should have Doom type.

Apologies for the pun.

Dracula ($5 Night-Attack)

You may trash a card from your hand to gain a Spirit or Dracula costing up to $1 per Action card you have in play.

Each other player either reveals a Silver from their hand or receives the next Hex.

should have Doom type.

Oops! I originally had it giving out Curses but then changed it to be more like Vampire. Fixed now, thanks.

Counts up costs.
Edit: Buffed the costs it can get so it doesn't completely fall off a cliff once you start greening.

Glide
Action - $2
+1 Card per Action you have
If you have no Actions remaining, +3 Actions

[anordinaryman]

Travelling Merchant | Action | $5
+1 Buy
+$1 per Merchant token you have in the Supply
-
Setup: Each player adds one Merchant token to each Action Supply pile. Remove other players's Merchant tokens when you gain a card from that pile.

Merchant tokens are colored, so that each player's is distinct. If Player A buys a Travelling Merchant, they remove Player B and Player C's Merchant tokens on that pile, but keep their own.

So, essentially this card says "+$1 per action card in the supply your opponents have not yet gained a copy of."

It starts off super strong, but because it costs 5, by the time you get one, you've probably lost a few $. It's still worth it though, easily providing $6-7 on first-play. This card encourages variety -- you have to get lots of different cards to hurt your opponent's Travelling Merchants. By the mid-game this is probably worth at most $3, but might even get as far as $0. Well, at least you get a + buy. Theme wise, the Merchants can only sell things people don't already have, that's the money decreasing thing.

[JW]

I suggest changing it to say "combined cost in " so that it is easier to understand how it works with debt or potion cost cards, and so that cards with those costs interact with it better.

[segura]

I think that this is overpowered. Sure, you can hit Provinces in the endgame but this seems to be on average stronger than +2 Cards +2 Coins which is decent for a $5. You can safely pick 3 cards during the entire opening and even, depending on your deck, deep into the middlegame.

Unsure how good this is as a submission, but here we go
note: I CANT edit the image card, but ive changed the text.
Its now more of a madman variant.

Rallier
4$, Action
+2 Actions
Exile a card from your hand.
You Return this to the supply for +1 Card per differently named card on your Exile mat.

[anordinaryman]

Unsure how good this is as a submission, but here we go

Rallier
4$, Action
Put a card from your hand onto your Tavern mat that you don't have any copies of there.
You may trash this for +1 Card and +1 Action per differently named card on your Tavern mat.

It seems this is a more natural fit for the Exile mat, rather than the Tavern.

I like the general idea.

Overall though it’s a terminal single card thinner with a one-shot explosive draw… so compare it to hermit/madman and this feels a little weak to me. I think you could have it be non terminal and allow you to exile any card, then trash for + card for differently named card in exile (not giving extra actions for simplicity)

[segura]

Super weak, I don’t see how you can actually thin with a card that gets rid of one Estate and one Copper.
Even without that variety restriction the card would be quite weak.

[faust]

Well, with 3 cards on the Tavern mat it is already stronger than Experiment. But it should probably return itself to the supply so that you can keep on getting new copies.

Warning! 24 Hours Remaining
I just forgot to post it.  You have another day before the deadline.

Flea Market
$4 - Action
+1 Buy
You may trash a non-Victory card from the Supply.
While this is in play, cards cost $1 less per card with the same name in Trash.

[Augie279]

While this is in play, cards cost $1 less per card with the same name in Trash.

Due to Ways being introduced and Throne Room shenanigans, it's recommended to use "This turn" instead of "While this is in play".

[segura]

Flea Market
$4 - Action
+1 Buy
You may trash a non-Victory card from the Supply.
While this is in play, cards cost $1 less per card with the same name in Trash.

Looks pretty weak compared to Bridge or even Woodcutter. Ruined Market is not brillant for Double Province greening and   a first play Herbalist with a positive effect for evrybody runs i to bootstrapping issues, i.e. nobody goes for it.

[Builder_Roberts]

So... majiponi hasn't shown up for three days now... Is everyone ok with just moving onto the next contest? I was the runner up from the prior contest, and I have a contest ready to go right now, but Faust has 14 upvotes, 4est has 12, I have 6. How do we wanna do this?

[majiponi]

Sorry for the delay.  I post who is the winner now, the comments will be posted within 48 hours.

[majiponi]

This week's winner is Augie279, followed by faust and JW.  Congratulations!

Principles
I like counting, but it needs some time.  Cards should not slow down games too much.  Good cards have some tricks to avoid multiple countings, like being terminal or having a Potion costs.  Let's see what you made.


• Tired Chemist by Builder_Roberts
As segura suggests, it is overpowering in money deck.  5/10


• Cleanser by BryGuy
A silver with one-Copper trashing.  Not bad.  7/10


• Sorcerer’s Stone by JW
It is similar to Porn of Plenty, but it gives you +2 Actions instead of Provinces. Very nice!  9/10


• Attic by pokemonfan1937
Not bad.  How about counting only a card costing $2 or more, to avoid counting twice?
8/10


• Trait by faust
Very great!  It resembles Poacher, but we really have to be careful how many the pile has.  9/10


• Bookstore by kru5h
Library with shifting.  I like "draw-to-X" clause.  Maybe it has to make sure "same number" means "same number of cards you first discarded."  8/10


• Architect by 4est
I like it, but compared to Artificer, it can gain greens (not only Provinces but also Duchies) too easily.  6/10


• Jeweler by SignError
Another Plunder card.  I like it, but does it have to gain only non-Victories?  It is already a terminal.  7/10


• Way of the Flock by Will(ow|iam)
Converting Liaisons to Horse gainers (delayed draw).  Not bad, but maybe it can give you +1 Action.  7/10


• Allied Village by Augie279
I really like it.  Everyone wants Villages even if the Ally is a boring one.  It also has "once-per-turn" clause to avoid slowness.  Excellent!  10/10


• Varsatile Resource by Cutepelican126
Another Lurker.  Not bad.  By the way, can I gain something when I return just one card?  8/10


• Dracura by Udzu
A strong Exorcist.  Silver-moating avoids Hex problems (it sometimes slows down games too much, as Donald suggests).  Very good!  9/10


• Slums by RovingBear
Another Shanty town.  Although some boards does not have $2-$3 Action cards (without this), but I like it.  8/10


• Poor Midas by sumrex
Weak.  Maybe gaining to your hand is better.  5/10


• Goldsmith by D782802859
Blackjack.  I like it, but as segura suggests, it is a little too strong.  7/10


• Glide by NoMoreFun
Another Village with +3 Actions!  Good.  8/10


• Travelling Merchant by anordinaryman
Although Big Money centralizes too often, I like it.  8/10


• Rallier by fika monster
Now it is a Village with trasher!  It seems nice, but it needs to Exile at least 3 cards to make up for one-shot
  Is it strong?  6/10

• Flea Market by grep
As segura suggests, it is very weak.  You have to play at least twice to get $1 discount.  Maybe "$1 per card with different name" helps.  5/10

[Cutepelican126]

I had not though about it much, but I suppose you would need to return 2 cards to gain any.

[Augie279]

Ay, thanks for the victory! I'll get the next contest posted soon.
