in all seriousness taxman is really just not that bad a card. i mean it's not good, it's just also not bad. c.f. Mine.taxman: cutpurses yourself. (bad)mines yourself (good)delays the benefit of mining yourself (bad)ghost ships yourself (bad)attacks opponent (good)costs less than mine (good)what i'm saying is that it's scientifically proven that Taxman costs 4.
Costs less than your what?
I don't get Kirian's joke. Taxman costs less than Mint; that's pretty obvious.

Quoteghost ships yourself (bad)I don't agree with this one. Surely Taxman would be weaker if the gained treasure went to discard instead of on top of your deck? So the "ghost ship" effect here is a good thing, not a bad. (Unless you're counting the handsize reduction, but you already covered that with Cutpurse).
Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

In the early game, you want to draw your newly gained Silver rather than one of your Estates or Coppers, but in the late game, you want to draw your engine components rather than the Treasure.
