This is most certainly too good. Even if the other players didn't need to discard, you still have a net gain of a $6 card for $4. And if you buy this multiple times, or have a discard attack, it becomes completely ridiculous.QuoteShooting Star

Gain 2 Wishes. Each other player may discard 2 cards to gain a Wish.
Fairy Godmother - $3She can grant useful boons... just make sure to be back before midnight!
Gain one Wish per other player in the game.
At the end of your next turn, each other player may return a non-Duration card you have in play to the supply.
Unrelatedly, you don't need a token if TB sets aside a copy from the pile instead (like Blockade, but returning it to the pile next turn).I thought about this, but you'd often want to Sanction empty piles, so if you disallow that it would be a significant nerf.
This is true, but I think the card would be better reworded to reflect this. The current form is not ideal anyways, as it has a dividing line that shouldn't be there. I would suggestLast!
FAQ: if blocked by Moat, you don't get to move/place the token.
I think what makes sense for Moat is that the token is still there but you don't take the debt if you blocked the attack (the debt is the attack, not an inherent feature of the token which is used for tracking).
This will be brutal Sanctioning Copper as written
Move your Sanction token to a supply pile. At the start of your next turn, take it back and +$3.The Copper sanctioning is still a problem and can lock people out of the game if you have a $5/$2 opening.
Until then, when any player plays a card from that pile, they first take 2D.
Actually, as it is worded, the attacking player puts the opponents' cards into their own play area (as there is no "leaving it there"), so that would be a pretty nasty Attack. Though it is likely not intended that way.QuoteLieutenant • $4 • Action - Command - Attack
Each other player takes their deck's top card and sets it aside face-up. You may play one face-up set aside card, if it is an...: Action, once; or Treasure, twice. Each player discards one card set aside.You can use a player's cards to take advantage of their improved deck and remove it from their use for one turn.
Discarding the top card doesn't hurt at all on average, so I wouldn't call this an Attack. (Tribute isn't an Attack either.)
Besides, I think it's very swingy, especially in 2 player games: You don't know if it’s terminal or not when playing it (same as Tribute, again), and it does nothing when only green cards are revealed. I think I'd give it at least +1 Action.
"While in play" is outdated, but moreover, it was never used on Attacks in the first place. The reason is that it would not be possible to defend against this with Moat/Lighthouse etc., since the attacking bit is not an on-play effect.

