I am surprised neither of you choose either Vault or Catacombs for a terminal!
By the way, how does Vault-money compare to Catacombs-money?
I can't figure out what Christmas song this is...
Hermit, Smugglers, Baron, Farming Village, Gardens, Silk Road, Cache, Council Room, Festival, Hoard
5. You play it, not only does your opponent draw a great hand, but you draw CEEE.Pretty much every card is luck-based. Terminal draw relies on drawing it along with Villages, for example.
That said, you're list is missing the most frustratingly random card in the game: Minion.
Minion is not random at all. It follows a strict set of rules:
1. If you play them, and do not choose discard/draw, opponent had an awesome hand.
2. If you play them, and choose discard/draw, your opponent discards his crappy EEECC hand for a much better one.
3. If you have a crappy hand, and opponents plays Minions, he'll never choose discard/draw.
4. If you have a god hand, and opponents plays Minions, he will certanly choose discard/draw.
That is all.
Your respect matches your number of posts.

I think it's some kind of second tiebreaker. Then it's a coinflip.
This is tense!
I always thought it was common knowledge that Minion decks lose badly against any kind of cursers (or other junkers).
I am a US citizen but live in Switzerland. Can I compete for Switzerland?
, but unfortunately another tournament aside from the German one is a bit too much for me)
But the results of the poll are shown in the thread when you log in. Recycle won by about 2:1.Reserved for results
Just noticed that the actual results aren't shown yet. Do you still have the results somewhere, Last Footnote?
No, giving advice is not mean, but I think that it's generally a good idea to spend coin tokens very fast, unless you are saving them in order to delay your greening.

Oh. I was thinking you had more than 5.defense against knights.Knights can't trash Alchemists.
Exactly. So they're a better defense against Knights if they're not in your hand.
My first instinct on this board would be HP-Stables with two Hagglers and try and line them up with the Necropolis, I don't think the points from Bishop would be enough to be worth it. Bishop will help your opponent trash their shelters which is a big deal for HP, and urchin probably hurts Bishop too.Hunting party and Stables together ? I don't get the idea.
I thought Hunting party was optimal with only one other kingdom card.
i would be very surprised many village openings with high +skill among council room's best openings.
But you still need the special cards to trigger the reshuffle.But in order to trigger the reshuffle at a bad moment, you still need special cards (such as Smithy). Against BMU, Possession helps the opponent on average (because cycling is good until the end game).I think maybe on averange, you hurt them. Of course you get averange hands, but you can do something with that hands, what he wouldn't do and don't wants you to do. Examples: Taking all good cards from Native Village-mat, passings good cards with Masquerade or Ambassador, using all coin tokens, put back bad cards with Courtyard, Count or Mandarin. This are nice things you can do with special cards, but as already said, you can also hurt him by triggering the reshuffle at a bad moment and so on.Possession definitely feels like an attack whenyour opponentthe player to your right plays one.
As for this "you aren't hurting them" business, you can easily hurt them by effectively skipping their key cards, setting up a bad shuffle, etc. It's just that you can't do that every single time and it hurts some decks more than others.
You can hurt them on individual hands that way, but you can also help them by skipping a crap hand. You don't hurt them on average, which is why it isn't an attack. People just tend to remember the bad more than the good due to one of those psychological phenomena -- negativity bias, I think?
But I think, the main purpose of Possession is to play it in engines, so you can play it often enough. And in engines, triggering a reshuffle can cause 1 or 2 almost dead turns for your opponent.
