So restock means there is an infinite backup?

Let's say you have 50 Giant Rats total.

But I mean.. are only 10 in the supply at a given time?  Do you restock from the trash?

So restock means there is an infinite backup?

Let's say you have 50 Giant Rats total.

But I mean.. are only 10 in the supply at a given time?  Do you restock from the trash?

Actually 60 total would be better. 20 in the supply (like Rats). When it's trashed it goes to your discard. So you gain one Giant Rats, then gain the other 19. Since you're the only the one with Giant Rats, you can also be the first to trash one (with the exception of passing one because of masquerade) thus gaining another 20 Giant Rats. One more trashing of Giant Rats means you gain the last 20 and you now have 60 Giant Rats in your deck.

I don't see how this could work with any strategy. You'll never see your money or TfB cards so you'll never be able to 3-pile and/or consistently gain VP.

EDIT: So I guess it could be part of the setup that you only restock the Giant Rats supply when a Giant Rats has been trashed and there are none left in the supply.

[Minotaur]

I was just trying to come up with a scenario where Giant Rats would be exploitable. This is the bad card idea thread, after all, so tweaking and balance are optional. If you come up with something that actually sort of works, it's a bonus.

I'll play a... oh. Damnit. - $6 - Action

Your opponent's next turn lasts only two seconds.

[ChocophileBenj]

They're like throne rooms, but for Hinterlands cards : throne areas. And, not to make them dead cards in game without "on-gain" cards, I put some self-synergizing effect

-Throne area (A)-
Action, $6

Choose an action card from your hand. Gain it twice.
---
When you gain this, gain a card costing less than this.

-Throne area (B)-
Action, reaction $6

Choose an action card from your hand. Gain it twice.
---
When you gain a card, you may discard this from your hand. If you do, gain a Gold.


And then, a really bad "really bad card ideas" idea...
-Contraband (LG)-
Treasure, $5

Worth $2, +1 buy.
When you play this, take a Treasure card from your hand, face down (or reveal a hand without Treasures). The player to your left either call "pass", or "check $X" with $X equal or larger than $2. Either case, reveal the card you have taken.
-If your opponent called "pass", +$1 and play it as usual. Otherwise, count $Y, the amount of $s that card generated.
-If $Y is between $2 and $X (included), discard that card and he gains $Y during his next turn
-Otherwise ($Y = $0, $1, or $Y>$X), +$X and play that card.

If you don't have the reference, LG in the card name stands for Liar Game, an excellent manga that you Dominion players should read.
Edit : added a +$3 so people don't always want to call "pass". Plus it becomes closer to a well-known official card...
Edit : changed a bit the things, so people won't always call "check $2" (before it was Worth $0 by default and worth $3 if he called "pass"

Each player (including you) looks at a number of cards from the top of his deck equal to the number of players. Simultaneously, each player sets aside one card and passes the other cards to his left, and this is repeated until there are no cards left to pass. Each player either trashes all of his set aside cards, or puts them all on top of his deck in any order.
