Title: Menagerie Record
Post by: ehunt on July 16, 2011, 07:52:10 pm

What's the record on isotropic for "most successful menageries played in a turn?"

Not on Isotropic, but I had 4 successful Menageries IRL, plus one that only gave +1 card. Thank God for Hamlets...

I played an IRL game where one turn started with me playing 5 successful Menageries in a row. I revealed a hand of 12 differently names cards to activate the final Menagerie.

Has anyone built a combo along the lines of Village/Vault/Menagerie?  Village to get two actions, Vault to get rid of duplicates (and cards likely to be duplicated later such as coppers), and Menagerie away.

Hamlet/Menagerie would also work, as you could discard your duplicates with Hamlets.

I once built a terrible deck on the premise of menagerie + hamlet being awesome for card draw.  I put so much effort into getting menageries and hamlets that i never got anything else except curses and wound up drawing my whole deck every turn but ending with 2 copper in hand.

I once had festival+vault+library. Very potent.

I played 7 successful menageries in a turn today. I won that turn. Here's the log:

Once i managed to collect 7 provinces in 13 turns (5 provinces in my deck after turn 11)  using mortal cards: menagerie, outpost, remake, hoard, pearl diver. Don't know what you really mean by most successful turn, but definetly one of the most successful games as you can't realistically get much better.

As i side note i opened remake silver and remaked estates into menageries.

I don't recall my highest Menagerie streak, but I do remember opening up a Tactician turn with a successful Menagerie. That was fun.
