[edit] FAQ
[edit] Official FAQ
- The cost lowering applies to all cards everywhere, including cards in the Supply, in hands, and in Decks.
- It's cumulative with other things that lower costs, like Bridge from Intrigue.
- If you have Action plays left in your Buy phase, you can use them as Buys instead.
- For example if you play no Actions at all, you have one Action play you didn't use, and so can use that as an extra Buy.
- What's relevant here is Action plays, not Action cards; you get one Action play per turn normally, and can increase that with cards like Rustic Village.
[edit] Other rules clarifications
- Cards still cost less when scoring (which matters for Plateau Shepherds).

[edit] Trivia
[edit] Preview
Flourishing Trade makes cards cheaper, and also lets you use Action plays as Buys, which could be handy. So you know, if you play a Village and then go to your Buy phase, those 2 Action plays you had left can both be Buys.
[edit] Secret History
Started out as "Action plays can be used as Buys," taken from a Ninja. Then it got the Bridge effect, then lost the Actions-as-Buys part, then got it back as a once-per-turn that could also turn a Buy into an Action, but that's tricky, so then back to just Actions into Buys.
[edit] Wording
The root problem is that the game overloads the word "Action." If Dominion had Action cards but Villages gave you "+2 Plays," then it would be easy to refer to Plays. It doesn't and it's impossible and I should never do it. And somehow I did it anyway, twice, and those are the best wordings I had on those two occasions.
