Best Dominion Expansion Bracket
« on: April 12, 2016, 07:20:26 pm »

This is a new bracket for the best Dominion expansion. I seeded them based on my favorites. I've also added a poll, because I love polls. I will leave each bracket round open for 2 full days.

1. Cornucopia
12. Dominion

2. Dark Ages
11. Guilds

3. Prosperity
10. Intrigue

4. Seaside
9. Promo

5. Adventures
8. Alchemy

6. Hinterlands
7. Empires (I'm guessing it ranked here)

1. Cornucopia

11. Guilds - This is the toughest matchup for me.  Dark Ages has a lot of neat cards, but a few too many overpowered/singularly strong cards, and I like the overall balance of Guilds' cards.  Plus coin tokens are a great time.

3. Prosperity

4. Seaside

5. Adventures - I feel bad for Alchemy, it deserves more love, but it can't compete with the freshness of Adventures.

7. Empires - Why not?

I like Cornucopia/Dark Ages/Seaside a lot because they each introduce an interesting mechanic. Adventures went a little crazy adding mechanics (Tavern Mat, Events, +Card Tokens), so I'll give the nod to Alchemy

I believe a 12-entry bracket is supposed to be arranged like so:

      1________
 8_______|    |
 9___|        |____
      4_______|    |
 5_______|         |
12___|             |___
      3________    |
 6_______|    |____|
11___|        |
      2_______|
 7_______|
10___|

I probably would have made it a 10-entry bracket, excluding Empires and Promos. For the first two rounds, advance the highest scoring loser to the next round as well, but give it the lowest seed.

As it is:

1. Cornucopia
12. Dominion

2. Dark Ages
11. Guilds

3. Prosperity
10. Intrigue

4. Seaside
9. Promo

5. Adventures
8. Alchemy

6. Hinterlands
7. Empires

In order:

1. Prosperity
2. Adventures
3. Guilds
4. Dark Ages
5. Dominion (Base)
6. Hinterlands
7. Alchemy
8. Intrigue
9. Cornucopia
10. Seaside
(11. Promo)

I thought you thought it was a slip because I said 'Jake's partners' instead of 'Roadrunner7671.'

1. Cornucopia
12. Dominion - the one that started it all. I still hold many of Base cards as my favourites

2. Dark Ages - tough one. Dark Ages, just because it introduces so many awesome new concepts.
11. Guilds

3. Prosperity - my favourite expansion
10. Intrigue

4. Seaside - really? A full expansion vs 5-6 promo cards?
9. Promo

5. Adventures - I haven't played with Adventures, but Alchemy is by far my least favourite addition to Dominion
8. Alchemy

6. Hinterlands - HInterlands is awesome
7. Empires
