A Critical Look at fan-favorite: fool's gold

(1/4) > >>

silvern:
I don't like the implication that somehow getting more and more fool's gold is suddenly good for somebody.

teamlyle:
It's a quick way to get payload if you have a few extra coin and +buys, but I agree that people get it too much, especially at the beginning. I think that opening double Fool's Gold is rarely a good idea, since if they don't collide, you've basically opened with 2 Coppers.

silvern:
ha, actually I was making a cheap joke about how little the card makes sense thematically.

You are by far the better person here by advancing actual Dominion discussion!

greybirdofprey:
Maybe whoever buys metals from our mines is really susceptible to large quantities.

aku_chi:
I interpret the Fool's Gold flavor as a commentary on fiat currency.  The more Fool's Gold gets used and accepted as currency, the more value it has.  Unlike Silver and Gold, the value isn't in the commodity itself, but in its use as a medium of exchange.
