Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Really bad card ideas
« on: March 21, 2019, 10:18:27 pm »Would upvote for being a decent idea but then I remembered what thread this was.
I think the reason it's an RBCI is that it encourages a fight over the Golds, and therefore favors big money strategies.
Could be wrong about that though.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Dominion current Popularity?
« on: March 21, 2019, 08:24:48 pm »I'm not saying it's a good game; I'm saying it's a successful game.
Although I do think there are times in which a game that isn't really much of a game is just what I need. Those moments aren't common; I'd usually much prefer to play an actual game. But they exist, and Exploding Kittens is one of the games that does a good job then.
We Didn't Playtest This At All is a good non-game for this that I found much more fun than Exploding Kittens.
Okay, true. Now that I think of it, there are multiple non-games that I would consider better than Exploding Kittens.
And We Didn't Playtest is strictly better.

Game Reports / Re: Is Mint - Fool's Gold actually that good?
« on: March 21, 2019, 09:49:32 am »If you open Fools Gold and Mint, then buy a trasher on T3, you're 50% likely to see that trasher on T4, compared with 83% likely to see it on T3/T4 if you open with that trasher and something else.
Given the head start of already having trashed five cards, that feels like a good tradeoff?
If either of your coppers or your Fool's Gold is in the last two cards of the shuffle, you can't get a T3 Hermit, because you only have $3 total in your deck. I don't think there is a high chance of being able to get a T3 Hermit, although I can't do the calculation because I'm not familiar enough with Bayes' theorem, which I'm pretty sure applies here since we know Hermit-FG didn't collide.
Also, it's not likely that there was a $2 trasher or pseudo-trasher in the kingdom because those aren't very common. (I'd say maybe 4 or 5 total from all the expansions?)

Ugh. If you want a completely stupid game based only on the fact that kittens are cute; but actually has substance and fun gameplay, play Tem-Purr-A.

Rules Questions / Re: Haggler with Multiple Buys
« on: March 20, 2019, 09:49:45 pm »
This is an example of what a Haggler-like effect which only works once looks like (from Empires):
Charm has a Haggler-like option which says, "the next time you buy a card this turn..."
So if Haggler meant that, it would say it.

Game Reports / Re: Is Mint - Fool's Gold actually that good?
« on: March 20, 2019, 09:41:47 pm »
Just providing some probabilities:
The chances that you don't collide Mint and Fool's Gold on turn 3 or 4, assuming you buy nothing turn 3, are
5/7*2/7*2*2/5 which is around 16.3%.
So that'll happen once every 6 or 7 times.
If you factor in the fact that if you get turn 3 FG you can guarantee to buy another FG, you can decrease the chance of a non-collision turn 4 because of the reshuffle, but I was too lazy to factor that in. If I did, it might go down to once every 7 or 8 times, but I don't know.
Also, this is just the chance for T3/T4.

Rules Questions / Re: BoM wording
« on: March 19, 2019, 04:14:10 pm »Ingix is right that it becomes the chosen card, then immediately reverts to BoM. But I think it really doesn't matter, since "immediately" means right after we trigger the on-play instructions and before we start resolving them. An Overlord in the trash will instantly revert to Overlord and be Overlord when we are resolving the on-play ability. So it will cost D8 no matter how we phrase it.
Corner case: Vanilla bonus tokens. I'm pretty sure you still get the bonus, but if it never was that card, you wouldn't.
Another corner case: Moat and other Reactions. I'm pretty sure the same thing applies. BoM isn't an Attack, but it briefly becomes one.
So I think it does actually matter, but I'm not sure about that.

Rules Questions / Re: Throne Room-Band of Misfits-Embargo and the lose track rule
« on: March 19, 2019, 09:22:39 am »MV doesn't try to put itself in play (its on-play effect doesn't mention the word play). However you're right that the same principle applies: MV can't trash itself because it's exepcting itself to be in play (though it's perhaps not the best example as even if it didn't lose track of itself it still couldn't trash itself because it's already in the trash).
Okay, only reason I've come across so far for why Renaissance makes the game more complex: staring at "MV" for way longer than should have been necessary while trying to figure out why Mountain Village factors into this discussion, because apparently I'm too tired to take context clues right now.

Rules Questions / Re: BoM wording
« on: March 18, 2019, 09:48:41 pm »Hmm. I think "until it leaves play" is intended to be read as "until it is no longer in play", so if it doesn't enter play, it ceases being the emulated card immediately rather than never ceasing being it.
Oh, that could make sense. It still plays itself "as if it were a cheaper Action card in the supply", but it just doesn't become that card. I still think the wording is ambiguous though.
548
Rules Questions / BoM wording
« on: March 18, 2019, 08:34:20 pm »
Okay, so Band of Misfits says "this is that card until it leaves play". Say you Throne a BoM and play it as Acting Troupe, trashing itself, then playing itself as Village. (Acting Troupe and Village are examples). After the second play, it's not in play to begin with, so it can't leave play. This means the BoM remains in the trash as a Village, until someone does something like gain it back with a Rogue then play it again (still as a Village) from their hand, thus letting it leave play at the end of their turn.
This doesn't seem like it is correct, because you could easily lose track (physically, not rules-wise) of which BoM is actually a Village, especially once you gain it back with Rogue, unless you put a sticker on it or something. But I can't find any official ruling that would prevent this.
