I mined these placeholder card names from onigame's new Dominion Set Generator.

BEguild ($4)
CBguild ($5)
CVguild ($5)
DNguild ($2)
EPguild ($3)
GPguild ($3)
HVguild ($5)
IFguild ($4)
NHguild ($5)
NJguild ($2)
TPguild ($5)
UWguild ($4)
UYguild ($4)

Looks like Guilds will have 13 cards, as expected. Anybody want to waste some time guessing what these names could be abbreviations for?

[SirPeebles]

CV and HV could be villages.

Unless Donald X. radically renamed every card in the set, I think you are reading a little too much into this

As in, these literally are placeholder names, and nothing to do with the final names?  It does seem odd that they would all be two-word names.

It also seems crazy that every single card would end in "guild."

[Schneau]

Seems like a reasonable distribution of costs.

[werothegreat]

I expect lots and lots of text on these.  I want complicated cards.

[ashersky]

UW is clearly the Ugly Witch we've all been waiting for.

[Sniffnoy]

Huh, I was expecting the box art/flavor text. We still have no idea when that might show up?

I notice theory says nothing about whether the distribution of costs is correct or not.

Seriously though, looking at the set generator -- sorry if this is a dumb question, but what reason do we have to think this is reliable? Is onigames among the people with inside information?  Also where did you find these on there?  I can force one in a set knowing the name now, but how did you find them originally?

It wasn't respecting the list of sets you asked it to choose from, so it came up with these fairly often when you asked for a random Kingdom.

Wouldn't that be like dead corpse?

[Watno]

I thik we'll all be BEguild by this expansion.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

BEwitched as well, no doubt. (Apologies to Lorenz Hart)

It was programmed by one of the original Dominion playtesters.

[Sniffnoy]

Ah, OK. I figured it was something like that but I'm not really familiar. Thanks.

You seem like an herbalist.

Two $2's in a small set. Interesting.

There's also no $6.

Yah. That is also interesting. It is the mini-expansion to Seaside!

[Tables]

I don't find this that interesting. About 20 cards are $2's, out of just under 200. About 1/10. So 2/13 is pretty normal. The distribution looks pretty standard to me, no $6 but, that's not really unusual (Seaside has none, Base had one and it's terrible. Dark ages only has 2 and it's 3 times the size of this). Of course, we're all assuming this information is even accurate.

Correction: Dark Ages has 3 cards costing $2 and a card costing $1, which is pretty much the same for distribution purposes.

Beggar
Poor House
Squire
Vagrant

He was referring to $6 cards.  And Adventurer is not terrible.  You just have to get rid of your Coppers.  Then it's orgasmitastic.

Dark Ages only has two $6's because it has a focus on cheap.  It seems Guilds is also focusing on cheap, because Alchemy and Cornucopia both had only one $2, and each had a $6 (Alchemy's being qualified).

Or it could just be that's how the pricing turned out in testing.  If you want expensive cards, buy Prosperity.

Ah, whoops! Sorry about that.   

[ConMan]

If you want expensive cards, play Magic: The Gathering.

Fixed it for you

'Just'. And it takes a lot of effort to make Adventurer worth more to you than Gold (factoring in the cost of it being terminal)
