What are some silly mistakes you always make, always remind yourself not to make and then make again at the next opportunity?

I always have to remind myself that while Wharf is a good card and Menagerie is a good card, the two don't exactly go well together

Fairgrounds != Farmland.

Before you start to go for whatever Bridge-supported strategy you're planning, check and see if Native Village is on the board... seriously, I've played at least a few games where I suddenly saw Native Village-Bridge several turns into the game.

Twice recently I bought a Quarry thinking it was a Talisman.

Forgetting to use spare buys on Peddlers

Also forgetting to click "Buy Phase" when playing a turn with no Treasures in hand.

Want to use all coins including copper when Grand Market is in play but forget to play the copper. Actually cost me a game last night (lost by one point and left two coppers and a buy in hand twice)

I'll see a combo on the board and go for it, not giving a second thought to look for counters to that combo.

NV and Bridge are available? GO FOR IT!

Bishop and extra trashing are available? GO FOR IT!

...Yeah, you thought that was gonna be Militia, didn't you? Nope, when I fail, I fail BIG!

I keep forgetting Sir Martin cost $4 and not $5.

Tactician/Vault, discarding too many cards.
Just happened yesterday.

I had an opponent possess my hand and pulled off the combo... Ugh...

I always fuck up when to reshuffle. When I want to buy an Action, I always end up triggering the shuffle, and I never end up triggering it when I buy a Victory card.

Piemaster · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2013, 03:33:49 pm »

Playing a Watchtower for 1 card at the end of a turn, just because, forgetting about the option to use it to put cards I buy on top of my deck.

Mine is not Mint

When I have a Throne Room, two Ambassadors and no other actions in hand, I always accidentally give away an Ambassador.

*groan*

I sometimes buy Mine thinking I will trash 5 Coppers and then am very sad when it doesn't happen or buy Mint thinking it was Mine and lose out on some nice treasures (but I haven't done that one in a while).

I have a bigger problem with Scavenger/Salvager.

You just blew my mind. I never even realized that.

The first couple times playing with Graverobber IRL, I kept forgetting to put the trash-gained card on top of my deck.

gman314 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 28, 2013, 08:27:52 pm »

When playing IRL, my Caravans have a good chance of doing pretty much nothing.

Frosted · « **Reply #23 on:** January 28, 2013, 08:29:42 pm »

If I play less than 3 Highways I will not even remember that they lower the cost of things.

Never have that problem with Bridge. I think it's the non-terminal thing. It just makes me lazy.

Forgeting to check if there are actually any villages in kingdom when I see things like Scrying Pool + Goons and go for them blindly.
