Editing Outtakes

After the release of [[Guilds]], [[Donald X. Vaccarino]] published a lengthy list of '''Dominion outtakes'''—cards that he playtested and decided not to publish for one reason or another. The full list can be found [http://dominionstrategy.com/2013/06/24/dominion-outtakes/ here], and includes many early versions of cards that were eventually revised and released; what follows is a list of some of the most distinctive and interesting outtakes that are not simply early versions of eventually-published cards, but have been discussed elsewhere or been influential on game rules or future card design. Some have the same names as cards that ended up getting published.

* '''Dungeon''': Trash a card from your hand; discard a card; +3 cards
* '''Tower''': a [[Reaction]] that allowed you to gain a card costing up to {{Cost|5}} when another player bought a card costing {{Cost|6}} or more
* '''Campaign''': a [[one-shot]] that played all [[Attack]] cards in your deck
* '''Bandit''': a Thief-like card that could steal any [[type]] of cards
* '''Bribe''': a [[Reaction]] card that you could reveal when you trashed a card to gain a new copy of the trashed card
* '''Keep''': a [[cantrip]] that could discard for +{{Cost|}} like {{Card|Vault}} or {{Card|Secret Chamber}}
* '''Inn''': +2 cards, +1 action, discard a card
** This proved to be too strong to cost {{Cost|4}} but is [[strictly better|strictly worse]] than {{Card|Laboratory}} so can't cost {{Cost|5}}.
* '''Procession''': a [[Duration]] variant of {{Card|Throne Room}}: play an [[Action]] now, and again on your next turn
** This card was too weak, and it was difficult to make it interact with other Duration cards.
* '''Landfill''': a scaling [[alt-VP]] card that depended on the number of cards in the [[Trash]]
** "It played poorly and no one liked it." —DXV
* '''Transmute''': a [[remodeler]] that {{Card|Expand|Expanded}} the top card of your deck
* '''Kitchen''': Play an Action card. Trash it. Gain an Action card costing up to {{Cost|2}} or {{Cost|P}} more. Play it.
* '''Enchant''': a card that increased numerical values on other cards by 2
* '''Silver Mine''': Gain a {{Card|Silver}}.
* '''Market Square''': a cantrip that allowed you to buy a card immediately and put it in your hand
** This card was cut because of the confusing ramifications of allowing buying during the Action phase.
* '''Manor''': a half-{{Card|Harem}} with [[+Buy]]
** This is too weak to cost {{Cost|3}} but is strictly better than {{Card|Estate}}.
* '''Flea Market''': a card that reduced the [[cost]] of cards that nobody had yet gained a copy of
** This was cut in part because it gave too strong an [[turn advantage|advantage to the first player]].
* '''Mob''': a [[trashing attack]] that [[dig]]s for an opponents' [[Victory]] card and replaces it with a cheaper Victory card plus an Estate
* '''Jester''': a card that let you play another card, swapping its various [[vanilla]] bonuses for other vanilla bonuses

* '''Tithe Collector''': a [[handsize attack]] that only affected opponents with duplicate cards in hand
* '''Barn''': +2 actions; +1 card per differently named card in play; then discard that many cards
* '''War Axe''': an on-gain trashing attack
* '''Raider''': a [[handsize attack]] that, like {{Card|Noble Brigand}}, attacks on gain as well as on play
* '''Hatter''': +1 card, +1 action, play the top card of the [[Ruins]] pile
* '''Barbarian''': a trashing attack that replaces an opponent's card with a cheaper card of the same [[type]]
* '''Mercenary''': a handsize attack that makes other players discard down to 2 cards and then draw one
