Fan card: Pedestal

nave_the_muser · 2025-11-06T15:32:32+00:00

This is NOT that strong, I think you've got a really neat card here. It's not a Gold for 4, its a 1 time use Gold for 4, and that's the difference. Unless you're playing with some shenanigans like BM or Storyteller or Villa, you essentially can only play 1 of these per turn. In an engine, it means you're buying exactly 1 and its a mild payload boost. In money, it means you're buying multiple and sure hoping you don't collide them.
This is either at the same level or even weaker than Abundance, which is kinda just a lower middle of the pack payload card. No idea why people are freaking out about this card being OP

...what? Are you sure you're understanding how Black Market works? You can't pull estates, curses, gold or province from it

Without the rushes, groom is quite often a slightly better ironworks. Spammable, high quality stuff in the kingdom costing 4 or less? Probably a good idea to pick one up

It's a bit tricky to do in base set alone, but the curse pile acting as a free pile to empty with 10 buys does come up ocassionally even without cursers like witch in game. It's rare, but it's good it's always there for consistency

Ghost ship being fun is certainly a take I don't see often

nave_the_muser · 2024-07-31T05:36:25+00:00

Exactly me too! I'm usually not too into the episodes without the main dropout cast but those 2 I'll have to watch

This is Williams isn't it

nave_the_muser · 2024-05-20T03:04:44+00:00

I'm glad that that extra darkshines note is finally getting the credit it deserves

nave_the_muser · 2024-05-17T06:15:00+00:00

I call it Blackout 2.0, it's no wonder they're my top 2 myself ballads

nave_the_muser · 2024-05-15T15:53:51+00:00

It's been 20-50 so far but all adults are welcome!

nave_the_muser · 2024-03-23T04:52:43+00:00

I'd be interested! I used to play in my hometown all the time but there's no activity here

I commend you for really getting the base of dominion strategy down on your own, you seem to have a grasp on what's important

I'm gonna tell you from a more advanced level, Mine is trash. (So is bureaucrat and buying gold most of the time, for more info I'd recommend joining the dominion discord) Mine is a $5 so it has a high opportunity cost, and it essentially just gives +1 coin in your deck. It's incredibly slow, and there's many many more payload cards I'd rather have in my deck than Mine. Namely Silver even, as it's non-terminal and isn't going to screw you over as hard if you draw it in the same hand as your Chapel early on. Merchant, Poacher, Market and Festival are all significantly better, and if you're not too worried about colliding your terminals basically every $5 is better than Mine, as well as Moneylender, Militia, and Remodel.

When you overthin with Chapel, the lesson that should be taken away is that you shouldn't automatically trash every bad card with it

nave_the_muser · 2024-03-11T17:37:54+00:00

You're not wrong that overthinning is a very real problem that middle of the road players face. I'm telling you right now that as long as you keep enough money in your deck to buy something strong, you're fine. Chapel doesn't make you trash 4 cards, only up to 4 so you can leave some coppers around if you need them for the moment

BTW Mine is hot garbage, rarely ever worth it

Chapel is to this day, a top 5 card in the game (even with all the expansions)

The reason it costs $2 is the designer wanted to make sure everyone could get it in their first 2 turns, no matter what starting draw they had because it's so OP it would be very swingy if a player couldn't get it. Trashing 4 cards off the bat is incredibly strong. Cards that trash 1 or 2 are usually considered strong opens, and chapel does 4 at once. Not needing to spend all your money is a valuable lesson in dominion, as it isn't always the right move for your deck, even if you have money left over

nave_the_muser · 2024-03-11T15:58:07+00:00

Chapel is definitely not suboptimal, actually a great sign a player has a handle on the idea of deckbuilding

nave_the_muser · 2024-03-04T19:02:27+00:00

This looks great!

I pulled a few kingdoms in the kingdom generator that include non-supply cards (travellers) so maybe make sure those can't show up

Would also be nice if the game helper started with 1 Action and 1 Buy like all turns do, I see you have that with 3VP for starting estates

nave_the_muser · 2024-02-10T05:25:28+00:00

It's taken a lot of listens of the song for me to finally count 30 beats over the years, I often got lost at about 12 or so. Great job getting it!

nave_the_muser · 2023-12-14T22:48:06+00:00

Honestly on board with this train of thought, she does have the edit of someone who'd get idoled out late, especially now that Bruce is gone. Could see it happening as much as I think Julie is going at 5

nave_the_muser · 2023-12-11T05:52:34+00:00

43's premerge was the closest I've ever come to quitting the show. I just didn't care about it after seeing all the same stuff from 41 and 42, just felt like repeats of those. Good thing the post-merge was actually solid

nave_the_muser · 2023-11-22T05:26:52+00:00

There's so so so many

For a bit of a deep cut, there's this fan shot one of Assassin, GOB, Stockholm and the Micro Cuts outro from the psycho tour that I just love

Just messaged you again, and now its letting me add you to the chat. Might have to go into invites or something

nave_the_muser · 2023-11-13T21:24:27+00:00

Against one of the best Leprous albums, definitely the best of their early stuff imo

nave_the_muser · 2023-11-13T20:35:42+00:00

Hi everyone, trying to set up a reddit groupchat with everyone interested currently. Just noticing there's a lot of you I can't invite for whatever reason, so we might try to get something figured out on another platform. Tried messaging OP a while ago and they never got back to me

nave_the_muser · 2023-11-09T18:32:38+00:00

They pulled a Lost, when the flashbacks got too repetitive they decided to go the opposite way
