I don't even know if my ranks counted.
I don't know where exactly Scouting Party is going to end up, but it's definitely too high already.
That said, I do expect to see Scouting Party in the next batch of cards. On some boards (those without strong trashing, or those where fast cycling is especially important, or those without extra gaining), Scouting Party is very valuable. But on others, it's pretty weak.

Patrician kind of sucks but people will get that eventually.
Patrician kind of sucks but people will get that eventually.
The problem with Patrician is that it's a late-game card that costs (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/images/thumb/3/3d/Coin2.png/16px-Coin2.png). There's zero point in opening with it. It's nice later in the game when you've actually built up your deck and want a little more consistency, but by that point the Emporia are kind of pointless, if they even ever get revealed at all.
Based on its absence from #21-30, it looks like Save went up. Very deserving!yeah i have it at 11

Man, I sure buy Delve a lot more than I buy Advance, I tell you what.
It seems that the majority of time you buy Advance, you could likely buy Delve+Advance instead.
Holy shit, you voters haven't a clue how good Advance and Encampment are. None at all.
(Of course at the end of this I'm gonna look at my list and find out that Advance and Encampment are right there too, lol. But seriously, Advance at 18???)
Encampment at #4
I have Stonemason atEncampment at #4
Encampment is not #4. I can name 4 2 cost cards off the top of my head that are defiantly better than it. Stonemason, page, peasant, chapel.
Ratcatcher is also not level 26. It is about as good fools gold.I doubt it.
Yeah, Ratcatcher is nowhere close to Fool's Gold; it's way better.
I am pretty happy with where Ratcatcher sits. It's probably the lowest opportunity cost trasher, and it plays a unique role among trashing cards. It's not so bad you would prefer no trasher to it on many boards (trade route).
It is uniquely good because it gets out of the way and stays there unless you use it. No trasher has less long term impact on your deck. It has a niche in being able to ditch that Chapel without leaving any residue in your deck, and that's handy.
It's not stellar but it gets the job done. Raze is better, sure.

Well yeah, I agree, Ratcatcher has a niche, it's not completely awful. If nothing else it's a very easy $2 buy that never harms your deck (outside of terminal draw-BM and similar cases). And trashing is always good. But as far as trashing goes, Ratcatcher is so incredibly slow that place #13 is definitely too high. It's an average $2 card at best.
I also don't understand why Qvist calls it a "strong trasher"
Fool's gold is actually mainly a payload card. In engines where you can draw deck it is 4$ for 2$ 1buy. If you want some examples wanderingwinder has exemplified this in at least on of his videos.True, but then it doesn't really deserve to be that much better than Poor House.

I think the top ten is mostly right. Peasant is better than Page, Save is better than FG / Courtyard, but close enough. Later today I'll do one of those Adam style "compare my list to this list" mega postsI was gonna post all of this. Honestly, I don't think Courtyard should be in there, it needs to be replaced by Delve.
I have Encampment at 5, and I may be underrating it. You guys have no idea how crazy good that card is.I have encampment at 10. There are a bunch of good cards.

Trash up to 4 Victory cards from your hand. Put the rest back in any order.
You missed a con: You can't put Lost Arts on Fool's Gold. Lost Arts on Poor House is really good!Fool's gold is actually mainly a payload card. In engines where you can draw deck it is 4$ for 2$ 1buy. If you want some examples wanderingwinder has exemplified this in at least on of his videos.True, but then it doesn't really deserve to be that much better than Poor House.
Let's make a pros and cons list of going for Fool's Gold over Poor House. Let's start with cons:
* Poor House is ever so slightly cheaper in a way that is almost never meaningful
* Poor House can be Throned/King's Courted
Now pros:
* Doesn't take an Action to play
* Doesn't mind you having other Treasures in hand
* Plays nicely with Stables
* Doesn't take an Action to play
* Has a nifty opener with Nomad Camp
* Is great with Treasure gainers, like Mint and Mine
* Doesn't take an Action to play
Engines with fools gold as payload a lost arts on something else are better than engines without that. I don't know why you want poor house in a non engine.You missed a con: You can't put Lost Arts on Fool's Gold. Lost Arts on Poor House is really good!Fool's gold is actually mainly a payload card.

The joke is that Poor House is much improved by being non-terminal, but Fool's Gold is non-terminal to begin with so it's not much of a con for Fool's Gold.You missed a con: You can't put Lost Arts on Fool's Gold.

Also, I still don't know how to properly rank Save/Alms/Borrow. They're all just like things you do when they're on the board, but their "importance" relative to actual cards that go in your deck is weird to evaluate. (I get that every event is this way, but most of them are core parts of a strategy. These are all super tactical and get used every time they're out, to some extent.)

It's interesting but utlimately uninteresting in most games it's in. Who buys Silver in 2016?
Large differences (more than 5 places) between the Qvist ranking (excl. Empires) and my own list:About these 3.
Travelling Fair (5 on my list, 18 on the Qvist list without Empires): Wow is this thing seriously underrated. I really thought it would get a huge boost this year. What really makes it shine is the combination of adding +Buy whenever you need it AND the option to topdeck stuff. No more $11 Herbalists and no more being sad about 2/5 openings when there's a strong $3 trasher, those are two huge deals. Definitely top 10 material.
Scouting Party (31/21*): I just don't see the appeal. Sorry guys. It's just a last resort buy if you happen to have $2 leftover, and one that can seriously backfire at that.
Borrow (21/15*): I agree with SirSlugma that this one is very difficult to rank, but I guess I can understand why most people like it higher on the list than I do. It can certainly make a big impact in certain situations, depending on your draws. The thing is, if your draws are lucky enough, you'll pretty much never need to buy it.
Delve - 20 on Qvist, 27 on mine

You do! Out of curiosity, I looked at your last ten games on Gokosalvager (12/3-12/6). You bought Silver in 9/10 games. And in the tenth, you gained Silver with Jack of All Trades.

squire is a village, you guys
Squire is really overated.squire is a village, you guys
villages are always underrated in these things, period. never fails
I can't believe Stonemason is #4. No doubt it affects the overall flow of a game a lot, with 3 piling and what not. And yeah it has cool tricks -- turning Golds into 6vp late, Quarry, getting 2 Scrying Pools per turn, etc. -- but seriously!? Better than Save, Raze, Alms, Borrow (can you guess what I had at #4 through 7?) !?!? I mean, anything can do cool tricks given the right Kingdom (Secret Chamber, Transmute, etc.). I don't get it.
