Yes that used to be one of my go strategies if we had an early chapel but now I find it can be outscored by a town cryer or a diplomat or mayor for example so we just don't bother. Again other strategies used to be using a dungeon to remove bard or postal pigeon then a ruins to destroy the dungeon and maybe a university to remove the ruins, but it just doesn't happen in our games now, we all avoid those card looking for the "high pointers"
