I vote for Sir Cantrip. Whatever is on the board, he can fit in. A good reliable fellow.
Mystic seems pretty weak. +2$ is about the bare minimum I'd expect from a cost 5 card. Compared to Festival you're giving up a buy and an action for a chance at a card.
It's kind of like a Conspirator Plus. Instead of having to have played 2 actions, you have to know what the top card of your deck is. But if you don't know, you get the action back anyway.
It occurs to me that if you play two Mystics you'll get to draw one card at least.
It combos with Scout. So there's that.
Four Mystics and a Scout is an ideal hand. Well, it'll get you a Province, at least.
Sorry, by "this", I meant my comment, not your challenge.Yeah, this doesn't really go here, but I just noticed it and... is it sad that I recognize the golden ratio on sight below your avatar?
Well, I thought it was a challenge. This is the Puzzles and Challenges board, is it not?
And yes, that is the Golden ratio. I also know 155 digits of pi.
Since I looked and did not find such a topic, I made it.
What's everyone's favorite/least favorite Music genre/artist/song?
My personal favorite artist is Two Steps From Hell, they are just awesome. The genre is an awesome genre called Epic music, that is getting fairly popular. As for what I don't like, I absolutely despise Pop, Rap, Hip-Hop, Country Rock, and Dubstep. Everything else, I just tend not to listen to.
You might like the Pandora "Epic Soundtracks" radio. I listen to it when working or boardgaming.
"Pop, Rap, Hip-Hop, Country Rock, and Dubstep." That's a lot of music! I have the feeling you're wrapping a blanket around some of those, but I'm sure you have your reasons and I'm not here to judge. For the record, I also hate dubstep (it being one of the few genres I just don't understand). Even blanket genres I'm not warm to, like prog and metal, I've at least been able to find one group I can appreciate on some level. (Also, technically rap is just a non-genre that falls under hip-hop, but eh, it's semantics on the base level)
I use the website Rateyourmusic to help me find new stuff, and have for several years. It's probably slanted my perspectives, but I can't complain because I never really found anything I liked besides video game music before I went there.
I listen to lots of singer-songwriter/folk music, indie pop, video game music, Brazilian music, post-rock and post-punk era stuff. My favorite bands are Talking Heads, Godspeed You Black Emperor and Los Hermanos. My favorite solo artists are Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and Fiona Apple. I also like making lists of things and was tempted to just list 500 things, but I stopped myself.
My least favorite genres of music are pretentious [insert genre name here] metal, electronic music that sounds like it was made in FLStudio by amateurs, most dance music, stuff that plays in grocery stores, and hardcore gangsta hip-hop. I don't really have anything against most of those, they just audibly annoy me.
I knew I should have cost it at 4! The Monument comparison is a startling one. I'm considering this change:
Studio #2 (4)
Treasure - Victory
$1
1VP
When you play this, discard the top card of your deck. If its both of the following, choose one instead. Otherwise, if its a...
...Treasure card: +$1
...Victory card: +1VP
Violation
$5 Action - Attack - Reaction
+$2
Each player reveals cards from the top of their deck until they reveal a Policeman or Treasure. They trash that card and may gain a card costing at most $3 less than the trashed card.
_________________
When you trash this card, gain a Policeman. If you do not, put this card into your discard instead of the trash.
Policeman
$4 Action - Reaction
+$2
_________________
When you trash this card, gain a Violation. If you do not, gain a Treasure costing up to $6, putting in on your deck.

Thats nothing, I know a 1000 digits of pi! Just not the ones at the front
I know all the digits of pi! Just not necessarily in order.
Maybe Harlot would be more interesting if it gained silver when it was played, instead of the VP Boost? As in:
Harlot
$4 Treasure / Victory
$1
Worth 1 VP
When you play this, you may gain a Silver.
