A few notes about events:
Siege seems slightly broken. With Travelling Fair and your events which give +2 buys, get 2 of these in play and immediately have unlimited buys. That might be a cool feature with Travelling Fair, but with your Decay, that's a combo that instantly empties the supply. I think there's a reason you can't change the cost of events.

Decay costs 3 so you would need 3 Sieges. Not to mention that Decay being overpowered has nothing to do with Siege.
A hand with 4 Silvers can gain a Province but that doesn't mean that Silver is overpowered.

But a hand of 4 Silvers can't gain the Supply. 3 Sieges and Decay can. And before the current update, Siege was non-terminal, which made it very easy to achieve, and the first person to do so wins.

I used that old 4 Silver argument because very often folks claim that a hand of X cards of name Y is overpowered, overlooking how hard it is to actually come up with such a hand. Let's take GendoIkari's example of KC,KC,Bridge,Bridge,Bridge. Well, if you have a deck which can reach such a hand you will most likely win the game with or without that funky combo!
In most decks Silver is more of a necessary evil than something you strive for and yet 4 Silvers is a Province and 5 Silvers is nearly a Colony. Gee, that Silver card must be overpowered!

You are totally right though that 3 Sieges is not difficult to come up with.The problem is not with Siege though which was underpowered while it was non-terminal and probably balanced while it was a non-terminal duration village but with Decay which is too strong even without that crazy combo with Siege. For a mere net price of 2$ (or less if you buy more than 1 card) you get a junking attack and an extra buy.

I did change siege to cost reduction only on events you have not bought this turn. It reads to the effect of: While this is in play, all events which you have not bought this turn cost 1 less, but not less than 0. This should prevent infinite buys and the whatnot.

Printed the cards and have begun testing!
First game had secret society, stronghold, scenic village, reinforcements, and trading vessel.
Scenic Village: Seems powerful enough that it might be worth dropping the card. Infinite actions is pretty darn good, but I might be overrating it a bit.
Stronghold: Unintended consequence of giving you +1 coin on the turn you play, will switch to at the start of your turn probably.
Reinforcements: Pretty good. This game had highway and highwayman in the secret society deck and so the +buy was more useful than in most games, even after you play it twice. -1 card is usually better in early game but it's fun when you can deny them a province.
Trading Vessel: Needs testing in a game without cost reduction. I wonder how it would work with the gain a silver and trash a card swapped.
