Shouldn't there be some discussion of butcher with other trashing? Butcher with moneylender/spice merchant looks strong, but how do you approach it? That kind of thing...
If you have a 4/3 opening, buy Moneylender/Spice Merchant first. If you have a 5/2 opening, buy Butcher first. Later use Butcher to trash the Copper-trasher. This ain't rocket science!
Maybe not, but when I read this post I went, "hey, that's a pretty good idea!"
Good article, and good discussion on all sides. Also, holy cow, it hadn't registered how old Guilds is. It still feels "new" to me.
