ADMINION - Dominion Spin-Off

[ch3cooh]

Halloo, I've been working on a Dominon set for ESP (MIT student group that runs programs where college-students+ teach classes for 7th-12th graders.)  I want the set to be at basically the same power level as normal dominion (aka, if I introduced a card from this into normal dominion, it wouldn't be very over or under powered.)  And I think I want this following list of cards to be the base set.  So, it should have a good balance of costs, card draw, buys, money, actions. Before I spend a bunch of time printing and cutting, etc.  I'd love to get feedback - anything from typos to massive play glitches in the new cards would be very good to know!  Suggestions for other cards, also cool. :)
 
Flavor: "You are the chair of ESP.  In an 'almost' ideal world.  Thus, you do nothing yourself but recruit admin, order resources, and Delegate to the admin you have recruited.  Resource cards (treasure) can be used to attain other resources or recruit admin (action-cards) or get students, teachers, and programs (victory-cards).  By default, your hand size is 5 cards and you can delegate (play an admin) once per turn and buy one card per turn given the resources you have accumulated."

Aka: Actions are Admins, and +1 action (the ability to play an extra admin) is instead +1 Delegate
Attack Actions are Admin-CRISIS

Renamed Base Cards:
Copper ->  Candy, Silver -> Juice, Gold -> Food Delivery
Curse -> Parent, Estate -> Student, Duchy -> Teacher, Province -> Program

Ordered by Cost, These are the cards I plan to include in the first set:

4-costs

Morph Attack (Admin-Crisis) - Each player (including you) reveals the top card of his deck and either discards it or, if it is an admin, returns it to the supply and gains an admin of your choice within $1 of its cost.
Classroom (Resource-Victory) - worth $2 and 1vp - when this card comes into play you may set it aside with any other victory cards from your hand.  Return them to your deck at the end of the game.

For fun, here are a few of the prettier cards:

I'm definitely doing this - actually, to an extreme: the final plan is to print on common card-stock and sleeve the cards in nicer-than-average sleeves. I could afford to do it a more professional way, but I really want the game to grow and for other people to try making cards. :) I'm buying 1500 sleeves for 2 Resource/Victory sets and then one set of each card + a bunch of spare. But, as that's enough for about 75 non-base cards types, and I'm only making 24 this round, the hope is for the collection to grow!
