Interesting. Thank you guys for taking the time to have this lil’ chat with me, albeit a little off topic one (Sorry 'bout that)! And uh, thank you for doing so without making me feel like I’m a complete idiot who doesn’t know his “Dominion 101”, unlike uhh…
*cough*So I was looking at all Wager could be and considered all of these options and their appropriated cost as if they were cards on their own. “Oh so it can be Village, so that’s a
