I guess you can now draw cards in buy phase? Buy Cultist, and trash it with Watchtower? That's wierd. Not that you get any use of it, you can't play more treasure...
Ruined Thief - Each other player puts their deck in their discard. They then go through their discard, and trash any and all Treasures they like.
Well there's a difference. Ignore KC, TR, conspirator, HoP, peddler, etc. Then there's no reason to play the +action. There's no detriment.Ok, so the Ruined Lab variant is obvious: +1 Card
And, the ruined terminal Silver (no idea which one he'll pick) is going to be +$1.
The interesting question is: will the Ruined Village be +2 Actions or just +1 Action? I'm guessing +2 because outside of some Conspirator niche cases, an action that does nothing has no redeeming quality.
+1 card has no redeeming qualities, either.
Sometimes, however, you do want to play the +1 card.
Ruined Chancellor: You may put your hand into the discard pile.What could the weird one be?
Ruined Monument - +.1 VP
Ruined Gardens - Worth one VP for every 30 cards in your deck.
Ruined Golem - Play one action from your deck
Ruined Library - Draw up to five cards in hand
Ruined Militia - Opponent discards down to five cards in hand
Ruined Pawn - Choose 1: +1 Buy
Ruined Island - 1 VP. You may set this aside with another card, but they will NOT be returned to your deck at the end of the game.
This game deserves its own thread, with a prize for the right guess.
Each other player reveals cards from hand until they reveal a Province, a Duchy or an Estate.
They trash the card and gain Ruined version of the card.
This was my first guess too but is it confirmed? We havent seen the "costing $X to $Y" notation before. I don't think it's quite out of the question to interpret it as shorthand for "Costing at least X and no more than Y, in coins."
Dominion cards are ridiculously precise in their language. I think if Donald wanted it to mean 'in coins' he would have written in coins.
Except that's not how it's worded.
I guess I cannot read.... I saw the words and re-shuffled them in my head until it said what I wanted it to.
Nevertheless, in a real game, it is likely that the opponent would not catch onto the whole Venture thing until it's too late to for the opponent to embargo the Ventures for any good.thing. Decks in which one card is crucial to a strategy are exactly those which are most vulnerable to embargo, and it's usually not too hard to pick up on when an opponent is going for such a deck.
KC-Highway only reduces costs by 1.
That's legit. Now that Donald has said that Dark Ages is his favorite set, I'm even more hyped, if possible.
Now if you want to feel good about yourself...
Isotropic has a total of 8055 players.
Only 5337 of them are level 1 or above (and most of these 0s have dozens of games). That means a level 1 is better than 33% of players.
4034 are level 6 or above. That means if you are level 6, you are technically average.
2024 are level 15 or above. That means they are in the top 25% of dominion players.
1232 are at 20 or above. That's the top 15% or so.
682 at 25 or above. They're in the top 10%
331 at 30. That's the top 5%
155 at 35. That's the top 2%
44 at 40. That's the top 0.5%
Now there's no reason to quit improving, but I wouldn't consider 20 to be bad by any means.
The TF2 analogy is a little tortured.
