Introducing Band of Outcasts. Thanks for help from all below. I've up-ed it to +$3 but removed the 'may' from the buy option, forcing you to use at least $2 on an action (except in the very rare case when there's no actions less than $4). It'll try and test it out now...
OLD INFO BELOW - PLEASE SEE ATTACHED CARD IMAGE INSTEAD
Played a great game last night:
Vagrant, Embargo
Shanty Town
Procession, Rats, Salvager, Armory
Band of Misfits, Count
Altar
And it inspired me with two new ideas (not sure they are that original):
First based on procession/throne room. It is basically a throne room played over two turns. It's worded this way as I think it'll still work (I think) when you play it on itself (for example).
[b]$5? Action-Duration[/b]
Choose an action card from your hand.
Gain a copy of it, place it on this [name of this card] and play it at the start of your next turn,
Play the action card and return it to it's supply pile.
Second is based on Band of Misfits:
[b]$4? Action[/b]
Play any number of treasure cards from your hand as you would in your buy phase.
Play this as if it were an action card in the Supply costing the $ value generated by the treasure cards + $2.
This is that card until it leaves play.
NB: You then can't use those treasure cards to buy anything. I'm not sure I've got the balance of this second card quite right, but I do really like the idea. (I originally didn't have the +$2, but it seemed a bit weak then).
