So, after some deliberation, I think my plan will be to make Colosseum cost $3. Which disqualifies it for this week. So here's my new entry:
Sometimes
Retrievers will take things you give them and bury them. Other times they'll take buried things and bring them back to you. Arf!
Notes:
• Works as a possible defense against some trashing and discarding attacks (depending, of course on what is trashed / discarded)
• Can also be used to trash bad cards for something like Cellar (Cellar / Retriever becomes Chapel+)
• Can also be used when you don't want to trash a card for something like Junk Dealer
• it's "would trash/discard" so "when you trash/discard" triggers don't happen, i.e. you can't Remodel a gold, discard it, and get a province
Questions:
Is it overpowered that you can use multiple times? (I considered making you discard it so could only "retrieve/bury" one card per Retriever)
Secret History:
• this was inspired by the Menagerie teaser of "instead, and vice-versa" and was originally phrased that way. It seemed clearer to spell it out.
• I had a Retriever in the pure reaction contest which needed help; seemed like the perfect flavor for this idea. It got the Action type, and +2 Cards since it's a dog (he's a good boy, yes, he is).
