One day the chancellor cards fell out of the box and into a mud puddle and nothing of value was lost.

Chancellor is supreme for swindling the opponent's $3 cards into.

[chwhite]

Chancellor is one of the most underrated cards in the game.

And yet it still sucks.

[chesskidnate]

Chancellor is a good card_{(When solving puzzles involving perfect shuffle luck)}

[werothegreat]

I could see using Chancellor if my opponent had all the Ghost Ships.  Just to give me at least somewhat a chance of seeing cards I buy.

EDIT: ORRRRRRR play a Chancellor right before buying an Inn.  That would be awesome.

[Kirian]

And of course Chancellor has its awesome combos.  Like Chancellor-Stash.  And... um...

[theory]

Chancellor is an integral part of the most broken three-card combo in Dominion: Chancellor-Counting House-Coppersmith

[theory]

Just like Hinterlands made us all reevaluate Silver gainers like Bureaucrat and Explorer

I've heard this before but what's the argument for it? I mean, I can see Hinterlands gave us some strong Silver gainers, but how does it strengthen the existing ones? Just in the sense that Explorer is a good late addition to a Jack deck? I guess you can Farmland Silvers to Duchies which is nice? That's about it, I'm stumped.

I think when people realized Jack was so strong, they were like, hey, maybe gaining Silver ain't that bad after all.

I love how, both as individual players and as the Dominion community as a whole, we oscillate back and forth on how strong certain cards are.  Chapel is stupid, Chapel is AWESOME, Chapel is meh, Chapel is sweet... Silver is ok, Silver is AWESOME, Silver is stupid, Silver's not bad...  Chancellor is dumb, Chancellor is meh, Chancellor is terrible, Chancellor makes a couple killer combos but is still terrible...

Ironworks/Workshop went from bad to mediocre.
Goons and Masquerade went from good to outstanding.
KC and Wharf went from great to unreal.

I've used Vault to a similar effect - possibly greater, since you use the money twice.

Or even better, village, chancellor , university on Inn, + cards, Win.

Also, the only problem with this is that it needs +Buy.

also villages (to play 3 actions), card draw (to get those actions), and worst of all....copper

Vault solves the card draw, AND gives you more money.  In fact, just ignore Chancellor and get Vault.

Hey man.  Just run Crossroads/Chancellor/Counting House/Coppersmith/Market and you can get, like, two Provinces!

[Insomniac]

Scheme+Golem+Chancellor+Counting House, buy copper early while lining up scheme golem. Profit

[werothegreat]

Scheme+Golem+Chancellor+Counting House, buy copper early while lining up scheme golem. Profit

Still needs +Buy.

[blueblimp]

Scheme+Golem+Chancellor+Counting House, buy copper early while lining up scheme golem. Profit

Still needs +Buy.

I ran a solo game with just Scheme+Golem+Counting House, and it's not too bad. In a Colony game, it's probably even dominant if there's nothing else going on.

[Grujah]

Guys.

Inn.

(seriously).

I said Inn!

[Grujah]

You said in before whole CH/CprSmth shennenigans.

I meant with those 2. Easy peasy setup + actions to play that stuff! Only need some extra actions to shuffle in so that you do not trigger reshuffle with + Draw.

Man you guys are brutal to Chancellor. He's not an all-star, I admit, but he serves a purpose in more games than you would imagine. Unlike, say, Develop, he's never TERRIBLE. He just isn't prioritized and thus is often forgotten about, especially without an abundance of actions.

Chancellor could be a lot worse.  He could be Duchess.

Duchess could be a lot worse. She could be Scout.

Scout could be a lot worse. He could be a Curse.
