*Each player chooses whether to discard the top card of their deck, then they reveal it.

Backward Storyteller is derpy, but gets better when you play two or more, so they still have to cost $4.  Backward Wishing Well is doesn't ever draw an extra card, because there is no named card yet (good thing, because there's no accountability for what the top card is.  If you had to know what it was without revealing, that would be a mess.)  Backward Tournament is just Peddler.

[Minotaur]

Hmmm.  Storyteller might depend on interpretation.  I think first you draw 0 cards because you paid nothing, and then you pay all of your money, and then you may pay Treasures.  That would be really bad.

The alternative is if you pay $ and then draw, even if the playing of treasures comes later.  This isn't quite as "backward", but at least it doesn't make the card-drawing into a vacuous clause (absent goofy cards that perform sorcery on the words written on the cards directly).

Negation
Action
Cost: $7

Reveal an Action card from your hand.  Remove the word "not" from one place in the card, or insert the word "not" in one place where it would maintain coherent mechanics.  Play that card with the changed text.  It is that card until it leaves play.  (You may freely interpret "has" as "does have" when looking for a place to add the "not", and other similar grammar tune-ups which do not change the initial mechanics of the card.)

[popsofctown]

Negation a Negation so the second Negation says "Reveal a card that is not an Action card from your hand..."

Use that Negation to reveal a Gardens.  Change the Gardens so it says "Worth 1 VP for every 10 cards that are not in your deck."  You can't play the card with the changed text, so you ignore that instruction.  The Gardens is that new changed card until it leaves play, which is forever since the Gardens isn't going to enter play.

The Gardens is now worth 1 VP for every card in the physical universe, except for however many are in your deck at the end of the game.  Baseball cards, Yu Gi Oh cards, Bicycles, Index cards, time cards, Uno cards, credit cards, key cards, and business cards are all powering up your Gardens.  Assuming you are the first person to do this, you are the first person to outscore Celestial Chameleon, but don't worry, you probably are Celestial Chameleon, Celestial Chameleon probably did it before I finished this post.

Or you could play the second Negation to add "not" anyplace where it would not maintain coherent mechanics.  I don't know what that would do next, but I guess that's the point.

[popsofctown]

I think using Negation on a Negation to remove the "coherent mechanics" restriction is itself a violation of the "retain coherent mechanics" restriction on the first negation since you are opening the floodgates.

Kind of like deliberately disabling one's own conscience with a drug would violate one's own conscience in the first place.

Good call.  Tweaked the wording so that's clearer.  Gotta make sure our bad card ideas are at their best.

The last pile is worth an extra +1VP for free now.  Unless you three-pile on non-victory.

Increment/Decrement
Action
Cost: $5

Increase or decrease a number in an Action card text by one, and then play that card.  It has the modified text until it leaves play.  (This cannot lower a number below zero, and this cannot be used on substrings of words which happen to spell out a number.  Grammar corrections such as changing singular to plural or vice versa comes for free.  The word "a" cannot be changed to a number, sorry.)


(Pretty good with Intrigue.  "Choose two: +3 cards, or +2 actions"...  I can't think of any really game-breaking cases yet, but there have to be cases where it stomps Throne Room...)

Oh right, KC-Decrement-Goons!  Yeah, this card is broken as I expected.  RBCI FTW.

EDIT:  Actually, it has to be Incremenet-Increment-Decrement-Goons.  KC doesn't work that way, but Increment Increment Decrement can decrement "down to three cards" to say "down to 0 cards".  Increment x3, Militia, Bishop can score infinite VP with no comebacks (barring attack prevention or playing Guide every turn or whatnot).  Monument works too if you can somehow trash with an event (or with Bomb).
