Portioning

Needle Peddler
$5 - Action
+1 Card
+1 Action
+$1
Reveal the top card of your deck. If it's a Needle or a Province, put it in your hand.
-
Setup: Add an unused kingdom card to the supply to be the Needle cards.
I'm assuming looters aren't the spirit of this contest, even though they add a pile to the kingdom?Looters add a pile to the supply, but not to the kingdom. Ruins are not a kingdom card.
No. fixed.I like weird stuff, like cards that play other cards, and cards that don't do the same thing every time you play them. So, a Band of Misfits variant:You sure that you want this to be able to play Command cards?
(I think I submitted an older version of this card to a previous contest some time ago.)QuoteDoppleganger
$4 - Action - Command
Turn your Journey token over. If it's face-up, play any Action card in the supply, leaving it there. Otherwise, play the True Form card, leaving it there. If the card you played cost $5 or more, take <1> debt.
-
Add an unused non-Command Action card costing $3 or $4 to the game to be the True Form card.
FAQ: The True Form card is not in the supply.
Another version of this card allowed the True Form card to cost anything $3 and up, so if the True form card cost $5 or more, you'd take debt when the journey token was face down. I never actually tested it with a $5 True card, but it seems like it might be too strong even with the debt if it was a strong $5.
DopplegangerEDIT: added "non-Command"
$4 - Action - Command
Turn your Journey token over. If it's face-up, play a non-Command Action card in the supply, leaving it there. Otherwise, play the True Form, leaving it there. If the card you played cost $5 or more, take <1> debt.
-
Add an unused non-Command Action card costing $3 or $4 to the game to be the True Form card.
<modded Crypt>I like the idea, but I'd suggest making it a cantrip instead of +2 Cards. That makes its effect more similar to the original version, but still a significant buff.
Road BuilderEDIT: added 'besides during clean-up'
$4 - Action - Reaction
Discard up to 2 cards for +$2 per card discarded.
-
When a card gives you +Buy, you may play this from your hand.
When you discard this besides during clean-up, you may reveal it for +1 Card and +1 Buy.
Trade Route(I don't mind having a card share a name with a removed card.)
$6 - Action - Duration
Now and at the start of next turn: +1 Card and +1 Buy, then discard a card and for the rest of the turn, cards that share a type with the discarded card cost $2 less.
Cursed HeirloomHex token rules:
$4 - Action-Duration
Now and at the start of your next turn: Choose one: +$1, or Play an Action card from your hand twice and take 2 hex tokens.
-
When you discard this from play, if the Curse pile isn't empty and you have 4 or more hex tokens, return one and gain a Curse.
You are correct, i neglected the event's cost. I still prefer the second one, but i'd just have the Province provide 6VP at most since removing from your deck is already a benefit and more so the sooner you do it. Since the event cost $4, i'd have the debt taken as 5. Are you going to make a choice soon?Oh yeah I need to make a decision between them before the contest closes. I'll go with the second one then. (I'll edit my OP to make it clear.)
I prefer the second one, but i'd just have the Province cost $1 less in the trash. Debt is too easy for anyone to take and reducing by 2 is already generous. Since there are often times when you have $7 without anything costing $7. It would be nice to occasionally have a Province to gain as an option.You're leaving out the cost of the event. With this event, gaining a Province from the trash is essentially $4 + <6>debt.
General
Should this cost 6 or 7?
<garbage collector Traveller line>
Door to the Land of the Dead

Door to the Land of the Dead
$4 - Event
Once per turn, choose one: Trash a Province from your hand for +7 VP, or gain a Province from the trash and take <6> debt.
-
In games using this, if a turn ends with at least 3 Provinces in the trash, end the game.
OfferingNot sure about the cost, is it too cheap?
$2 - Event
Trash a card from your hand. +1 VP equal to half its cost in coins (round down).
Each other player may trash a card from their hand. If anyone else does, +1 VP.
<judging>You judge a bit harshly, and I think have weird/possibly mistaken views on some of these. For instance:
Transport a Treasure Map into Exile, then onto your deck. ThenAbout the worst Trait, just found Hasty Treasure Map.
There’s a few ways you can still pull it off, but they require specific other things to be in the Kingdom, like Watchtower.
I would let Will(ow/iam) be the judge of that. This card does something by making you more likely to keep Esates or go for some other early green to block the curse.QuoteForbidden ForestIf Forbidden Forest is in the kingdom, will you make more green for defense?
Victory -
2
-
When you gain this, each other player gains a Curse unless they reveal a Victory card from their hand.
This card doesn't fit the theme of the contestThis week's challenge is to Design a card (not a landscape) that does something even if nobody buys/uses it.

<Mule>I hesitated a moment before upvoting this only because you had 4 posts and 4 respect and I'd be changing that number.
Sometimes a mule is a good horse, and sometimes it's just a mule.
