It's incredibly swingy. I could have a great turn, do all this stuff an get a nice shiny Wharf for my effort. Well, darn it, you Smuggled that Wharf and you get something else too. It's not that much of a fun card.

Borrow. You have got to be kidding me.

Why do you hate Borrow?

Borrow. You have got to be kidding me.

Borrow's art is awful. I agree.

The question is, is it worse than Harem?

[jamfamsam]

Is any art worse than Harem?

Another Smuggler-hater here.

My least favorite card is probably Doctor. (OK, I have six cards left in my deck: three Coppers, Estate and a Silver. So let's name Copper... ->> FUUUUUUUU!!! you know what happens)
But it has a nice use in a middle/late game sometimes, just for reordering, it's almost like a free Scout in your deck!!, very useful.

Btw, about Rebuild, is it just me or people nowadays play way less Rebuild mirrors than say a year ago?
Maybe we became more sophisticated at playing engines or maybe Rebuild was just a tiny bit overestimated initially.
Any opinions?

It was overestimated initially and it continues to be overestimated now.

Whoops. Counting is overrated

Counting is skippable 84-88% of the time

i'm with this, never bought into rebuild as the best $5.  at minimum, i'd say cultist & mountebank are clearly stronger (even though IIRC rebuild beats cultist stack in the head-to-head matchup?), and i also had wharf above it when i did the card rankings.

Rats. I know it is usually a bad card, and yet I much too often get sucked into "okay, on this board..." usually to find I'm wrong again.

However, I find nothing more satisfying in Dominion than winning with a Rats strategy.

I just won a game with Rats/Governor. Good times!

Rats into Gold into Province?

Well, it gets rid of Coppers and Estates, and you draw +1 every time you Remodel. It sounds fantastic and very very fast. Not to mention, every remodel by your opponent can be a quick trash for another Governor, drawing the card right back.

Yup!

Stables.  Whenever I try to use it, I always keep drawing a hand with treasure but no Stables followed by a hand with several Stables and no treasure (or vice versa).  And then in the next game when Stables look like a good idea, I tell myself that there's no such thing as an "unlucky card," that Stables shouldn't be that bad, and that my past experiences are just a statistical outlier (with maybe a bit of confirmation bias) and no predictor of how good Stables will be in the current game...only for it to happen again and make me lose.  So frustrating, especially since I know that it's really not a bad card, just one I tend to have bad experiences with.

I'd have to see how you're playing. That almost never happens to me. You might be overbuying Stables, for example.
