still can't trash cards in your hand. your deck will be doctor, potion, and 5 coppers/estates/shelters. So 2/7 chance of not being able to buy possession T3, and if you do, a 1/2 chance of drawing possession T4. So only a 5/14 chance of playing possession on T4.

A Herald buy can put the Potion on top to buy Possession turn 3, then another Herald buy puts the Possession on top so you play it on Turn 5.

then you definatly won't draw possession on T4.

here's what you do:

T1: nomad camp
T2: potion, herald, putting potion and nomad camp on top of deck
T3: play nomad camp, potion, buying a possession, then another herald, putting possession on top of deck
T4: play possession.

So you can force a T4 possession.

possession on T5 is probably too slow. If I'm the first player, I think I can get half of the points in the supply in 5 turns using squire, nomad camp, herald, and border village.

... but then once you've played possession you can buy saboteurs to get rid of my points...

So basically, first player has a forced win.

You can't put Nomad Camp on your deck with your T2 Herald buy, Nomad Camp is in your play area. You played it so you could buy two things.

oh, right. hmmmm. so as first player, it might be best to go for the T5 possession, as long as there is a way to get points out of your opponent's deck.

Sea Urchin is generally better than Urchin, but it's not amazing.

Dude, you need to eat it raw, fresh from the sea.  Then you'll know how amazing it is.

This is cheating because I don't actually think this is a really bad idea, but there isn't a "kind of interesting" ideas thread.

Flunky
$3 - Action
You may reveal an Action card from your hand costing more than this.  If you do, play it twice then gain a Flunky.

probably OP in some kingdoms, and useless in others. Not many where it would be just decent.

I imagine it would play quite similarly to Throne Room, because really your TR targets are going to be $4+ anyway, and there aren't that many decks where you only want one.

The main difference with Throne Room is that you can't chain it, so you need an independent source of actions.  I agree that it's likely to be useless or massively overpowered.

Using Flunky to double-play Golem could be quite interesting...

Don't worry, then it will be a really bad card to go into the really bad card ideas thread. BTW, you could start a new thread. :)

Shot in the dark $5
Name a number. Each other player discards the card at that position. (For example, if you say 2, then each other player discards the 2nd card from the left)

Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal a Treasure card. Put the revealed Treasure card in your hand, and discard the rest.
