Spoils cannot be used to pay your charioteer.  Looks like a gold, pays like a gold - must be a copper.

Well of course, if you could it would spoil the whole race.

Maybe half-way on topic, half-way OT, but on the two-card kingdom {Enchantress, Rebuild}, is Enchantress a counter to Rebuild?

Against a scripted Rebuild bot, yeah, I think so. But against someone who knows what's coming—I mean, if it's me playing Rebuild, I guess I pile up on Enchantresses. Feeding one to play my Rebuild seems great. Having Enchantress without Rebuild means I play it, making me that much more likely to pair Enchantress with Rebuild in my next hand (or just hit $5 for an extra Rebuild). With a bit of luck, my Enchantress can even shut their Enchantress down.

So the anti-synergy between your Enchantress and my Rebuild is maybe not as harmful as one would first think, which itself is harmful to you? Maybe?

I should probably go test that; this is pure speculation.

Cobbler/Cost Reduction, gainers usually work great with Cost Reduction, Cobbler unfortunately does not... (And luckily I discovered this againg Lord rat...)

Feel victim to this literally 5 minutes after reading this   Tried to set up a Native Village / Highway / Cobbler megaturn.

As it turns out, Vampires don't like Villas.

Watchtower - Villa

Me: Hmm, let's grab that Watchtower. Put down all the coins, buy Villa, play Villa, gain enough Action to re-stock my hand, sounds like a plan.

System: "It looks like you are going to gain a Villa. Do you want to topdeck or trash?"

If it's not letting you simply gain the Villa, that's bad... you should be able to simply not reveal the Watchtower.

In that case you can continue without using Watchtower by clicking "Villa" in the log next to the two Watchtower options. It's a pretty confusing interface. I've posted about this issue on ShuffleIT's forums (re: Death Cart), and will make sure it gets added to the "Interface Issues" compilation: http://forum.shuffleit.nl/index.php?topic=1014.msg2630#msg2630

I had Shelters + Hunting Party in a recent game. Since all the Shelters are different, HP still finds other Shelters if you have one in your hand.

Faithful Hound and Quest are not a very strong synergy, if not an active anti-synergy.

Faithful Hound and Quest are not a very strong synergy, if not an active anti-synergy.

Why, just because Gold is often bad? Seems to me once you have six cards in hand, including a Hound, you could discard your hand for a Gold as many turns in a row as you wanted. Not that one Gold per turn is all that exciting. Getting six cards and a Hound in hand could be accomplished simply with another Hound.

I mean, as combos go, it seems right up there with Golem/Counting House. Cute, but probably not worth doing. I'm not sure that's an anti-synergy. It's only annoying and potentially harmful in the sense that you might get suckered into actually doing it.

I remember something similar happening when I saw that Druid came up with the Gift that draws two cards and discards two. The kingdom had Faithful Hound in it, so I started imagining how I might leverage the discard. Then I realized I was trying to figure out how to turn the Druid into a slightly worse version of Faithful Hound. Duh. I didn't need the +buy that bad.

Rouge/Lookout: Eventually, you want to trash your Lookout, but if Lookout is the only card in the trash costing from 3 to 6, you have to gain it back instead of doing the attack.

Not to mention, a lookout wearing rouge would probably be easy for the enemy to see instead of being well-hidden the way a good lookout would be.

I think it's not all that hidden, towering from that ship in the middle of the ocean.

It's surprisingly easy to sneak up on an iceberg without being detected.

But doing so is a gigantic titanic mistake.

Card discounters + Debt cost cards
Quarry, Bridge, Highway, etc. doesn't directly help in eliminating Debt, so you're still paying "full price" for those that only cost Debt anyways.

[greybirdofprey]

Jester + cultist/marauder. Hit a ruin, different ruin on top of the ruins pile.
Baron + shelters. I'll just open baronOH WAIT.
Mission + black market. More turns means more black market plays means more oh wait.

Haunted Woods vs Night Cards

Opponent played a Haunted Woods? Better not buy anything if you want to play your Night cards.

Specifically, Guardian is crap vs. Haunted Woods

Actually, by my reading, the Guardian should go into your hand anyway, since Haunted Woods is on-buy. So, what happens is you buy the Guardian, you topdeck your hand (sans guardian) as a side effect of having bought it, and then you gain the Guardian, to your hand.

Edit: the online implementation confirms this behavior is correct.

Ah, nice. I was just thinking of previously-gained Guardians. It's nice to know this is an option.

As Bella found out the hard way, if you put Vampires and a Wolf Den together, what you'll get is a headache.
