Is this a reference?  I feel like I've seen it before.

What's "really bad" about that idea?

well it's obviously broken, but that's not really a problem of the idea, more about the specific card. I guess it's just because of the concept, let's look at a whole lot of different cards and do all things possible with them

Reveal four cards from top of your deck. Opponent chooses an action. Play it three times.
It's worth noting that your opponent can choose any action from anywhere, such as a Transmute in the local gaming store's unopened Alchemy box.

EDIT: Oh, but you can't actually gain any extra Transmutes with a Transmute when it's not in the supply. Baron might be the worst option then.

This card is not in the supply.  Whenever you place a Curse on your Island mat, gain a Gilligan from the Gilligan pile and place it on your Island mat.

Hm.. you have N unique cards in play.  First unique, Goko asks you "How many times do you want to trash Horn of Plenty Plenty?", and you answer something.  Second unique, Goko asks you ..., and you answer some  other random number, ....  I imagine each request would cause a bit of lag from sending messages back and forth.  Opponent rage quits.

The point was not the technicality of the trashing, but that, on a literal reading, you have to supply a number for each differently named card you have in play, so Goko asks you what that number is.

But usually, the optimal strategy is to name zero each time, so as to keep HoPoP in your deck.

Reveal the top 5 cards of your deck.
Trash one.  Discard one.  Place one on the bottom of your deck.  Place one on top your deck.  Place one in your hand.

Why should it be broken? It's just a slightly more reliable Lookout with the +1 Action replaced by some inverse Pearl Diving. It should be fine at $3 or maybe $4.

it's way better than lookout. You get to choose one card out of 5 to draw... that's much better than +1 action. Plus 5 cards is way more than 3. It could be fine at $5?
