Why would anyone hate Smugglers?  It's fun.  It's like a fun Workshop+.  Maybe you don't get what you want, but you still get something.  In games where you're playing a mirror, it can be great.  You buy a Wharf, I Smuggle a Wharf and buy a village.

It's incredibly swingy. I could have a great turn, do all this stuff an get a nice shiny Wharf for my effort. Well, darn it, you Smuggled that Wharf and you get something else too. It's not that much of a fun card.

It's not a card, but Scouting Party is garbage.

It's a lot better than you think. :)

Possession, Rebuild, Spy, Governor

3 of them promote a style of play I don't like, and Spy is slow as fuck and doesn't even do anything.

What's wrong with Governor?

Highest amount of coin count in 3 turns, excluding the current coppers in your starting hands? Adventures allowed. Go crazy. I bet someone will get higher than I did. I currently have $18. As per rules, only 2 events per game.

Example:
T1/T2 buy Silver, Squire ($2)
T3 (hand: Squire, Silver, x3 copper) Play Squire for Silver ($3), buy Borrow ($1), Gold ($3)
Total: $9

Too Big To Fail Bank
Treasure/RSP
Cost: $8

Reveal your hand.  Play all treasures from your hand in any order.

Do the following line until you have at least four treasures in play:

Reveal the top card of your deck.  If it is a treasure, play it.  Otherwise, each player gains a Curse.

Discard the revealed cards.  +$1 for each Treasure in play.

------------

Set-up:  Add 30 Curses to the supply for each player in the game.

Edgecase: you have a hand of 4 Horn of Plenties and Too Big To Fail Bank. You don't hit Province then.

I play a Tactician this turn (it wasn't played the previous turn).  Then later this turn, I play some Treasures.  How?  Nothing from Adventures allowed.

Golem draws Tactician and a draw card, play Tac first, Draw card draws treasures.

It will take a lot more than RGIII to make the Browns good

Hillary Hag
Cost: $4
Action/RSP

Each other player discards the top card of his deck, then gains a Curse card, putting it on top of his deck.

If you do not gain this card, there is a special place in hell for you.

Okay, forget fantasy for now. Whatever.

The Browns signed RG3. Thoughts?

Rules Questions / Re: Thrown Room Variant + Duration
« on: March 24, 2016, 02:13:15 pm »
When I Throne Room a Caravan, why does the TR stay out?  I played the Caravan twice; the Caravan says nothing about TR.  And also, when I TR_1-TR_2-Caravan-Smithy, why does the TR_2 (or the TR_1) not stay out?  Or does MF just have this wrong?

And if the TR is supposed to stay out with the Caravan, why does the TR not "stay" with an Island?

It stays out with the duration to remind you that you double the effect.

TR doesn't double the value of Island, Island itself is only worth 2 VP. TR doesn't stay with an Island because it is not a duration.

I despise Rebuild. Simply despise it. But a card I hate even more? Treasury. I just don't like it at all. I hate buying it. It doesn't even seem all that good. Wow, an extra $1 for $5. Yippee.

On a side note, I don't actually hate Black Market. In fact, I rather like it.

Deal With The Devil
Event
Cost: $0

+1 Buy
+$1
Discard the top card of your deck.  The player to your left chooses whether you trash it or gain a copy of it.

1. Be first player
2. Buy this a million times
3. Buy the supply
4. Win

Events must be bought.  1-1+1 = 1 Buy.  Step 3 fails to happen.

You could add in Travelling Fair though.

Travelling Fair takes away the excess $1, so that doesn't work either.

You still get a guaranteed Province every turn, and if your opponent keeps insisting you get copies of things, you'll run two piles in Coppers and Estates, while still getting the Province. However, that is the best scenario for P2, which is still brutal because you only need to play Deal w/ the Devil as many times as you need for Province on subsequent turns, not an infinite number of times, thus making a Province hit unlikely. If P2 chooses to trash all the cards, you can simply get 5 Provinces without retribution of trashing, as they would be in your hand. After that, you simply get 8 Provinces in 8 turns. Brutal.

And Traveling Fair DOES work. It's too OP.

Dominion FAQ / Re: how to get card images in my post?
« on: March 24, 2016, 10:52:40 am »
Does the f.ds chrome extension have quick links to card images?

Thanks for the idea; this is done now! As well as a Kingdom visualizer. Checking on Firefox porting now.

Let me know when that comes out!

Hey guys. I'm doing a project for school where I actually create a digital library, and I've chosen to do it about Dominion cards. Is there a place where I can easily and quickly download PDF files of all the cards, like in a zipped folder? I could go to each page of the wiki, but that'd take a while.

Turn your Peddlers into activated Conspirators, turn your Conspirators into Gold cantrips, turn your Hamlets into Oasises (unless you discard twice, and you don't even have to discard!), it's very very nice to have. A relatively inexpensive way to increase your payload quickly. I think you want the engine more or less set up first, then set up this event on what card you have a ton of. A better one time buy than Gold, and it's worth more if you can play all your cards in one turn.

Win the magpie or port split big time? ...you know where I'm going.

If there is no +buy, this event's value is significantly diminished.

An inquiry: In a Smithy BM deck, Is it better to buy this Event and apply it to your Smithy over the first Gold?

Very Blue Dog

+1 card

When you would gain a card, you may reveal this to draw a card instead.
When you would draw a card, you may reveal this to gain a card costing less than this instead.

This is a higher skill card. I really like this Event, actually.

Not a great Event. Not terrible, but spending $5 to get two Silvers isn't fantastic at all. Silver is just more junk most of the time. In Big Money boards for example, it's worth $5 to sack a Copper/Estate or Estate/Estate to get two Silvers rather than buy Silver or an Action card. But overall, you'll know when to use this, and I don't think it'll be all that often.

The duration coin gives you a big turn and a small turn. It's great at setting up an early King's Court/Prince/Pathfinding

If you open 5/2, yes. If you open 3/4, then get to 5, I'm not as sure about that.

Anybody has any thoughts about Super Smash Bros for WiiU?
My group of friends casually played SSBB before the disc broke (long and sad story -.-'), and we're idly considering either having somebody buy a Wii U, buying a new SSBB, or finding a "free" solution to the SSBB problem.

That, Just Dance and Mario Kart are virtually the only stuff we play on the Wii, so I'm not sure we'd actually buy a new console even if SSB for WiiU is amazing.

I actually kind of liked Brawl so I'm uniquely qualified to answer this versus Melee purists.

SSB4 is strictly better than Brawl. Not even close. Not once since I have bought 4 have I even thought about playing Brawl. It's a very well balanced (for Smash) and very fun fighting game. It is worth getting a Wii U for (though also pick up Mario Kart 8 and 3D World, two of the best games in their respective serieses)

If I had a Wii U, SSB4 would be my first buy. Melee is accidentally deep (and is a bit deeper than SSB4) but SSB4 is just clearly a better game for me than Melee.

Definitely don't feel bad about it. Plagiarism is serious, but accusations of plagiarism are equally serious. He should have double and triple checked that the assignments were identical before accusing anybody.

I have Street Fighter V now. Never played it, so I'll obviously suck. But I'm pretty good at Smash Bros, so I hope I can adjust.

Sometimes I forget which thread this is, and then non sequiturs like these really throw me.

Don't worry, I won't plagiarize my opponent's moves.

Not a fantastic attack, but certainly not the worst. Gainers wreck this card though.
