Favorite Alt-VP Bracket
« on: April 07, 2016, 02:43:46 pm »

Following liopoil's example, I've created a bracket for alt-VP cards! This includes all types of alternative strategies to Province/Colony. Scaling cards, fixed cards, and VP chip cards are all present here. An argument can be made that these types of cards shouldn't be compared to one another, but this was the way to make it 8, 16 or even 12 without making arbitrary decisions, like including Nobles and not Harem.

1. Goons
16. Great Hall

3. Bishop
14. Harem

5. Duke
12. Tunnel

7. Nobles
10. Silk Road

8. Fairgrounds
9. Gardens

6. Distant Lands
11. Island

4. Vineyard
13. Feodum

2. Monument
15. Farmland

I used Qvist's rankings as a starting point. Might be I could have messed with it a little more than I did.

I think almost every single one of these cards could have a chance of being part of my most favoritist among all Dominion cards. Really it's only Great Hall and Nobles that I'm indifferent towards and I haven't played enough with Distant Lands yet to have solid feelings about it.

1. Goons
16. Great Hall

3. Bishop
14. Harem

5. Duke
12. Tunnel

7. Nobles
10. Silk Road

8. Fairgrounds
9. Gardens

6. Distant Lands
11. Island

4. Vineyard
13. Feodum

2. Monument
15. Farmland

Picking Farmland over Monument pains me a little. Monument is so straightforward and always feels great to play (oh VP chips, how I love you). But Farmland has the potential for interesting tactical considerations and is just one of those cards that I always want to try interesting things with even if I know they're probably terrible.

I confess, I don't actually know distant lands because I have never played adventures, but I like island so I don't feel so bad.

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

But will it be included in itself? Yes, obviously.

1. Goons - 100+ VP, yes please
16. Great Hall

3. Bishop
14. Harem - I don't like Bishop, never been good with it

5. Duke
12. Tunnel - Gains you metric fucktons of gold

7. Nobles - The Necropolis option is meh, but a terminal draw card that's worth 2 points is pretty awesome
10. Silk Road

8. Fairgrounds
9. Gardens - The original Alt-VP, still awesome as ever

6. Distant Lands
11. Island - They're rather similar, but DL just exiles itself, Island is more flexible

4. Vineyard
13. Feodum - All those yummy combos. Masterpiece, Trader, Amulet, Raid...

2. Monument
15. Farmland - Both are not extremely interesting, but I played a game today with Contraband as the only +Buy where I used Farmland to circumvent the Province ban. So that was pretty cool. If I just played a KC/Monument game, I'd probably have voted Monument.

Not much of a fan of many of these really. I like fairgrounds, great hall, vineyard, and monument a fair bit, but meh on the rest.

EDIT: Fixed, that's what I get for changing my mind.
