Not sure how I have lived without this all my life. Really neat! Thanks for doing this. Everyone who posts here should have this...
So when are we getting previews?
Devils Workshop and Cavalry. Cavalry don't ride at night. Only in buy phase.Salvaging a Trail definitely gets you 4 coins.
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?
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?
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.

With Souk/Gamble I had $22 and 7 buys on turn 6, bought two provinces and opponent resigned
But hill ford works well with capitalism, if you gain a action, that give you +$ and you have capitalism, you don't need an action to play it, so you can put it in your hand, and you can play it that turn, without needing a Village.
But you don't have anything to draw at that point. All of your cards are in your hand, so you trash/play a Trail and draw 0 cards from your empty deck/discard. You'll still get the extra action of course.
This one is really OP. But New Donate and Trail is off the chain. Because under the new donate you trash all the cards at the start of your turn, so load up on trails and buy a bunch of engine parts, then trash all the trails for a pre-turn Lab a piece. Just bonkers, especially on boards that lack +draw and actions. Then use one of the buys to buy donate at the end of your turn to rinse and repeat.
Wouldn't the draw happen during the middle of Donate, so you'd have an empty deck at that point?
Not sure if defensive combos count here, but Horse traders is a great counter to archer. The reaction makes you have 4 cards in hand ergo it nullifies the Archer attack. Also is helpful against the warrior, but really shines vs the annoying AF archer.
Isn't that just the entire point of the Horse Traders reaction? To defend against handsize attacks? Or is there something about Archer I'm missing?
I think he just means Horse Traders is specifically well-suited to combatting Archer
Contrast with Militia, where you still end up discarding a card. Horse Traders returns and draws you a card, so you have the opportunity to discard a bad card and draw a good one, but you might have already had all your good cards in hand and then draw a Copper. Against Archer, Horse Traders negates the attack entirely and draws you a card on your turn, putting you in strictly a better position than you would have been without Archer being played.
That part also holds true for Soldier, Urchin, and Clerk. It is even better with Archer than those, though, as Archer isn't just a discard-one - discard one isn't usually too bad because you can typically discard something of low value (in a game with no trashing, very likely to be a Copper or Estate, but even in a game with strong trashing, there'll be a least-good card that you can choose)

kinda. Complete attack nullification only applies to handsize attacks that say "players with 5 cards in hand" as some still make you discard to 3 anyway (though you do get the horse trader back) and just pointing out that Archer is one of those cuz it's new. Same thing would apply to Pillage for example.Not sure if defensive combos count here, but Horse traders is a great counter to archer.

It seems odd to me when these expansions are also named after cards from other sets.
That said stoked for this.
If it makes you feel better, this has been happening in other languages for years. "Cornucopia" means "horn of plenty", so in some languages those were the same word. Likewise "Venture" and "Adventures".
I would love to be able to play a card called “Bitter Goldfish”. That would be hilarious.
It's a shame that you have to wait until Dominion: Encampment is out of stock until you buy this. Isn't that seriously limiting the market for this? Especially because people who run into financial difficulties are required to return their copies of Encampment. Seems like a rip off to me.
