Also, is it my imagination or is Camel Train the sweetest support for Gardens in the whole game?

beggar tho

[crj]

Getting two exiled cards feels stronger than gaining 3 Coppers to hand? Especially since one of them can be from a pile the other players possibly wanted for their strategy and/or lets you three-pile quicker.

[theorel]

Feels like Workshop is better, because you can actually gain Gardens with it.  Eventually with Camel Train you'll need to figure out how you're going to consistently hit 4 while flooding with Gardens.

Beggar has that same advantage, flooding your deck with stuff and also helping you actually get Gardens.

[faust]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that Camel Train is pretty crap with Gardens. You'll never get to unexile those Golds because you'll never hit $6. You'll struggle to hit $4 quickly.

[silverspawn]

^ that will almost certainly happen. Also, you only gain the second card if you buy camel train. Beggar gives you 3 cards every time you play it.

If I play Wishing Well and wish for a Caravan, will it also find a Camel Train? (Sorry, stupid joke.)

It was good until you ruined it with the parenthetical.

[trivialknot]

One dilemma this card presents: Do you exile a card that you're likely to gain this shuffle, or do you speculatively exile a card that you'll gain in a future shuffle?

I guess the way I use Duplicate, I often let it sit on the mat through shuffles, to wait for a better card.  Camel Train seems even better for this purpose, as Camel Train will not skip shuffles.  So we may see a lot of exiling-for-later with Camel Train.  Looking forward to it.


Something I'd like to see in future bonus previews, are attacks, or otherwise interactive cards/landscapes.

Jokes are always funnier after you explain them.

Also, everybody takes my jokes seriously if I don't (like the one about Way of the Chameleon being zoologically exotic). But arguably that makes the joke funnier, because I actually seem like an idiot.

Yes, in those 0.049 % of games they’re both included... Twice every 4 071 games.

Oh, for sure it's gonna be rare.  Even the more general combination of Looter + Way of the Horse will be rare.  Still, it's a pretty funny interaction.  And also, Ruins become quite appealing to buy in the rare games with both Way of the Horse and at least one Looter

In games with Shelters, you basically have a free Lab, since there's no pile for Necropolis to be returned to, so that would be pretty useful!

Well, you aren't forced to keep every card exiled. You can start exiling silvers till a point you ready to go gardens(preferably just before a shuffle), then gain one silver and then your next shuffle is flooded with money to gain gardens, while you can start exiling gold to fight for provinces/duchies on lucky turns. So no - i think it is a good garden enabler.

If you're playing a Gardens rush, the point when you're ready to go for Gardens should be like the third shuffle. The "flood" of Silvers at that point is like 2 at best.

[silverspawn]

Another interesting aspect of way of the horse is that it makes 3-piling much harder. Have a great deck but the game is about to end? Return some of your cards to the supply.

[silverspawn]

Also, I believe all cards out of the black market become labs?

Correct. Necropolis, Zombies, and Black Market cards have no pile to return to.
