It's perfect because it would combo really well with Scout and Spy.

Scout ensures that those precious Estates won't be accidentally trashed by Barber.  Thank-you, Scout.  You have saved the day once again.

Ok maybe not REALLY well with Scout, but you could at least chew through coppers and curses that way.

Guys!  Guys!  Hey, guys!

LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TILL DARK AGES PREVIEWS.

[werothegreat]

Shall we start a countdown?  7 days left.

[werothegreat]

Also - query: will the Base Cards set be updated to include Shelters and Ruins?

[werothegreat]

Also (and sorry for 3 posts in a row): do you think perhaps we're judging some cards too harshly (Chancellor, Develop, Thief, etc) because we don't have the full picture?  It's possible that some Dark Ages and Guilds cards will even out the power of the current cards - might be that some of them will make Chancellor, Develop and Thief good.  Think about it: Cache and IGG made Counting House better.  What cards could exist that would make these cards shine?

No.

Since Dark Ages will have a Trashing theme, I bet Thief and Develop will both get some interactions.

I don't expect Chancellor will change.

Chancellor just needs to trigger tunnel and he'd be fine :p

[Morgrim7]

Chancellor just needs to trigger tunnel and he'd be fine :p

Then he would have two powerful combos instead of one. Other than that, he would be just as bad.

Then he would have four almost powerful combos instead of one. Other than that, he would be just as bad.

FTFY

Counting House, Stash, Inn.

[LastFootnote]

Chancellor/Counting House falls firmly into the category of "not worth it", just like Coppersmith/Counting House. Vault/Counting House I could see in an engine.

 I did that once with Cache and Counting House.

I actually brought up Cache/Counting House here.

I mean Cache and Coppersmith, in addition to Vault and Counting House.  I believe there were some Worker's Villages in there as well.

Then once is the operative word. You did it once. You're not reliably pulling off a massive draw engine with all your Coppers plus all the Treasure cards from the Cache(s) you bought. Not against a decent opponent, anyway.

Also - query: will the Base Cards set be updated to include Shelters and Ruins?

I would be a little surprised (and disappointed) if the Shelters and Ruins didn't already have art. My hope is that they either have text on them (and art on the top) or they have full-card art already.

I believe it was Worker's Village, Rabble, Vault, Cache, Coppersmith, and Counting House.  Got a bunch of WV, few Rabbles, 1 or 2 Caches, couple Vaults, one more Counting House than Vaults, and a couple Coppersmiths.  So i'd draw everything in hand, Vault it away, Counting House it back in hand, Vault it, CH, Coppersmith, buy everything.  There was probably another Village in there somewhere.

That... might be as far from being a "combo" as any combo has ever been.  Six cards necessary to make it work?  Once in a lifetime.

More like a synergistic board than a combo.  An engine with other stuff?

I hope this thread won't explode when we get info on the cards. I suggest we have a new thread for each new card or maybe for each new three cards instead, because there will probably be a lot of discussion on each of them.

What were the first hinterland cards? I wasn't there.

Seconded.

In Province games, Chancellor-Stash is super duper strong when it appears, in my experience.  I can't think of any stronger two-card combos. 

Also, if you look closely, Chancellor is a woman.
