I'm aware of the Stop-Moving wall, of course. But it doesn't seem to apply in this case.
It's not playing Throne Room that puts the card in play; Throne Room plays the card, and then playing the card puts it in play.
Surely, if we argue that Throne Room can determine that playing Smithy will result in it being in play, we can also argue that Throne Room can determine that playing Embargo will result in it being in the Trash? Why would Throne Room know one but not the other?
An issue with this might be the size of the Horse pile. It only takes 5 Farrier plays revealing Gold to empty to empty the pile. In a multiplayer game, that could leave one player perpetually stranded without Horses.
It's not that difficult to empty the Horse pile in certain Kingdoms with Livery as well, for what it's worth. In any case, it's unlikely to happen before your first Farrier play (each of your opponents would need to play Farrier, reveal a high cost card, and not play any Horses in order to empty the pile).
That said, maybe a cost limitation on the revealed card wouldn't hurt to minimize the risk of snowballing. For instance, if you're already ahead and were able to buy a Colony, revealing it with Farrier to gain 11 Horses increases the chances of you being able to find both Farrier and Colony again in subsequent turns.
Victory cards are not targets of Farrier. A cost limitation might be difficult in the context of the rules of this contest round.
Oh right, I missed that wording on the card regarding the limitation to Actions and Treasures. I think you would still face the same potential issue if you are able to reveal a Platinum though.
Cost limitation could be achieved with something along the lines of "costing less than this" in order to fit the contest rules, but it might not be what's optimal for the card.
Yeah I put treasure or action to exclude province specifically. Plat Colony boards are rare, and in that case I'm okay with this card being bonkers. It's not the only thing that greatly benefits from certain kingdoms. I actually thought about saying something like "costing less than this" but in order for the card not to be total garbage, it would have to cost 5 or 6, and then it might be too expensive....idk. A $6 one might be fine. I'll think about it a bit but for now I'll leave it how it is
Yeah, “Costing less than this” would make it too weak unless it was buffed somehow. Another option could be to discard the revealed card (so if you do reveal a Platinum, you would possibly lose the chance to play it in the same turn).

After drawing your next hand, trash a card from your hand.
Does this qualify? It's pretty simple, it can be a plain +3 actions, a village, a lab, or a Smithy. It will never be super strong, but it is super flexible.
Edit: I changed it from being able to spend 3 actions to 4. Now it feels like it actually cares about the previous actions you have. Previously it might as well have said "choose one: +3 actions, +2 actions +1 card, +2 cards +1 action, or +3 cards"

How does the sequence of play work? Does the player need to decide at once how many Actions they will spend, or can they spend an Action, draw a card, and then decide if they want to spend more Actions?

Who on here is trainer name lifeshonanstyle? I can't remember. Anyway, we are lucky friends now LOL. Does us no good since we have to be near each other to trade.
That's me. I saw that. I have a number of lucky friends I don't know IRL who live in other countries. Funny though.
, I was just being dumb I guess. Looking forward to the fixed version! It should make these threads with the new cards much better
I just read the Invest event.
I have not...mind editing the text into the OP?
Check out the Chrome extension for card autolink! Especially useful shortly after a new set releases.

I'm 90% sure that's not how that works, but then I'm 70% sure that's the joke.
