You just erase the cost in the corner, and write in a cheaper one, and no-one can stop you.
are there terminals that are really worth ferrying?Knights?
I think it's pretty much a no-brainer with good nonterminals. Even some weakish card like Treasury gets quite exciting once you start picking it up for $3. It may be worth it to put the token on Forge early if it's the onlytreasuretrasher. (imagine the 2-5 on a Baker board). Obvious event combo is Lost Arts. And I imagine Action-Victory can be a good reason to move the token later, picking up those Distant Lands for $3.
It gets more interesting with mainly terminals and no engine. On your standard Mountebank-BM board, I still definitely open with this on 3/4 to get a Mounty in the first shuffle. Same holds for many $5 Junkers probably (ohmygod Cultist. It will be more horrible than ever). But other than that, are there terminals that are really worth ferrying?
EDIT: Man I obivously was already a bit tired when writing this. Those damn words are just too similar.
Some other random thoughts on its cost:It cost $4 at one point. Stef argued that $3 would be fairer.
- At least it cost $3, so that either player can (usually) buy it on T1 (costing $4 would I feel give a huge advantage to a player opening 4/3 vs. 3/4).
- I feel a player opening 5/2 would usually be at a huge disadvantage over a 3/4 or 4/3 opening, and opening 2/5 would be even more disadvantageous
- Maybe it should cost $6 or something.
--> What am I misunderstanding here?
- Does it do other cute tricks? Uh, Band of Misfits? I will just tell you, the combo I really like is Artificer.
I've played with this once (the one time IRL I played Adventures). I didn't understand it at the time, but once I realized what it did, I thought it was WAY OP. Maybe I'm wrong, but guaranteeing a Wharf or Minion or Monty or whatever on T2 seems just silly to me.
A nice interaction I could think of is Ferry-Stonemason. You could of course put the -2 cost token on a specific Action Supply pile. You could also put it on Stonemason. Which would mean, for the original cost of a Card you could always get two copies of that (if you pick up a Stonemason). And you would never have to shift the -2 cost token, if there are several cards you'd like more copies of. As long as Stonemason is still in the supply, having the -2 cost token there is somewhat like putting a -2 cost token on all the cards. Not literally of course, because it's not exactly the same, but you know what I mean.

Link to the one you started (I am not going to go find it myself) and I'll go give it a sympathy up vote in addition to the sympathy up vote I gave this post...

I do get most of my respect from memes.
I disagree about Quarry bring a crappy Gold. Even without +Buy, it can help you better hit an important $5 cost like MB, Cultist, Witch etc. It slightly increases your odds over opening double Silver.Gold does that as well?
But you can't open with Gold.I disagree about Quarry bring a crappy Gold. Even without +Buy, it can help you better hit an important $5 cost like MB, Cultist, Witch etc. It slightly increases your odds over opening double Silver.Gold does that as well?
