5/2 is Upgrade-CSM for me, 4/3 is Ironworks-CSM. Not getting a SP until turn 6 or 7 isn't the end of the world, and either of those two openings should get you a pretty decent action density quickly. And since provinces aren't important, you have a little more time.

« on: March 06, 2014, 11:57:09 am »I agree that it's the fourth best (Squire is better than CM, though), but it's not at all weak.Pawn not being in the bottom 10 is ridiculous. It is really bad. Really bad.
You're wrong about Pawn. Non-terminal +buy is good. Most engines need +buy, and many don't have a lot of terminal actions to spare. And the fact that you can just cycle it if you don't need the buy this turn makes it low risk, high reward. It's only borderline top 10, but it's definitely not "really bad".
Pawn is IMO the fourth best (potential) non-terminal +buy of the $2 cards, WAY after hamlet and candlestick maker, and after squire (yes it can't be +buy and non-terminal, but bleh). +Buy isn't as rare as it was in intrigue. +1 action / +1 buy is weak. If that's the best use of a card, count me out.
Sorry for the triple post, but in terms of a nonterminal buy I think CM is better than squire, just because you need 2 squires to get the nonterminal buy. Overall card strength, Squire may be better.

« on: March 06, 2014, 11:55:46 am »+1 Card / +1 coin still isn't good. I'd argue that effect is worse than Duchess or Moat's +2 bonus, and those are considered two of the worst $2's and they have other attractions (defense / free with duchy+spying).But it does other things. Don't forget about the +1 card/+1coin option. That one is pretty good when it works out. And it can turn that +action into coin or draw if you want the buy and don't need the extra action.Pawn not being in the bottom 10 is ridiculous. It is really bad. Really bad.

It's just a nice card all around.
So yes, I know it's flexible, but putting together a bunch of options that are all between awful and situationally weak, does not make a strong card. Pawn is alright to pick up on exactly $2 if there aren't any other $2's, but that's about all it's got going for it.

Embargo is definitely better than 14th. It is one of the few 2's that actually effects the overall strategy of the game (along with Chapel, Fool's Gold and maaayyybee lighthouse). Anyway, should be top 10.
maybe lighthouse?
Lighthouse 100% effects the overall strategy if there is a strong attack on the board. But not if there isn't one. So it's conditional (although stronger) kind of like Embargo.

Game Reports / Re: Feodum/Chapel opening
« on: December 26, 2013, 12:43:34 am »
They both fell to turn 5. I think ideally you won't collide Feodum and Chapel turn 3/4, but rather get to Chapel away 4 cards. Then ideally like turn 5/6 you collide and trash 4 cards and end up turn 6/7 with good economy and minimal junk. Because if you collide Feodum and Chapel in your first trashing, your deck becomes good enough that you probably won't be able to trash >2 cards with your Chapel and you'll be pretty meh.

I like "Each other player may put their deck into their discard pile."
And if that's not enough, also "If they do, they may look through their discard pile and put a card on top of their deck."

« on: December 22, 2013, 11:06:44 am »Similar question whose answer is probably a combination of the all the answers to the last question... what is the most number of cards you can gain from a single buy?let's see... 4 player game, play 10 hagglers, 9 talismans, buy a doctor (gain the other 9) with 30 embargoes on it, gaining 10 of a 2 cost. Overpay by 22, discard 12 tunnels, trash 10 catacombs, gaining 10 death carts and 20 ruins, discard 10 market squares.
kingdom: haggler, talisman, doctor, black market, tunnel, catacombs, death cart, two-cost, market square.
black market deck: young witch, embargo, graverobber, bunch of cards to let you draw and play all that.
+10 doctors, +30 curses, + 10 two-costs, +12 gold, -10 catacombs, +10 death carts, +20 ruins, +10 gold. net +92 cards.
probably improvable... for instance, trashing cultist to draw 3 market squares?
Certainly improvable by trashing 12 feoda.

Put your deck into your discard pile. Look through your discard pile and put two cards from it into your hand.
Way too good. This is almost certainly (at worst) terminal +$4, with amazing cycling. Most likely, it is even better than that.
