Dominion Articles / Re: Poacher
« on: September 20, 2017, 04:28:56 pm »
Yeah... You are probably almost never opening double Poacher because of Baker. Baker lets you open with a 5, so you are almost always going to be doing that.

But if you Catapult Trusty Steed, it doesn't even do anything to your opponent.

In six months we're gonna have the exact same thread about Sauna and Avanto. Just calling that one now.

Hype cycles happen. Herald is still really good though; it's Village and draw in one as long as you have a little thinning.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: How many Events and Landmarks do you use?
« on: September 13, 2017, 09:15:00 am »
IRL I like using 3, but no more than 2 of any one kind. More than that and analysis paralysis gets worse.

I think LFN said play testing did this some, and I thought it sounded good so I also use this method.

A 101 topic came to mind, but I'm not a writer, so if anyone thinks it's good, they should write it. The topic is, "the importance of early economy". Commentary on how your starting deck is not good at hitting 5, the importance of $5 cards, and why buying a Village on turn 1 is a bad idea.

It's possible this article already exists.

In theory, I still use Coppersmith, but it hasn't come up since it was removed.

Dominion Articles / Re: Occasionally Relevent Rule Edge-Cases
« on: September 10, 2017, 02:57:20 pm »
Overlord-Conspirator came up in a game for me yesterday. I did not know this one. In Discord, Mic Qsenoch pointed out that there was a rule change/ruling change since Dark Ages came out that affected this interaction. I would like a link to when this happened.

http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=13115.msg487471#msg487471
Conspirator is a confusing case; obv. I am sad it doesn't just count Action cards in play like Peddler. Conspirator counts Actions, not "cards," which helps a little; two Actions were played, BoM and whatever. So, Conspirator sees "I played BoM as Village" as "I played two Actions." A rulings reversal.

Earlier that that post in that thread the rule is mentioned as it previously was with it only counting as one card played for Conspirator.

That thread also mentions another interaction that might belong here, which is that if you Throne a BoM/Overlord, and choose a card that trashes itself on the first play (e.g. Embargo), then it stops being that card when it enters the trash and becomes BoM/Overlord again before it is played a second time, allowing you to pick a second target, which is not something you could do otherwise.

33
I personally would approve of the wiki not having "strategy advice". If there is good strategy advice available for a card, it makes more sense to me to publish it as an article, and link to that from the wiki.

Maybe there is a really simple "beginner tips" template that can be filled out for all the cards, and linked from the wiki. Also, if that is something you guys think is a good idea, that would make for one piece of really consistent long lasting content that could be done pretty easily once a week or something.

Maybe it's a terrible, idea, but if not, these are a few things that came to mind just now:
-General power level
-Things to look out for (cards or types of cards the improve/worsen it)
-Tricks (ways to use it that may not be obvious)

I'm probably going to take the Transmute bit out, probably sliding an Amulet bit in its place or something.

Why?  The Transmute bit is interesting, and it highlights a little-used card, to boot.

Because after further analysis, it appears it probably isn't actually good unless the board is very weak.

35
Articles should be posted to any other places that contain people interested in giving feedback as well.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Banning 5 Cards
« on: September 03, 2017, 11:55:13 am »
I'm a fan of jokes, but I can't see any difference between posting them because you want upvotes vs. because you think they are funny. Upvotes in this context are just a reflection of how funny people think it is. I think it is especially ridiculous within the context it was mentioned on discord, which was related to the frequency of this behavior derailing threads here on f.ds. Your motivation for posting does not have any bearing on whether a post is on topic.

People who do not like jokes posted in strategy threads will not change their opinion of your jokes based on your motivation for posting them. This is mostly obvious because your intention is not something they can know.

Sorry, I don't understand the bolded in your quote.

He is implying that under your system, he could avoid ever playing games with Possession by blacklisting any player he played against when Possession appeared. He is also implying that Possession is so un-fun that he would be personally obligated to do so, and his pool of available players would therefore be reduced.

I think it's a great idea. Sometimes, certain cards don't mesh well with certain players. My list would be:

1. Transmute
2. Transmute
3. Transmute
4. Transmute
5. Transmute

But Transmute is an awesome card! It lets you get more Transmutes!

That's why you have to ban it 5 times.

« on: August 27, 2017, 10:46:33 pm »
I joined the forum in June 2011 as the 123rd person here, which seems low to me. I didn't realize how new it was when I joined (or maybe I just don't remember). I'm not sure how long I had played before that, but I had probably played on Iso for a while and lurked a bit before I joined the forum.

Rules Questions / Re: Encampment with Crown or Throne Room
« on: August 18, 2017, 01:05:48 pm »
Well, you play cards by taking them from your hand and putting them into play. How do you play a card again when it is already in play? The answer is, Throne Room says to do it so you do. Playing a card when it is set aside isn't really weirder than playing a card when it is in play.

Things don't get delayed to cleanup unless the effect says it happens in cleanup.

My guess is you don't replace them all. If there are 7, I would guess suggested play is to randomize them separately. Probably they don't all relate to trashing, because sometimes you don't have that.

Well, it does work to trash your estates at least...

44
Cost is reduced 4. Convert buys into draw to find more treasure.

You would need Villa to play those treasures. Or something like Save or Haunted Woods for there to be a purpose.

Good call... One of those things then.

or for some shenanigans, you have a ton of buys, and own some Feodum. You already bought and topdecked a Trader. Do the Rats thing to draw it and then gain a ton of Silver with Copper buys.

45
Buying Rats just to trash it w/ a Watchtower in hand?(No Tom lol so easy. Doesn't empty a pile, Rats were full so not even close.

Not revealing Province for Explorer(no Feodum! or Keep:)

Opening w/ two Crossroads?

Butchering a Village into a Port(no Tomb!)

Cost is reduced 4. Convert buys into draw to find more treasure.

Gold pile is empty.

You like losing.

Anything that cares about differently named cards.

Handing out a curse token is also not exactly the same as gaining a vp token because of the universal edge case (aided by its recent errata), Possession.

If it wouldn't be rude for me to ask, when will sneak peeks be here?  ;)

They usually happen a week or two before release.  So, sometime in October.

But when will they be here if it would be rude for him to ask?

In November, because Donald delayed the set a month out of spite because of teamlyle's rudeness.

The choice is obvious: a Dominion game with Possession and Donate

Make sure you add Lurker too.
