Dominion General Discussion / Re: The Dominion Cards Lists 2018 Edition
« on: January 30, 2019, 07:40:58 am »I've finished all the by-cost card rankings, but the "all cards" ranking is just kind of absurd. I really don't want to rate Tournament against everystarting from the bottom. And then do the same with Mountain Village. And then with Border Village. And then with Black Market...
Like initially said, the compare method is definitely not the recommended method anymore as it takes way too long.
Anyway, please finish your lists, deadline is approaching. Also, make sure to mark your lists as finished.

Letting your opponent get 10 Magpies with being so easy to put tokens on them, seems like a big mistake.

"Saving" just is a flag that tells me to count your list. It doesn't actually save anything.
So you "save" when you are done with the lists.
Not sure why copying did not work, sorry

At 17:58 you played WM and could have ordered Count on top, then play BC to draw it. Then play Count gain Copper, gain Duchy, buy Province.

First match I watched, so my first feedback on your gameplay. I am not the best player either, but here are my 5cents.
Why are you gaining a million Gold when you are only buying 1 Province a turn? You said there is no way to increase your handsize, but there is Moat. I think the goal is to gain only as much Gold as you need and go through your whole deck each turn and then double/triple Provincing. This means, you only want 1 Tunnel and Courtier is totally pointless here. Here is an example where I go for triple Province for reference: #21448693 Depending on what your opponent does you could then also add a Potion and buy an additional Vineyard each turn.
And when you bought Worker's Village for $11 you totally didn't want a free Forum with it?
You had no way to increase your handsize so 5 Golds is the max, so you had no way for a double Province, even though you were hoping for it. Also you definitely should have gotten the Duchy, with so much sifting and so many Golds, why do you think your deck would suffer from it?
I like your video though as a whole, keep em coming.

Dominion General Discussion / The Dominion Cards Lists 2018 Edition
« on: December 05, 2018, 03:59:57 am »
Six years have already passed since the first Dominion Card Lists were compiled, the skill level of all players raised and a lot of new knowledge is gained. Another new expansion was released, so everyone is eager to learn how the new cards rank. That means it's time for the 2018 edition of the Dominion Card Lists. Please read the following text carefully to avoid frustration.
What do you have to do?
If you like to contribute, go to http://www.qvist.de/dommesh for the best cards list. I won't do the favourite cards and the best card art list this year around as I won't have time to present the results.
This video from last year walks you basically through how the web app works or just read on:
I'm not the best web designer to make it look nice, but it works. You have 3 options to submit your list. You can 1.) compare two cards at a time or 2.) order the cards all at once in a big list or 3.) rate them with numerical values. If you do the first option, the app will tell you when you're done and no new "card duel" is available anymore. This is not the recommended method anymore as it takes a very long time to do this. Internally option 1 and 2 is stored in one list and option 3 in a separate list. There are 2 links for exporting one list to another, so you can for example first give each card a numerical value for a rough estimate and then copy the list and fine tune it by either ordering them or do the remaining comparisms. Be careful if you do so though as it is heavy load on the database. Make sure to have at least a 1-20 scale to not overload the database. I didn't include a registration or anything like that for this simple app. You can just login by your ShuffleIT name and any password you like. The next time you login you just have to remember the password you've set on your first login. I expect that nobody will trick me by using a user name of anyone else. If you have no ShuffleIT account, just use a user name of your choice. If you don't know an expansion very well you can choose to leave it out. But be sure that if you want to include a card of a specific expansion, you have to rank all cards of the expansion. There are no restriction with Promo cards, so if you don't know e.g. Summon or Dismantle very well, you can leave it out.
To clarify as there is much confusion apparently: You can vote in any of the 3 methods. Therefore a S, A, B, C, D, E, F voting works as long as you convert that to a 7 to 1 rating in the "Rate" method. Also: Don't forget to mark your lists as finished when you are.
Cards are only counted if they are kingdom cards. If you want to look up the card texts and also the last year's lists, just go to our wiki. http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com
If you submit your list, you also agree that I may give this to third party, like theory or rrenaud. If you don't agree send me a PM.
If you've submitted last year, I will not take your last submission into account.
I included extra lists for Prizes, individual Knights, Ruins, Events, Landmarks, Boons, Hexes and Projects. These are optional, you don't have to rank them if you don't want.
For Hexes, the "best" one is the one that is the most harmful.
You can also if you want rank all the kingdom cards in one big list. This is also optional as this takes a lot of time.
Usual disclaimer: This list should cause discussion not hassle. Of course it's difficult to compare some of the cards because pretty much every card has some situations where it shines and situations where it doesn't. This isn't a scientific list, just a compiled list of the community's opinion of the best cards.
What else?
Submission deadline is the 31st of January 2019 11:59pm UTC. Again: Don't forget to mark your list as finished until then.
Each card will get a percentage value based on the rank. So your best card gets 100% and your worst gets 0%. This will result in a compiled list of all of your lists.
As I don't have much time this year, results will get presented by a group of people with the upside of the results being presented in a much shorter time frame. Thanks for all the volunteers.
If you encounter some bugs, just send me a PM and I'll fix them ASAP.
Let's see how many submissions we get this time. The more we get the better the rankings will be. I can't wait to get your submissions. If you have any questions, ask them here.

I don't think this is a spoiler, but just to make sure in response to the "terrible ending": The terrible ending didn't make the whole season suck, just half of the 6th (last) season, its side storyline. Even in the finale the rest of the main storyline was amazing and tense throughout.

I don't think it would be too powerful as I elaborated. Wisp into Swamp is powerful then but how often do you activate it? Loading up on Swamps+Wisps doesn't seem so exciting without adding terminals which themselves reduce the possibility of Wisps activating. The comparism to Squire seems accurate. Current Swamp seems lackluster in comparism to Squire. Just my 2 cents as I don't know much about balancing those cards.

I agree with LFN. Swamp with $1 seems balanced. At $5 you get Swamp + Imp which is like a weaker Bazaar. The best deal is to get WoW + Swamp at $3 as WoW draws Swamp but Swamp is still only a Copper as long as you don't add other cards that need the actions. And if you add those cards WoW gets weaker and Ghost gets better. Also Ghost hitting Swamp is not as bad when Swamp has $1.

Just mentioning that Dark is amazing. I haven't enjoyed a show that much since Lost. Can't wait for Season 2. It's like the only German show I ever enjoyed, but the mix of SciFi, drama, romance etc is amazing. The atmosphere is so good. It took me a while to understand who everyone is and who is related with whom, but that was especially interesting to figure out.
