Let me try and be more helpful than Awaclus while still getting less upvotes.

Jeez, I didn't think I'd fail on both accounts. Seriously, why aren't these posts getting more upvotes?

Because they're wrong.

This has turned into a roast session for Scout, which I don't mind, but it's time for more updates in the OP. Sadly, I actually have work (for once) so that'll have to wait.

Not really.  AdamH is being personally humble and/or overly cynical of f.ds there; he got more upvotes because be was more helpful.  Note that the post in which he was helpful was further explaining why Scout is no good.

I have been googling for something like this, but couldn't find it. Thanks!

Shameless plug: Install the F.DS Chrome extension and use the fancy "Kingdom" button to insert your images in a good size.

Scouty served me well in this game.

Eh. It is okay-ish, but I'm not convinced you should get it as early as you did. Your opponent ignores Vineyards here, so you would have pretty much won no matter what. But by the end of the game, you don't have a single terminal in your deck (well, you have 3 Crossroads, but that's at most 2 terminals). Either one of Monument/Horse Traders/Smithy would have been a better buy than Scout. You only get Scout in this game once you have some Vineyards, and by then the game it mostly over.

EDITS: Added Inheritance combo, added Golden Decks sections as well as the Golden Deck: Inherited Schemes.

I know this came up in the Ypsilanti tournament where some people were playing it incorrectly -- if you Inherit Scouts but have a Teacher-token on the Scout pile (you aren't allowed to put them on the Estate pile) then you only get the token bonus when playing actual Scouts, not Estate-Scouts. Those tokens help you when you play a card *from that pile*, which Estates aren't from the same pile.

Inheritance and Scout have a wonderful synergy, yes, but Inheriting Scouts themselves is pretty much never a good idea. You would rather Inherit something else that's actually good and buy #TheRealDeal Scouts to draw the Estates.

I....I....played a game....where Scout......was good.

Code: [Select]

Alms, Expedition, Fool's Gold, Native Village, University, Quarry, Scout, Talisman, Explorer, Adventurer, Farmland, Nobles

Just think, if there was +Buy in the kingdom Scout/NV/Nobles could actually have been the right thing to do.

+buy or no, this should be Fool's Gold/BM.

But I guess if your opponent's first turn is:

Plays 3 Coppers
Buy Alms

then it's possible to win with a Scout strategy.

Scout didn't choose the Thug Life. The Thug Life chose him. He's such a player, picking up those Harem.

Really wanted to share the log but the dang game log site has been down for like a week now, but...
I totally Expanded a Potion into a Scout (and it was a good idea, at least I think it was).  If I recall correctly, Apothecary was involved.

EDIT:
Site works again!

Necro time. I got a Chromebook recently. I did everything in the OP on mobile and that was hard but now that I have more power I'll definitely revive this.
