It depends on the player I was against for me.

If I felt I was going against a much stronger player, I'd probably veto Fairgrounds.
Against a weaker player I would go FV of WV as they seem to play themself

Rabid specified a player of equal rank to you, though.

Edit: Maybe it depends on mean skill vs. certainty?

Pirate Ship because I HATE it.
My initial reaction too, but Kirian's analysis and those who point the finger to the coin provided by Peddler/FV/Woodcutter if someone goes Pirate Ship have a good point.

I'd likely veto Peddler and think hard about going for Fairgrounds here.

I pretty much only play offline nowadays, so i have to go by gut feeling.
Plus if you are not at the top of the leaderboard I dont think equal rank is a brilliant guide to skill level, a lot of it is dependant on who you play and how many games. I got to level 18 or so, and I only played a couple of people many times.

Thanks for voting everyone.

I hope people learnt a little about veto strategy.

Peddler was my pick in the game this was based on against TheSadPanda.
As several people mentioned on this sort of board I find Peddler to have a large first player advantage.
I didn't even think about Pirate Ship, in 2p it is so rarely relevant I don't really notice it any more. But I guess most of the votes for it are a dislike of the card rather than a 2nd player disadvantage.

I would have vetoed random because I didn't see either Tournament or Black Market in the set.

On its way, I'll try to make them about once a week.
But need to wait for an interesting game.

I'd veto Woodcutter, because I don't like veto mode so I always just veto the card I think least likely to be relevant to the game.  Since WV exists, people aren't going to buy Woodcutter because they are desperate for +buy.  If they want $2, they'll buy Silver.  So, woodcutter.
