Dominion General Discussion / Which cards are the most affected by Capitalism?
« on: January 28, 2019, 04:03:33 pm »
I was playing a game with friends after I'd bought Renaissance. We did a whole game of all Action cards giving money and Capitalism and it raised an interesting question: We know what cards are affected by Capitalism, but which cards are the most changed, positively or negatively, when under Capitalism?
The cards in question don't have to be directly affected by Capitalism (i.e. have +coin in their text), but they benefit in some way, either positively or negatively by the addition of Capitalism.
A good example of a card positively affected, proven during our game, is Minion. Minion in and of itself can be irritating when played as an action, but can be even more devilish as a Treasure; since you can play it as a Treasure during your Buy Phase (with Capitalism), the smartest play is to use it to discard unnecessary Victory cards from your hand and draw 4 more cards, possibly allowing you to get even more Treasures (or Minions)
Since most cards in some way are positively affected, I was also wondering about cards that are negatively affected, and nothing really came to mind. Maybe Poor House, but even then I could see it as valuable if it's the last Treasure you play when you have no more Treasures in hand.
So, which cards do you guys think are the most positively or negatively affected by Capitalism? I'd love to hear what people think.
