Scout By Any Other Name Sucks Just the Same

Code: [Select]
Oracle, Steward, Conspirator, Scout, Smithy, Young Witch, Band of Misfits, Council Room, Merchant Ship, Witch, Goons
Steward for trashing, fight the Curse war, move into Big Money Goons slog. Pretty obvious board, really.

My opponent keeps hitting $5, though, and heads for mass Band of Misfits. The problem? The only non-terminal card is... Scout. (And powered up Conspirators.) So the best my opponent can hope for here is drawing three BoMs, playing the first two as Scout, and the third as Conspirator.

As it turns out, this strategy is terrible. Despite losing the Curse war 7-3, I cruise to a pretty easy win.

Scout by any other name... is still Scout.

I have been forced to accept that lackluster play is a town tell for you.

His strategy is brilliant, because you're supposed to counter it by buying out the scouts yourself.
Then he would be totally stuck with his Band Of Misfits!

How rude of you to just ignore him.
