« on: August 05, 2011, 12:09:23 pm »(5) Discard a Curse to circumvent a Mountebank attack? (I guess there's one reason not to do this: you're ahead, and taking one more Curse or Copper will end the game. Any other reason not to do this?)
Besides the already mentioned:
- you want the coppers for counting house
- you want cards for gardens/phil stone
curses are probably - but not necessarily - already depleted at these points.
That's what I was going to say. Beaten to the punch again!
Also, one might choose not to discard a Curse if he is holding a Watchtower and wants to trash the Curse and Copper, rather than leave them in the supply.
