It's good that Mystic works with deck inspection, and otherwise it's just guessing. Really shows that predicting the future is just guesswork.

It isn't guesswork when there has been an Oracle helping her predict the future. Or a Fortune Teller. And even a Scrying Pool is sometimes enough.

At first the Mystic is just blindly guessing, but if she gets it wrong then the next Mystic predicts with 100% accuracy.

Unless you're just an idiot.

Or don't want the card.

Okay, right, but this is about theme of cards.  The point was that guessing the future once allows you to know the future for your second guess.

Right - but you can also delay that future if you want.

Right, but it still doesn't make thematic sense.

Sure it does - you use your advanced knowledge of the future to stop it from happening for a while.

The important thing about mystic is that even if she guesses wrong, she still provides money.

Clearly, all calls to the Mystic Hotline are non-refundable.

Stop that, I don't want you to look at my avatar.

The actual worth of a Masterpiece is proportional to the amount that you paid for it.

Reread that thing!  It was just oh so fun to read! So of course I upvoted them... each one added another small moment of happiness to my day.

Mama always told me be a lover not a stingy-non-upvoting-punk.

... maybe I got that quote wrong... can't remember exactly, but it was something along those lines.

The guy who copies money, must have friends in the cloning business - they can Mint Harems!

Almost any card's interaction with Harem is weird.

Making women (or people in general) a currency is weird to start with.

[Warfreak2]

Not to mention, making ownership of women part of the victory condition.

Not historically.

Historical accuracy, down to the gritty details, in Dominion? You don't think that's weird? :-p

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to have see my Ironworks about making me some Silver.

Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Ironworks is not in Alchemy.

The zoos are at their most popular just after the invading army has come and wrecked it all (Menageries are great against Militia).

[dondon151]

I guess people just like small zoos!

They like zoos that have exactly one of each animal, regardless of how big the zoo is. So a zoo filled with a thousand elephants is actually less impressive than one with a single Rat.

[dondon151]

On the other hand, they just can't get enough of humans decked out in armor!

[thespaceinvader]

My favourite, I think, is still being able to sacrifice minions to a torturer, as long as you can keep one of them around to bail you out of trouble and come back with a posse.

Minion/torturer is fun.

The knights will strike down a witch, young or old. They'll cross blades with a common marauder or a noble margrave. They'll single-handedly take down a squad of goons, an entire militia, or even a whole ship full of pirates.

They won't go after the mercenary, though. He's just that badass.
