It self synergizes by creating higher action density leting you have better targets to disciple.1)Champion - Unlimited actions is really really good lighthouse effect is good against warrior and other effects.
2)Teacher - Works well with non terminal draw to make it draw more and terminal draw to make it non terminal
3)Disciple - Really good gainer self synergizes
4)Warrior - Really powerful attack without the need of other support than other travellers
5)Fugitive - Really helps you get disciple and teacher
6)Soldier - seems pretty lack luster without attacks like margrave or scrying pool
7)Hero - Gold gainers are ok I guess
8)Treasure Hunter - Man, silvers suck in a engine
How does Disciple self-synergize? It's actually an anti-synergy, as you can't gain Traveller upgrades.
1)Traveling fair - Game descends into counting house madness
2)Dungeon - Cycle to find your Counting house or discard coppers to redraw later
3)Treasure trove - this in slog or as part of a engine can be really effective
4)Messenger - (in a non-mirror engine)send coppers around, buy coppers, discard deck before playing Counting House
5)Scouting party - Cycle to find counting house and/or engine components for your counting house engine
5)Guide - Cycle coppers, find key engine components to set up mega counting house power
saboteur, i mean, it's a bad card, but it can buy you time to build an engine or grind an opponent out of the game when there's king's court out. certainly better than tribute, which is just awful.In engine mirrors with limited villages tribute is pretty good (aka olny village is crossroads/necro)Also against a grand market+non terminal draw deck.
Can someone explain venture to me? I find more strategic uses for most of the cards on here.I think that venture is completely overrated it is generally worth ~2.5$ if there is trashing this goes up but then again trashing helps engines a lot more than venture

It is better than harvest, stash, sab. to name a few. Any card that can potentially draw a lot of cards should not be on last place.
- ActionFor the coppersmith strategy I meant a megaturn strategy.Draw engine with coppersmith as payload, or native village/ coppersmith with herbalist as + buy.
I don't see that. The problem for the engine is that the villages don't draw, so you only increase your handsize by 1 after playing a village and a Nobles.
For Coppersmith you need a reliable deck, good villages or really big draw. So treasures seem the way to go, getting a Mint to get thin and later to mint Gold sounds better than Coppersmith to me, here. Also, Counterfeit is just much better so you don't need Herbalists.
But still, BM-Vault is really good (Counterfeit helps as well) and will do its thing.

Farming Village is Village + small cycling effect.Adam putting port below farming village makes me sad.Code: [Select]18.) Farming Village [X]
20.) Port [X]
I try not to look too much into the really small deviations. The new interface for making lists is really good but it results in a little less precision than a good old-fashioned bucket sort.
Do I think Port is better than Farming Village? Yeah I think I do, and I think it's really close too. There are a lot of little details I would change about my list if I went back and took a close look at it, and a couple of big ones (Quarry and Magpie, anyone?).
But I think we get the big idea from this, and that's the point. The top three $3 cards are Amb, Masq, and Urchin. If you ever see more than one of them on a board then you're not going to this list to decide which one to open, this will just help people realize that those three cards are super-powerful.
For the record, I believe Wandering Minstrel is an order of magnitude better than any other $4 village. Herald doesn't count on that list, but that's because Herald doesn't quite fit the definition I'm looking for here (+1 Card/+2 Actions plus effect). Herald is about as good as WM. Hey look at that I put them right next to each other on my list! Wooo!

Have you played many games with port?Port is amazing! Two villages for the cost of one is really really good.True, but you only get the benefit on buy. Port anti-synergizes with gainers. I think Port is where it belongs: right next to Worker's Village.

Rats improves apprentice/market square a lot, that said I think that the vineyard rush is best.Apprentice market square is incredibly quick at draining provinces.I'd also go for the Vineyards crazyness. Open Market Square/Armory, get one Potion ASAP, and Rats and then more Potions, and aggressively buy out the Vineyards. If I lose the Vineyard split, I've lost here, I think. Then, I'll concentrate on exploding my deck/ending the game, which is really easy here and is the strategically interesting part (in case of evenly split vineyards). I think the fastest way to grow is to buy a few Scrying Pools, Market squares and Rat them Treasures. Problem is this empties only the Rats pile, so I'll have to WM/Armory anyway to end it. I might want to skip the other Market squares and go directly to the WM/Armory/SP engine then.
But I have played very little Dark ages against humans so I'm kind of very unexperienced.
Here engine is much better as you could delay getting vineyards, So open market square armory and gain first rats then potion. Then quickly trash starting hand, get golds for market squares and two potions for as many scrying pools as possible before greening. I would wait with vineyards until I could triple or quad vineyard for two turn to win split unless opponent reliably double-vineyards or could triple-vineyard. For example game I emptied vineyards that in turns 11-12 and ended with 20 point ones.

You have to be able to get enough high point vineyards before the apprentice player finishes the game off.
The engine is probably better but it is pretty close.
That isn't problem, in few games vs bots when I pulled megaturn it was like 4 ten point vineyards in turn 10, So engine is much better unless there is severe bad luck like minstrels skipping potion lot of times.
Trader's good against Mountebank--instead of getting two junk cards, you're getting Silvers. Plus, Trader improves your economy in the early game to make it easier to get Mountebanks in the first place.Trader doesn't help early game economy. It helps late game endurance. If you want to get mountebank asap you should open double silver.