While this is in play, other players cannot play Attack cards from their hands.
The only issue being that Maggie Smith is not Scottish, I guess.Thinking about it, I'm wondering if there's a single role in the harry potter movies that really nailed it. Is there any character, even just one, who seems like they are a fantastic fit for their character?
McGonagall.
While this is similar to Exiling Attacks, it is different enough to be novel and interesting. But it is also pretty centralizing (if you don’t contest the pile and the opponent play it consistently, 10 cards stay in nirvana) and as the vanilla net effects are those of Caravan, just more delayed, this has to be nerfed somehow.I feel like it's not quite so strong. In the early game, the attack is actually a benefit more often than not (or doesn't do anything, if you aren't shuffling). If an opponent goes hard for these, that can be counteracted quite easily by getting more Coppers as fodder to remain in play. It forces you to adapt how you build your deck, but I don't think it's too centralizing.
I would make I terminal. As non-terminal, easy-gainable $3, you want the entire pile even if the attack did not exist.
Tollgate - $3
Treasure/Duration/Attack
Now and at the start of your next turn, gain a Horse.
Until then, during each other player's cleanup phase, they choose two cards they would discard from play that turn to remain in play.
Don't you know, son, that if you just multiply 23 with itself the right number of times, you eventually get -1?You just have to use your imagination!
Also is it just me or are about one third of French woman called Juliette?I didn't know you were named Juliette!
Alright, I was also thinking where in Berlin you'll be located.Do you know where you'll be staying?
yes, my best friend is living there.
It also corresponds to your local timezone.Most of the time anyways; it doesn't deal well with daylight saving time in Europe.
Hmm, Way of the Pixie goes infinite with Trail or Fortress I think.It would also give you infinite VP with Tomb.
Maybe I should change it so you trash the cards at the end of your turn. Trail could still give you infinite draw at the end of your turn, but that's less bad.
I mean, I know. This doesn't answer my question though.I feel like this could be a cool mechanic, but there is a bit of a disconnect for me here.
You say that gaining CP would eventually be as difficult as gaining a Loot, but on the examples provided for how CP might be used, their power level is more akin to a Favor token. These are two very different valuations, and I'm not sure whether the goal is to have
- CP be on a power level comparable with Loot; or
- CP be on a power level comparable to the provided examples (Henry V/Ahab).
Because I sure would much rather gain 5 Loots than use Henry V once. Hell, I would probably prefer gaining one Loot over using Henry V once.
But you start with 10-16 CP, and those initially CP are what you are mainly meant to use. At most, you start with 5 Favors, and only when Importer is in the game.
Probably because of weird issues when you throne a Duration and play it regularly first and as WotF second.Way of the Frog before a Journey turn doesn't work at all.
First there's the straightforward fact that you don't discard and hence topdeck it before your Journey turn, that's just the the normal don't-discard drawback of Journey.
But then, after your Journey turn, when discarding, you don't topdeck it either! Because it says "When you discard this from play this turn" and that never happens.
Hunh. Now I'm wondering why the wording "this turn" was used there
Some rules still are not clear to me, in particular related to throning.
Most similar to Way of the Pig, it is essentially a cantrip, but you discard a card from play after drawing, which makes the conditional +1 Action easier to activate. It also allows you to play treasures in your action phase since that seems to be all the rage nowadays.
Hopefully fixed version. A lot of words to do a relatively simple thing, but I think it works better now
Not sure if this card is elegant, will work with it more laterThis looks fun, but some suggestions:
But heres a different sort of scrap: It's probably harder to get off then scrap, but it should synergies well with imp and Conclave: since it trashes non duration cards you have in play, you could deliberately trash some cards to enable Imps abilities better. Or you could play an imp, draw into Analyst, and use analyst to trash the imp if your desperate.
Unless you have Ruins in the game, or ways to play coppers or silver, its not a good traditional trasher.QuoteAnalyst
$4 - Action
+1 Action
You may trash a Non-Duration card you have in play. Choose a different thing per $2 it costs (round down): Gain an imp; Gain an horse; Gain a card costing $1 less then it; +2 Coffers; +2 Cards
Carnival - $3

You may play one copy of each card you already have a copy of in play from your hand.
Unfortunately, I think this is now again too good. With the "gain 2 Horses", it is pretty much strictly better than Experiment.A mixture of Port and Lost city

When you gain this during your turn, you get +1 Buy, +2 Villagers, and all other players get a copy of Welcoming Village.
The pile has 1216Cards in it, since its very attractive and will probably run out fast.I don't think there has been a card that is put into OTHER PLAYERS hands, and in a good way: and so i wanted to play with that. Since its essentially a +1 Card effect, i wanted to make it feel good for the giving player, so therefore gaining it during your turn would give you a village effect.
This should be the first kind of card that GIVES other players a genuilly good card. Games with this should be plentiful with actions and draw, becoming unusual and different, maybe too quick.
The card shouldnt have a infinite loop that runs out immideatly with the "gain during your turn" clause: it would be very awkward if giving this card away once would immideatly empty its pile.
last edit before i give up on the card
Added "gain two horses" when you gain it. Considered having it say "+1 card" when you gain it, but then you could empty it way too quickly imo if you happened to draw into the workshops.
Also added a "first time you gain this during your turn" To make the pile emptying happen a bit more slowly
woo, thanks!!That should be fine; I mean, it's just another constraint for that week's challenge.
So I'd love to host the next contest, but I stopped playing after Menagerie, which means I don't know the mechanics of the last two expansions, Allies and Plunder. (I wouldn't mind looking them up, but I don't think I should judge mechanics that I haven't played with.) That means you couldn't do Favors and these other fancy new thing for one contest (but everything up to and including Menagerie is okay). I'm assuming this is fine, but if not I'm giving anyone a chance to complain before I put up the next thread.
