Man, people really like trashing now.
Here's a question. I think most people believe:
- the price jump from 4 to 5 is especially significant in Dominion, and most 5s are substantially better than most 4s
- Knights are pretty good for a 5
- Sir Martin is not a very good Knight.
I know I believe all three of these things. Now these three points seem to be a little contradictory. Sir Martin is a good 5, for the price of 4. Isn't that really good? How would you rank a pile of 10 Sir Martins against the other 4s?
agree with jsh on Michael, and Destry should totally be top 3
Oh man, a couple of days ago I got paired up with a player who played very suboptimally, but went first and opened Anna on a 5/2. Anna was the only trasher and he ended up kicking my ass despite not playing well. I almost came out from behind and won, but the Dame Anna advantage is just so, so significant.Yes, but a trasher's effectiveness is much lower if it's gained later, so we should keep in mind that your case shows Anna at her OP-est.
Man, people really like trashing now.
Is trashing with Anna THAT good? If you trash your coppers / estates / junk in a Knights game, isn't it more likely your $3-$6 cards will be trashed by other players' knights?
Kind of surprised people prefer Sir Vander, who literally does nothing, to Sir Martin, when Buy can often be very scarce and thus Martin is the only source for it on the board. I mean it's still a bad Knight, but if I could choose what I get I would prefer it to Vander a lot of the time.

To sir martin: The +buy isn't very good in most knI like herght games since your deck probably gets demolished to the point where you are not making use of the buys.
Unpopular opinion: Sylvia>Destry because she is more likely to let you hit 5 again in those disastrous knight games where you deck is worthless until the knights go down.
Natalie and Vander should be way higher. Molly and Michael should be lower.
