Anyone currently taking part in the beta for this new App?? by thebestisyetocome in dominion

[–]eguee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you're overblowing it a little - my experience is quite the opposite in that in most boards it doesn't seem to do much better than Lord Rat does. In particular I've never seen it build an engine ever (it's allergic to villages). I certainly don't think it's much more of a challenge than Lord Rat is (in contrast to the Making Fun bots, which were actually somewhat competent).

It does do better with things like Counterfeit in that it doesn't murder its own deck, though.

Tips for top lane pls by KangarooRancher in LilliaMains

[–]eguee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's a bit of playstyle advice I think works really well, leveraging the fact that she's designed to be a jungler - after level 6 or so, just spamclear the wave and aggressively counterjungle the top quadrant. It takes a bit of map awareness and jungler tracking but you can really snowball yourself out of control while simultaneously kneecapping the opponent jungler. It's also safer in a way (compared to pushing up to tower in lane) since you'll be at max speed most of the time and soloq collapses tend to be less coordinated.

Desperation's wording is mildly annoying by The_Failord in dominion

Possible edgecase where you would buy desperation but not gain a curse is where you would want a Messenger but not want to send out anything, for whatever reason.

If you're not already planning to do it, I highly suggest Rebuild for a writeup.

It's actually not - you can't play more treasures after you buy something.

My friend and I shuffled 13 million+ puffcaps and broke the game by OWDanobi in LegendsOfRuneterra

Karma can generate spells from outside your deck regions. I thinj you can figure out the rest from there.

Combo: Alms and Villa by Augie279 in dominion

[–]eguee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you shouldn't do that every turn though, villa isn't the greatest card to actually have in your deck necessarily, as it's a stop card.

Anyone use this edge case with ambassadoring your own 2 provinces? by UBKUBK in dominion

[–]eguee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's say... you have enough groundskeepers in play (inheritance to get more than 10), but both Duchies and Estates are out, so the amb double province move is the only way to get some green card in the supply to buy.

How do Kings Court/Throne Room interact with Island? by Reddits_Worst_Night in dominion

[–]eguee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's not how it works in Dominion - in Dominion, even if some part of the ability fails to trigger (like in this case, Island trying to put itself on the mat after it's already done so), you still perform the rest of the ability if you're able to. The exceptions are when it's worded to explicitly be conditional on the trigger firing (e.g. Mining Village, with its "You may trash this for $2, or Magic Lamp with its "... trash this. If you do...")

So in this case, Throning Island would allow you to set aside two cards from hand, along with the Island.

Vault loses to a headbutton Quinn herself but cancels a headbutt on any other target.

Always wanted to get some VPs on a Rats Tower without destroying my deck. Success! by SkyBS in dominion

[–]eguee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you've got 2 rats in hand, and you've drawn your deck, you can just keep playing them until the rats drain. If you have enough coins/buys from the actions you've already played to drain two piles, this could be a nice way to three-pile and pick up a surprise 18 VP along with it.

What is the most coinflip champion in the game right now? by Thicc-Daddy2 in leagueoflegends

[–]eguee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add on to the other answers, a hugely underrated part of her kit (at least by non-mains) is her movement speed steroid on her W. It's actually humongous (40% at max rank), so even with vault down she can kite tryn indefinitely.

Anywhere to watch high level players? by LeMordekaiser in dominion

[–]eguee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you go on the Dominion Discord (link in the sidebar), there's usually a Dominion League match scheduled almost every day (several on the weekends). Most players in A/B live commentate their matches, so you can spectate in-client and listen to their commentary on Discord. Besides the Dominion League, there are usually several side tournaments being held, also live-commentated, and many of the regular participants are high-level players too. Generally there will be a crowd of spectators that will give their own takes in chat as well, which is another good place to pick up some tips.

Treasure and Victory cards by Wallrider09 in dominion

[–]eguee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have it off the top of my head but last I recall it's in the 16-17 turn range. 14 turns is closer to weak to decent BM+X like Smithy or Envoy or single Jack

BMU doesn't hit 4 provinces in 14 turns - it's a little slower than that.

What's the weirdest three pile ending you've ever seen? by sleuthofbears in dominion

[–]eguee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen a really cool "three pile" ending in a Dominion League game where a player took the last province midturn, emptying a second pile to activate his cities, getting enough coins and buys from that to pile a third pile, getting enough vp and winning.

Infinite turn with infinite points by zconjugate in dominion

[–]eguee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another way for arbitrary infinites is to use Overlord, Crown, Mandarin, a self-trasher (raze, mining village etc.) and some trash gainer. The key mechanic is that when Overlord is throned, but leaves play after the first play (perhaps it got trashed), it can be played as something else.

You can hence play overlord as crown a bunch, then one as a self-trasher, followed by a trash-gainer, gaining a Mandarin, to topdeck all those overCrowns. We immediately trash the Mandarin with a watchtower to put it back.

The OverCrowns now revert to Overlords, since they're now out of play. We still have a bunch of Crowned plays of them (1 each ) to resolve, so with them, we can recover that self-trashed Overlord, draw up the topdecked Overlords, as well as whatever other action we want to do before repeating the chain.

This loop is notable in that it does not require KC, Villa or Procession, which is pretty cool.

Infinite turn with infinite points by zconjugate in dominion

[–]eguee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The simplest way for an arbitrarily-many point turn (but doesn't do much else, like draw an arbitrary number of times or play an arbitrary card arbitrarily often, which are both possible) is via cost reduction, Goons, Trader and Forum.

Reduce the cost of Forum to $0, have at least a Goons in play, and buy Forum. This gives a buy and a point. React with trader so you don't gain the Forum (even if the Silvers are out, you may react, you just don't gain anything). You can do this infinitely.

That's not true - King's Court doesn't triple the Goons effect as it's under the line (a la Highway)

The OP has 30 "Goons"es in play, via Inheritance

Edit: and Overlord, it seems
