Worth 1$ per card on your bronze mat
Bronze mat Setup (In rulebook)
Put one bronze on every player's bronze mat

When you buy a victory card trash a card from your bronze mat(your choice).
Any ideas on how to make the card more concise?

Goko Dominion Online / Cultist incorrect implementation.
« on: July 04, 2016, 01:02:39 pm »
After playing cultist multiple times and You decline to play cultist it asks whether you want to play cultist again for every cultist in play. It should not because the first cultist uses up its ability to play another cultist and so on. After all the cultist says you may play a cultist no multiple cultist.

« on: February 19, 2016, 08:02:10 am »
Update: This will probably last a bit longer than originally planned
Welcome to the scavenger tournament. THis tournament is a little bit different than my previous one so read through everything before signing up.

Rules
1. The matches are first to 4 wins.
2. If needed Matches can be split over multiple periods of time
3. If the client gives out on you than that is counted as a loss unless if you're opponent is gracious enough to give you a tie.(Hint don't sign up if you're client is not working very well)
4. All results will be posted in this thread.
5. If you become inactive then your next opponent gets a automatic win.(If you have not played any matches you can have a sub with compatible Iso rating)
6. Matches will be scheduled here (I will try to accommodate various vacations)
7. Standard random unless both players decide differently.
8. point counter is by default on but if both players agree it can be turned off.
9. No more than 4 starts for a player otherwise whoever is losing the match gets starting player If the match is tied making fun decides starting player.
11. If you stream you cannot look at your streams chat while playing.

Structure
Single elimination.
Seeded by iso rating
Sign ups are open one spot left

Dominion Articles / How to play well: The key questions
« on: February 18, 2016, 11:17:26 pm »
I sometimes notice players(including myself) not play well. This is because they are not focused. These questions should help you stay focused on winning. Let's suppose we have a kingdom with junk dealer, margrave, highway, village and some irrelevant cards.
The first question we should ask ourselves is what is the most effective way of winning?
Since this board has no alt-vp cards we need to get provinces to score points or end the game on piles. This leads us to ask:
What do we want our deck to look like before we start greening?
We want our deck to look something like this. 1 junk dealer,5 highways(more is always better but in a mirror you will probably get 5, 3 margraves(To draw deck, attack and give + buy), one village per margrave you get.
How do we get there?
Because most of our engine pieces are costing 5 and there are no kingdom cards that help us hit 5 better than silver we should open double silver. If we get lucky enough to get 5/2 we should pick up a junk dealer. Junk dealer helps us trash which is a good thing.
Why do we want to trash?
We want to trash because when we draw a card we want to draw a card that helps us have a better turn. If that junk card had not been in your deck you would have drawn a better card. Suppose I drew a hand of 3 coppers and a margrave and a estate. Now let's suppose that I had trashed all those estates and coppers. I would have drawn many more villages/draw cards/highways if those junk cards wouldn't have been there.
On 4-3$ hands you should get villages because silvers do not help you that much and will clog your hands up eventually(Do not be afraid to trash your starting silvers)
After we get two junk dealers we should think about how our deck is doing.
If we have several villages but have not trashed very many cards it is probably time for a highway.
If not pick up a margrave.
How do we win the key splits?
In this case highways are the key split because that will be our main source of economy.
There are many ways to try to do this. In this board you really have two options
1)Buy highways earlier than your opponent
2)Get +buy cards two buy two(or more) highways in a turn.
Skip forward a few turns...
You and your opponents deck should look something like this:
5 highways, two junk dealers, 5 dollars of real economy(non-highways), 3 stop cards, 2 margraves, 2-3 villages.
How do you want to plan the endgame?
Given that you do not have enough economy to double province(provinces cost 3) but can draw your deck every turn(almost)You have a few options
1)Go straight for green
2)Get cards that help you control piles (Margrave helps give you + buy)
3)Get enough economy to double province (single gold should do the trick)
After the game is over you should ask yourself:
Why did I win/lose And What did I do different than my opponent
This is a tough question. Many times you can do more than one option at one time.

Dominion General Discussion / Saltiness

How do you play well in suboptimal circumstances? If you're salty how do you stay on top of the game instead of resorting to being bad at Dominion? If you have had bad luck in previous games how do you prevent blaming everything on luck and not playing well because of it?

It seems like there is a spam bot making accounts on this forum. If you go to latest members for many new "members" there is a about me text that uses bad English that seems like it is a robot making the account. It is cut off after a certain amount of characters which probably means that the bot isn't very intelligent and is just pasting things/generating them.

Dominion General Discussion / Super old quotes
« on: January 27, 2016, 10:19:31 pm »
This is the place to quote really old strategy tips laugh at our dominion misconceptions. All goodnaturedly of course. 
I will give an example:
I will give an example:Yeah, Ironworks/Gardens is what I think is the "root Combo". By this I mean the thing that is so good, absolutely nothing else beats it. And since I made that postulation, at least in my own games, it's been true: in any game with both ironworks and Gardens on the board, I've only lost in games where my opponent also went for a variation of this strategy. Now, this isn't to say you shouldn't go for other cards WITH this combo - i.e. if workshop is on the board, you should prolly go workshop/ironworks/gardens - but I have yet to think of a board where a gardens/ironworks-centred deck doesn't win at least 50% of the time. It's incredibly resilient at any rate, and can absorb most problems other decks can throw at it, especially curse-givers, which a lot of other strategies can't boast of, and it is fast enough to beat a lot of other strats.And
I'll have a standing challenge to anyone to beat me Ironworks/Gardens without going Ironworks/Gardens themselves (okay, mirror match is fine too, but that's a different story altogether, and I haven't gotten it often enough to be confident I have it 100% tuned for the mirror). I'm not saying I'll win every time, but I should win over 50%, especially if you control for player order advantage.Challenge accepted

Goko Dominion Online / Pro leaderboard
« on: January 24, 2016, 11:23:14 pm »
On the goko client the pro leaderboard had roughly 100 people above 5000. On the making fun client there is olny 70 people above 5000. Does this mean that less people play on the new client than before? It is easier to reach lever 40 is level than it was so this seems like conflicting information. Did the making fun people change the algorithm?

Does anyone know what they are for?
If there isn't something special you can do with your buddies let's ask theory to do something about it.
Any suggestions for what buddies should do?

After my opponent duded with two KCs in hand I got my first king's court. After turn 16 he can't dud because of kc haven shenanigans. I am not sure what I should have done better.

This is the thread to talk about things other than scout. (Scout things go here)
Feel free to sway the conversation to anything Dominion strategy related(except for scout)
Let's talk about theif.
Theif is a card that is pretty bad
Questions:
What Types of games like theif?
How many times do you need to play theif for it to effectively destroy a terminal draw big money strategy?
In a thief slog with gardens when do you get theif?
