« on: April 10, 2014, 04:17:10 am »Maybe you won't shuffle often, but the game also takes much longer. And producing $2 is pretty common for $5 Treasures.That's why $5 Treasures are bad.

Why would it be the worst? It's a balanced card that only suffers because 5 cost treasures are unpopular. Stash has perfectly good utility in slogs for lining up one good hand after each shuffle.

Can someone explain why Stash isn't worst? Counting House, Cache and Harvest at least have some utility in slogs and Contraband is often excellent in engines with trash-for-benefit, but Stash is very much just an expensive Silver. Yes, it has the Chancellor and Scavenger combos, but those are very rare and not a reason to put it higher than those 4 or any other $5 cards.

I got a lucky 5-2 split on a cultist board which was a big deal. My first cultist did miss the first reshuffle, but still, that was a big help towards getting more cultists and fewer ruins. 1.5-0.5

This is really the dream board for them. Silk Road also had some support, but when I saw you opening with Bureaucrat I bought Embargo to prevent going for them. My other opening card should have been Smugglers instead of Bureaucrat. Your Smugglers ended up being a tad luckier than mine which sealed the game.
Very interesting kingdom, I'd like to hear from f.ds about this. I wasn't sure whether to go for silk road or provinces near the beginning, because while a silk road rush looks faster, there's embargo, and he opened with it. In the end we both went for provinces. Because silk road was double embargoed. I got a lucky smuggle off his first gold, and in general I think my having two smugglers to his one really helped. I won, but I'm not sure exactly why... also, my potion buy near the end was really silly. I wanted a transmute for duchies, but that was way too slow. 2.5-1.5

Sea Hags are also nice Farmland targets. The plan failed though because only 1 Sea Hag play was successful and I had to buy a couple IGGs to save myself from total debacle.
Another lucky 5-2 split for me with IGG, and there was also moat which really hurt his sea hag, which I think only hit me once. I won the curse split 7-3, and the slowly piledrived the duchies for the win. I made a few mistakes, but the beginning carried me anyway. 3.5-1.5

Thanks for the games!You too.
I'm starting to get a bit depressed about my failure in this tournament - I am currently #63 on Isotropish leaderboard and still have managed to lose all three matches I've played. Well, at least the only way is up.

I think Wishing Well is terrible. It almost never draws anything except Copper and maybe something better at the end of the shuffle. Yes, it's a cantrip but does being not harmful mean the card is good (scout)?

Sage is a bit like Feast. It's useful but it provides only a small benefit. Usually Silver is better.
I really think that Wishing Well and Develop should swap places.

I think cantrips are generally overrated. Their bonuses are just too small. Pearl Diver, Haven, Pawn and especially Hamlet are too high in this list IMO.

While being good for the engine, Border Village can also be used as a decent defence against Saboteur. That's why I chose the Duke strategy.

This was a really interesting and fun Duke mirror. There were several cards to support Duke - Duchess, Hoard and Border Village. I had a 5/2 opening and really didn't know what to do with it. Then I realized that buying a Duchy would give me a Duchess, so I opened Duchy, for the first time in my life.
My opponent (Rabid) tried to counter with Saboteurs which ended up not doing much (primarily trashing my Silvers). I didn't actually notice Saboteur at first and I was quite worried when he bought them. I wonder if I should have opened Saboteur/Duchess instead of Duchy.
I won the Duchy split 5/3 (probably because the Sabs were slowing him down) and he only manages to trash 1 Duchy and 1 Duke from me. I have the lead and buy the last Duchesses for the win.
I don't know why I won this. Was it luck, or was my opening better, or did I do tactically better decisions? Would another strategy have been better? I thought opening Doctor and going for engine for a while but then I got my super amazing idea of opening Duchy.
What could I have done better?

« on: February 25, 2014, 02:41:28 am »Oh, I forgot that. I just can't resist looking for opportunities to use weak cards.I think Chancellor might actually have been a good a opening here.
Not for what I was doing. Venture can't hit Chancellor, and I want to get rid of my copper as fast as possible, then buy a Masterpiece with a big overpay. Chancellor doesn't help with that. If you look I actually only played my Market Square 2 or 3 times, so 2-3 Chancellor plays really isn't going to make as much difference as a Silver that will make my Ventures stronger.

« on: February 18, 2014, 01:48:34 am »
Also, the main function of Mandarin is quite weak to be worth $5. I'd say it's something like ~$4 instead. So you could think of Mandarin openings as 4/5/2 instead of 5/5/2.

This would combo really well with certain Attack cards such as Spy or especially Thief. That might be slightly too powerful (consider a 6-player game, play Prospector and gain Platinum in hand, then play Thief and gain 5 more Platina), but I like the general idea a lot.

Worth $3.
When you discard this from play, you may spend an Action to put it on top of your deck.
Not an identical effect, but close enough in most cases.
This has an interesting combo with Walled Village btw. A hand of 3 Diamonds and 2 WVs guarantees a Province each turn. Even a Colony each turn is possible I think.
