Secret History
In Cornucopia I tried out a card that was +, name a type, dig for it, leave the first match on top. It would have been "strictly better" than Chancellor at (since you could name a type that wasn't in your deck), and I didn't want to charge for it or give it an awful condition specifically to make it worse than Chancellor (a card not famous for being strong). So I dropped it. I turned it into a village in Guilds, then moved it to Dark Ages, where I made it always dig for actions, with no choice. That card was a bit too strong and also slowed down games more than an ideal amount. So now it just looks at the top 3 cards and leaves the actions on top.
