I bought my Dark Ages from the RGG vendor. They no longer give promo cards with a purchase. I got a nice bag instead. Still would have rather had the promos.

So, if you are on the fence about buying Dark Ages at GenCon, don't let promos be the deciding factor. They're still going for $5 apiece.

Jeez, calm down. You've waited a year, you can wait half an hour...

That's just because you know the cards allready.

And I've kept my mouth shut for over a year! And another several months, until Guilds comes out ...

Oh, just had to rub that in, didn't you.

Always happy to add a little salt to the wound!

I'm more excited about Goko, really, but I still can't log in, so it's hard to stay excited

Half an hour, my foot. We may have to wait at least until GenCon is over for the day.

if theory already knows the entire set, is there any reason he can't spoil it?

I think Donald wants someone from GenCon to have the pleasure of snapping pictures and spoiling it.

Yes, the reason is he is a big meanie!
Haha

I was upfront in admitting that I'll be too busy playing Dark Ages to post anything on them.

If I wasn't on phone, I'd try to upload some pictures, but I am not in that position.

If someone hasn't beat me to it, I'll provide info when I get home.

Never have I wished harder for a thumbs-down or –1 button.

I +1'ed your post as a virtual -1 to Kuildeous.

Kuildeous · « **Reply #18 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:04:05 pm »

But I am waiting for a game, so here's something.

Mystic
+1 Action, +2 Cards
Name a card. Reveal the top card. Of it's the named card, put it I'm your hand.

Catacombs
Look at the top 3 cards of your deck. Choose one: Put them in your hand; or discard them and +3 Cards.

When you trash this, gain a cheaper card.

Storeroom
+1 Buy
Discard any number of cards. +1 Card per card discarded. Discard any number of cards. +1 per card discarded the second time.

Now for my game.

LastFootnote · « **Reply #19 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:05:28 pm »

So Mystic is strictly superior to Laboratory at the same cost? I think we're missing something here.

mnavratil · « **Reply #20 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:05:36 pm »

An you are now redeemed (slightly).

theory · « **Reply #21 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:06:20 pm »

Here's the corrected version of those cards from Kuildeous:

Mystic
$5

+1 Action
+$2

Name a card. Reveal the top card of your deck. If it's the named card, put it into your hand.

Catacombs
$5

Look at the top 3 cards of your deck. Choose one: Put them into your hand; or discard them and +3 Cards.

When you trash this, gain a cheaper card.

Storeroom
$3

+1 Buy

Discard any number of cards. +1 Card per card discarded. Discard any number of cards. +$1 per card discarded the second time.

Grujah · « **Reply #22 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:06:22 pm »

~~Mystic is just Wishing Well with +1 card~~ and Catacombs is 3 card oracle with trash effect

That's underwhelming.

Storeroom is double Cellar, but it seems cool

Wait, Mystic is acutally great

A non-terminal silver that gets you card thats on top of deck - it's easy to gain such knowledge which makes it awesome

Beyond Awesome · « **Reply #23 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:08:34 pm »

Storeroom seems to have potential.

mnavratil · « **Reply #24 on:** August 16, 2012, 02:08:42 pm »

Catacombs seems like one of the better BM-enablers so far.

EDIT: It is also missing the attack portion; which is important for oracle.
