Well, I don't know if it's exactly good that you win a Tournament and get a Princess on top of your, ahem...deck (running joke at my game night), or a Mine can come along and trash a Harem for money, but, that's another story.

And, this was an actual card I had in an expansion I did awhile back; it was not well loved and only was interesting in multiplayer games...

Chain Lightning - $6

When you play this card, trash a card from your hand.  Each successive player to the left (except you) trashes a card from their hand worth at least $1 more than the card that the previous person trashed, or reveals a hand with no such cards.  If any player reveals a hand this way, the action is resolved.

Watchtower does read when you "gain" a card you may put it on top of your deck so buying a card then immediately returning it may take precedence, although its arguable.

[guided]

Watchtower does read when you "gain" a card you may put it on top of your deck so buying a card then immediately returning it may take precedence, although its arguable.

Well, "immediately" is a meaningless term in Dominion. It occurs to me though that you're at least half right: as written this is an on-buy effect, so the "return" happens between the "buy" and the "gain". Which means ultimately this card text doesn't actually do anything: You buy the card, then return the card (no effect since it's still on the supply pile), then gain the card anyway as an effect of buying it. So really the timing of this effect needs to be on-gain rather than on-buy, with a stipulation that it only applies to cards that have been bought. "When you gain a card by buying it, return it to the supply." Ta-da!

When you have a Royal Seal in play, the two on-gain effects are simultaneous, so you can choose whether to put the card on your deck first or return it first. Now we wade off into the weeds because we need Donald's "lose track" rule from an arcane BGG thread, and the rule hasn't been finalized to account for cases like this*. But regardless of your interpretation, you can ultimately choose to put the card on top of your deck or back on the pile by choosing the order of the two effects and possibly choosing not to use Royal Seal's power.

Hehe, rules lawyering over silly bad-idea card effects is fun


*Currently the only real-game effects of the "lose track" rule center around Throning or Kinging a Mining Village. Grossly simplified, TR and KC can't move Mining Village back from the trash to the play area because they can't find it there, and a TR'd or KC'd Mining Village can't trash itself more than once because it can't find itself in the trash. Possession adds a slight wrinkle, but the effect is the same: none of these cards can find a Mining Village in Possession's fake trash pile either.

Yeah, I figured. I guess that speaks about how jaded I am that I immediately think of beggars of not going away once they receive money.

Then again, you do capture the idea since a beggar typically takes the money and leaves. He eventually comes back.

[Davio]

I can't help myself: Possession, how is this not an Attack? Especially coupled with Masquerade or Ambassador in your opponent's hand.
A card that needs an entire page in the rulebook can't possibly be good...

And Black Market, I'm glad this is a Promo card, we don't all have every expansion so the Black Market deck in live games may not always be really representable. I also don't like the luck factor.
With no trashers in the normal kingdom, you find a Witch in there and I find a Bureaucrat, gg.

Philosopher's Stone? Slows the game down way too much.

Ok, so much for the existing cards, notice how 2 are from Alchemy? The worst set, no surprise there.


Now some examples of awful imaginary cards. To be truly awful, a card has to do at least one and maybe more than one of these things:
- Increase variance/luck (and frustration levels)
- Be too dominant (a must buy regardless of setup)
- Be utterly useless
- Need a page long FAQ
- Be subtle, there's no fun making a card that instantly wins or loses the game for you


Vial of Poison
Cost: 2
Treasure - Duration

+ 5$
Once played, this card will not be cleaned up for the entire game.
Every following turn the $ value decreases by one.

Why? Because you will likely need this early in the game, because you don't have much money then, but when played in turn 3, by turn 10, its value is already -$2.


Medusa
Cost: 4
Action - Attack

+1 Action
Pick a player, this player loses his turn, but may set aside 3 cards from his hand and take them in hand the next turn.

Why? Donald hates targeting a singe player. Most attacks / actions target every player or the player to your left. Spam this every turn and your opponent will be paralyzed.


Leech
Cost: 5
Action - Attack

The player to your left reveals and discards the top two cards from his deck. Gain a card costing exactly the same as the other two cards together.

