Dominion General Discussion / Re: The Best Dominion Cards List 2012 Ed.2: $2 cards

Which is the point of buying it.  You're not looking to give them Curses, you want them to not take the Embargoed option because you don't want to play against it. 

I understand that. I just think that's pretty awful. You can force your opponent to not choose a certain strategy, which you can't do either.

Really the only time I buy it is when I only have $2 and I'm not worried about not being able to play it, or my opponent already started a strategy that lives and dies buy one certain card.

I'd make the case for workshop being the worst of the $3 cards. It's just really awful for everything except picking up cards for alt vp and maybe scooping up an island or two in a drawn out game.

In my experience workshop -> silk road is very beatable. I'd be interested in hearing what the emulators have to say about that.

A few nitpicks:

I'd put embargo in the bottom 3. Good players seem to notice it is there and refrain from going for Duke-Duchy, IGG, Governor rush etc.

My opinion of Herbalist is steadily becoming more favorable. It is passable a lot, but when it's usable it's usually a great value.

I'm also not to wild about crossroads. Pawn is better.

Wish I would have noticed this earlier.... Exciting stuff. I'm one of those bros who probably would think twice about putting chapel at number one... and then chicken out and put it there anyway. Courtyard is close IMO.
