Hello everyone, sorry for another topic about expansion packs. I was just recently introduced to Dominion by one of my roommates, who has the Base Set. We have talked about maybe getting some expansions soon to make things more exciting. However, as I will probably ultimately want to have a collection of my own I am trying to consider what to purchase both considering the present and after this year.

I have seen that (particularly prior to Dark Ages and also giving our relative inexperience) that most people recommend Seaside/Prosperity for the first few expansion packs and a few people also recommend Intrigue. Plus, now there is Dark Ages, which may not be the best choice now, but could be a good option once we have had time with some of the expansion packs.

How viable would it be for me to buy Intrigue and Seaside/Prosperity in lieu of buying base set, maybe for a while. Can Intrigue and one of the other expansions (those two or other) provide a good range of options like the base set that I could use for a while without having the base set?  How well would Dark Ages work at some point in the future? Say we buy Seaside and Prosperity now and I later get DA?

So ultimately I'm looking for:
-What complements the base set well now and adds variety and interest to our current games
-What I could use to build a playable collection of my own before buying a base set

This could be in one or two big expansions and maybe an additional small expansion or two, if possible.


Also, I have started playing some games on Iso. I got thrown into a few games with cards from any deck and it was a bit difficult to adjust to the variety of cards. I feel pretty comfortable with the base set now and want to work on gradually work on easing cards from other sets into my games. I was thinking about trying to look over kingdoms from each set incrementally and easing those cards into the draws over time. Is there a good way to do this, that might differ from normal expansion buying advice?

Thanks everyone for the help.
