As long as at least one treasure is trashed, Forager is a Peddler. Pretty nifty.

+1 buy not plus one card. Oops.

[eHalcyon]

We also get our first VP/Action card since Intrigue. I never thought we would see that concept again.

Island?

[Grujah]

The knights seem like so much fun conceptually. You're attacking each others' kingdoms, but if two knights meet up they both die. I also like the fact that the dames are wearing what looks like might be serviceable armor and not metal bikinis

Yeah, the single fantasy illustration cliche that I hate the MOST is sexy armor girls with no protection.

Also, I will warm inside about 2 knights clashing and dying. So awsome.

Missing:

Market Square, Marauder, Rebuild (Mercenary)

I just LOOOVE Counterfeit.
Bank and HoP and Cache and other kingdom treasures just got a boost.

Also missing: Junk Dealer

The 6 cards we haven't seen yet are Market Square, Marauder, Rebuild, Junk Dealer, Mercenary, and Mystic.

Although we haven't seen Mystic, the text was revealed to be:
$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.

Actually, I can't take credit for that. That is from another source.

Nope, Forager gives +1 Buy, not +1 Card.  Not to mention that it requires that you trash a card.  It's much closer to Trade Route, although it cares about treasures in trash, rather than victory cards gained.  Unlike Trade Route, however, it does give +1 Action.  Trashers with +1 Action can be nice, especially since even if you trash a Copper with it, it generates at least as much as the Copper would have normally given you.

Ugh, I hate the wording on Catacombs...Gain a cheaper card. It would have been better if it said costing less.

Unless somehow those don't mean the same thing.

I can't imagine how they wouldn't, but you never know.

You may trash 2 cards from your hand. If you do, +2 cards, +2 coins, and each other player discards down to 3 cards in hand.

Yeah, that seems...strange.

I love how all these cards trickled out.

First previews, for a week.
Then 1/3 of the set (for beta testers)
Then someone found Beggar and one of the Knights
then most of the cards (as seen here), but still some left

...and art for the cards leaking throughout the process.

Most dramatic revealing, in my mind.

Seems quite powerful! Does it return to the Mercenary pile?

Nooo, there's no new "X Village" card?

I know a couple of the cards have village effects, but their names are different. I really wanted to build an all-village kingdom sometime once all the expansions are out, and we're missing two ... and I doubt Guilds will have two in it.

Village
Mining Village
Native Village
Fishing Village
Worker's Village
Farming Village
Border Village
Walled Village

(edit: fixed workers village)

But you can't get it in the kingdom by itself. You have to include a looter card, and that would break the theme. 

[mnavratil]

Also you have Native Village twice.

I think that Dark Ages is gonna turn everyone into an engine player.

My initial impressions of the cards will change over time, but I don't see any cards that look like big-time BM enablers. On the other hand, this set has major themes of trashing, +Buy, and +Actions, which are all important for engines.

There aren't even any cursers in the set as far as we can tell, and I think that ruins will end up being much worse for BM players than for engine players. In big money, those ruins might as well be curses, but in an engine they're actually (semi) usable.

Even the shelters favor engines!

[mnavratil]

Catacombs looks pretty good for BM, but yeah, otherwise I agree.

That's true, but part of the beauty of Oracle is the attack. This is stronger but I don't think it's going to be one of the best BM enablers out there.

[jonts26]

So storeroom looks amazing for any large hand size engine. I think it will be amazing in tactician games. It's like secret chamber/tact with a free cellar.

Yes, it will be an amazing card in Double Tactitician games

[GendoIkari]

Odd wording on Catacombs... "a cheaper card"? I know it's less words than "a card costing less than this," but it's quite inconsistant from other things we've seen, even with some of the cards in Dark Ages.
