Stopped watching when he said treasury was a promo card, but probably could have as soon as he said he gets explorer as soon as he can. Okay, I get that it's just about cards that are fun to play, but it was just sort of painful to listen to.

Top ten off the top of my head:

1. Watchtower
2. Rats
3. Black Market
4. Scrying pool
5. Monument
6. Hermit
7. Wandering minstrel
8. Doctor
9. Altar
10. Forager

Hmm, this would make an... interesting kingdom. Also woah so much trashing.

Okay, so he likes treasures & money strategies.. And black market #1 is super-controversial!!

They can't all be the best card list ever.

Stopped watching when he said treasury was a promo card, but probably could have as soon as he said he gets explorer as soon as he can.

This was exactly my experience. Anyways, a list:

11. Shanty Town
10. Haven
9. Cache
8. Wishing Well
7. Fortress
6. Hermit
5. Oracle
4. Tactician
3. Menagerie
2. Native Village
1. Young Witch

Young Witch is cool because it is the coolest card and it has the best art.

1. Fishing Village
2. Forager
3. Conspirator
4. Butcher
5. Highway
6. Ironmonger
7. Cartographer
8. Junk Dealer
9. Laboratory
10. Poor House

I guess it's tending towards cards I like to pick up in large quantities, so there's a lot of preference for non-terminals? It's always so painful to see a bunch of cool terminals on a board without a village.

I think my favorite card now is one you'll have to wait a couple months to see.  Of ones that have been released:

(no particular order)

Border Village - I get a free thing!  Yay engines!
Journeyman - FUCK YOU, ESTATES
Forager - Non-terminal coin-giving trasher. 
Pirate Ship - ARRRRR AVAST, MATIES!  PREPARE TO BE BOARDED!  (yeah, I know it's weak, but so fun!)
Goons - so many points how can I hold all these points
Death Cart - let's eat some Rats!
Fool's Gold - GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL
Candlestick Maker - Solid card.

Tribute as an honourable mention at the start already hurt.  I didn't mind the Treasury thing that much; I expect normal people have trouble remembering which expansion every card came from, and he may have just forgotten about the expansion symbol in the bottom right.  No big deal.  Explorer is OK.  I think it's fun too. :P

Off the top of my head, my favourite cards are:


10. Caravan
9. Shanty Town
8. Trading Post
7. Menagerie
6. Conspirator
5. Chapel
4. Monument
3. Margrave
2. Highway
1. Bishop

I enjoy activating Shanty Town, Menagerie and Conspirator.  Margrave is fun because it does so much.  I'm not sure why I like Trading Post so much.  Monument and Bishop are just fun for VP, and you can start getting +VP right away, unlike Goons.

This is a pretty interesting kingdom, I think.  One neat thing is that you could actually do a golden deck even with a discard attack on the board.  It would be a 6 card golden deck with Menagerie.  Margrave ensures you can put Menagerie in your reduced hand, which can draw back the rest.  If Margrave isn't played, Menagerie can still grab the sixth card.  Would that be competitive against an engine with Margrave and Highway?

I hope adding an eleventh $3 card to your list because of young witch was intentional.

Man, it is tough to choose. At the moment my list is maybe:

10. Transmute
9. Butcher
8. Floodgate
7. **Censored**
6. Graverobber
5. **Censored**
4. Rats
3. **Censored**
2. Prince
1. **Censored**

Stopped watching when he said treasury was a promo card, but probably could have as soon as he said he gets explorer as soon as he can. Okay, I get that it's just about cards that are fun to play, but it was just sort of painful to listen to.

The Treasury/promo thing was really his only gaffe. Treasury, Stash; I can see where he'd forget.

I love Explorer and get one whenever I think it's even sort of doable.

Right, Floodgate is one of my cards. I've had a lot of fun with it in recent games.

Yep, it was.

I am kind of disappointed to see that my favorite cards kingdom would be pretty boring. No +buy except tactician, and doubletac would never work so it's not really +buy. And then there is poor fortress without any trashing. I am tempted to swap fortress for walled village; it seems out of place.

I made a video list a while back.

Still mostly relevant, but my current list would be:

1. Black Market
2. Watchtower
3. Massage Therapist
4. Apothecary
5. Menagerie
6. Horn of Plenty
7. Courtyard
8. Chapel
9. Herald
10. Vineyard
11. T-Rex
12. Throne Room
13. Epic Poem
14. Jester
15. Tactician
16. High School
17. Lighthouse
18. Tunnel
19. Remake
20. Advisor

Just watched his list.  I don't agree with his choices but whatever, those are the cards he enjoys and he has good enough reasons, I'm not gonna knock him for it. And I agree with his #1.

Wow.  You said you liked Massage Therapist this weekend - had no idea you liked it *that* much.  And if T-Rex is what I think it is, that's also one of my favorite cards.

8. Apothecary
9. Menagerie
10. Ironmonger

Clearly the card is Schrödinger's Cat.

Don't judge me too harshly.

10: Embassy
9: Menagerie
8: Wandering Minstrel
7: Explorer
6: Conspirator
5: Throne Room
4: Ironmonger
3: Horn of Plenty
2: Counterfeit
1: Apothecary

Yep.  I like explorer more than Tom Vasel.  I probably overrate it, but I feel like it has saved me on more than one occasion.  If I were playing this set, probably do some kind of apothecary/conspirator engine.  Though, it's really lacking +buy...
