This set has gone through several phases. The theme of the set has changed constantly as well as the cards, but I think I've got it down now.
This is Dominion: Woodlands.
The theme of the set is Victory cards. Cards that give you Victory cards, cards that have effects correlating with Victory cards, and many new Victory cards.
There are 13 cards in the set. So let's begin:
Fief
Cost: 3
Victory/Reaction
1 VP
.
Whenever you gain a Victory card costing 6 or less, you may reveal and trash this card from your hand. If you do, gain a copy of the gained Victory card.A Mint for Victories, but works differently. This card is useful for getting Victories when you are chocked up with Victories.

At the end of your Buy Phase, you may put this card on top of your deck. Terminal Silver with the ability to guarantee you have an Action card next turn. Helps with sifting through your deck of Victories. A create card in BM.

Shaman

+2$
During cleanup, you may put this card on top of your deck.
Hunter
Cost: 3
Action
+1 Action
Look at the top 3 cards of your deck. Put one into your hand. Discard the rest. A card idea I made a while ago. Fit perfectly in the set, Allowing you to pick in choose what card to draw, and discarding the other, unwanted Victories. Good in a Curse heavy game.
Original Hunter called 'Scavenger', which name obviously needed to be changed:
I've been testing this card, and it seems pretty balanced.
Scavenger
Cost: 3
+1 Action
Look at the top 3 cards of your deck. Put 1 into your hand and discard the rest.
Meadow
Cost: 3
Action/Victory*
+1 Card

.
When this card's supply pile is empty, this card is a Victory card worth 2 VP instead of it's original effect.I'll admit, this card isn't my design. But it's my favorite card that has ever been posted on the forums. It is originally called "Park". It fitted really well in this set, Just don't go overboard on buying these, or someone can buy the last few and shut down your engine.
This card came from this old fan set by Dubdubdubdub, here's the link to his thread:

Surveyor
Cost: 4
Action
+1 Buy
You may put a Victory card from your hand on top of your deck. If you do:
+3$A buy that comes with a Gold if you are willing to bureaucrat yourself. Pretty solid, balanced card. Similar to Baron.
First time this is on the Forums.
Wooden Idol
Cost: 4
Action/Attack
Choose 1: +2 Cards or +2$
Every other player may discard a Victory card from their hand; those who don't, gain a Curse card.A Curser! I don't want a lecture about how this card isn't as good as Sea Hag. Because I know it isn't, Not all Curse givers need to be in the top 10 best cards. The choice is to add some variety, and doesn't really make the card too powerful.

Cottage
Cost: 4
Action/Victory
+2 Actions
Trash a card from your hand. Gain an Estate.
.
Worth 1 VP for every 2 Estate cards in your deck.The first alt Victory strategy in the set! There are 2 and they both counter one another. This card counts your Estates, and allows you to get more, at a price. Terrible card in DA games, and a great card in games with limited trashing.

Crown
Cost: 4
Treasure
When you play this, return it to the supply. Reveal your hand, this worth $2 for every Victory card revealed.
.
In games using this, when you gain a Province, you may gain a Crown.A card that helps with the traditional way of getting Victory points. Province snatching. It's a one shot that benefits decks with lots of Victory cards. Can be amazing in mega turns. Though with a lot of Victory cards it may be hard to pull this off. What's also cool is that in a 5 card hand, this + 4 other Victories = A Province, and, you can even get your Crown back!

Hiker
Cost: 5
Action
+1 Card
+1 Action
Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal 2 Victory cards. Put them into your hand. Shuffle the other revealed cards back into your deck.My entry for rinkworks' contest. Fits perfectly in the set, cleaning your deck of 2 Victory cards while still keeping your good cards in the deck.
First time on the forums, but was entered into rinkworks' contest, as was previously mentioned.
Forest
Cost: 5
Victory
2 VP
Worth an additional 2 VP in you have less Victory cards than the player who has the most.
.
When you gain this, everyone else gains an Estate.My favorite card in the set, and to my knowledge has never been done before. The Estate giving really helps Cottage strategies, but also gives them more VP, so it is more likely you'll have less.

Gypsy
Cost: 5
Action/Attack
+2$
Each other player puts a Victory card from their hand on top of their deck, or reveals a hand with no Victory cards and reveals cards from the top of his deck until he reveals a Victory card. He puts it on top and discards the other revealed cards.A card with a lot of wording, but simple in practice. I wanted a Fortune Teller +Beuarocrat card, so this was born. I don't really like designing Attack cards (besides Cursers), but this one is pretty cool.
First card on the Forums.
Acreage
Cost: 6
Action/Victory
2 VP
Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal 2 Victory cards. Put them into your hand discard the other revealed cards. Discard as many Victory cards as you want from your hand, and draw that many cards.The last card from the set, and a cool one at that. Is always +2 Cards, but some combos with other cards, (namely Hiker and Scout), can turn this card into a drawing powerhouse.
One of the few cards to survive from the original Woodlands expansion. Here's the original:
Acreage
Action/Victory
Costs: 6
2 VP
Reveal cards from your deck until you've revealed three Victory cards, putting them into your hand. Discard the rest of the revealed cards. Then discard as many Victory cards as you want from your hand, and draw that many cards.
...
And that's them all! I hope people like these cards as much as I do! I'll try to get images made when I have the time too. Until then, I hope you enjoy the cards!
Any criticism is encouraged and wanted.
Thanks for reading!
UPDATE 1: Fixed up some cards. Images and Secret History coming soon!
