Title: Emptyng piles with DA
Post by: Squeek on August 21, 2012, 12:37:09 pm
I can think of a combo that lets you empty a pile in one turn with these new cards and watchtower.

Rat rat fortress watchtower - rat gnaws on fortress, new rat on deck, repeat

Getting four cards to line up in your hand is tough, so this wouldn't happen often.

Anybody else have a pile emptying combo?

This has been discussed a lot in the preview thread for Rats.  You don't even need anything specific besides Rats:

- draw your deck
- have two Rats in hand
- play Rats repeatedly

Fortress helps but isn't necessary.  You can empty the Rats pile even if you have to trash some stuff on the way.  And if you manage to play off all your other cards in hand first, leaving yourself with just two Rats in hand, you don't trash anything at all.

Much better is 2x Upgrades, 1 Fortress, and either a Watchtower or empty deck.  ;)

You can also empty loads of piles in one turn with Hop/Mandarin/Cultist/Watchtower combo.

Upgrade-Fortress is a nice one.

Wow, you could gain all the remaining Upgrades in one turn.  Each Upgrade played would pull the last one gained into your hand.  Then you could Upgrade Upgrades into Gold, or perhaps into Grand Markets...
