The thing about Lab is that it's just so darned good. I would say that on the vast majority of boards it is quite valuable to add a bunch of Labs to your deck, especially if you're going for an engine or combo. Even if your payload is another $5, it's rare that you want more than a handful of copies of that and then you stock up on Labs to make it easier to find them. Hunting Party is a strong competitor, but the two have quite different strengths and can even work together sometimes.Literally every deck will benefit from mass Labs (ok, with the exception of terminal draw-BM), the only question is is massing Labs really the best play or is there something faster. Combos like Wharf/some village will make me want to skip Lab altogether - not that this deck wouldn't benefit from Labs - it's just that gaining Wharfs in more important.
The bad thing is that Silver-gaining is basically a self-attack.
So you're attacking your opponent and your own deck.
You could definitely play the engine. Give him 10 ruins, 7 curses and then add banks and mangroves. The problem with the slog is it won't hit 3 p enough to get 3 pstones fast enough.How do you think your opponent will allow you to split curses 7/3 and ruins 10/0 ? When deciding whether to go for an engine or not, you can't count on your opponent to play in such an awful way.

I don't see why Soothsayer is that low though.
Well as we know, in order for a card to be any good at all, it needs to draw cards, provide +2 Actions, or thin your deck. Not only is Soothsayer a stop card, but it gains another stop card every time you play it. And on top of that, it even lets your opponents draw cards! It's like some sort of joke! I'm surprised it's not at the bottom of these rankings.
Soothsayer is too high. Knights, Count and Horn of Plenty are too low.
