Inspired by Witherweaver, I am creating a favorite reaction bracket! I specify Action-Reaction to get rid of Tunnel, Fool's Gold, and Hovel to have exactly 8. If people like those, I could get rid of different ones or have a play-in round. Here's a slightly biased bracket which I didn't spend too long thinking about. You can vote by posting the seed numbers you want to vote for. My vote: 1246

1. Watchtower
8. Secret Chamber 1. Watchtower

6. Caravan Guard 3. Trader
3. Trader 1. Watchtower

5. Moat 4. Horse Traders
4. Horse Traders 4. Horse Traders

7. Beggar 2. Market Square
2. Market Square

1. Watchtower
8. Secret Chamber

6. Caravan Guard
3. Trader

5. Moat
4. Horse Traders

7. Beggar
2. Market Square

I think top and bottom are clear. Caravan Guard I've only played with once.. it was kind of lackluster then. Trader is often lackluster. I dunno.. edge to Caravan Guard for being new and interesting. Horse Traders is good defense to many attacks and often a good source of +buy, so why not. Moat is mostly kind of meh.

I guess the only upset is Caravan Guard over Trader. Poor Secret Chamber never stood a chance.

I'd go with 1347.
Caravan Guard is interesting and new but not particularly fun. I mostly like it because orange and blue look nice together. Trader is interesting and sometimes good and brought about the phrase "Blue Dog Rule" so how could I not like it?
I like Beggar because it's niche; when it's good it's really cool. That was a hard one though.
Horse Traders is just so interesting; I don't get people who say it's boring.

I really wanted to vote for beggar as I like most cards that have a chance to make copper good, but I find the reaction to be pretty boring. Ultimately, I decided market square is a more fun package overall.

1647.

Watchtower is obvious. I kinda like Caravan Guard, but I haven't determined if it's any good yet. Horse Trader is super fun against discard attacks, I especially love the interaction with my second most hated card, Minion. Also pretty cool against Ghost Ship.

The last one was the most difficult for me, but I just find MS boring. Also I have an affinity for Beggar ever since I first bought it in a multiplayer game as a defense against Pirate Ship. I think that was my first pro move...

1. Watchtower
8. Secret Chamber

6. Caravan Guard
3. Trader

5. Moat
4. Horse Traders

7. Beggar
2. Market Square

I haven't had a chance to play with either Beggar or Market Square, so they're left neutral.
However, I really enjoy Trader. It's so fun to have an extra buy sitting around and be like "Oh, I guess I'll buy a Copper...waaaiiittt: It's a SILVER! HAHA!"

1347, giving Beggar a close upset.

Hermit/Market Square > Beggar/Gardens

Watchtower is obviously the best reaction.

Trader leads to amusing money pile games.

Horse traders is a boring card, moat can actually save you.

Beggar combos are super satisfying when they are possible to make happen.

1. watchtower, 6. caravan guard, 4. horse traders, 2. market square

1347

1. Watchtower
8. Secret Chamber

6. Caravan Guard
3. Trader

5. Moat
4. Horse Traders

7. Beggar
2. Market Square

It's close between Trader and Caravan Guard, though.

1432. I'd rank Caravan Guard ahead of Moat, though that may just be from playing in Adventures heavy games where you want something to throw that token onto.

I love Market Square, and Beggar was only once helpful to me as a reaction (it is an excellent Saboteur counter). Caravan Guard isn't very exciting compared to Trader. Horse Traders is cooler than Moat. Watchtower is the best Reaction.

I wish Tunnel was here over Beggar - who uses Beggar for the Silvers?

Moat must have had a really good season to be seeded 5th.

Poor secret chamber, it never had a chance.
