How came the idea of a mystic meme into your mine mint mind ?

Silvers are bad ?

Trash a silver with trader ; trashes 3 incoming silvers with watchtower

Trash 2 silvers with Trading post (I already did it in order to get rid of one silver while playing only Base+Intrigue)

Chocolate is like victory points in Dominion. Both taste good but they'll hurt you if you eat too much of it instead of something else in your early days.

I don't always buy Scout, but when I do, it's because Lookout is the only trasher on the board.

I... don't really get that one. I guess if you trigger an unwanted reshuffle, drawing a card might be bad, and it would allow for multiple Pillages... there's still plenty of cases where silver hurts more than an extra card.

Governor is probably OK, Council Room is not.  This isn't Insanity Wolf, it's Hyper-Engine-Focused SCSN.

I meant it as SCSN's awesome deck tracking, realising that the opponent has a very good hand, so triggers a reshuffle for him.

Unless it is a Tournament board, that seems like a terrible play.

You know, top decking the Province is optional.  At worst this is a 1st World Problems meme.

It's a waste of a 5-card no matter how you look at it.  Even if you wanted to buy a Province this turn, this wouldn't have been a particularly good way for it to happen.

If Royal Seal is in your deck by choice, clearly you've got $5 buys to waste

+1 for the pun on the Militia.

I personally think Royal seal itself is a waste, because you could have another card instead. Royal seal just seems to bring nothing to the game (at least, I played a 2P-game IRL and I topdecked a Contraband with it just to troll my opponent in end game (and because I had $5 and could switch from Province to Colony too) and I won anyway)

Royal Seal isn't that strong, but topdecking is underrated. Royal Seal topdecking Platinum is very nice, the problem is that you have to waste a $5 buy on Royal Seal.

Yeah, I don't think it's that bad of a card. It isn't amazing, and you never need that many of them, but if you hit the 5 mark and end up buying a Gold with it later, it was like buying a Gold and having an extra Silver in your deck at the very least. And that's if you use the ability only once on your next shuffle.

Hey, I'm not a huge fan of royal seal either, but in a game, my opponent was swindling my golds into altars (which would be nice, if I hadn't thinned my deck), so i decided to make my whole economy royal seals, so he could swindle them into more royal seals (he doesn't like giving me duchies, go figure). Thoughts?

If you opponent would rather give you another copy of a card when he swindles it instead of a duchy then I don't think that speaks too highly of its power.

It's usually not that great to have a ton of them. One or two is probably enough. You can't "double topdeck" a card. But maybe you should just trash for Duchies and take the seals as they come? idk, it's strongest early, and in small quantity.

I know, but I didn't  want any $6 (gold) alternative, nor did I want any $3 (silver) alternative, so I settled for royal seals (I lost, but it was close).
