Lookout is garbage, go home, you're drunk

Also, Sea Hag is easily A.

2014 called, they want their relative perception of the power of various Dominion cards back.

Anyhow I’ll do my bitter rejection of these Seaside rankings with my own unjustified takes tomorrow, but for now: Tactician shouldn’t even be in B tier.

No and no.

WOAH. Now I will do my unjustified takes in response to your unjustified takes and it will devolve into a Bayless/Sharpe debate with namecalling, locked threads and burned apple pie.

Lookout is good, but it's no Chapel, Ambassador, Steward, etc.

Outpost is great. A for me. Merchant Ship is actually worse than Navigator. I'm 100% confident in this.

[Awaclus]

Well, it's no Chapel or Ambassador, but it's pretty much as good as Steward.

Navigator has to be better than Merchant Ship, yes.

[benedettosoxfan]

Lookout in the top tier is certainly controversial, but I understand the logic if you really REALLY value early trashing/sifting, but the one I don't understand is Explorer in a tier over Cutpurse and Merchant Ship. They're all iffy terminal payload, but cutpurse is cheaper with a useful early game attack, and merchant ship is obviously a duration, but explorer sticks you with a silver that you may or may not want, or possibly a gold that you may or may not want. What's the reasoning behind that distinction?

[Cave-o-sapien]

Smugglers in A?

[LastFootnote]

I'd bump Treasure Map up to D.

[faust]

New update. There will be a lot of scandal in this one. I know you're all staring at the Lookout in S.

I remember a wise man once said that Lookout is the best trasher in the game, so I am not at all surprised.

I'll probably drop Lookout to high A. I'll redo all these lists once I release all of them.

On another note, that was a voice in the wilderness, but Silver slightly overplayed how good it is. It's not Ambassador good, but man few cards are.

[werothegreat]

Sea Hag is certainly not S, but cursing is still very powerful.

And I would put Lookout in B. It's good, but not a premier trasher.

[filovirus]

Lookout has a two problems that would make it not be tier S:

1) Too slow of a trasher. At best it trashes 1 card per turn.

2) It gets weaker as the game progresses, until it force trashes a good card from the deck at worst, to it just being a dead card in hand at best.

However, the sifting and trashing combo is great. A-/B+.

[Commodore Chuckles]

Salvager should be in B or even C. It's really not that good.

[Seprix]

Oh man, you can't really ever skip this guy. The ability to blow up your deck for a couple extra bucks and just pileout and win is insane.

[trivialknot]

Do Nocturne next!

[Seprix]

Do Nocturne next!

You know what? I will. 

[Commodore Chuckles]

Time to jump on the bandwagon. Here's the standard I'll be using:

S: Possibly broken.
A: Rarely skippable.
B: Good but sometimes skippable.
C: Okay.
D: Weak/niche.
F: Nearly useless.

Base:
S: Chapel
A: Witch, Artisan, Laboratory, Sentry,
B: Village, Militia, Throne Room, Smithy, Moneylender
C: Council Room, Festival, Merchant, Poacher, Cellar, Market, Vassal
D: Remodel, Bandit, Library, Gardens, Mine, Harbinger, Workshop, Moat
F: Bureaucrat

[Seprix]

Boom. Completely based off of barely any playing time. I'll change this up later, it's not official right now.

[ghost_of_jonts]

Do your rankings consider the heirlooms they come with or would those need to be ranked on their own?

Also you really think Pookah is unplayable? It seems strong to me.

[Awaclus]

I think you have accidentally switched up Pooka and Devil's Workshop.

[trivialknot]

Hard to believe Conclave deserves an S rank when it's a cheaper Festival.  I would swap it with Monastery, which is surely almost as strong as Lookout.

[faust]

Oh, Nocturne cards.

I think if anything is S-tier here, it's Vampire. Necromancer in D is super strange, I think that is a solid A. I don't know how Conclave is S-tier, that's just some middle ground between Squire and Festival, and those are not strong cards.

1) Too slow of a trasher. At best it trashes 1 card per turn.

The +1 Action is a big deal in this respect.

The +1 Action is a big deal in this respect.

The fact that it cycles three cards is an even bigger deal.

Maybe true, but I did say "in this respect" - i.e. considering the specific objection that Lookout is too slow a trasher. Just buy more than one! (Lookout/Lookout is actually a pretty nice opening for thinning quickly and being pretty likely to hit $5 before second shuffle on a board where that's important.)
