just had a game with the settlers/bustling village stack and lots of discard.
These cards have always felt so lackluster to me, especially late game when you draw your deck. But if you have cards that discard (druid with wind's gift in this case), and your opponents are making you discard (legionary), you can majorly mitigate the discard by discarding coppers or settlers as appropriate. Even LATE into the game, when I had no coppers remaining, and I was fully drawing my deck every turn, I got value out of the combo.
It's kinda sad that it doesn't work with cost reduction (other that Bridge Troll and Ferry).
* Minion: secret passage, and cards that give +action and benefit while decreasing hand size (eg: courtier, pawn, nobles, shanty town, ironworks, mill, upgrade)
Actually I think there’s something to this, believe it or not, as long as you can deal with the Silver in some way.
The Night phase happens after the Buy phase, and depending on the setup, you can assemble a nighttime engine that draws your deck, gains cards, attacks opponents, trashes junk, and sets you up for a strong next turn.Building a nighttime engine is not feasible. I tried to do this on the only possible straight Night board, with 10/13 Night cards in the game. I excluded Devil's Workshop and Exorcist because they can gain Action cards outside of the supply, and Werewolf because it's also an Action card itself. So the kingdom is: Guardian, Monastery, Changeling, Ghost Town, Night Watchman, Cobbler, Crypt, Den of Sin, Vampire, Raider.
There main problem is that there's no +Buy in the nighttime (obviously), so you're stuck with single-Province engines. You do have gainers in Cobbler and Vampire but it's not enough. The draw is a bit on the weak side as well, with only the +2 cards of Den of Sin, and you pretty much need Gold and Silver for payload. In the end I lost 39-24 to Lord Rattington, pretty much disproving the feasibility of a nighttime engine.
A nice thing to look out for are Throne Room variants - while you can't normally play multiple Leprechauns in a turn for multiple Wishes, Throne Room can! Though not Royal Carriage. And maybe stay away from Prince. And Golem and Ghost.

Love the theme, but gardens and farmland should probably be reversed.
The part below the line isn't the "instructions" referred to by Enchantress. There's no more in-depth answer.
The first time it's played, you get +1 Card +1 Action and nothing else (there's no dividing line).
The first time it's played, you get +1 Card +1 Action and nothing else (there's no dividing line). The second time, you get the attack and set yourself up for +2 Cards next turn. So B. And Ghost still stays out until Enchantress is discarded from play.
The thing I don't like about Fool is that it's so weak nobody ever buys it.
