One of the least used uncommons, and it's not hard to see why. I like the idea of it, but I think it deserves to be more powerful. If Fair Trade can give +15 stock/+1 facilities, why can't this card be equally powerful (but in the opposite direction)? I think -15/-15 stock would be more interesting. I think Plague decks are really cool, but kind of underpowered. Buffing this card to a decent power level would help.

Fair trade is uncommon, this is a common card. I agree that it needs a buff, though.

difficult times are uncommon...

but maybe make them common could be a good way to make it useful :)

Oh.. right I kind of confused it with Wealth :P

another card that needs a buff.
For difficult times i suggest to make the stock loss based on facilities' numbers:
each player loses N stock, N=#of his facilities (max12?)
To be clear: if I have 3 quarry, 2 magic and 5 dungeons I lose 10 stock (not 3/2/5)
... maybe it's too powerful this way?

I think the simple solution would be to make:

Difficult times
-> change to common
-> stock -8/-8

Wealth
-> stock +8/+8

What do you think?

I don't think so, it's "small version" of Gift from the heavens... Both cards are quite danger to use but not bad..
if you make it +8/+8 it will be often better than prosperity ;) (which btw really need to be buffed ;) )

Prosperity can give you 12 stock for free, so that's different. I think this would be quite balanced because it effects both players.

I plan to change Gift from the heavens, because it overlaps with Fair trade and doesn't fit holy keyword.

Yes, it "can", but I wrote "often" and it's true (and it's rare)... I stopped to use it almost in all decks where I had it because of that...
at least if it's possible to swap the order of stock gain, as first +6 for the player with lower stock and then for you (so you always get +12 stock if you have lower stock in the moment when you play it).

And ok, if Gift will be also modified, it could be ok to change Wealth to +8/+8 (even if I used it sometimes in this form...)

Perfect suggestion

I guess that would be ok, but it will look silly. I mean:

Player(s) with lowest stock gets
Stock: +6
Stock: +6

I think I'll use the always statement.

Alternately, it could be worded:

If stock < opponent's stock
stock +12
else both players gain stock +6
