Dominion Articles / Re: You have X buys on your turn. You are NOT required to use them.

I have one: Buying Estates to trash a turn 1/2 Hovel... Generally not a good play IMO. I'd say 4 out of 5 times you are better off without the estate.

I would think that you're better off without the Estate more than 4 out of 5 times. It's a good play if there's a particular reason why you want an Estate in your deck rather than a Hovel (e.g. you want a card that costs $2 rather than a card that costs $1, or you want a card that can be returned to the supply), but it's practically never a good idea to do it just because you can.

If you only have $2 and there are no 1/2 cost actions?  What reason could there be not to do it?  Your deck is practically identical but contains one more point...

no, it's not

Let's compare both scenarios:

Assuming that you will have exactly the same draws your deck will be identical with the only differnce that you have an estate instead of the hovel.
But once you buy a green card while having estate/hovel on the hand you can see the difference.
You will be able to trash the hovel then but you won't be able to do the same with the estate. So your deck consists of one estate more. Buying the estate is only better if you want to have this additional estate at that point (e.g. no +buy --> tiebreaking). But usually keeping the hovel (and waiting with trashing) is the better alternative.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Cards you hate!

I don't like Black market at all. Sometimes it's a pretty cool card because you are able to play your treasures earlier. This is awesome in Draw to X or in DoubleTactician for example. But the main effect is ridiculous. Some cards of the BM deck are usually just game changing and give you a free win. Just a few examples:
- Tournament
- Goons
- Villages or even Crossroad in a Kingdom with awesome Terminals and without Villages
- Chapel (in you hit it early)
- Mountebank
