. Gladiator is a $3 that can also produce $3. Fief is probably a bit better because it is more reliable in the early game, but that is a feature, not a bug - the top card of a rotating pile should be powerful.
It seems lot of people liked this idea. Well, so do I. A make-your-own rotating split pile is a super cool idea, and one that I hadn’t even considered. About the implementation, though, the top card seems too strong. Compare to Horse Traders: it costs $4 and forces you to discard 2 cards, but this costs $3 and only forces you to discard 1. Also, maybe the bottom card should be $6 or greater? That would open up more possibilities. Someone also suggested making it a $2-to-$5 pile instead, which is also worth considering.
