Topic: Favorite Peddler variant bracket (Read 17260 times)

werothegreat · « **on:** April 09, 2016, 12:06:16 am »

Might as well make one of these. I stretched the definition of "Peddler variant" a little bit to get 2ⁿ entries to make it easier to bracket, but I'll stand by my choices. I think Conspirator, Venture and Ironmonger are thought of as Peddler variants more often than Tribute, City or Mining Village, at any rate.

1) Market
2) Treasury

There's some fun stuff you can do with the topdecking (see Outpost) but ultimately I'm more often wishing I had +Buy than the topdeck effect.

3) Baker
4) Caravan Guard

Not even close!

5) Mystic
6) Venture

Come on, we all know Venture doesn't count on this list. That's not a cantrip. It's not even an Action.

7) Conspirator
Grand Market

I love love love Conspirator, so this one was a toughie, but ultimately I'm often at a loss to do when there is a good Conspirator engine but no +Buy...

9) Peddler
10) Highway

Another toughie! You like just pulling at my heartstrings and putting my favorites together. Peddler's TFB antics are hilarious, but Highway has so many great dumb combos that I can't not call it here.

11) Junk Dealer
12) Oasis

J-Dizzle has saved more decks than I can imagine with its clutch cantrip trashing! Oasis is cool but it's more of a sifter than a Peddler in practice.

13) Tournament
14) Artificer

Tournament is super swingy and often decides the game. Artificer is an edgy high-skill card that is very rewarding and fun to play with. Everyone should love Artificer.

15) Bazaar
16) Ironmonger
+Action? Snoooooze. Ironmonger is super cool cause it does a variety of shit. Bazaar just makes it tricky to calculate your payload.

It's been a couple days, so I'm going to tally now. Half of these were really close, and the other half were just no contest.

1) Market 9
2) Treasury 8 - Market wins! By 1 vote.
|
3) Baker 16
4) Caravan Guard 1 - I guess you all just love Baker. This was the highest spread of them all.

5) Mystic 12
6) Venture 5 - Mystic wins!
|
7) Conspirator 8
8) Grand Market 9 - Grand Market wins!

9) Peddler 6
10) Highway 11 - Highway wins!
|
11) Junk Dealer 13
12) Oasis 4 - Junk Dealer wins by a landslide!

13) Tournament 8
14) Artificer 9 - Too bad, Tournament, Artificer is in the house!
|
15) Bazaar 9
16) Ironmonger 8 - This makes me sad, but I guess you all just barely like Bazaar better.

New bracket:

1) Market
3) Baker

5) Mystic
8) Grand Market

10) Highway
11) Junk Dealer

It's been a few days, so time to count things up again!

1) Market 5
3) Baker 12 - Baker crushes Market like an infant's still-forming skull.
|
5) Mystic 6
8) Grand Market 11 - The GRAND Market fares better, defeating the charlatan psychic with the power of CAPITALISM.

10) Highway 7
11) Junk Dealer 9 - You guys apparently like trash better than infrastructure.
|
14) Artificer 11
15) Bazaar 6 - Artificer wins handily.

I didn't count Roadrunner's second vote. McGarnacle didn't vote for Highway/Junk Dealer, but it didn't end up mattering.

Our penultimate bracket:

3) Baker
8 ) Grand Market
|
11) Junk Dealer
14) Artificer

- Save money, or big money?

vs

- Trash things, or gain things?

Both unique cards unlike the boredom of junk dealer and all grand market has for it is the copper clause which is just annoying to me.

Baker is by far the best peddler left. I preffered the other three options from the round of 8 to the other members of the final four.

If I had voted before last night, I would have voted JD. But I played 2 games with Artificer last night and it was absolutely insane in both. Turning on Menageries, midturn topdecking King's Court, even piling out itself and another pile to end the game. Artificer is nuts, rapidly moving up my favorite card list.
