I will go so far as to say without Feodum on the board, this is overall the weakest event.

Scouting Party is worse.

It's not worse. I've played with it. It's good in the right circumstances.

Aren't you the Scout fanatic anyways?
I've played with it to.

Copper is good in the right circumstances. So is Curse or any of the Ruins.

I've never ever managed to make a silver flood strategy work. That would be an interesting topic for an article. *hint hint*

I was able to successfully pull off a silver flood strategy with raid earlier today against Stef.  I will try to remember to pull up the log tomorrow when it comes online.

preview: basically, you need nothing else to be going on with that board

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

Is it really worse than Quest? I'm not so sure. This one definitely has some uses, and the attack on top is pretty neat if you want the silvers.

Quest is semi-useful for those games where a junker collides.

Pro tip: Don't buy this if you have silvers in your hand.

So yeah. This is the game I was talking about. No engines. A couple distracting cards.

What sold me on the strategy was 1)young witch is great to cycle to have those 4 silvers in your hand. Doctor thins or quickly, allowing your deck to be almost all silver.

Yeah, the bridge troll attack affected me a few times, and maybe stef could have built a little better off a deck to play his attacks more frequently, but I had 9 silvers and my first province by turn 9, and was able to keep greening consistently.

Nice game. Did you run into Stef or was that a league match?

Auto match does work occasionally

Isn't Watchtower better for this? It still draws 2 (more if you get hit with Raid), and you don't have to discard.

Silver floods are good at countering junk.  So, if you're playing with junkers without trashers.  Or if you're going for alt-vp, or duchies.  Storyteller and Feodum are special cases because those are just two cards after all.

As far as silver gainers go, Raid feels weak to me.  Early on, it just doesn't get you many silvers.  Later on, it feels like duchy > raid, because aren't you supposed to green early in a silver flood strategy?

Cards that let's you draw more silvers into your hand synergies with this. It also slows other players down which is pretty good. Yet another way to add payload quickly to your deck after building your draw deck engine.
