Okay, I do have standards.
Bandit camp has a 54.79% - 36.88% BMUWhat's wrong with Bandit Camp Big Money? Surely Bandit Camp is better than Silver, each time you draw it represents 3$ instead of 2, albeit after a delay. If you're not using dead draw and instead are using one or two powerful nondrawing terminals then Bandit Camp should be in your big money deck.
Bandit Camp is fine in big money, but the delay is actually very important. If it takes you three turns to cycle through your deck, you get to use a Silver you buy now three turns later, whereas it takes you six or seven turns to use a Spoils from a Bandit Camp you buy now.
Actually you should put it in the center of the screen and make it really large. It is hard to see everything on it at this size.Your scoreboard that you placed in the bottom left corner blocks how many cards are left in your deck and blocks part of the vp counter as well. You could probably re-position it higher up and narrower ("DB" vs. "R") to avoid blocking these.
The right side of the log/chat is also getting cut off. We want to see your splendid wit!
Thanks JW, I'll be sure to make the window formatting even more obtrusive for next time
Most people cover the top of the log with things, but that is the opposite of what you appear to be going for. My recommendation is to place this on top of the province pile.
BooThe engine doesnt appear to be better. With a 5/2 you want to get thin asap. You want to get like 2 fv and a sea hag. If your economy is low(it probably is because you should thin aggressively) you should get a mine. You then try to win the curse split through a combination of playing hag as many times as possible and mining iggs and silvers into more iggs.(Disclaimer, this is a great article and I'm not blaming it in any way for my loss, but I'm just wondering what I did wrong here.)
Game #7225818
On this board I decided that there wasn't +buy and not much draw either besides lining up Heralds, so I decided to go double Count, ignoring lurker since I figured that the "engine" would take too long to set up, especially when I opened Count. Where did I go wrong? Was the engine better? Should I have not ignored Sea Hag? Thanks in advance.
You win by ending the game with more points than your opponent.You can also win by pinning your opponent or getting 50% vp.
While Spice Merchant has to decide betweenDrawing is much better than sifting.siftingand non-terminality or a consistent $2,
It's a solid light trasher in Big Money games. It doesn't take up terminal space, so Smithy/Loan is usually better than Smithy/Silver. In engines, Loan is probably too slow and too limited.According to the geronimoo's simulator
Loan as a trasher is better than Forager, although Forager can be used as a payload.
Key word: reallyI feel all players below level 70 don't really understand this game.ftfy
Soooo no one understands this game? I was under the impression iso levels capped out around 65.

I think he means to seaway earlier and then buy Villa in that turn in question and play it.The distinction is dingan never said he played a card. Villa's extra buy triggers on the playing of it and not buying.
You can watch the engine deck live right nowI would like to play example 3 with you...
Yeah. I calculate a 100% chance Council Room Big Money is NOT the optimal strategy, and that Lurker and Vineyards will both at some point have a part to play in the winning deck.
An engine seems hardly feasible here with Nobles as the only village. I think I'd go for a Nobles/Bishop/Lurker golden deck here, which gives 4 VP per turn indefinitely.
Looks like you have some re-writing to do.I would like to play example 3 with you...I would like to play example 3 with you...
