Ok... is this going to be a decent combo or strategy, or is it just poor?

So we have Develop, which ain't great. Then we have Poorhouse, that costs 1, and wants decks that ain't fill of cash. And you've got coppers and estates to work on. All we need now is a 3 cost village like Fishing Village or Village, and we've got the potential for Develop to very quickly make a deck that can generate $8 a turn.

So copper goes to -> poorhouse. Estate goes to village+poorhouse.

Now we've got the potential for Develop to very quickly make a deck that can generate $8 a turn.

Hell, if you don't have Village there, you can always develop estates into develop + poor house, and then develop your develop to get that worker village instead.

And here's another thought: if there's one thing develop IS good at, its getting three piles low before you get a chance to do much.

So maybe there's an opportunity here for a deck that builds towards getting one or two provinces fast, then running out piles?

What do you reckon? Combo or nombo?

What would you run out?
Village, Poor House, and... Develop?

I think you would be better off Spamming Villages and Poor Houses with 1 or 2 Develops and then picking up a +Buy source if the engine runs smoothly enough to Double Province each turn.

Played a game last night with develop, poor house and shanty town.

Definitely couldn't get that to work (played it twice too)

Likely works better with a drawing village.

This seems like it would work better with remake. Neither topdecking nor the ability to gain extra poorhouses from your estates is valuable enough to have a trasher that's 2x as slow.

If it's Fishing Village, I say definitely combo. It gives you $5 or even $6 on that turn.
I'd say it's worthwhile Developing Estate into Oasis and Poor House as well.

Oh definitely! But almost everything works well with Remake, the Engine Decks friend! On the other hand, Develop barely works with anything, which is why I'm always looking out for stuff for it to partner with.

Then you might like this:

Oh and Develop's not so bad afterall:

Develop Feodum into Silver/Graverobber on deck. Gain 3 Silvers.

Next turn graverob your Feodum back (if it's still there) and use your Silver + whatever else (probably more Silvers) to buy another Feodum/Silver.

Yeah, it's a three card combo but so what.

oooh i do, i do.
