This Qvist guy is pretty good but he might be crazy, he even gives replies to weak/naive players commenting on his matches from 1-2 years ago.

Yeah, Magic does the same sort of thing with which deck searches are optional + revealed ("a creature") and which are hidden + mandatory "any card".

I'm definitely going to miss woodcutter, just a cheap solid simple +buy. Thief's replacement is probably for the best but I will miss Thief/Gardens multiplayer.
Not a huge fan of the easy Gold gaining, even if Gold is often not great in modern engines.
I also miss Saboteur, but while I think Dominion as a whole is better with it Intrigue probably was not.
Sentry's pretty interesting - at first I thought it is much stronger than Junk Dealer which is already pretty good (you basically get the +$1 back by not trashing from hand), but you're a bit less likely to have cards to hit with it after a few uses. Of course some of these other cards will put things back on the deck for you!
Oh hey, Secret Chamber / Minion was the most annoying thing ever and now Diplomat / Minion is quite nice.

« on: September 23, 2016, 05:24:24 am »
I'm a big fan of not doing setup for BM cards. We also skip Potion cards (draw the next card) if Potions weren't otherwise out - hasn't actually come up for Ruins but I guess we'd skip those too. Drawing the Treasure Map is fine.

Hopefully the update packs are easy to get in Canada!
I think I'll apply errata with stickers to my binder pockets, so when a card is taken out I can remind the players.

Rules Questions / Re: Throne Room and Feast vs. Throne Room and MadMan
« on: September 05, 2016, 03:07:18 pm »
Note that you do get the +2 actions again. Being in the supply doesn't stop you from replaying the Madman, just from putting it into play. The "if you did" clause stops you from getting the cards.

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Landmarks: Bandit Fort
« on: September 01, 2016, 03:34:58 am »
Had Bandit Fort and Windfall as our non-card things today, which at first seemed terrible but the game proved to be interesting. It was possible to make an engine and get Windfall, then use Remake Gold -> Expand, then enjoy. I finished with 4 Gold/Silver doing that, a Venture / Junk Dealer player had 5. Margin of victory was the 5th Treasure and 1 Estate (though Venture player had an extra turn, and I didn't incorporate Groundskeeper which would have done a lot - 3rd player was trying to set up the engine with those, but didn't have any money so it took too long).

Did you ever consider not having thresholds on the variable VP cards? You could get rid of most by rounding at the end instead of per card (so 4 gardens at 46 cards is 18 points), or just have fractional VP (18.4 points).

Dominion Articles / Re: Delve: A Brief Overview
« on: August 28, 2016, 04:56:42 pm »
Envoy/Delve seemed pretty beastly - had it come up alongside Baker in a multiplayer game, with Tower as a landmark (+1 VP per card from an empty pile). So open Envoy and double-silver, flood like mad, pick up envoys due to bloated silver deck, etc.

Let's try a question.
You've said that Scrying Pool would be a better card without the Attack part. Would it still Spy yourself to set up, or just live with the luck of the draw?

« on: August 21, 2016, 01:30:38 pm »
It's at d176 now, so for anybody else with my view tonight or tomorrow will probably be a reasonable time to jump in.
And looks like -1.5 or so per day, for my original question - probably linearly decreasing to 0.

Goko Dominion Online / rate of MF subscription cost decrease?
« on: August 18, 2016, 05:10:30 am »
I'm thinking of getting the MF subscription for the rest of the year. But I'm annoyed by the fake currency leading to inconvenient pricing (currently at 181 Making Funbucks), so I want to wait until it is at 175 (for US$17) or 160 (for US$15). Does anybody know how fast it goes down, if you own nothing?

Dominion General Discussion / Re: could you ever see yourself playing Dominion for money?
« on: August 17, 2016, 05:46:23 am »
When you think Dominion (or any game) has too much luck to play for money, that just means you're playing for too much money. Poker is a skill game and yet it's still completely stupid to put your entire life savings into a heads-up match even as the favourite. Instead you wager small amounts and play a lot, against different people. What does it matter if Donald X gets me with the lucky Black Market or whatever, I'll just keep making money on average from other people.

Do you give any thought to the alphabetic distribution of cards in sets? For example, Empires has 7 piles beginning with C, and 2/3 of its cards in the first half of the alphabet. Cornucopia has most of the set beginning with F and H.
(Also, did you have to put Empires in between Dark Ages and Guilds? Those two were sharing a binder page, since small sets take 1.5 pages. Worked well for Alchemy / Cornucopia, too)

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Empire Events: Wedding?
« on: July 11, 2016, 04:48:20 am »Buying Wedding (and Debt cards in general) is best when you are at the end of your shuffle. That way, you can maximize your purchase by having the Debt card help to pay off the debt.
I'm not so sure about that. If you want your debt card to give you a spike in power (in this case, the gold leading to an early $6/$7 turn), it can be easier on a blank debt slate. That way you don't draw it at the start of the shuffle and have to use the turn to pay some debt leaving not enough money to do anything great.
