Fun or interesting combos with Capitalism
« on: November 05, 2018, 07:05:05 am »

Of the new stuff it seems clear that Capitalism has the most potential for unexpected combos, strange games, and just affecting games the most.
What have you found?

Some cards will be much better, like for example Conspirator and Goons. It will be fun to add an Embargo token to a pile just after you bought a card from that pile yourself.

Poor House will shine!

Conspirator will not be much better, as you generally prefer to be able to play the actions that you draw, and that will not always be possible if Conspirator is played as Treasure. You cannot add Embargo tokens after you bought a card since you play all Treasure before buying cards.

Storyteller playing actions with "+ Coin" (obviously) and "+ 1 Action" enables village-like effects.

Rulebook says the +$ has to be in the card text, so you cannot turn any action into a Treasure using the token.

Conspirator will not be much better, as you generally prefer to be able to play the actions that you draw, and that will not always be possible if Conspirator is played as Treasure.
But at least it will be much easier to get Conspirator chains going that you get a lot of $$ from.

Oh yeah Storyteller becomes ridiculous in two ways. Mostly you think about the effect of Capitalism during the Buy phase, where Storyteller can now be used for draw even if drawn dead. But now it also gets a huge buff as an engine component during the action phase since it can play all of your new action/treasures for draw and other effects.

I don't whether this qualifies as unexpected, but Bank can become pretty strong, with significantly less effort.

Minion will be so strong. Already on its own, when you can play all treasures and then get new cards. But with cards like bridge.. Unbeatable :)

In some of the decks with minion you can actually hit end actions immediately and go through your whole deck during your buy phase.

I'm glad there's something mind-blowing that wasn't in the previews. Looks like with Conclave and a throne variant you can start an action chain in your buy phase, which may or may not have interesting effects.

Also, Iron cards and Courtier get a buff.

Poor House will shine!
That seems to be an understatement. In fact, I myself (whenever I eventually get Renaissance) will avoid playing with Poor House and Capitalism, it just seems to be a borderline broken combo, given the fact that Poor House costs $1.

Keep in mind that the value of Poor House goes down as you get more, because they're all treasures. Two can be good but the third is just a Silver, and the fourth is a Copper.

Do inherited Estates become Treasures? My first hunch is no.

I can really see this going either way. Your Estates are definitely "actions"; the only question is do they have anything "in their text". Inheritance gives your Estates the "abilities" of another card; I suppose it's reasonable that having an ability doesn't mean that you have that text. So you're probably correct on your hunch; but I can't be sure.

They become Treasures (if the inherited card becomes one). The effect of Inheritance is supposed to give them text in my understanding. And IIRC Donald at least agreed on the outcome. One other argument is that the set aside card becomes a Treasure, so the Estates copy that independly of them being directly affected by Capitalism.

Well if this is so, then we can have a quintuple-type card by Inheriting Dame Sylvia in Capitalism!

EDIT: Werewolf Inherited will be a sixtuple type!
