Inheritance
We start out with what is probably one of the strongest Scout combos. If you use Inheritance to transform your Estates into useful actions, then Scout actually picks up the good stuff. For maximum effect you want the inherited card to be nonterminal, so that you can really load up on them.
The problem with the combo is that you need to spike $7, and picking up a Scout will certainly not help you do that. So don't pick up Scout before you inherit. But after the Inheritance, inherited Estates themselves compete with Scout for the buy. You should always carefully evaluate whether another Estate is not better for your deck than the Scout.

Answer is obvious: Inherit your Scouts.


Note1: You put estate in your scout because nobody would ruin a perfectly good estate by adding scout to it.
Note2: Enjoy the joys of auto-moderation!  ;)

Tangential, I know, but I think there have been so many good ones of these.  This is one of my favorites:

I thought about it and decided it was implied. Probably works better in german, where the word for gain can also mean "accept" (like "take" would).

Also, this is everybody's chance to post that Holy Grail scene. Sure to get a +1 or two. Be quick!

At 1900 UTC today (about 5 hours from this post), the other semifinal match will take place between MQ and SCSN. It will be streamed from both of their perspectives.

I found this anomaly in a comic today, and it immediately reminded me of Council Room. It seems that council rooms are the precursors to board rooms, and the depiction on Council Room is accurate, as all council and board rooms are dadaist shrines.



The shadow person is facing the direction of the red arrow in panel 2, so he is either moonwalking through the room (and somehow doesn't crash into the gay black guy who is switching spots) or all sense of perspective, direction, location and shadows don't exist in art about board rooms. Maybe this is a moral to artists to spend more times in council or board meetings and not so much time with that creativity stuff.

Wow in that first panel the bottom part of the table makes it look like one of those Japanese sit-on-your-knees dining tables.

Maybe this is a moral to artists to spend more times in council or board meetings and not so much time with that creativity stuff.

The main anomaly is that their seating arrangement is all screwed up in the last panel.  The perspective is probably meant to be from the far end of the table (top left in panel 1), so the last panel should have the two men on the right and the three others on the left.  The black man is in the foreground, which is correct, but the order is incorrect for the three on the other side of the table (the woman should be background and the grey-haired man should be foreground).

The perspective in the second panel is also strange, as if the new guy seems to be approaching from an altogether different direction.

It is definitely below Davis' knee level but high at the woman's corner. Maybe it only has 3 legs.

As to the far end of the table theory - both sides of the table now have to switch. All the people on the left should be on the right.

The shadow work in panel 1 is killing me, as is the reflectivity in panel 2. Googling reflective blue table doesn't turn up anything so I really can't parse it into reality. I guess nobody fed the blue table yet but they tried walking it so it lost its leg.

Yes.  That's the first thing I said. :P  No matter how you look at it, the seating in the bottom panel is wrong.

Seeing weirdness like this in a story is often a clue that the events are taking place in a dream world or some other substitute for reality as we know it.