Why? Extremely luck dependent. Have your opponent turn over 2 Coppers and gain a Copper, have him turn over a Province and a Copper and gain a Province.
Have him turn over a Province and an Estate and gain nothing.

Miser
$2 - Action
+$4, -1 Buy

I'm not sure it's that bad of an idea, but it is kind of silly: Particularly because of how it's purely combo dependent and useless by itself. If it's in a 10-card setup without any +1 Buy's, it's wasting space.

During your Buy phase, you may remove 10 Mango tokens from your Mango Tree mats.  If you do, gain a Treasure card.

This made me laugh, like a lot. Mango is a funny word.

[kazztawdal]

Setup: Each player is assigned a color and takes 10 Stock tokens of that color.

Stock - $X
When you buy Stock, choose any card in the game with at least one card remaining in its pile.

Stock costs as much to buy as the number of cards remaining in that pile.  Place one of your Stock tokens on that pile and trash this card.

Whenever somebody gains a card from a pile with one of your Stock tokens on it, you gain 1 VP token.  When that pile is empty, take back your Stock token.

During your Buy phase, you may remove any number of your Stock tokens.  You gain +$X, where X is the number of cards remaining in that pile.

Monument and Bishop aren't broken in the same way as Goons here. Example: Village, Village, Goons, Goons, Deal with the Devil/Goons, playing it enough times to buy every card in the supply.

Or I mean, just play DwtD/Bridge and buy all the VP cards that way. Hey, it was billed as a really bad card idea after all!

[Deadlock39]

I don't remember my exact thought when I was considering playing goons an infinite amount of times, but I wasn't thinking that they would stack up and get infinite VP tokens per buy.  It would break even on the VPs since you get an extra buy for each one.  Even without more Goons in play (guided's example) you can play it 46 times to buy all the Copper and generate $92 plus 8 times to buy all the Estates, and then 7 more times to get the buys (+1 initial) for all 8 Colonies or Provinces. (or however many are left since it is a prize and at least one Province would be gone.)

I suppose Bridge is the most broken since it would generate the buys to get all the VP cards (except Estate since you would just break even on those), and eliminate the need to generate large amounts of money.

Edit:
Monument and Bishop are cool since you can generate infinite money (and a few VP's by trashing your whole hand with Bishop), but they don't generate the buys needed for the insta-win.

When you play Cattle Ranch as an action, choose one:
* Move any or all of your Calf tokens to the Pasture mat.
* Remove one Grass token for each Calf token on the Pasture mat, and then replace each Calf token with a Cow token.
* Roll the Weather die, and place the resulting number of Grass tokens on the Pasture mat (possible results are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, requiring a balanced 5-sided die)
* Move any or all of your Cow tokens from the Pasture mat to the Barn mat.
* Add one Calf token to the Barn mat for every Cow token on the Barn mat, minus one.
* Move any or all of your Cow tokens from the Pasture mat to the Slaughterhouse mat.
* Collect 1 VP token for each Cow token on the Slaughterhouse mat, and remove those tokens. (slaughtering for beef)
* Collect +$1 for each pair of Cow tokens on the Barn mat, rounding down. (milking)

So in summary: play a game of Agricola on the side when you play this card.

Or just forge into it. You can still gain these cards, after all.

Armageddon:

Play this reaction only to an opponent playing either an action or a treasure. Drop this card from at least 3 feet above the playing surface. Once Armageddon lands, the opponent trashes all cards in contact with it, exluding cards from his deck or discard pile. Discard this card from your hand once you play it as a reaction.

If armageddon is in your hand at the start of your turn, place your hand, deck and discard pile into the trash pile.

[jsh357]

This thread makes me wonder if there'll ever be a "Dominion Unglued."

[Scott Pilgrim]

Shrubbery
Type: Action-Attack-Victory
Cost: $4
VP: 2

All players reveal their hand. If a player reveals a Shrubbery, they must give it to you. Any players who do not reveal a Shrubbery gain a curse and a copper.

