Estuary | Victory | $4
2
-
When you gain this, set aside the top 2 cards of your deck. At the start of your next turn, put them in your hand.

Estuary gives you draw next turn! Unfortunately, it clogs your deck for the rest of the game. Sometimes you'll want the extra draw early on to spike something. Sometimes you've got a deck that can trash those extra cards. Sometimes it'll become an interesting decision between this and a duchy if your deck starts to stall out in a slog-like environment.

Haunted Manor
- Action Victory
+2 Cards and +2 Actions. Discard a Card.
---
1
In games using this, when any player gains a Victory card during their Buy phase, they put their hand onto their deck in any order.

Notes: It’s somewhat similar to Inn. The on-play effect is stronger than Inn (and it’s worth 1 VP too). However, Inn has a beneficial on gain effect. When you buy Haunted Manor, it usually hurts you. Haunted Manor’s below the line effect makes its sifting a little more valuable, and also makes its 1 VP a more interesting addition to the card.

The below the line effect uses a "gain during the buy phase" trigger (what Merchant Guild changed to after Donald X removed "on buy" triggers) rather than "gain a card you bought" (like Haunted Woods changed to) because I find the former simpler.

White Tree / Night Tree • Randomizer
This pile starts with as many copies of each card as players, but minimum three and maximum five. All copies of White Tree are are on top.

White Tree • $4 • Action - Victory
+1 Card
+2 Actions
You may discard a Treasure for +1 Buy.

If a Supply pile is empty, Worth 1%.

Night Tree • $5 • Action - Victory
+3 Cards
Discard a card and if it was an …
Action, +1 Action and +1 Card;
Victory, +1 Card.
-
Worth 1% per empty Supply pile.

Why does White Tree feature a condition that is always fulfilled at the end of the game?

[grrgrrgrr]

Bamboo Forest (Action - Victory, $5)
Discard any number of Action cards from your hand. +$1 and +1 Villager per card discarded.
-
Worth 1% per 2 Action cards in your deck that have no +Action or +Villager amounts in their text (rounded down).

[Tiago]

There's already an Event called Enclave. Also, shouldn't it be "another player" instead of "an opponent"? Other than that, I like this. It might encourage people to get more of a variety of cards.

This should probably say, "discard ... from your hand, revealed" since only the top card of your discard pile is public.

Worth 1VP per empty Supply pile.

White Tree: This feels very weak. Compared to Worker's Village, you (usually) have to lose 1 (or more) coin to get +1 Buy, which is not a great trade. The VP seems like a really tiny amount that won't make much of a difference. I like the Village-Smithy split pile though.

Does District need to say (round down) on it?

**Entry withdrawn.**

Will tinker with this and/or replace with something different.



Updated entry, see here.

[faust]

Border Land would make games reach a point where it doesn't make sense to buy more Provinces (if your opponent has 3 Border Lands, Duchy is better). This could lead to pretty drawn-out games.

[silverspawn]

Monkstead -- Action/Victory -- 5$

Trash a card from your hand.
-
Worth 7VP if you have exactly 7 Victory cards in your deck (otherwise worth 0VP).

Good call, yeah I'll need to adjust the point scaling, or I may just replace with something different.

[NoMoreFun]

Forsaken Lands
Victory - $4
Worth 5VP if you have at least as many Curses as Forsaken Lands. Otherwise, worth 2VP.

[fika monster]

Just wanna say that i like the submissions so far! Allready some very good ones.
I hope i’m not breaking judge etiquette here

[sumrex]

Factory of Mass Production
Night/Victory 6$

Gain cards costing up to 4$ equal to the ammount of cards costing 5$ or more you gained this turn.
Worth 1 Per 4 Cards in your deck costing 4 or less.

[segura]

I think this needs a non-Victory restriction. Province gaining without much of a cost or downside is dubious.

[J410]

Depository - Victory - Worth 1 per 4 Treasures you have (round down).When you gain or trash this, +2 Buys.

Like Cache, it comes with 2 Coppers, but this time it's optional and you can add some to buy better stuff instead.
Good source of points in slogs or plunder-heavy games, and a potential source of buys otherwise.

[Gubump]

I think this needs a non-Victory restriction. Province gaining without much of a cost or downside is dubious.

I think sumrex's intent is that it gains multiple cards costing up to $4 each, not one card of increasingly higher max cost.

[Tiago]

Unless you want it to counter handsize attacks, can't it say, "When you gain this, +2 Cards at the end of this turn"?

[LibraryAdventurer]

This pair have gone through a few different versions, but I think I have them pretty well balanced (and not overly complex) now.

Rubber Duchy
$4 - Victory
2VP.
-
When you trash this, discard it for +1 VP.

Cards that can't really be trashed are fun.

FAQ: This replaces the Duchy pile and is not a kingdom pile. In addition to using Rubber Duchy when Rubber Duke is in the kingdom, you may use a randomizer for this to replace the Duchy pile with this sometimes when Rubber Duke is not in the kingdom.

Rubber Duke
$4 - Victory - Reaction
2VP if you have at least 2 Rubber Duchies (Otherwise, worth 0VP).
-
When you discard a Rubber Duchy either from your hand or by trashing it, you may discard this for +2 Cards.
Setup: Replace the Duchies with Rubber Duchies.

[sumrex]

Indeed, does it need a wording update or is it fine as is?

It does I think. I agree that your reading is more plausible, but it is ambiguous. Do sth with "number of cards equal to" or sth

Unless you want it to counter handsize attacks, can't it say, "When you gain this, +2 Cards at the end of this turn"?

It’s to make it easier to not forget. I play most of my dominion in person, and it’s quite easy to forget stuff like this. The two cards being set aside is the visual reminder. Without the set aside card it could be easy to forget, especially if you gain it in the start or middle of a big turn. For example, the river’s gift stays until clean up to be a visual reminder. But this card is gained and can’t be a reminder, so the set aside cards ARE the reminder. Expedition doesn’t do this because your buy phase is almost always near the very end of your turn.

There’s enough mid-turn 4 cost gainers that I thought it was relevant. I’m open to being persuaded to the simpler wording, but the “reminder” is the main intention.

It does have the benefit of soft-countering militia attacks (self-junk instead — design neutral for me). It also has the downside (that I consider a design positive ) that it fails in deck-drawing scenarios: it either prevents you from drawing 2 set aside cards this turn, or next turn it might only draw the estuary if you’ve already drawn your deck.

Anyway, when first designing I thought of all of this, and thought the wordier phrasing was a better overall design.
