Village is well priced at 3$. In fact, when I need a Village or several, I'm more than willing to pay 4$ for it (such as e.g. Framing Village after I've trashed all the green, Walled Village when I0m sure I'll play 3 or more actions this turn etc.).

People tell me one of the problems with Scout is that Scout BM is apparently worse than straight BM.

I look at Village then look back at them.
Village is cheaper and, unlike Scout, is assured to draw you a card.
so it's a good BM enabler?

The card is actually a pretty big deal. Often, I have either a hand full of Festivals or terminals.
With Village, this is less likely.

No, it's terrible; but it's still better BM enabler than Scout.

(such as e.g. Framing Village
Framing Village - $4 Action
+1 Card
+2 Actions
You may slip an incriminating item into another player's pocket without them noticing.  If you do, that player immediately loses.

The best reason to lynch Haddock is the meltdown we get to witness on the wagon runup. I mean, we should totally wagon him every day just for the lulz.

There is an increase of 25% of likelihood that you get a useful card together with your village, so that's cool.

The problem would be the online implementation of this. Framing is great with Windows, but I'm not sure about Linux or iOS.

I look at Village then look back at them.

I have certainly never used that as an example for why Scout (or any other card) is bad.  Forager is an amazing card, but Forager-BM isn't happening.  Similarly Ironmonger at $4, that would be a terrible BM game.

I didn't mention any names! It's 'some people,' not 'Kirian.'

And the "h" has rolled out of the artist's name. Curious.
"Stephan" is correct; there have been a few mistakes in artist names over the years.

Ironmonger-BM is much better than Vanilla-BM. Sifting, money and potentially draw makes it a pretty solid and quite spammable BM enabler. It's apparently about as good as Smithy according to the wiki. The reason that Ironmonger-BM is rarely seen is that Ironmonger also enables or helps a lot of other strategies, and they are often going to be better.
