So, I just read all of the cards in the set for the first time in a while. A few things about them that I would like to mention:
A) I feel as though Sanitarium should cost
. Yes, it can be better than village, but, not strictly better more often than not. The on-gain is nice, yes, but only works in early game. yes, early trashing is powerful, but it loses that ability when, or just after, junking would start. After that, it is strictly worse than village, as it can often function as a necropolis if there is any other draw in your deck at all. I would think that, although the jump from
to
is not that big, preventing players from opening Sanitarium/Sanitarium is not worth it, considering what is mentioned above.
B) Conversely, I think that Ballroom should be priced higher at
, as it is strictly better than BoM. It gains you a card with the same restrictions as BoM, then plays it, thus acting as a BoM that gains the card it mimics. Granted, being a TR in the later half of the game might mitigate this issue, but I think it would be a solid
if you restricted it to cards costing
or less as opposed to cards costing less than it. Of course, there's the issue of milling the ballroom pile in one turn with cost reducers...if that comes up too often, that could be an issue, but otherwise it might be fun.
C) I think the first Bailiff is marginally more powerful than the second, as it allows the gaining of silver (or CotR, or loan...you get the picture) if used to gain estates.
Also, just a passing thought, have you ever thought about doing recommended sets of ten for Seasons?
