Dominion General Discussion / Some ideas for the Strategy Blog
« on: October 07, 2017, 09:31:07 am »
I'm glad that the strategy blog is back, some ideas for things that are littered through the forums that have helped me and I think would be a good fit for the blog:
-Annotated games
I've been recently playing through some of the old annotated games and some that have been posted on the forums by myself against a bot or some random person. The notes and ideas presented help me get an understanding of various strategies and power levels between cards.
-An article on the strengths and importance of attacks or the viability of weak engines vs BM decks
meandering mercury made a great post in this thread: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=17655.25 about how long certain decks make the game, and it literally changed how I thought about Dominion and helped me think about timing. A longer article that details certain boards, and how different types of decks run at different speeds, would be fantastic.
-Kingdom of the Week Challenges
Release a Kingdom of the week like the dominion subreddit, usually tailored around unique challenges, strategies, and/or learning ideas and then post analysis of the kingdom within the next few days. (Example: Post a Kingdom on Tuesday, post an analysis on Thursday). Similar to the first suggestion, this'll help work through strategies, but instead of where the annotated games were more exposition, this is closer to exercises.
