Some cards are risky to put in a Golem/Herald deck. That's fine.

You mean Trade Route, Forager and Rats?

And Upgrade, and Junk Dealer. And Masquerade. And Remake. And Forge. Trading Post. Count. Remodel, Replace, Expand, Develop, Stonemason, Zombie Mason, Exorcist, Dismantle. Salvager, Apprentice, Bishop, Trader.

Those too.

*Edit* Oh, Lookout and Small Castle. And Catapult.

And Island. Technically Ambassador also.

i.e. any mandatory trashers.

And other stuff like Mandarin or Leprechaun.

Priest I haven't been impressed by, yet. It seems like you need a lot in place for its potential to be unleashed; it didn't do much on the boards I've played with it.

I managed a double tac engine where payload was 6 markets, 2 couriers and 2 priests.  I was able to double province and didn't run out of fuel.  I was actually surprised it worked, but it was fun to play.

[Donald X.]

I wonder if Priest was tested with giving Coffers instead.

It was (with +1 Coffers).

What's a Courier?

I assume it's supposed to be Courtier.

Could also be Messenger, which has a similar name in certain languages.

Yes, I meant Courtier

I feel like this Seer has overseen a lot of Experiments.

OK by merit of which edge case do I get Zombie Mason into a Herald or Golem deck?

[ipofanes]

Experiments are more successful if you prepare them with a Plan.

[Awaclus]

You have a Lurker in your deck, your Herald or Golem plays it, and you don't want to make any piles smaller by trashing cards from them because otherwise your opponent might 3-pile.

or just Rouge. (that card have failed me so many times #neverattacks)

[Awaclus]

Is Rouge another card from Renaissance?

[Oyvind]

or just Rouge. (that card have failed me so many times #neverattacks)

Is Rouge another card from Renaissance?

I was thinking the same. It's probably an attack that never attacks, with a card type of Make-up.

[infangthief]

I think Rouge is a drac from Drak Sage.

I like Scholar here.
I mean, I like the way that draw-to-X cards hold out that promise of reigniting your turn after you've done some discarding/trashing. Like I used to dream of Chapelling away dross, then playing Library and pow off you go again. But it's hardly ever worth going for in practice because where are you going to get enough actions from?

Now we have Villagers, so all those dreams can come true.
Recruit a Gold, do some Priest trashing, play a Bandit to replace the Gold, then play Scholar and keep going.

Yes, any draw-to-X would do, but I'm glad we've got one here in the set that introduces Villagers.

[cascadestyler]

Mountain Village is superb with Messenger. It's probably the best synergy with the "discard your deck" mechanic that I've seen.

[Trogdor the Burninator]

Mountain Village is amazing when played after you play a card that gains you something. I just had a game (vs. a bot) with Magpie and it was really nice to be able to deploy gained Magpies immediately with the Mountain Villages, and I'm sure there's countless other similar situations, especially with the "gain a card costing up to X" cards where Mountain Village will come in really handy.


I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but Mountain Village + Villa has the potential to be a powerful combo because if you save a Mountain Village until after you buy a Villa, and you have bought card(s) previously, then Villa could be used to get those Mountain Village(s) in play, which could then be used to get all the card(s) you just bought that turn, in play that turn. This is purely theoretical at this moment, as I've not tested it but it seems like it could work, and work really well in some engine games.

[King Leon]

I just realized how good Seer is in a Silver+Gardens deck (a lot better than Scout btw.) And this set has a lot of stuff with +Buy. I am excited ...

[ipofanes]

Experiment is Actors Troupe for cards I guess, apart from they clog your deck while unused.

[ipofanes]

Has anyone tried Seers and Magpies? I have, but found it wasn't as fast as I had hoped.

[jamfamsam]

Maybe someone mentioned this already, but Mountain Village has significant value helping you get through the Page and Peasant lines. It's somewhat luck dependent, of course, but getting to the end of the line with those a shuffle or two earlier than your opponent can be important.

[arishipshape]

Like if the first thing you thought when you saw Scholar was "ITS PROFESSOR SYCAMORE!"

[King Leon]

Like if the first thing you thought when you saw Scholar was "ITS PROFESSOR SYCAMORE!"

Nope, I thought, it was Professor Oak. But you are more precise, because Oak is a normal Trainer card (nowadays called ltem card) and thus non-terminal, where Sycamore and Juniper are Supporter cards, which are comparable to terminal actions in the Dominion world.
