Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

I had an idea like this last year; it generated a lot of discussion about the right wording to prevent players from gaining it. I hadn't thought about making it a treasure worth $1 though. http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=11495.0.

Co0kieL0rd and i are currently working on a project that would enable things like this. Not sure whether a card that can only be bought during your opening is worth a full kingdom card slot, though.

+1 Action
+1$
+1 Buy
Trash Plague. Discard a card.
__________________________
While Plague is in the trash, whenever a player has 0 Actions remaining in his action phase, he gains a copy of the last Action card he played that turn, then returns Plague to the supply.

Moderate-sized Kingdom

$5 Event:

Once per game: Count up the total VP across all cards you own. Gain that many VP tokens and trash all Victory cards you own.


Rulebook clarification: "Cards you own include those in your deck, hand, discard pile, on any of your mats, cards you have set aside through effects such as Haven, Gear, or Save, and those you currently have in play."

Going off of Swamp rather than Evergreen, how about:



It would need some rulebook clarification over how it would work with Ambassador and Young Witch, though.

That wording seems fine.

Swamp seems like a 3$ card to me though.

$2 should be better. On a 5/2 opening you are going to be very sad if $3 Swamps are the thing to go for (slog, quick 3-pile). And by the time you get +Buy other than Nomad Camp, you can't get them anymore.

I anticipate that Witch/Swamp, Vault/Swamp, Embassy/Swamp, and other such openings have a stronger advantage vs. Swamp/Swamp than Swamp/Swamp's advantage over Market/Swamp.

In my original thread I said that I made it $2 so that you can always open double swamp if you want.

And now, months later, I see what you were talking about.

Nose-stealing Competition
Victory
This is worth 3vp per every nose you have stolen without getting caught red-handed.
