Hmm. If you want the Curse penalty, maybe the card naming could strictly affect that rather than the draws?

"Name a card. Reveal the top three cards of your deck and put them into your hand. If none of them were the named card, gain a Curse."

that'll be super hard to balance and super swingy.

I think the current version is okay. Though, you should decide on either drawing the cards or putting them into your hand (for the wording).

Not so bad, but it's more radical. At least with the first version you could reveal 4 cards, and would usually draw only 1 or 2 (when it's 3 or 4, it's usually Copper). Now it's a super-lab with a big penalty that's harder to dodge. Thus, more luck is involved.

Touché. That gives us.

Tomb - Action $3

Name a card. Reveal the top 4 cards of your deck. You may put any number of matches into your hand. Discard the rest. If you put more than 2 cards into your hand that way, gain a Curse.

Still really good in the beginning : drawing copper and sifting estates ! However you risk losing your other buy in the discard. And obviously you can't draw a huge amount of money if you don't have a way to deal with the curse. Going right in my playtest file...
