FAQ
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.
Other rules clarifications
- Cards still cost less when scoring (which matters for Plateau Shepherds).

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.
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.
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.
