Steed is spectacular when it's the only Village, but still good otherwise as well - you can use it for +$2/+2 Cards in those circumstances, which is very nice.  I don't think I've ever actually used the Silver shuffle.

I used it once in a slog game.

I'm the rare beast that really likes Farming Village. Being guaranteed you'll draw a non-useless card, AND still getting through the junk. A sort-of counter to some deck-messers (Rabble, Fortune Teller, Sea Hag) while still being useful in the general case.

Nobody else for Inn ?

Trusty Steed is a better prize than Followers in engine games where Followers might just ruin your own deck.

And because I'm a huge fan of engine building, I almost always picked up Trusty Steed first when I had the chance.

"The Silver Shuffle" needs to be a dance.

Looters ruin that.  Ehe.  See what I did there?

Mine is Native Village.

It is wonky and definitely relies a little on chance.
But i also feels like it is one of the cards were playing it well may have a huge impact on your game (instead of just knowing when to buy it).

Mine and Native Village are two very different cards - certainly it is too far to say that one IS the other.

...sorry, couldn't resist.

Oh yes sorry, i was thinking about Mint not Mine ;-)

I really like having Necropolis in my deck without having to even do anything. It's just there, rewarding me for wanting to open double terminals.

I had a 3p IRL game where it was the best enabler for Feoda. It worked out pretty nicely, since they didn't contest the Feoda, which gave me enough time to play the Steed enough to make the Feoda meaningful. That, and scads of silvers go a long way to buying Provinces.

The problem is that if they pick up Followers, it ruins your deck too, so you don't really avoid that by getting Steed first, assuming a somewhat similar strategy from your opponent. Usually when I pick up Steed first, it's because I'm ahead and don't think my opponent can actually get Followers.

[WanderingWinder]

Steed can be better when villages are at a premium, when curses are already flying, and pretty much any time that decent trashing is around in an engine and, more importantly, the discard attack isn't doing anything for you.

Also any time the opponent has reliable moat-ing, or sometimes watchtower, usually via scheme.

Is it bad that I was going to make this same joke before reading your post?

Followers is terminal and Steed gives +2 actions. I would gladly give up Followers if that means that I can keep my engine going and double-Province or something.

Also, if your opponent grabs Followers after you had the opportunity to, then your deck doesn't go bad as quickly because the Followers is played later.

Nah, I bet a lot of us were.

Inn is a Trap.

Yes but again I'm not saying Inn is the best village, but my favorite.

[WanderingWinder]

Wait, are we seriously saying Inn is a trap?

I thought it was just an Admiral Akbar thing...

[ehunt]

Fishing village exemplifies the best parts about dominion. To be good, you have to learn principles, e.g., don't buy a billion terminals. And then to get better, you have to throw your principles away, because omg fishing village.

[ahyangyi]

Border Village and Crossroads.

Perhaps because I only own Base and Hinterlands?

An Inn in hand is roughly as useful as a warehouse (less sifting power, more actions), but with a very useful on-gain ability.

If that is a trap, other cards with on-gain abilities like Border Village (as useful as a Village), IGG (usually worse than a silver) will all be traps.

[SirPeebles]

I think Border Village is pretty up front with itself; pay a bit extra for that $5 card and it comes with a Village.  If anything, you are pleasantly surprised when you realize that the $6 cost pairs nicely with tfb.

Inn, on the other hand, looks a lot like Village.  But your handsize is not maintained.  You say it's like Warehouse, but Warehouse is also a bit of a trap to non experts.  Just look at the Goko bots.