[HLennartz]

I think this card would make games a lot less interesting:

Patron
$5
Action
+$3

Now every deck can be 100% big money. I think it could make the choice of deck strategy much more uniform and boring.

[play2draw]

After all of the planned Dominion expansions come out, I'd love to see Donald/RGG put out one additional release containing only the most flawed and broken cards that were playtested (but still loved).

[rinkworks]

I love the gameplay value that Grand Market's "no Copper" clause adds, so I thought of a few more cards along those lines:

Black Lab
$5 - Action
+1 Card, +1 Action.  Gain the top card of the Black Market deck and put it in your hand.
You may not buy this if you have any treasures in play other than Silver.

Grand Herbalist
$3 - Action
+1 Buy, +$2.  When you discard this from play, you may put one of your Treasures from play on top of your deck.
You may not buy this if you have more than one card of the same cost in play.

Mount Bank
$8 - Treasure/Attack
Each other player reveals their hands.  +$ equal to the number of Treasure cards revealed.  Then each player gains a Curse and a Copper.
You may only buy this if you have at least three Pearl Divers (from Dominion: Seaside) in play.

Peddlest
$5 - Action
If the cost of Peddler is exactly $5 when you play this, gain all of the remaining Peddler cards.
You may only buy this if the cost of Peddler is exactly $3.

Queen's Court
$7 - Action
You may choose an action card from your hand.  Play it, oh, two times.  No wait, four.  I've changed my mind again.  Three times.  Maybe three and a half.
You may only buy this with a credit card.

Master Stash
$6 - Treasure
$2.  When you shuffle, you may put this card anywhere in your deck, in someone else's deck, in someone else's hand, in any supply pile, or the box.
You may not buy this unless the number of cards on your Pirate Ship mat is equal to the number of coins on the Trade Route mat.

[AJD]

I like combining existing cards based on analogies of the names. Some of them kind of make sense—

Grand Bazaar: $6 action
+$2
+2 actions
+1 card
You can't buy this if you have any copper in play

—and some totally don't make sense—

Ad-loan-er: $4 action
Dig for two treasure cards and trash or discard both of them

—and some are really overpowered—

Fish Market: $5 action–duration
+$2
+1 action
+1 buy
At the beginning of your next turn, +$2 and +1 buy

—or underpowered—

Young Minion: $4 action–attack
+1 action
choose one: +$2 and discard two cards,
or discard your hand, +2 cards, and all other players must either discard their hands and draw 4 or reveal a Bane card.

[chwhite]

I love the gameplay value that Grand Market's "no Copper" clause adds, so I thought of a few more cards along those lines:

Ha.  Along similar lines, possible entries for Dominion Mini, the littlest expansion of them all:

Pony
$4 Action-Booby Prize
Choose one: +2 Cards, +2 Actions, +$2, or Gain 2 Silvers and put your deck in your discard pile.  If you play Tournament and an opponent reveals a Province, you may gain Pony and put it on the bottom of your deck.

High School
$1P
+2 Actions.  Gain an Action costing up to $4.

Microwave Dinner
$2
Trash this card.  Gain a card costing up to $3.

[kazztawdal]

Copper Strip Mine
$3

Put your deck and discard pile into your hand.  Trash every card in your hand except for Copper Mines, Coppers, Victory cards, and Curse cards.  Each of your opponents may gain their choice of 1 of the cards trashed this way.

+1 Buy for each card trashed this way.

[nubs]

Nipple Tweak - $3
Gain a Curse.
Gain a Gold.

[Glooble]

Had some more ideas, decided to revive this thread.

First some victory cards:

Unfairgrounds

Worth 12 VP for every card in your deck, but only to the first player who gains one. To everyone else, its a curse.

Complicated Math

Worth 1 VP for each Duke in your deck. Minus 1 VP for each Duchy.

And a new entry for the drinking game expansion:

Beer Garden

At the end of the game, count your deck. If you're still sober enough to do this +10 VP.

