I miss the second Familiar turn 8 so have to settle for Secret Chamber. However this card becomes my MVP as I never buy money, just Labs and a single KC. Despite losing the Curse war 6-4 I win.

Yeah, Secret Chamber is underrated.

Yeah, Secret Chamber is underrated. the worst $2 card.

Only if you don't know how to use it well.

Fixed again.

No, I'm just kidding. Actually, I like Secret Chamber, and it's better than I thought. I'm loving it in Ambassador games these days, where it's really helpful for making sure your Ambassadors don't collide and pairing off Estates and Coppers. I still think it's probably the weakest $2. If anything, it's competing with Pearl Diver and Herbalist, not Duchess and Moat. But this is re-opening an old debate... anyway, the use of Secret Chamber in the above game is pretty cool.

I actually think Moat is the worst in 2p, but not the worst overall since it gets so much better in multiplayer. 

Back before I started playing in Isotropic, I thought Secret Chamber was the worst card in the game.  And now it's my single highest Effect With, but that took quite a while to happen.  If you're a mid-level player (or even a good BM-esque player) it totally makes sense to rank Secret Chamber last, it's primarily an exotic engine helper masquerading as a Moat-that-doesn't-actually-Moat, so it's hard to figure out.
