Really ? Seriously I have no problems with the knights. I remember the name of all dominion cards and their effects, I don't see why it is so hard for Knights.Why can't we just use their real names? It isn't that hard. Donald did this as a tribute to people who are important to him and helped him bring us this wonderful game.Indeed, it's not hard.
It's impossible to remember.

Celestial Chameleon and the Blue Dogs.No one will ever come up with a band name better than "Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem."Salacious Crumb.
Also, Eccentric Flint.
I could go on.
I once met a small band who named themselves "Special Guest". To get tons of gigs obviously.
Journeyman's sifting is actually even more huge than Embassy in the early game. If you skip two estates with Journeyman, you essentially drew 5 cards and only discarded 2!! Whereas with Embassy you would have discarded 3 cards and also have given your opponent a silver. So, I would say it seems Journeyman seems to be a solid terminal draw card.
Or maybe one that gets stronger the more Coin tokens you have? Like:
Take a Coin token. For every Coin token you have, +1 Card.
You could save them, and after a while you would be drawing an insane amount with it. It seems like it would be a good BM enabler.
Horn of Plenty has the same weirdness, it's a Treasure giving $0. Why not leave the $0 out? Bank doesn't list a value, but has question marks in the corners, so we already knew a Treasure didn't have to specify a fixed amount.
You know, there's also the irreducible complexity issue.
As was pointed out in the marauder article thread, BM does not suffer THAT much from the first ruins. Plus marauder is a rather slow looter.
Also underrated are Pillage and City. All 3 of these cards have the ability to (at least reasonably often) completely dominate the board to the point where the whole game revolves around them, and this attribute keeps them in the top half of the $5 cards in my book.
Really, Haggler belongs in a specific family of gainers alongside Hoard and Explorer. Actually, it's theoretically incredibly similar to Explorer, but much better in practice.
I disagree. Hoard and Explorer are restricted to gaining treasure. Haggler is not. That's one way to use Haggler, sure. But the ability to gain action cards makes it *much* more versatile.
Do you find its price point too competitive?
Yes, I suppose that's my mindset on the card
And yes, gainers are really good for engine components, but the thing is you'll often open with Workshop if you plan on gaining lots of Village type cards. Armory is $4, and if there is a good terminal at $4 then you may be wasting an opening buy simply for the topdecking. It depends on the set-up, but often I find that there is another $4 card I can open with that will help me more.
Congratulations for your win!
I played in the qualification, but I failed with this game, because I was really unlucky with my King's Courtes:Quote— GwinnR's turn 28 —After this I only could resign.

[Please don't tell me, that they say "GwinnR wins!" at the bottom. I resigned and this is only to mock me]
I gave GendoIkari his 1000th respect