[play2draw]

This one came in my head yesterday:

Printing Money - $4 - Treasure
$1
+1 buy
When you buy a card, +$1

[Glooble]

Wishing Map
+ 1 Card

Name a card. Reveal the top card of your deck. If it's the named card, trash Wishing Map gain 4 copies of that card on your deck.

[ehunt]

+1 action, +2 coins, +1 buy:

Bland Market? Eh-stival? Or Goodcutter?

[Glooble]

$7 Recursive Treasure Map
+1 Action

Trash this card and another Recursive Treasure Map. If you do, choose one: Gain 4 Gold on top of your deck, or gain four Recursive Treasure Maps on top of your deck.

$6 Spin the Bottle
Action - Attack

Trash a card from your hand. If it's an Action card, each player gains a curse. If it's a Treasure card, each player takes a shot. If it's a Victory card, each player removes an article of clothing.

[chwhite]

+1 action, +2 coins, +1 buy:

Bland Market? Eh-stival? Or Goodcutter?

I've proposed this card before with the title "Stonemasons", working off of analogy with any number of games where you can build stuff with wood as a resource, but you can build better stuff with stone.

BTW I think there are at least 50/50 odds that not only will this card show up in one of the remaining sets, but that it will be the one and only entirely vanilla card to do so.  (I suppose +3 Cards +1 Buy for $5 is also a reasonable if unspectacular candidate.)

[AJD]

+1 action, +2 coins, +1 buy:

Bland Market? Eh-stival? Or Goodcutter?

I've proposed this card before with the title "Stonemasons", working off of analogy with any number of games where you can build stuff with wood as a resource, but you can build better stuff with stone.]

Based on the pattern established by later expansions, it's always kind of struck me as a shame that Festival isn't called "Logging Village" or something like that.

[Titandrake]

Turbo
Cost: $7
Each other player draws or discards cards until they have the same number of cards in hand that you do.

Draw cards equal to the number of cards in your hand.

Golem + Tactician + Turbo = Happy opponents

[ChaosRed]

Fear & Self-Loathing
Trash a card costing 5 or more in your hand, gain a card costing 3 or less.

Helter Skelter
If you have 4 or more cards in your hand, return your entire hand to the supply pile, if you do, gain a card of your choice from the Supply then trash it immediately. Each other player must reveal their hand, if they have one more copies of the trashed card, they must trash one in their hand or return one in their hand to the Supply pike (they choose). 

Spiteful Bastard
Choose a card in the Supply, gain 2 copies of it and trash them immediately. Gain -1VP.

This next set could be fun...requires all of the cards to be on the board for setup though:

Leper
Gain a Curse
Worth 1VP for every 2 Curses in your deck.

Leper Colony
Gain a Leper
Worth 1VP for every 2 Lepers in your deck.

Alms for Lepers
Reveal your hand. If you have one more Leper cards in your hand choose one:
Gain a Leper Colony
or
Gain 2 Curses

Burn them All
Trash every Leper and Leper Colony in your hand. +1VP for each trashed card. Gain a Curse and then a Leper
and then a Leper Colony.

[Jack Rudd]

Fear & Self-Loathing
Trash a card costing 5 or more in your hand, gain a card costing 3 or less.

That's actually quite a playable card. You need to be careful with it, mind.

[ChaosRed]

It's true, at times a 5-card becomes old/stale as the board changes.

[Jack Rudd]

It's true, at times a 5-card becomes old/stale as the board changes.

It can do, though there aren't too many. The scenario I was envisaging was the one where you have no cost-5 cards in hand and so it just becomes "Action: gain a Silver (or whatever)".

[ChaosRed]

Right, it should have the classic, "if you do" in the syntax. I was thinking more like trashing your Mine once your Coppers all nicely mined and deciding a Village might be more pleasant. Of course, that's pretty narrow and other upgrade cards give you that flexibility already.

[Titandrake]

Once Again With Style
Cost: $7
Action
Each player trashes all cards they own. Each player, starting with you, takes 10 cards of his or her choice from the supply. This is that player's new starting deck.

You know, if you limit it to non-victory cards, it might not be half bad. Still insane though.

