Dominion General Discussion / Re: Plunder Card Power Levels First Impressions

« on: January 18, 2023, 08:03:15 pm »

Drawing next turn instead of this turn is a significant upside.

I agree.  Starting a hand with 6 gives so many more options and often I find myself trashing the drawn card. 

It is interesting that you rated Silver Mine higher than anyone, as 7 was it's max rating.  I personally the SM is kind of blah and probably should only cost 4, though on some boards with good alt treasures it works well. I mean it's a silver usually for 5?  That said in games with unusual treasures that excel with many treasures (HOP, bank, pendant) I think it could play well.

I was surprised to see Pendant marked so low.

Trickster and any loot is a great combo. But with Prize Goat is an especially amazing combo.  dish a curse and then keep the prize goat as a gold that just lies in wait to eat the curses that they dished you.

I enjoy the Android app and the bot is actually interesting to play against. It's a battery hog though.

Yeah, I've actually started playing more against real people just because it's easier on my phone. The AI eats up the battery and heats up the phone like nothing else.

Interesting.  I hadn't noticed this on Iphone.  Maybe I'll play a few and see if it heats up too.

Yes, I believe it is still in beta and only on Android, but there is the Dominion app by Temple Gates Games (TGG).

Link to US version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.templegatesgames.DominionAndroid&hl=en_US&gl=US

It's on Apple/IOS too

Nobody expects the piazza-tireless-lookout Cathedral

I am confused here. Is this good?  And how does cathedral play in here?

I will most likely never see this combination again, but it was serendipitous to see it happen. You can't really plan and strategize for it.

There was Kings Court, Tournament, and Swindler in the kingdom.

I had gotten Princess as one of the prizes.

My hand had KC, KC, Princess, Swindler, copper.

Played KC, KC, Princess reducing the price of cards by 6, then Swindler and was able to trash 3 cards from my opponents turning them all into curses.
Would have been even crazier if I had an action with +$. I was able to buy 3 provinces and a duchy.

must've had some villagers/barracks too.  Would've been neat to trash provinces to curses.

I opened double Masterpiece (it was pious).

Wait.... your deck then contains:

Estate, Copper x 9, Silver? That seems very slightly better than opening Silver / nothing.

depending on the board (plateau shepherds, rebuild, governor with good 4 costs cards) it is possible he kept an estate over a copper too.
But I agree with you, unless there was some 5-cost TFB like maybe upgrade/replace/apprentice this doesn't seem like a very good idea to me either. I guess it's kinda like a buy-less ducat, only you can trash estates too. Though absent maybe keep/bandit fort I still couldn't see doing that even.

I personally didn't rate the traits because I couldn't think of a super consistent way in my mind to do it. A similar thing with Allies. The poll states that you can pick and choose what you rate and what you don't (I didn't rate Tournament and Black Market because they've been on my banlist since I started playing so I don't have enough experience with the cards).

But there's no harm in putting them on the poll, letting people select a number, and putting those numbers in my spreadsheet. I don't intend to make any comments or conclusions from those numbers, but some people will be happy that those numbers are there so I put them in the poll.

I basically went with how excited or non-plussed do I feel when I see the trait on the board.

One thing I was surprised to see a few games back was that you can also have 2 traits in the same game.  Not sure if or how this would affect voting, but I found it interesting.

Pendant/Any Loot has an alright synergy.   

I think the most I have gotten was an 8-coin pendant.  I can only imagine how big this would get if you had storyteller in the kingdom.

Got a turn 1 Province with Inherited Animal Fair

Was that the right move? Dunno the Kingdom, but feels wrong to me...

Probably not, tbh, but I couldn't resist. Though, in the end I only lost by something like 2 or 3 points, so it didn't hurt that much

. Yeah.  But all things being equal it's kinda just like playing a normal game with an estate in your deck anyway, but Gold (or another Animal Fair really) probably was the optimal play.

That said I probably buy the provy to just to do it.

Rating traits on a power rating seems kind of useless, since they re so card dependent

To add to the debate, there’s also the fact that Treasures have historically been, well, Treasure. They were generally precious metals, gems, jewelry, or other generally valuable items or money-alternatives. Cage and Gondola are a bit of a stretch in my mind for that reason, but then I thought about it more and Quarry has been around forever and doesn’t really meet the definition above either.

many quarries produce both metal ores and mineral treasures or gems.

Shaman + Cabin Boy is a great combo. If you resolve Cabin Boy's duration before Shaman, you can trash Cabin Boy for another Duration card then immediately get it back via Shaman - also saving you from having to gain any junk that might be in the trash

Transmog shaman does this too.

Landing Party/Reap. Why yes, I will topdeck all my Landing Parties thanks to this Gold I'm playing in start-of-turn.

Crown is similarly good here

Sycophant with Crafters' Guild as the Ally basically lets you get any $4 card on top of your deck for only $2. Granted, it comes with a Sycophant, which is often junk, but if you can trash it, you can get another $4 card on top of your deck, this time for free.

just add watchtower

I think it's funny how oxymorons can be created from the Traits. Pious Villain, Nearby Distant Lands.

I'm not sure what the closest thing to the opposite of "Fated" would be...

It depends on which meaning of "fated" you use.  This page has a pretty exhaustive list

Guys, it’s not confusing.

How often does anyone walk into a room and shout “I love Menagerie” with no context? Does anyone say “Menagerie is my favorite!” with no introduction? Don’t we usually say “Menagerie is my favorite card!” or “Menagerie is my favorite expansion!”

When someone asks “What expansion should I get next?” and someone says “Plunder,” does anyone seriously think the person is suggesting someone go out and individually order a single stack of cards when the OP asked for expansion ideas? When someone says “I used Plunder to win a game the other day,” does it make sense to think they used an entire expansion to win a single game?

It's not just humans.  The FDS extension bot gets confused too

Shaman is really annoying.  That said Enlarge is a nice complement to it.  Trash a good card with enlarge before you gain your card, and then you avoid having to grab from the conveyor belt of garbage that is the Shaman train and get a nice +2 card to boot. Plus then your opponent has to take the crap you were avoiding.

best not to use your Bandit on the 5/2 open when jewelled egg is on the board.  I think I ended up getting like 7 loots because my opponent did this.  applies to other trashers to like Barbarian too.

was able to hit 32 w/ 12 buys on t 13 b4 they resigned (remake was also present which sped it up even more)

Devils Workshop and Cavalry.  Cavalry don't ride at night.  Only in buy phase.

salvager/trail.  trashing a trail only causes it to be played, and you get a buy from salvaged, but you don't get the 4 coins you were expecting for salvaging trail. Though TBH I'm not sure why you don't get the coins?

Salvaging a Trail definitely gets you 4 coins.

Then it was a glitch. Because me and the other player were discussing it because we didn't get the coins for some reason.  However, the 2 of us played so many games I could never remember which one it was.  It happened to both of us on 2 different turns too.

Was it by any chance game 108054093 against dominationnation on 16-Sep-2022, in which you were the only player who bought Salvager, only trashed a Trail with it once (on your turn 7), and did in fact get +$4?

Is this the DSF version of getting doxxed?   
Does it have the chat text too? Because if so we both somehow got that wrong...

Applies equally to Village Green + Way of the Mole (just that people normally use VG as a normal village component)

It works with Weaver too, although it's arguably not as good since it doesn't draw cards when played without the Mole.

weaver also reacts to scavenger, which I found weird because I am pretty sure that other discard cards like tunnel don't react to Scavenger.
