But not as fun as Menagerie.Library says what's up.
Maybe you don't understand the meme...?
Tunnel or Horse Traders would be better anyway.
Some Dutch translations are awful. "Familiar" was translated into "Oude Bekende" which means "Old acquaintance"...
I try to go for Conspirator way more than I ought to, or with really crappy Cantrips with no plus buy (where BM would probably be faster).
The problem you run into facing Governor isn't the speed. It's the ability to finish the game at will.
A Governor deck can pick up 1-2 Provinces and wait until it can pick up the last 2-3 in one turn, even on boards where no other deck can pull off multi-Prov turns.
Would it be fair to say that Mercenary is an improvement of a Militia? Granted, the cost to activate it can be extreme.
I love how there are two Dark Ages cards (Hermit and Scavenger) that are very similar to some Base cards (Workshop and Chancellor) that most people dislike, but the same qualities that they are disliked for are the ones the Dark Ages cards seem to be liked for.
Workshop - Gain something worth up to $4 "Omg, ew, how many $4 cards do you need? $5s are SO much better."
Hermit - Gain something worth up to $3 "OMG YOU CAN GET SILVERS."
Well... you could use the Workshop to get Silvers, too... I do like the discard-trash thing on Hermit, but seeing so many people squee about its crappy Workshop deal is weird.
Chancellor - You may put your deck in your discard "Omg, ew, that's stupid and I'd never buy that."
Scavenger - You may put your deck in your discard "OMG THAT'S SO POWERFUL."
Granted, Scavenger lets you top-deck, and I like that, but still.
Or you just draw a Gold with your +1 Card, and don't want another one which is behind it as it will make you overplay for Province.
The best example of this would be treasure map. You know that the next 4 cards of your deck are golds. You may only want one of those golds, and intentionally guessing Curse will result in a guaranteed province next turn.
