The card I hate above all else is Torturer.  It's a powerful card that leads to really unfun games if your opponent gets his/her chain off first, and I'm actually very bad at constructing Torturer chains, so that happens a lot.

I was surprised to not see Torturer on the list. The card is so well named, when my opponents get it going, it is absolutely painful to sit and watch.

No, those force the reveal if you don't have the relevant card, so they're fine. Throne Room and Explorer could just as well say '..or reveal a hand with no [Actions/Provinces]'.

As it happens, Donald X has said that Throne Room's lack of "You may", in contrast to King's Court, was an error, but that (unsurprisingly) the official rules still require following the card's exact instructions.

In general, it makes sense for cards like these to have the card choosing/revealing be optional, but effects that would hurt you to not be.

It would be interesting for isotropic to try the Throne Room version as it should be. Just temporarily, or based on a player choice. Just so people could try and see how it works.

.

Example: a deck with 5 Gold in 20 cards is basically the same as 10 golds in 40 cards. Same with action cards. Try to get more focused decks, which can get to 8$ in Province games.


I agree, but was wondering how this would be affected by the Green Rush. Adding 5+ green cards into the 20-card Deck has a much higher percentage of green than the 40-card deck.

Silver Bullet

$4

Attack-Duration

Trash a silver.  If you do, all opponents discards down to 3 and on your next turn +2 Cards.

Like it, but maybe it should be +$2 as well, to replace the silver's value from your hand?

I'd like to see a card that makes buying Bureaucrat worth it.


Maybe a Silver Smith, making Silver worth $3?
Or a version of a Money Lender that trashes a Silver for $6?

Game Reports / Re: A Cautionary Tale: Skipping the Witch

Whenever you're thinking about skipping over a cursing attack, think twice... and then think a third time.


Unrelated to the curses, but reading your game log prompted this question:

As a colony game, both you and your opponent purchased provinces quite early. Is this accepted strategy? It seems a bit counter-intuitive to me.

Rules Questions / Re: Black Market Deck
« on: June 13, 2011, 07:00:36 am »
You can choose any way you like to select Black Market deck cards, the rules are not specific about that.

For example, I sometimes use a copy of all cards that are not in the supply (more or less 75 cards), or randomly select 15 cards.

Just curious, as in my household, we have Black Market, and have Prosperity and Cornucopia set to be delivered this week, how it works with that many cards in the BM deck?

Have you noticed a difference in game play with a larger or smaller deck?
