I think wachsmuth has a point. Like Procession, there are some easy Transmogrify calls (get village if you have a hand of 3 Smithies and 2Coppers), but also very, very hard ones. Having 5 of them on your mat means there will be a point where you have can call five of them and play for a pileout, but you're screwed if it doesn't work out.

Probably my favourite new card.

Further expanding upon my terminal collision idea, this might allow you to overbuild with terminals. Let's say you want key terminal $5's. With Transmogrify, you can keep buying that key $5 and when they collide, you can switch them out for a $5 village, assuming one is on the board. So, that's a thought to keep in mind.

If it were the only application of Transmogrify, Coin of the Realm would do it as well but cheaper. The point is that in many kingdoms it's just one application. Today I had two Transmogrifies on Tavern and two Silvers in hand, which I could swap for two Treasure Maps.

I know, it was just a pathetic attempt at humor. Please don't take me seriously.

Yes, I often like to buy Transmogrify early, stack them up and mill the provinces once I've got enough of a lead to guarantee a win.

That doesn't work against a competent opponent.

So if you buy it you're... in-salting the player?  8)

The competent opponent will catch up in points before you can end the game, and then you have a bunch of cards doing nothing on your Tavern mat for no reason while your opponent is spending their resources efficiently.

depending on buys, and or if you can time it right a quick province churn can sometimes really help you out

Yes, sometimes milling Provinces is good, but the fact is that you have stuff doing nothing on your tavern mat while the opponent is spending their resources efficiently. That puts you at an inherent disadvantage, and a competent opponent will take advantage of that and win the game.

I did once have a variant on this work really well, though: turn your deck into Duplicates and Transmogrifies then three-pile by turning everything into Duchies while your opponent is still gearing up to buy Colonies.