[Glooble]

Merchant Ghost Pirate Ship
Action – Attack –Duration
$8

+2 Cards
+$2

Each other player reveals the top 2 cards of his deck, trashes a revealed Treasure that you choose, discards the rest, and if anyone trashed a Treasure you take a Coin token. Each other player with 4 or more cards in hand puts cards from his hand on top of his deck until he has 3 cards in his hand.

On your next turn, +$2 and +$1 per Coin token you’ve taken with Merchant Ghost Pirate Ships this game.

[def]

Not too crazy since Pirate Ships strength comes from multiple attacks, which shouldn't be possible this easy with the high cost.

[dysprog]

Infinite Fun
$5
Action - Attack
+1 vp
-1 buy
Each other player gains a curse
each other player discards down to 2

When Infinite Fun is gained or played, place a pain token on the boredom mat.
For each pain token on the boredom mat, all cards in supply (except Infinite Fun) cost +$1
For each pain token on the boredom mat,  Infinite Fun cost -$1

[hypercube]

Devil's Auction
Action - Curse - $7
-3 VP
-----------------
All other players participate in an auction, bidding whole numbers
The "winner" reduces their total VP by the number they bid by some combination of gaining Curses and trashing VP from their hand/deck/discard/mats/tokens
If the "winner" is unable to do this they trash their entire hand, deck, discard, mats, and tokens
The "losers" of the auction reveal their hand and pass all Treasure cards revealed to your hand
If no one bids all other players are "losers"

Dynastic Succession
Action - $3
------------------
Total the cost of your hand
Return your hand to the Supply
Gain cards of non-zero cost into your hand whose total cost is less than or equal to half of the cost of the hand you returned, rounded down

Pyrrhic Victory
Action - Attack - $5
------------------
Each other player discards down to 3 cards in hand
------------------
While Pyrrhic Victory is in play, during your Clean-up phase you draw zero cards (instead of 5) and may gain a Victory card costing up to the cost of Pyrrhic Victory

Tabloid
Action - Duration - $2
------------------
While Tabloid is in play turn your deck upside-down, and during your Clean-up phase you draw 4 cards (instead of 5)
You may discard Tabloid at any time during your turn

That would be an awesome card with bishop, apprentice or forge.

Here is my entry, which I have not playtested yet since I want to keep my friends.



Brick
Reaction - 1$
When another player gains a card,
you may reveal this from your hand,
shout a catchphrase and throw it. 
If you hit him while he is touching the
gained card, you gain that card instead.
——————————
The first player who touches Brick
after it has been thrown gains it,
putting it in their hand.



An additional rule i considered: If you draw blood with your hit: +2vp
But I ran out of room on the card.

FAQ for brick:
- in case of multiple players throwing bricks, only the first one to hit succeeds
- first you shout the catch phrase, then throw! So no sneak attacks. Feel free to use "SNEAK ATTACK" as your catchphrase though.
- A brick that missed its target may be claimed by any player, by touching it. A brick that hits is automatically claimed by the victim, since that counts as a touch.
- If a brick throw succeeds, the thrower gains a card. So the victim may throw the same brick back in response to that gain event.

It turned out a little too wordy, but i am not sure how to shorten the text further.

"He is going for the provinces! Get 'im boys!"

Hmm, I guess Jack of All Salvages would be:
$4 - Action
+1 Buy. +$1. You may discard the top card of your deck. Draw up to 5 cards in hand. You may trash a card that is not a Treasure.

Not sure yet what, say, Horse Bishops would do, though.

And the Trusty Noble Pawn Steward lets you choose two of them!

[AJD]

Not sure yet what, say, Horse Bishops would do, though.

I guess it would have to be:
+$1. +1 Buy. Discard two cards. Gain an Estate.

...Well, this is the bad card ideas thread.

[timchen]

Young Woodcutter
$2 - Action
+1 Buy.  +$2.  -$2.

I really like this one. Similarly:

Young Embassy:
$4 - Action
+5 cards. discard 3 cards. +3 cards.
---
When you gain this, every one else gain a silver, than discard a silver from hand, or show a hand with no silvers.

