I believe there was some analysis done on this, and from 4th position I think people found it better to go for a moat defensive strategy than a cursing strategy with witch.
There you people go again, with your sound reasoning! haha
(yeah, we play quite a bit 4 player at home and not having a moat definately stings sometimes!)

Finally I got round to playing online!
I think I am holding a record whose category I just made up!
I am the highest placed player with the smallest number of games.
As in, no one is placed higher than me and played less games!
Level 11, 12 games.
i think if I had not lost one game I could have had a higher level than gamesplayed! Doh

« on: February 09, 2012, 08:43:24 am »Using Moat to block any non-curse giving attack? Silly. Using Moat to block a cursing attack? Well, let's analyze this:
Until I block the attack, it is a useless +2 cards. But after the first block, I have a +2 cards inestead of -1 VP! That is great! I wouldn't bought it with 3/4 split (I want a Silver to buy that Witch myself) but anytime I would have 2$ Moat is the right choice.
Moat can be also usefull when your opponent locks you with a powerful reapeating attack (Torturer, KC+Masquerade+Goons, ...) like it did for me in this game: http://councilroom.com/game?game_id=game-20120124-191101-2fadf9dd.html
I used to be a Moat hater like you...then I took an arrow to the knee...I mean then I tried to use it wisely and found out it is good...
How dare you counter my irrational hatred with your logic and reason!!
But you also seem to say that you only buy it when there is no other option at $2
I looked at that log and in my completely unexpert opinion, I think you would have won that game quicker if there was a better $2, or you opened 4/3.
But alas, you were forced into buying a terrible moat and got lucky with it. And the last 2 you bought I still cannot see the reason for, you were so far ahead I didnt think you would get much chance of playing them.
I think its just personally I prefer positive action and making my deck stronger rather than reacting to opponents deck.

I have gone moat.
Its a waste of a card and I think I have only ever bought it once.
Ithas to hit multiple times for it to have been of use, and even then it has less use than people think because its taking your hand down to 4 cards +moat.
The +2 cards is 'alright' but I wouldnt buy it just for that.
I think of it this way.
You buy a moat, if you never use it, you have wasted a buy
If you use it once then all you have done is nullify the attack part of the card. So you have used one buy and a card from hand to negate the attack part of his buy. If his card also does something else, such as draw or +couns then you are still down.
Multiple uses: unless moat is somehow part of your grand scheme, then everytime you draw it you might as well be playing with 4 card hands. Is that enough justification to buy one to counter the attacks? It would have to be a consistant attacking opponent for it to be worthwhile, and then you would only have it when you draw it so you would need to buy multiples for it to be effective.
I really do hate moat, almost as much as an irrational hatred of Woodcutter.
