So, this idea, especially for a newbie, is pretty good. The main problem I see is that it is pretty much a big money card exclusively, as the benefits aren't good enough for it to be good in an engine (I think), which also means it's going to be pretty much exclusively used for the bottom option which is basically a boring but strong $6 card.So looking at the possible options:
+$2, +2 actions, -1 buy is horrendous. It's worse than Festival by a long way, so it's like you're getting a $3 or $4 card from your $6. Not all options have to be equal, but I would imagine this option being so rarely used as to barely matter at all.
+$1, +2 cards is a kind of wonky $4 card, essentially. It's... okay. The fact you have the choice of this of course raises it's price, but this is still a pretty meh option.
+$4, -1 action is massively strong in big money. The -1 action won't matter, because you won't have an action to lose, so you basically get a terminal +$4. It goes without saying, BM would love to grab this over Gold, if they haven't already grabbed a terminal. I can't say just how good this would be in BM, I suspect probably stronger than BM+Smithy, Probably less than BM+Courtyard, but... really, this is the only worthwhile choice on the card.
To improve this, I think you should think about the possible benefits and drawbacks, and try and make at least two competitive choices from the card. Perhaps you could have choose 2, with 4 choices, each with a different drawback.
If you want to see an official card with the ideas you're implementing, look at Count. Might give you an idea.
