other ones that i will desanctify this thread with
mine: $5 action
trash a card from your hand. if it was a copper, gain a gold. if it was a silver, gain a card costing up to $5, putting it into your hand.
wouldn't it be fun if the weird treasure-warping card from base was good? copper to gold isn't actually that much of a doozy and people get to figure that out from the start; silver to $5 is pretty great also, but it has to be a silver. maybe the person who line this up with village and silver first has a big advantage, but that'll just prepare you for the other 17 expansions. sometimes it'll trash an estate, that's a fun decision. throw the deed into the mineshaft, manservant, i can't stand this neighborhood.
counting house: $5 action
look through your discard pile, reveal any number of copper cards from it, and put them into your hand. you may discard up to 4 coppers from your hand; +1 card for each copper discarded.
the problem with big counting house games is that it's almost impossible to do an engine through them. this can't have +1 action without costing more unfortunately because then it is a better lab, usually you'll have at least two coppers to pick up.
cultist: $5 action
+2 cards
you may play a cultist from your hand.
if you did not play this using another cultist, each other player gains a ruins
_
when you trash this, +3 cards.
there aren't really a lot of good ways to word the thing i wanted to say, and there's even fewer ways to have a fun cultist game. games where you trash all the ruins end up being pretty fun, most of them you don't. you can still spend any spare actions to give the other guy more ruins, so now cultist has
any decisions associated with it.
masquerade: $3 action
+2 cards
each player passes a card from her hand to her left.
you may trash a card from your hand.
masquerade's fine. king's court/discard makes for a fun game, i think? i haven't actually done one, but it seems like a proper race to the golden thing that has several roadblocks and mindgames and the like. this is an okay card to be the
