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.
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.
IRL I like using 3, but no more than 2 of any one kind. More than that and analysis paralysis gets worse.
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.
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.
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.
Sorry, I don't understand the bolded in your quote.
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!
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.
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!)
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?
The choice is obvious: a Dominion game with Possession and Donate
