Cardinal/Gatekeeper and KnightsSame for the Prizes and, most of the time, the Castles, not that you really want Castles in your deck most of the time.
At least trashing attacks give you the potential to get your Knight back with Lurker or Graverobber. Exiling a Knight means they’re gone forever.
Extra painful for Sir Vander. Now you can’t even get a lousy Gold!
Non-terminal boon givers don't play well, they tend to slow down games, especially as cantrips.

Download the image and put it into Imgur, then copy the address of the image in Imgur and put that in.Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but how do you insert pictures into a reply?
use the [ img ] [/ img ] tags (without spaces) around the url to the image file.
Better yet, press the "Quote" button on a post with an image and see how they did it.
Where do I get this url? I am using https://shardofhonor.github.io/dominion-card-generator to make the cards.
I thought the idea was to create cards that can also stand on their own. That's what I did, anyways. There is unfortunately no flavor connection, but what can you do? Maybe the tribe breeds horses, who knows.Stud Farm should probably let you play treasures so it's not dead on certain boards.

Tribal Village is a very simple concept that Dominion does not have so far. Stud Farm is a Storyteller variant, but it plays quite differently. Both have a +2 Vanilla bonus, which is neat.
They buy it to get to Fortune, mostly, not because it's particularly good, and there's something to be said for consistency. You can control what's in your hand much better than the top of your deck.A little. But people buy Gladiator for $3 all the time, and this would be a slightly better Gladiator most of the time.I think this raises the question, would Harvest be balanced at a 4 cost? There are stronger payload options, such as Bridge and cards that give equal or greater coin amounts, like Baron and Death Cart, both of which you can actually control the activation of semi-consistently.
It would be weak at a 4 cost.
My mistake, I meant Spice Merchant.It's also better, albeit not strictly, than Junk Dealer because it has no treasure restriction and Exiles cards which is very usually better than trashing.While you are correct, a small detail is that this is not strictly better than Lab. A Lab never hurts whereas this might. Or in others words, although Pony is better than Lab, you want more Labs than Ponies.QuotePony (Action, Cost $4)

Stronger than Laboratory, for less cost. Also compare to Junk Dealer; stronger than that for less cost. This Pony as written could possibly work at.
Of course practically speaking, just like you can trash the second Junk Dealer via the first, you can exile the second Pony via the first. And as Pony can exile green, it is longer useful than Junk Dealer.
Did you mean to say Junk Dealer?

Yes, that's a wording issue. I'll fix that.Did you mean "Exiles a Silver from Supply"? Otherwise it is not that friendly and has an accountability problem.
This one's a play on the "Advisor" theme, but I actually like it. I added a card cost clause to it because I suspect it's more interesting and balanced on more boards with it than without. For example, if it's only able to target $4 or $5 actions, this can be huge, but maybe there's a really awkward Explorer or Trading Post on the board. Usually it would just hit another $3, but at least there aren't any boards where it's a $2 action or worse, Ruins. Might even work with cost reduction on other boards now.The main issue is with forced trashers, i.e. Remake, which means this can be very harmful on certain boards, or just dead.Supervisor
Action-Command
$3
The player to your left chooses a non-Command Action card from the Supply costing at least $3. Play it, leaving it there.
It is a Bazaar variant and likely too good.I think it's probably delayed enough that it's balanced. It doesn't benefit you at all until the turn after you play it.
There should be a dividing line between the victory points and the on buy. Also, the fact that the effect is on buy means you can gain it with workshop variants and never have to increase the price. Nitpicks aside, it's a good concept.
Archipelago
$6* - Victory

When you buy this, Exile a Treasure card from play, and you can Exile a Victory card from hand.
(This costs $2 less if you have no Coppers in Exile)
This is the first time I've ever participated in one of these contests, so please excuse any mistakes I make thanks to my noobness. Anyways, here's my idea. Probably needs some tweaks but I think it's interesting.This adds a good amount of strategic nuance, and elegantly solves the double lab problem. I like it.
EDIT: changed the card.
Good job! I think stabbing is a really exciting new mechanic. Donald X has once said that one of his goals with dominion was to make losing fun. I don't think he has quite succeeded, but this might just do the trick.I saw a card idea (though I can't remember where) that had you tickle the other player, and the idea for the online implementation was to have the other player tickle themself, so maybe that's worth considering?
It's also very elegant in that it's conceptually simple, yet it adds a lot of hidden complexity to the game. For example, if you play a bo5 against another player, it introduces an alternative win condition. You can either try to win 3 games, or you can try to stab your opponent a sufficient number of times.
The only thing that worries me is the online implementation, but shuffle IT has proven themselves to be quite capable. I think they will be up to the task.
Cost increases are probably fine as a card like this, but it should have some clarifying text to specify how it works with cost reduction. Also, the Livery interaction is a problem, unless you clarify cards in the supply. However, that has its own issues.Law 3: Increasing costs has rules issues and is confusing with cost reduction.
Having that as a card effect would indeed cause confusion with cost reduction, but I don't think that applies to a Law. It seems clear that a Law would change the "base" cost of cards; it would be the new starting point of a cost before applying any reductions. Meaning that if you played a Bridge or Highway, Coppers would cost; there's no question about if you should first apply the cost reduction, and then increase the cost due to the Law.
However, this Law does completely break Livery; with this Law in place, every time you play Livery you gain the entire Horse pile.
