Rogue shines

The best thing about being 'back' is playing some of these Dark Ages combos...

Here it was Procession/Fortress to gain Rogues and then play them - sometimes four in a turn.
Turn 17 was a favorite:
- Used Lookout to pull a Fortress into my hand
- Used Procession on the Fortress
- Played four Rogues: Killed and retrieved a gold and a duchy


End of Turn 16

I knew about the Fortress/Procession combo. But Lookout/Procession is pretty nice too and it never really occurred to me.

Also on this board as Feast.
If you were to Procession Feast do you get three $5 cards? Or only two because it's trashed before Procession can trash it?

You get three $5-cost cards; Procession trash/gain doesn't have an "if you do" clause, you gain a card even if you didn't trash it. (Applies equally to Procession on other self-trashers - Mining Village, Embargo, etc.)

Procession/Fortress is indeed epic.

Do you mean Lookout/Fortress? Procession/Lookout doesn't seem too great, you trash two cards out of the top 5 and trash the lookout and gain a 4-cost card. Lookout/Fortress is pretty cute though, makes mid-game Lookout plays a lot safer if you have a Fortress engine.

Oh my, rogue/duke sounds horrific. Your Duchy split is never safe! All your VP is up for grabs!

You know what I love about this forum?  We don't have 90% of the members unable to spell "rogue."  It's like the opposite of WOW trade chat.

Ah, but is that a good way to gage the over all level of discoarse on a cite?
