We have a crd that gives +10 actions that costs$4. Only limited testing atm.
I think it should cost $6* but maybe have a bunch of cards you have to go through before you get to it or something.
Politician Action, $3
+$3
For each other player, choose one of the following he may do (choices must be different):
Draw a card; Trash a card from his hand; Gain a Silver; Put his deck in his discard; Gain +1VP
Donjon (Action-Duration) $5
+4 Cards
Set aside one card from your hand. Discard it when you shuffle the next time (don't shuffle it in).
Do you get +4 Cards forever? Sounds excessively strong.
And what is the point with discarding the set aside card from your hand? Is there an idea that I am missing?
Just curious
"Duration" does not imply "do this at the start of a future turn" but "this does something in a future turn, so leave this out until it is done". Only when you play Donjon you get the +4 cards. You also set aside a card that will miss the next shuffle together with Donjon - this can be useful if it is a Victory card or something else that is annoying to draw. What you do in the future is just discarding that annoying card after you've shuffled. So Donjon itself will be discarded in the Cleanup phase of the turn when you shuffle the next time.
If you click on the link, this is the Duration version of my "queue pile" concept which lets you make cards miss the shuffle on purpose.
Thanks for the explanation!

Ah, then you get to trash it? Clever, did not think of that
But trashing it does not remove the future penalty, which is set up when you play the card (just like the future bonuses of other duration cards are).
The penalty only makes sense if you allow the coin supply to be negative at times, which no existing card does. It begs rule questions like "Am I allowed to buy Copper if I have $-1?".
How would you word it so that you understand that you get -$1 every turn?
At the start of each of your turns: -$1, then choose one: +1 Action; +1 Card; +1 Buy; +1 Coin
I have no idea if this is balanced, but man it would make for some hard decisions. Which is good unless it causes too much analysis paralysis. I mean, normally you'd want to only play it near the end, when the ongoing effect won't hurt you as much. So buy one later and use it to get that 5th Province. But on the other hand, it could be great to buy turn 1 on the right board, so that you can quickly get a couple power cards right away.
A note about wording, applies to your other card too... No need to say "the first time you play this". Duration cards are not played every turn. They are payed once, and then just affect future turns. Unless it says "At the start of each of your turns" before an effect, that effect would just be a normal one time when you play the card effect.

The wording doesn't do what you want... There's no reason from the wording to think that you would get -$1 every turn; it looks like it's only the turn that you play it.
Anyway, it looks incredibly strong. Probably a $7, if it can work. The -$1 isn't enough of a penalty to allow you to start with a 6 card hand every turn, and that's if you could only choose +1 card. On top of that you have the amazing flexibility of taking an action whenever you drew 2 terminals, or just taking a buy if you have a great engine that has no buys otherwise.
In general, when we want to talk about coins on this site, we just use $.
Woodcutter
+1 buy

Does it have to gain the card? I don't think you want people to activate Border Village's ability or do Watchtower stuff with the gained card when they play this.
One extra use for it: You are trying to win the Minion (or some other) split. There is only one left, but you can't afford it. Claivoyant it, just to keep it out of reach until its your next turn!
