3. University: (Alchemy, 2P): A fine card in its own right, this can be a trap, especially in decks with poor draw. It does, however, combo well with other cards starting with U, in that it allows you to gain free Upgrades. Being the only card starting with U that costs a potion, however, hurts University somewhat.
2. Urchin: (Dark Ages, 3): Urchin is difficult to rank, being the Peddler of cards starting with U. Indeed, just as you'd never pay 8 for Peddler, you'd never buy Urchin if you were trying to build a U-deck; rather, you buy Urchin to gain the powerful Mercenary, which starts with an M. Still, you can rarely ignore it, which merits its placing above University.
1. Upgrade: (Intrigue, 5): What can we say about this ancient card that was criminally underrated for so long that has not been said? If you're just using it for a copper trasher, watch out -- it may be too slow. A pro-tip: sometimes you have to stop buying upgrades and telling yourself you'll make them into golds on the next shuffle. Sometimes the time for gold is now.

Really? I'm surprised to see them in the bottom 3.

Why not take on a real challenge: A ranking of the cards beginning with Q.
1. Quarry. This worthless card well deserves its position as the worst card on this list. Can't even help in big money!
Any objections?

I might be able to think of one. Q-
Almost got me.

Ranking beginning with Z!
I know this feels like a bit of a cheat, but the top spot goes to... THE ZULU! Led by Shaka. I'm not much of a Domination player myself - I go more for the Culture victory - but if there ever were a Civ built for war, it's this one, and...
...what's that? Oh, I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about Civilizations from Civ 5.
Yeah, there aren't any Dominion cards starting with Z.
-
That's the real reason I'm excited for the new expansion, the possibility of cards that start with Z and X.
-
What about æ?

I didn't know you were Canadian.

That's probably because I am not.

Man, what would that even be? Zebra Riders? Xenophobes? Xylophonist? Zen Master?

It's spelled "eh?".

Zebra Riders
Action–Attack: $5
Each other player reveals the top two cards of his deck. If the two revealed cards share a type, you choose one for him to trash and he puts the other back. If they have no types in common, he discards both.
Xylophone
Treasure: $5
Worth $1 per differently-named Treasure you have in play (including this).

"They" were right. Sarcasm is totally transparent on the Internet.

UPDATE: The new expansion will NOT have any cards named "Zebra Riders," "Xenophobes," "Xylophonist," or "Zen Master."

Jay doesn't appear to have said that.

if we keep guessing the names will we eventually get them confirmed?

You have no way of knowing if we're lying about the names or not. Guess away; it won't help you.

Yes i prefer Qolony which can give you a huge advantage with the 10VP points effect

He is actually Cænadian.

TIL that æ is actually pronounced like the a in "cat", rather than like the a in "pay".

Which is why I replaced the first 'a' with 'æ' rather than the second. I mean I usually make the first vowel a schwa and the second like the 'a' in pay, but it doesn't sound totally off to say Cænadian. Canædian sounds much worse. Maybe this is a dialect thing; I personally have never heard anyone make the first 'a' be a long 'a' sound.

Yeah. I was going to suggestion Canædian based on my mistaken pronunciation, but decided to check first. Ted Mosby misled me with his incorrect pedantry!

I think you forgot Undertaker, which is way overpowered.

Don't forget Ugnaught from the Star Wars tie-in expansion. Such a fun card!

The spelling is correct, but the "p" is silent.
