It's mind-boggling to me that some people actually rated Seize the Day lower than 8, let alone 3! I can't even imagine a game where you don't buy this so that's a solid 10/10 for me, and I thought basically everyone would agree on that.i think that it can only be used one leaves it underwhelming. It's like getting an outpost turn with an enchantress in play, once per game.
all other events greatly effect strategies in play on every turn.
If we're being like that about it:
Black Lotus
Action - Duration
At the start of each of your turns for the rest of the game: +$3.
(This stays in play.)
I didn't see this one, it was in between two picture bombs.
Maybe Black Lotus and two other Shelters could be a combo. Like, reveal all three from your hand to win the game. But I don't know my MTG that well.
WORST: Bag of Gold.
Hold on. If it costs an action to take a piece of gold out of the bag, doesn't that imply that Gold is never, otherwise, stored in bags -- or in containers of any kind? That everyone in the world of Dominion is wandering around with all of their gold held in their hands at all times? Absolutely absurd.
Professor Oak - Action - $5
Discard your hand.
+7 Cards
Bonus Preview 11: Desperation
It's the Event version of Cursed Gold. You can have more money, if you want it badly enough.
Is the person on the art missing a hand?
When will we get the 7* card symbol here: http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Category:Card_symbols?
I thought LostPhoenix was trying to solve the potion problem, but I guess he/she was just suggesting another notation.
To have a symbol instead, you need to make them all work the same way (no Stonemason) and ideally with no parameter (always $1 per effect). It does save about two lines. It would be like:
Masterpiece: Treasure, $3
$1
----------
[symbol]: Gain a Silver.
Hmm, what about:
Masterpiece/Doctor/Herald: For each [symbol]: Do the thing
Stonemason: Gain 2 Action cards each costing $1 per [symbol]
Although now you can't get potion-cost cards with Stonemason.
So there's a Shaman card that says "transform a minion in to a random minion that costs 3 more" and my opponent puts a 10-cost minion on the board, and I'm thinking "There are no 13 cost minions, so this spell should destroy the 10 cost minion." nope. It turned it into a 12 cost minion. I wish Hearthstone cards were as clear and straightforward about what they do as Dominion cards.
My most stubborn pet peeve is that Divine Favor says "Draw cards until you have as many cards in hand as your opponent," but they programmed "Draw a number of cards equal to the difference between the number of cards in your opponent's hand less the number of cards in your hand,", so if there is one card left in your deck, and your opponent has two cards in hand, and you play it as you last card, you don't full suicide like you should.
I have plenty of other pet peeves though, like how whenever I use Slam to damage my Gurubashi Beserker on turn six, I don't gain any attack, although the Gurubashi Beserker does, but when I play a Novice Engineer on turn seven, I draw a card, even though by that point it seems like perhaps Novice Engineer should draw herself a card to play with.
Am I doing this right?
Depends on whether "this" is "playing" or "winning".

Even just giving a random golden epic at the end of every wing on top of what we already get would have likely been enough to get me to buy them.To be honest, I don't understand this mentality. Golden cards in general are useless bling, and a random golden epic is unplayable useless bling. You'll pay for that and not for hours of high-quality PvE content? I mean, Hearthstone PvE is better than many standalone singleplayer games.
If they think I will pay a premium to get access to extra single player content, they are mistaken.
after a few turns of fatigue, he gets a new deck. wth?The plague lords get a new deck whenever they change phase.
So, 4th wing is out, plus the final boss. The 4th plague lord was the easiest by far, for me. I brought a Hearthstone with me and didn't need to use it, and my deck wasn't that great (though it did have quite a bit of value).
The final boss is somewhat similar to the Monster Hunt final boss, which I enjoyed a lot, but it feels meh here. I think that's because the hero powers aren't very interesting. Monster Hunt had some very complex hero powers.
Overall, the adventure was alright but the format feels stale. The biggest change, the 300-HP plague lords, I don't like much. If the next adventure is like this one then I might not buy it.
I actually didn't buy this adventure nor the last one. If they want to me to buy the adventure, they have to make it so that I get more stuff for my collection by buying it than by just using those resources on packs. Even just giving a random golden epic at the end of every wing on top of what we already get would have likely been enough to get me to buy them.
If they think I will pay a premium to get access to extra single player content, they are mistaken.
Don't try to Ritual a Peddler in an engine.
I managed to beat the first Plague Lord in the Uldum single player content on my first run. Khadgar/Jan'alai and a bunch of crazy treasures helped a lot.I found (on both normal and heroic) that on my first time reaching the plague lord, the board flood in phase 3 was just too much to keep up with. I'd run out of ways to clear the board, run out of cards in my deck, and meanwhile he seems to have unlimited ability to spam the board. His options to clear are also crazy strong (hero power of course, which he doesn't even need much because of Plague of Murlocs).
I can't say I like this style of boss design much. It's mostly his ability to clear and transform my board that I find annoying. It makes what I do for board development almost irrelevant.
Is there a legitimate reason for elementary school to teach division using the obelus symbol (÷) rather than the fractional notation? Or even the forward slash (/) if you must type expressions on a single line?Children like pictures. An obelus is a picture of a fraction, you imagine the top dot being replaced with a numerator number, and the bottom dot being replaced with a denominator number. The "/" is a metaphor for that as well, of course, but it's not quite as clear, it has that twist of perspective to it. It's particularly tricky to imagine the left number is somehow above the right number when you're roughly 8.
I see some of those math puzzles on Facebook, and it bugs me because there's an obelus, and nobody who maths for a living uses the obelus.
And many of those Facebook arguments could be quelled with a properly notated fraction, but then that doesn't generate traffic.
It is very useful for expressing the idea that division can be treated both like a function/operand where the operator and the divisor mutate the the first term to become a different, lesser tem, but it can also be treated like a representation, where the numerator and denominator are peacefully existing on the appropriate sides of the dividing bar, each playing their role in representing some value, and both values are part of how that value is represented. And use of the obelus emphasizes that these are both actually the same thing. This smooths to transition to algebra.
I don't think I realized that ÷ is like a fraction until high school. I always had treated it as an entirely separate symbol, like +, -, or ×.
