[edit] Trivia
[edit] Preview
Pooka lets you trade a Treasure you didn't want for +4 Cards, that seems completely innocent. It can't trash Cursed Gold but everyone has their limits.
[edit] Secret History
The +Cards version of Moneylender was an idea that had been sitting around. It was in Empires for a while, first as +3 Cards with another ability, and then +3 Cards and a Boon. While those didn't make the cut, the basic idea seemed worth keeping in mind, and went into the Boonies file when I made it. It appears here at +4 Cards, with an Heirloom that it can't trash. It's a simple but subtle card.
[edit] Theme
The heirlooms are in a tough position, because you don't have to buy the card, you know, and yet you still have the heirloom. I think of it as something like "in a world of X, everyone has a Y." In a world of pookas, everyone has Cursed Gold. They are the source and as you can see they refuse to take it back themselves.
