Does this work?

Antechamber
Action - $3
Play a card from your hand.
If you did not draw any cards as a result, play it again.

It's probably really weak compared to Throne Room. $3 isn't much less than $4.

Also, not sure if "as a result" is clearly defined. If card you played was Thone Room or Antechamber, and you play Smithy with that, does it count as drawing cards as a result of playing it?

Idea:
Play a card from your hand
If you have 3 or fewer cards in your hand, play it again.

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

'And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." - Moroni 7:41, the Book of Mormon

Seems 'broken' with Envoy, if broken is even possible. It's a bargain bin Throne Room, which is pretty awful.

Play a card? Even a Curse?

Envoy is a trick to get around the limitation, but it's certainly not broken with it; it just makes it slightly cheaper to buy Throne Room when you want to use it with Envoy.

I think if you wanted to do some sort of limited Throne Room, then the natural limitation would be based on card cost.

"Choose an Action card in your hand costing less than $5. Play it twice."

But again, it just seems weak. Maybe it could cost $2, but even then, a nerfed Throne Room isn't that exciting.

I think a nerfed throne room could be made interesting by adding a vanilla bonus. My suggestion would be "+1 card" or "+$1"

I would be annoyed about the boards where the text box is identical the Throne Room.

Are you annoyed about boards where Tunnel's text box is identical to "Victory -  2"? Or where Fortress is identical to Village?

If you take mail-mi's version and then price it at $2, I think it starts to approach interesting. That's what I would try first.

1.  Not at all, because there is no other Victory 2 in the game.
2.  Heck yes, I jump at every additional reason to hate on Fortress, it's one of my least favorite Dominion cards.

I'm not sure why you linked those. If you're reading this thread, you probably know what Village is...

It's a card name. With my Chrome extension installed, it makes sense to link pretty much all the card names.
