Chancellor/counting house
All of your coppers go into your discard pile

What is this "Chancellor" of which you speak?

Oh, you meant Messenger/Counting House! And it even comes with +buy to take advantage of all that extra coin, and it comes with a free Copper for you and your opponent! And early you can even use the +buy to buy extra Coppers to make Counting House even better!

Ouch, I think I just sprained the sarcasm lobe of my brain.


I was thinking that this combo needs an extra buy but I couldn't think of any put your deck into your discard pile with + buy. But now I realized that I was being stupid and totally forgot about messenger. Yeah, messenger/counting house would be a really fun combo to try.

Um...geez...I hate to be the first, but...are you doing this on purpose? I mean, "Chase Aldolphson" is a pretty good troll name, but honestly, the shenanigans are getting a little thin. If you're really, truly as clueless as your messages imply then you need to do quite a bit more reading and studying before you post. If not, well, your particular brand of trolling is considerably less entertaining that roadrunner's Scout fetish. Which is a low bar.

At first, I just thought "newb" but now it's really starting to look more and more like a shtick. Then again, I'm a little slow and can take a while to catch on. I even tried Golem/Counting House once. Once.

That actually sounds pretty fun. I'll have to try that.

According to Chases profile he is 13, which seems.. plausible.

Take a look at the timestamps.

Strange, I thought I was replying to a brand new post; because somehow I hadn't seen it before just now.

Exorcist / Quarry

Trash Estate, gain Imp

Sorry to derail your fun, but I have a question about the above. I must be having a brain freeze.

Quarry reduces the cost of Action cards by 2. How does trashing an Estate here get an Imp?

While Quarry is in play, Estate costs and Imp costs . Exorcist lets you gain a cheaper Spirit, and Quarry makes Imp cheaper than Estate.

Whatever ChaseAnderson is, it's not like he's insulting people or being exceptionally rude (or is he?). If we can stomach Mine/Mint and Moat jokes, we can stomach a youngster who I'm actually pretty certain just wants to participate.

I recently got Seaside. One of the recommended kingdoms is the following:
 



I've played it twice; in the early game I would get Ghost Ship, Sea Hag, Warehouse and a Native Village or two. The sifting of Warehouse, the knowledge that I have a Curse on top thanks to Sea Hag, and a bit of luck means my NVs would set aside more or less only junk while I was busy attacking my opponent and buying the odd Silver.

Around the time the curses were out, I'd pick up Salvager, Treasury and Gold in some mix, trashing Sea Hag and using Salvager to turn my deck into Provinces.

The neat part is trashing NV with Salvager.

I figure that "If you trash your NVs, you have effectively trashed the cards on your mat" is not a novel idea.

The fact that you want to transition from a deck with a village or two to a deck with a bunch of money and a few Salvagers, right around the time where NV becomes less attractive to play (in either mode), is what makes the Salvager/NV interaction neat, and that feature is quite kingdom-specific.

I find it particularly neat that NV will happily "trash" cards that Salvager is sad to trash and vice versa—and NV will succeed at it with good probability. Also, Salvager is terminal which is fine in the end-game while NV is anti-terminal which is great in the early game.

The complementarity is strong with these ones.

(I think I opened 5/2 in both my games, which makes getting Ghost Ship rather easy; it probably plays out differently if I open Silver/Sea Hag.)

Doctor / Changeling

I guess you can do the overpay for Doctor, and then exchange the Doctor for a Changeling. So assuming you want Changelings, you can Doctor overpay a bunch.

Well, it's cheaper. Plus if you trash the Silver you keep the VP. (I admit this is a fairly... non-strict use of "strictly better".)