Maybe this should be named Old Embassy?

Ghost Merchant Ship
$5 - Action-Duration-Attack

...What, you didn't like Mining Mine?

I think I recall from the Secret Histories that something like this is more or less what Cutpurse started out as (although with $1; –$2 is really really strong, I think).

Yeah, I remember that.  I think this would in practice be different enough from Cutpurse- a guaranteed hit on income, and the fact it doesn't actually reduce your opponents hands would make it play very differently with things like sifting, trashing, and Library/Watchtower/Menagerie.  And I've long pined for a Duration-Attack, though apparently enough playtesters disliked the timing and concept to consign it to the dustbin.

[Kirian]

Young Steward - $2 - Action
Choose one:  $1, or +1 Card, or trash a card from your hand.

Walled City - $6 - Action
+1 Card, +2 Actions.  If there is an empty supply pile, +1 Card; if there are two, +$1, +1 Buy.  At the start of your Cleanup, if you have this and no more than one other Action in play, you may put this on top of your deck.

Fool's Copper - $0 - Treasure - Reaction
If this is the first time you have played Fool's Copper this turn, is it worth -$1.  Otherwise, it is worth $2.
----
When another player gains an Estate, you may trash this card from your hand.  If you do, gain a Copper, putting it on your deck.

Or how about:

[Julle]

King's Adventurer

You really don't want to reveal 2 Contrabands with this.

Shanty Menagerie

Reveal your hand. If you have no action cards and no duplicates in your hand, put your deck into your hand.

The ultimate counter against Torturer.

[play2draw]

After a bit of spying at Rio Grande Games, I have discovered that the final Dominion expansion is going to be named Dominion: Convoluted. I also found a card from that set:

Financier: $5 Action
Reveal your hand. Calculate the average cost of cards in your hand (round down).
+3 Cards.
Reveal your hand. Calculate the average cost of cards in your hand (round down).
If the average value of your cards has not increased, gain a silver, putting it in your hand.

Shifting gears a little to more traditional bad cards, here is a card that genuinely intrigues me even though I suppose I am convinced it would be terrible:

Tornado
$5 - Action
Trash this card.   Choose any 3 kingdom piles.   Shuffle all the cards from these piles together, then deal them back out in 2 kingdom piles.  The missing supply pile does not count as an empty supply pile.

Of course only the top card of a supply pile could be purchased or gained at any given time.  This seems like a cute way to limit availability of key cards, especially spammable ones.  I'm sure it's not a very viable idea, but I wish it were.

[Titandrake]

Shuffle Provinces, Copper, Silver. Now what? It is cute though.

Investment
Cost: $3
Action-Duration
When you play this card, choose a supply pile from outside the game. Add it to the game.
At the start of each of your turns, discard a treasure card, or reveal a hand without a treasure card, discard Investment, and remove the added supply pile.
Whenever a player buys a card from the added pile, place an Investment token on that pile.
At the start of your buy phase, +$1 for each Investment token on piles you added.

[rinkworks]

Shuffle Provinces, Copper, Silver. Now what? It is cute though.

Kingdom piles only.  The basic treasures and victory piles have to stay as they are.

Witch's Brew ($5) - Action

While this is in play, when you buy a card with a Potion in the cost, gain a copy of it.

It's the Potion-version of Talisman. I think it's impossible to price, though: make it cheap and Familiar races become even more unbalanced; make it expensive and it's easier to buy an extra Potion. It's too swingy depending on which Potion-cost cards are in the Kingdom, and it makes Vineyards races even more ridiculous.

If Chapel Stands Alone is the only card in your hand, and your draw and discard pile is empty. You Win

So much easier in Dominion than Magic!!!

Is it?
How many cards can trash themselves?

Actually, it probably is looking at my wording, should probably add 'and is the only card in play and your hand is empty'

[jotheonah]

You could do it with Island, Masquerade, your opponent's Bishop, or your opponent's Governor.

