Examples of when weak cards are good.

I've had pretty good success with Chancellor combined with Tournament (I could post my last game log but don't know how to access it).  It gives me great satisfaction to make cards like Chancellor work.  I still haven't had much success with Bureaucrat (at least not memorably so) though I suppose with King's Court & Feodum but I don't own either of those decks.

For anyone else, such a statement would be a scum tell.  For Hydrad, it's simply a tell that you're reading something from Hydrad.

Bureaucrat is fantastic with Gardens.

Ah, that makes sense, both in gaining cards & putting your opponent's gardens on top.

One of my favorites is Coppersmith.

...but then again I don't really think it's all that much of a weak card.

Here is an example of when weak cards are good.  Also when strong cards are bad.

That reminds me of this game where I saw he was going for gardens, so I figured it was best not to use Mountebank. except that I ended up losing anyway.

Awesome, especially turn 18.  Brilliant use of the Inns here.

BTW that game is from the finals of the most recent GokoDom tournament.  There is video of it with commentary from at least one player (maybe both) somewhere on the internet, but I couldn't find it when I made that post.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way
