Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Dominion: Greed (beta)
« on: June 26, 2015, 06:29:36 am »What if next cards are released with "You must buy a X if possible" ? What if it conflicts ?The wording is very tough, especially when, as Co0kieL0rd notes, we're not 100% on the intended behaviour. I'm not convinced by any wording so far, particularly in the possible case of conflict, as you point out. How about this:
(assume there's another card X that costs $2 and grants you $3 and forces you to buy ; you play a village -> Usurer ($4) -> StoryTeller ($0) -> X ($3) : you'd have to buy an Usurer and a X for $3)
EDIT :
I suggest that :
"At the start of your buy phase, gain an Usurer" or "before you buy anything, spend 1 buy and $2. If you do, gain an Usurer", but it's pretty tough wording in fact...
By the way I don't see the difference between this and Woodcutter except that you've 1 more buy and it's complicated while Woodcutter is terrible, but simple ! (at least you can buy it for only $2 if you have $6 and several buys)
"At the end of your buy phase this turn, if you did not buy an Usurer, return all bought cards to the supply."
That's with Co0kieL0rd's interpretation of not allowing 5s if you collect exactly 5.
With my interpretation:
"If you have $6 at any point during your buy phase this turn, then at the end of your buy phase, if you did not buy an Usurer this turn, return all bought cards to the supply."
It's messy, but the only way I can think of to resolve both the conflict issue and the "Oh but I've spent all of my money, totally can't buy an Usurer" issue.
In the case of conflict, if you can't afford to buy both then you're screwed. But as far as I can see that's your own bloody fault.
Very good.
