CRYPT, $5, Action

Reveal the top 3 cards of your deck. Put any Treasures into your hand and discard the rest.
+1 Card per Treasure revealed.


so the resulting cards drawn will be 0-6. might be overpowered if you get +Buy cards to fill your deck with Copper. but filling your deck with Treasure takes time. what do you guys think?

This is probably way too strong in BM decks. You either get 0, 2, 4, or 6 cards depending on how many treasures you reveal. But in BM, it will often be 4 or 6, which is too strong.

Big Money.  A deck that buys only a small number of Action cards that don't give +Action and treasure cards. (until greening phase)

i actually tried it with only reveal 2 cards at first, but it seemed a bit weak.

2 cards does seem weak, but I agree that 3 sounds too strong. One issue with this card is that it's almost useless in engines as you won't have that many treasures. And I find cards which strongly encourage BM to be somewhat dull. What if you made a change to decrease the power in BM while increasing the usefulness in engines. Something like 'Reveal top 3 cards, put treasures in hand, discard the rest, +1 card per card discarded.' That way, you always draw 3 cards and still get to cycle past your green cards, potentially.
