Cardname
$2
Choose one: +2 Cards, +2 Actions, +1 Buy, +$2.
Thoughts? Has this been done before?

I've tried this card before. I had +2 Buys because I was lazy, but whatever.

I'm very sure that this card is balanced, since each effect is weaker than a $2 card, and you get to choose the effect. But it's somewhat unsatisfying to play. If you only have one, you often just play it for +$2, or +2 cards. If you have 2, well you want to play both, so you play one for actions, and then you play the other, and the end result is that you played 2 Pawns but with less flexibility.

I think the reason I didn't like playing the card was that it felt far too restrictive, whereas with Pawn there wasn't a similar feeling. Sometimes you just want +1 Card +1 Action; this doesn't quite give it.

I'm considering addin some other effect, like, when you discard this from play you may put is on your deck, or when you play this, you may gain a Cardname.

You have a good point, it is pretty restricting. But Nobles is pretty restricting, so I'm not too worried.

This is what DonaldX had as the Steward (with 2 buys instead of 1) before stripping out the buys and actions and putting in trashing. It seems he thought $3 is a better price for it.
