Hope to see a few hardcore Dominion players join us to show their support!

Dominion General Discussion / Many newbie questions Smugglers/Jack/HT/Minion/Forge

« on: March 17, 2015, 04:35:03 pm »

I played a recent game on Goku, and would like some thoughts from better players.

Kingdom: Duchess, Vagrant, Smugglers, Philosopher's Stone, Horse Traders, JackOfAllTrades, Militia, Horn of Plenty, Minion, Forge

Questions:

 - I opened Jack and skipped Smugglers altogether. Mistake? What's the best opening?
 - I skipped Smugglers because I already had two terminals, but maybe I need one instead of Militia. Thoughts?
 - I always think that Minion is strong, but on this board with no engine, is it still strong? Minion/Forge for thinning?
 - Turn 6 I bought Forge because I didn't want Gold to be smuggled. So many terminals, but it worked ok.
 - I start greening really early, and it worked in the game. Does Forge make this possible, or was I lucky and/or opponent mistakes?

Thanks for any advice!

EDIT: I know I shouldn't post a game where I win easily, but I'm really curious about best play here.
