Like this post if Baker is your waifu.

The correct spelling is "you're waifu".

No one would ever admit it either way.

It appears that firefox cannot display the webp file format. I had to open this in chrome to see it.

Probably my favorite, even if it is a stupidly megaturn-oriented card...

You got Beggar from your opponent's Swindler, Poor House is the best engine payload on the board and the engine is stronger than Beggar+Gardens.

Seriously? That sounds an awful lot like "Scout/Chancellor is a great combo - if all other cards on the board are Embargoed five times and you got them both from Swindler."

I mean, come on. Swindled cards that aren't even used as part of a "combo"?

If you're late in the shuffle and you draw Chancellor before Scout, then you play Chancellor...

It's a lot better to get an Estate Swindled into a Beggar and then just build a regular engine than to also get your Worker's Villages Swindled into Gardens if you're going for the engine.

It's a Poor House engine where Beggar is the only draw.

That's like saying that sometimes Curse/Gardens was better than Gardens/Worker's Village, because if Swindler had hit my Gardens and replaced it with a Worker's Village i would have less points.

Technically true, but i feel you are interpreting the question too much as "Can you make up a case where i would want to gain a Beggar instead of a Gardens if i allready bought Poor House?" instead of "Are there boards where Beggar/Poor House is a superior strategy to Beggar/Gardens?"

wait nothing is better than beggar garden!

Gardens are weak because Bishop is available alongside Vineyards and a great engine (maybe Scrying Pool).  Beggar/Poor House can serve as two of the cheap action cards you drain to pump your Vineyards and end the game on piles.

Or Beggar is weak because you used all your Coppers to make proxy cards.
