I thought Cloister and Sentinel were great as-is. (The only other ones you mentioned that I've played with are already on your great cards list.)

Sentinel is kind of balanced, but I think it needs a bit more. It's a little bland for a 5. I'll try it in another game and see how it does. Cloister needs 2 shuffles to actually use it's ability. I think it should cost 4 and give 2 points. In the game I played it either never got trashed, or it got trashed and never reshuffled. Early game I'll almost always want gold or a power 6, late game cloister's about the same a duchy for all the good it will do you. I guess it's great in a platinum-platinum-woodcutter-cloister-cloister golden deck but still seems underused to me.

My wife and I tend to play Colony-Platinum most of the time, in which Cloister seems a comparatively better buy. But that makes sense as an analysis in many Province games. Though of course it depends on the other card combos--TfB, alt-VP, and deliberate Cloister-chaining strategies.

Cloister is a niche card. In the niches it excells, but usually it's a 6 cost duchy.

Retested Senteniel. Still seemed a bit weak. The current version seems more like a trashing courtyard variant,  and maybe should cost 4.

Update: Revised version of Battle Strategy

Is it possible to buy this multiple times to set aside all my Victory cards? Or just 4 cards in one game?

[ThetaSigma12]

Dang, it should say put the cards back. As soon as I have time I'll get around posting an improved improved version. This the the first car I mocked up so mistakes were made.

Necro-Ish time.

I just printed out ~100 more card shaped things. Some were improved versions of older card shaped things I had printed. Just for fun, I complied my stats on my current set of 236 fan card shaped things. I went through and found the % of certain types. Here's some results:
