Yeah, figured after the 8th time I should just call it something.

When cards in play are inflamed, you must dose them with gasoline and set them alight.

Pyromaniac
Treasure

+ for every inflamed card, and every card that has caught flame from a inflamed card.

You may light this card on fire. If you do, + and trash this card

I guess Conspirator was kind of like a Burning Peddler the whole time, but the numbers are a little off.

Motel/Filling Station Split - Motel on top

Motel
Cost: 2$

+1 Card
+2 Actions
Discard all treasures from your hand, gain a motel.

If this is the first time you have played a motel this turn, you may trash 2 action cards from the supply costing up to $4.



Filling Station
Costs: 6$

+3 cards
+ $1

You may trash a motel from your hand for + $4 and +1 buy




I think there's some potential here if its tweaked but in its current form probably qualifies as terrible

Pretty crazy three-pile machine I suspect.  Maybe Motel only needs to trash one card per turn.

Nine times out of ten, I expect Filling Station would be inferior to Swashbuckler, so $6 is overpriced.

Meanwhile, if Motel turns out to be any good then in a two-player game both players will buy one, then the first person to play one will gain Motel #3 and trash Model #4, #5. Not a half-pile that would last very long. (-8

I was thinking of this as part of the appeal. Its a village you can use to starve your opponents of villages, giving yourself strategic advantage.

It does seem it would be a bit luck based  around who goes first and who draws their motel first

Maybe this might work, I've removed the once per turn, reduced to one trashed card, and added a stipulation.

If there are no empty supply piles, you may trash an action card from the supply costing up to 4$

All treasures might be harsh?  Maybe you may discard one to gain a Motel, and you may discard one to trash an Action from the supply.  This also means you don't need an "or reveal that you cannot" clause, either.

This version should probably cost $4, since it's a self-gaining Village.

I went through a couple drafts before posting Manger initially, and I somehow left out the clause about the Inn pile being empty.  Fixed.

Arkenstone - Action-Duration.
Trash a Dragon from the supply.
At the start of each of your turns for the rest of the game, gain a Gold to your hand.
--
While this is in play, if any other player plays a card that causes you to trash one of your Treasures, they trash their hand.
They were never your friends, anyway.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

Split pile


Jabberwocky
Action-Attack-Victory-Duration-
You may light your eyes on fire, bite an opponent, and catch someone in your claws. If you did, now and at the start of your next turn +
________
At the end of the game, if you don't have a head, -15

Vorpal sword
Action-Reaction-
If there are no Jabberwockys in play, every other player gains a Jabberwoky
----------------
When an opponent plays a Jabberwocky, you may reveal this to cut the triggering card in half and to cut off the head of your opponent who played it.




The poem by Lewis Carroll, for reference:
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
      And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
      The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
      The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand;
      Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
      And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
      The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
      And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
      The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
      He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
      Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
      He chortled in his joy.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
      And the mome raths outgrabe.

Vorpal Sword really needs to be an Artifact somehow. And there should be a Brillig state.

I think it's just the most valuable Victory card, if I've got my lore right here.
