My entries: (mine will be later)
I may have added the option to come with multiple ideas. This doesn't mean, however, that you have to. If you have no good ideas for Mine, I'd prefer it if you skip the card (it ain't gonna boost your chances for winning the contest).
- a heirloom for an existing cardAn heirloom for an existing card was literally last week's contest...
- a card that uses an existing card as a heirloom
- a treasure that costs
- a card that thematically fits it's name
Still, no card should be strictly better than another.

When you gain or discard this, you may set aside a Copper from your hand or in play. If you do, at the start of your next turn, play it.
The text might be a bit clunky, but I'm happy with the concept. It's like Baker but can't be used until t2, so you might have:
$3, $5
$4, $4
$5, $3
or
$2, $5
Woodcutter is removed and terrible. Plus, you need to basically pay extra for the effect.
Strictly better than woodcutter

This doesn't solve the problem with spy that it takes too long to resolveQuoteSpy - $4
Action - Attack
+1 Action
Look at the top 3 cards of your deck. Put one in your hand and discard the rest.
Each other player reveals the top card of their deck, and discards it or puts it back, your choice.
Just a bit of a buff to the personal card selection/sifting. Vanilla Spy is actually pretty popular in my game group, but we do acknowledge it is not very powerful. I think this change would make it very desirable just for the non-attack effect.
I think its been mentioned before, but why the fate type? It doesn't give boons.
(You're allowed to immediately gain the phoenix back after it trashes itself)
You should allow this to gain trashed Victory cards. I know that'd normally be taboo but it's a potion-cost card and they can break the rules in fun ways.
Submission:QuoteHaunted Cruise -- Event -- 0$
Once per turn: +1 Buy, and Exile and Curse and a Copper from the supply. At the start of your next turn, put a card you have in Exile into your hand.
QuoteRecycle - Event, $3 cost.Instead of a $3 gain like a Silver, you can get 2 cards, $2, or a $4, something useful whenever you want to pop it. Change the role of your gainers, only once per turn so Trader isn't broken. The $4 and $3 costs referred to are exactly those costs, not 'up to' them.
Choose one: +2 Cards; or + $2; or gain a card costing $4.

In games using this: once per turn, when you gain a card costing $3, you may return it to its pile and get this.
This is busted. +1 Action +1 Card is already ghost town, so add in the $ and it is already worth 3$ even without the attack and the play-on-gain.
This can add something to your opening, and mess with other players' openings in return. I want to make this a $3 so opponents can open with it in response to you opening with it. I'm comparing this to Enchantress and Ghost Town. The attack is weaker than Enchantress, but the duration effect is arguably stronger. It seems stronger than ghost town, but (except for when you first buy it) it's a terminal.
I could make it a night card and up it to $4, but that seems to make opening 4/3 vs. 3/4 matter too much.
