Wow! This is definitely saving the best until last. Simple but game-warping stuff!

It wouldn't necessarily be winning play, but it would be deeply amusing to gain an action and immediately play it twice via combining Citadel and Innovation.

I'm wondering how often it's right to open with Star Chart to guarantee you get your other purchase into play on T3.

Via Cobbler you can make this happen.

Maybe a better place to ask this is on the ShuffleIT forum, but perhaps someone here knows:

Are all games this weekend going to have two Projects?  Meaning no Events or Landmarks?

My suggestion was 1-2, so that events and landmarks could show up.

Yes, but if you more precisely asked what you meant to, no. You play Priest. You get +$2. You trash a card. Sewers triggers and you trash a second card. Now Priest's "this turn when you trash +$2" becomes active. It wasn't active during either card trash.

Innovation, when your first gain is in your buy phase can you use the coin supplied by the purchased and played card? What about coffers? I'm pretty sure it's a no for coffers. If you buy a crown and innovation plays it does it have to be played as an action?

Coins, yes. Coffers, no.

Crown is not "played as an Action". It is both an Action and a Treasure. If gained during your Buy phase, Innovation can play it, and since it is your Buy phase, you will be able to play a Treasure twice.

I played a game with Crown, Innovation, and Bank today. It was crazy. The last turn featured me getting 9 buys and $67. I bought a Province and three Estates. I lost.

EDIT: Wait, I'm a Scout.

Hmm.. If you play a Crown in your Night phase, I suppose it does nothing?

Innovation is great for nearly every Tavern Mat card, Hireling, and as previously mentioned, makes Treasure Map much easier to use.

Between the mechanics of Star Chart and Secret Passage, it seems like Stash should be implemented now online. It certainly doesn't need to have a different back in the online version since it will automatically be pulled out of the deck instead of having to track it down IRL.

I said 'nearly' on the Tavern Mat card because I didn't want to have to grind through all the cards in my mind and see if they were all good.

So I hadn't played online for awhile, but I had to try these out, and I have to say, all of these cards are amazingly fun.  Silos is so great, somehow despite feeling like a borderline-must-buy?  Like, even if you are going to trash your coppers away, it really feels like Silos gets your trashing moving way faster (and without the collision danger of just opening with two trashers).  I was a bit surprised by just how great Innovation is too, even if you can only get it working in the Buy phase (Minion was fun here).  Sewers, hm, yes please.  Actually, they're just all great.

I'm very excited about this new set!

You can also just not play any Actions in your Action phase, then buy a card.

Black Market <3 Innovation

Black Market = $3
Innovation = $6

$3 < 3*$6
$3 < $18

Math checks out.

Ok I think I understand but then it seems I may have found a bug in Dominion Online.

I bought Sewers, then played Priest, trashed a card, then Sewers activated and I trashed another card, but I didn't get any extra money. Only the initial $2 from Priest. So either it is a bug, or I'm not understanding the rules correctly.

Well this appears to be the number one rules question of the previewed cards.

Let's say you trash a Copper with Priest. You don't get the bonus +$2 for that - you haven't gotten to that part of the card yet. You get +$2, you trash Copper, and then "this turn, when you trash a card, +$2" turns on.

Let's say you also have Sewers. You trash a Copper with Priest. You get +$2, you trash Copper, Sewers lets you trash another card, and then "this turn, when you trash a card, +$2" turns on. You don't get the extra +$2 for Sewers, just like you didn't get it for the card that Priest itself trashed. Sewers happens in the middle.

Innovation-Artisan gives you a lot of possibilities.  Don't want that Seer to Innovate during your Buy phase?  Throw in a Coffer, and you can topdeck him instead.  And hey, now you have an Artisan too!  Next time you can gain another Seer during you Action phase, and he can Innovate if he wants to!  Stuck buying a Duchy?  $6, buy Artisan, gain a Duchy, topdeck a dead terminal or whatever.

Swashbuckler likes Silo pretty well.  Just make sure you leave three cards on your deck if you still can.

Mountain Village sometimes has trouble with Silo.  If your shuffle starts with MV and at least one Copper, MV becomes "+2 Actions, +$1".  Alternatively, you can think of it as: if you only Silo a single Copper, it's as if you hadn't used Silo at all.  More generally, having X MV in your starting hand negates using Silo on X Coppers.  Either Silo cripples MV, or MV negates Silo.

Is using more than 2 sideways cards considered a variant; or simply outside a recommendation?

I get that's what it's supposed to be, but wording doesn't make sense.

How does it not make sense? You discard the Coppers, revealed. And then you draw that many cards.

You discard the coppers, revealed? But no coppers were revealed. There's nothing that says to reveal your hand. The syntax is messed up. How does that make sense?
"Revealed" means "also, reveal those coppers, so that we know they are coppers. By the way sorry for saying this so tersely but there's only so much room on the cards and if it had ever confused anyone in playtesting man I would have changed it."

Was “reveal and discard” considered? It should be basically the same character count.

But where are they revealed from? Often things are revealed from the top of your deck, or somewhere else.

Shepherd says "revealing them" instead of "revealed". A few more characters, but it's not like text size hasn't been slightly reduced on cards before.

Speaking of Artisan, I just won a game where I was planning to use Innovation with Workshop to do a Gardens rush. I said "planning" because my opponent resigned when I bought Innovation. But I think it would have been really powerful.

The different back does still need implementing: it gives information to your opponents.
