Necromancer + Death Cart is good, as you'd expect I guess.

Dominion: Nocturne Previews / Re: Previews #4: Werewolf, Skulk, Cursed Village
« on: October 26, 2017, 06:56:18 pm »
I played a few games with Cursed Village and Skulk today where I was able to consistently play 3-4 Skulks per turn. I might rather have had 4 Monuments but unlike all the other $4 attacks it continues to hurt with repeated plays and doesn't stop when the curses run out.
Overall I don't know if I'm going to come around to the swinginess of the Hexes, especially since it seems that you could get a major benefit by tracking the deck for Leprechaun and Cursed Village. I have a hard enough time tracking my own deck, y'know?

I wonder how long it'll take someone to need to Wish for a Curse.

Salvager + Dominate
Dominate can be difficult to achieve if there isn't a decent engine available, but salvaging Provinces to Dominate is possible even in a money deck, in which case keeping the VP virtual is even more valuable. With the addition of some stronger trashing a golden deck that earns 9 VP/turn should be fairly easy to set up.

I don't think Bob can win or draw in this scenario if Alice buys gold T1 and T2 and then 3 Provinces. At that point Alice is certain that the game will end on her turn unless Bob is willing to lose the Province split 6-2, and if she ties the Provinces 4-4 she has enough economy to buy 3 Duchies with her Province T4 (vs. the 4 Provinces and 1 Duchy Bob can have at the end of T3).

Death Cart + City Quarter + Travelling Fair
Death Cart plus either of the other two is probably pretty good, but guaranteeing a hand of DC + Ruin + CQ is even better. Unfortunately my opponent chose to play Transmute-only so I couldn't be sure of how strong it was outside of a vacuum.

« on: October 03, 2017, 08:08:26 pm »My guess is that boons and hexes are simply card names, just like spoils. Fate and doom cards are probably card types, like the looters.
I was thinking that Fate and Doom might be card-shaped object types instead -- maybe they're like Landmarks, but give out something good/bad based on some condition.

« on: September 25, 2017, 09:45:03 pm »I Inherited Treasure Maps, then thought I could fix the problem by buying a few real ones and trashing one with an Estate.
I mean, if it's the only way to trash Estates, maybe it's worth it
True, if I had cut my losses and trashed the Estates the game would probably still have been competitive. In fairness I can't think of another situation where Treasure Map saying "if you trashed two Treasure Maps" rather than "if you did" matters in gameplay terms.