[ftl]

It would have to be your opponent's masquerade. Yours would still stay in play and thus be in the way.

Island is the only way to do it without help from your opponent.

[Axxle]

You could do it with Island, Masquerade, your opponent's Bishop, or your opponent's Governor.

How does Masquerade work? Wouldn't you at least have the Masquerade in play?

[jotheonah]

ftl's right, was thinking of the pin and ... yeah.

[Ozle]

The wording I did allows for Native Village as well I expect.

[ftl]

But how would you get the native village out of your hand/play/deck?

[Ozle]

Erm...doh, for some reason I was thinking they went on the mat as well! Ignore that.

What happens on turn three when you reveal a trader?

[Deadlock39]

Well... the gain never happens, so you can't reveal Trader.

It would be pretty hilarious to play with this I think.  Better open Estate/Estate... The first player to miss an Estate buy loses, or if you manage to run out the pile you have to work up to Duchies as fast as you can.  Of course, the 5/2 start is unbeatable with it's Duchy/First Turn Advantage opening.

[dondon151]

Unless, of course, the opposing player also opens 5/2.

[WanderingWinder]

One assumes player 2 may well take his option to end the game with a tie on turn 1, or any subsequent turn...

[jonts26]

In which case player 1 has to open estate (or duchy). And that means player 2 has to match him. So the game continues until someone draws 4 green cards, or someone lucks into a duchy.

[Deadlock39]

Well yeah, my point was supposed to be that a 5/2 start is unbeatable regardless of which player got it (if the other player does not).  Player 2 can't end the game on turn 1 with a tie if player 1 opens with an Estate.  I guess that is the part that I found humorous.  With this card on the board, the optimal option is to immediately buy VP cards.  As soon as you don't, or fail to match your opponent's buy, the game is lost.

[kamikazepig]

I just joined and got an account simply to comment on this thread. It is hilarious, and now I am going to spend all the time I should be learning how to play Dominion (I learned how to play on Saturday and am now hooked/have played 90-odd games on isotropic) coming up with fake cards, when I already spend all the time I should be sleeping or working trying to improve at Dominion.

Which now means I'm going to be spending all my time making up fake cards. Like...

Dookie

Gain an Island (Welcome to Paradise!)
Place a curse token on any pile that allows searching through the deck...Counting House, Hunting Party, etc. but also, at the end of this turn after all actions and buys and such, discard your entire deck and, instead of reshuffling, organize the cards exactly how you want to (No time to search the world around, cause you know where your cards will be found...when they come around)
You may masturbate. If you do, gain +2 Actions. If you don't, -1 Action and -2$. If this was your last action, an extra penalty of -4$. If that puts you below $0, trash Dookie. (When masturbation's lost its fun, you're ****in' lazy)

[jotheonah]

Also, I meant underpriced.

[Thisisnotasmile]

Well it doesn't say "When you buy this..." so it actually works on-play, which makes it even worse (in terms of card design. Who knows what it means in terms of card power).

[Axxle]

Well it doesn't say "When you buy this..." so it actually works on-play, which makes it even worse (in terms of card design. Who knows what it means in terms of card power).

If you want to nitpick: the card isn't an action, or any card type for that matter, so you can never play it.

[Zem]

Idempotence $1 - Reaction   When you buy this: +1 Buy ———————— At any time, you may discard this from your hand. If you do, +1 card. ———————— Setup: This card starts with 100 copies in the supply

I was thinking which niches for defense cards are still unfilled.
Here it is: The perfect counter to trickser, spy, pirate ship, thief, oracle, jester, tribute.
Just fill your deck with these whenever you have 1$ left, and chances are an opponent's deck-inspection attack will hit only one of those.

It can also defend well against cutpurse and bureaucrat (less chance of having coppers or victory cards in hand), and even masquerade! (just pass an idempotence)

There might also be some slight synergy effects with gardens, philosoper's stone, bridge, highway and goons.

Plus, if you have enough of these in your deck, your opponent might just give up or die of old age anyway.

Just be carefull not to get stuck in a loop when you have your whole deck drawn.
