let's discuss guilds cards: herald

brrrr br br brrrrrrrrr
  this is one of the best top-of-deck-revealers in dominion, and is also decent if you want to play a bunch of actions. at some point it floated up to the top of our strengtholist, joining the ranks of those like Magpipes and Ree Mack. this is most likely because the new online dominion implementation automatically executes trivial decisions, thus ensuring that a deck of heralds and golems can play itself without needing input.


-how often do you use the bottom part? how often do you forget the bottom part?
-isn't it weird when herald is both the only village and the only draw
-what sorts of payload get the most scrudged up by sometimes playing them out of order?

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

Is it unusual that I noticed the usage of capital letters?

I like Herald. It can be really good, and it's really fun when it works and you draw and play a bunch of cards. The bottom part can be super clutch, too.

The bottom part just exists so that people think the top part is weak enough to need a buff. Or it's a cute bonus when you are buying Herald for $5. I've never decided to get a Herald I didn't otherwise want because of its overpay. I guess I've used a $5/$6 hand on Herald instead of a different good card so I could get another swing out of Mountebank / Cultist / etc that shuffle.

Even in a Big Money deck, overpaying for Herald can set up a Province hand just by putting Gold/Silver on top. This can be particularly useful when you have a lead and your opponent has limited buys, making it hard for them to catch up on Duchies.

Man, I hate how the T and the Y overlap with the border at the bottom.
