[One Armed Man]

In my Coronation set http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=4663.0, I added this card:
Mayor
4
Action
Gain a Silver, placing it on top of your deck.
Look at the top 4 cards of your deck. Draw one, trash one, discard one, and place the other back on top.
Each other player chooses one for themself: +1 card, trash a card from their hand, gain a Silver.

It turned out very weak. I started with the opponent benefit part and based the rest on giving you all 3 parts.

Sheriff
5
Action
+1 Card
+1 Action
Gain a Silver, placing it in your hand. Trash a card from your hand.
Each other player chooses one for themself: +1 card, trash a card from their hand, gain a Silver.

This seems weak, too. I also thought of putting it on a Curser (inspired by andwilk's Town Fool):

Corrupt Sheriff
5
Action-Attack
+$3
Each other player gains a Curse, then chooses one for themself:  +1 card, trash a card from their hand, gain a Silver.

What kind of card should get this kind of effect: A terminal or a non-terminal? Should it be on a $4, $5, $6? Should it be on an attack?

I've created a card that functions with "opponent's choice". But it's more of 'pick your poison'.

Scapegoater
Action/Attack
Cost: 5

+3$
Each other player gains a Spoils and a Ruins. They choose one to put on top of their deck, and gain a copy of the other one.


I do think these kind of cards are cool and an interesting way to design cards!

I'm not so sure that gaining a Ruins on top of your deck and 2 Spoils would actually hurt more than help...

Fixed that for you.
