It cannot be stolen by Thief or Nobel Brigand

Nobel Brigand: someone who won the Nobel Prize for Brigandry?

Exactly!

The qualification for winning the prize is that you must already have it before it was awarded to you.

Hmmmm... after reading all of those constraints, here's my submission to this contest:

Strictly Worse than Silver
Action, Cost: $3
+$2

(just having a little fun!)

Look up in the sky it's... Pedantic Man!!!

This card isn't strictly worse than silver for the following reasons:

It can activate Peddler and Conspirator
It can be Throne Room'd and King's Courted
It can be gained with University
It can be put back on top of your deck with Scheme
It can be found and played with Golem
It can be drawn with Scrying Pool
It powers up Vineyards
It cannot be stolen by Thief or Nobel Brigand

 ;D

Play Fishing village - StrictlyWorseThanSilver - Fishing village - StrictlyWorseThanSilver - Library
And you draw 7 cards ! Amazing !

Clearly this is overpowered!  I suggest a price of $5.

I'm fairly new to the forum-could someone explain to me what the forum's messaging system is or how to use it? Thanks!

Indeed. I also forgot to mention the fact that it's made cheaper by Quarry, and that you can play it before you play a Minion or Tactician.

It's amusing that the set Terminal Silver (as defined by this challenge) contains three subsets:  Attacks, Cards that Suck, and Monument.

Yep. Honestly, I suspect we're going to see a lot more attacks...

Yeah, there are several good terminal silver non-attacks, but they all have something "special" to them and so aren't eligible here.

Does the card have to leave you with exactly one fewer card in hand before you played it, or at least one fewer card?

I'll second this question.  If it's one exactly, I'll need to revise...

Man, it sucks when you submit a card to a challenge and then the next day Donald X. has to go and preview a card that has the same unique mechanic. I won't say more to give away my card, but just know that I didn't steal the idea, promise!
