The Dominion Cards Lists 2016 Edition

(1/39) > >>

Qvist:
Four years passed since the first Dominion Card Lists were compiled, the skill level of all players raised and a lot of new knowledge is gained. Again a new expansion was released and everyone is eager to learn how the new cards rank. That means it's time for the 2016 edition of the Dominion Card Lists.

What do you have to do?
This time there are 3 lists due to popular demand. If you like to contribute, go to http://www.qvist.de/dommesh for the best cards list, http://www.qvist.de/dommesh_fav for your favourite cards and http://www.qvist.de/dommesh_art for the best card art.
This video walks you basically through how the web app works or just read on:


I'm not the best web designer to make it look nice, but it works. You have 3 options to submit your list. You can 1.) compare two cards at a time or 2.) order the cards all at once in a big list or 3.) rate them with numerical values. If you do the first option, the app will tell you when you're done and no new "card duel" is available anymore. Internally option 1 and 2 is stored in one list and option 3 in a separate list. There are 2 links for exporting one list to another, so you can for example first give each card a numerical value for a rough estimate and then copy the list and fine tune it by either ordering them or do the remaining comparisms. I didn't include a registration or anything like that for this simple app. You can just login by your Making Fun name and any password you like. The next time you login you just have to remember the password you've set on your first login. I expect that nobody will trick me by using a user name of anyone else. If you have no Making Fun account, just use a user name of your choice. I will also still accept PMs if you still want to do that in the old fashioned way. If you send me a PM please be sure that you put each card in order and don't miss any. If you don't know an expansion very well you can choose to leave it out. But be sure that if you want to include a card of a specific expansion, you have to rank all cards of the expansion. There are no restriction with Promo cards, so if you don't know e.g. Summon very well, you can leave it out.

Cards are only counted if they are kingdom cards, so no Copper, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Potion, Estate, Duchy, Province, Colony, Curse, Prizes, Shelters, Ruins, Spoils, Madman, Mercenary, individual Knights, Treasure Hunter, Warrior, Hero, Champion, Soldier, Fugitive, Disciple or Teacher are allowed. If you want to look up the card texts and also the last year's lists, just go to our wiki. http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com
Regarding Empires: The majority wanted to treat the debt cards like normal coins cost, Castles are in $6+ as the majority costs $6 or more and the rest of the split piles get both cards to rank, so keep that in mind when ranking/rating.
Regarding 2nd Editions: They were just announced, so the new cards aren't available for the first two lists, but you can vote for them in the Art List. The old cards are also still available to rank.
If you submit your list, you also agree that I may give this to third party, like theory or rrenaud. If you don't agree send me a PM.

If you've submitted last year, I will not take your last submission into account.
But if you didn't save your last year's submission and you need it, feel free to PM me and I will send it to you.
Just arrange the cards for your ranking with the best card going first and the worst on the last position.

I included extra lists for Prizes, individual Knights, Ruins, Events and Landmarks. These are optional, you don't have to rank them if you don't want.
You can also if you want rank all the kingdom cards in one big list. This is also optional as this takes a lot of time.
If you want PM me, this list should be subdivided into several lists, containing:
39 $0-$2 cards, 49 $3 cards, 73 $4 cards, 96 $5 cards, 32 $6+ cards, 10 Potion cards = 299

Usual disclaimer: This list should cause discussion not hassle. Of course it's difficult to compare some of the cards because pretty much every card has some situations where it shines and situations where it doesn't. This isn't a scientific list, just a compiled list of the community's opinion of the best cards.

What else?
Submission deadline is the 20th of November 11:59pm UTC.
Each card will get a percentage value based on the rank. So your best card gets 100% and your worst gets 0%. This will result in a compiled list of all of your lists.
When I post the results, I will also include the ususal statistic data. I plan to make videos again for each list, just to give you my thoughts why I think this card landed where it did and some statistics.
If you encounter some bugs, just send me a PM and I'll fix them ASAP.

Let's see how many submissions we get this time. The more we get the better the rankings will be. I can't wait to get your submissions. If you have any questions, ask them here.

Results:

Ruins
$0-$2 cards
$3 cards
$4 cards
Prizes
$5 cards
The rest

Orange:
Yay!  Ranking now and enjoying it way more than I should.

Seprix:
Let's go, kids!

Seprix:
This is how I am ranking the cards, for those who might want help:

Firstly, I will go to the rating section, and rate the cards there, starting from the $0-$2 section and then onward to all the sections, not forgetting to save before starting each new section. I am using 1-100 in increments of 5 (5, 10, 15, 20, etc). After you save each list, the cards will reorder themselves in the numerical value you assigned, highest first. From there, you can finetune and tweak to ensure some cards are above others, like rating a card 77 instead of 75, for example.

ThetaSigma12:
I notice you included the removed cards. Not bad per se, just an observation.
