As a person who has problens with shuffling, i can say playing online makes things really nice. Though its really hard to accidentally shuffle my deck in person.

Pawn (2)
Wishing Well (3)
Merchant (3)
Steward (3)
Shanty Town (3)
Militia (4)
Smithy (4)
Market (5)
Laboratory (5)
Replace (5)

Played with:
Sanzath, Lurker, Celirra (winner)

Notes:
Market is a very strong card, and is pretty much a must-buy. Militia ended up not being horrible thanks to all the + cards in this supply. Also, I really think Merchant was overlooked by everyone, it's a very strong early game card. It was also interesting having a good 2-buy for once in Pawn.

Lurker (2)
Wishing Well (3)
Steward (3)
Monument (4)
Conspirator (4)
Mining Village (4)
Contraband (5)
Goons (6)
Grand Market (6)
King's Court (7)

Played with:
Sanzath, Lurker (winner), Raeko, Celirra

Notes:
King's Court is a VERY silly card. King's Court into Lurker (the card) gives a free supply card, and King's Court into Goons is borderline broken due to the victory point effect (props to Lurker (the person) for finding it out). Contraband is a ton of fun, and shoutout to Raeko for being on point with her wishing wells.

Native Village (2)
Urchin (3)
Hermit (3)
Treasure Map (4)
Scavenger (4)
Cutpurse (4)
Salvager (4)
Graverobber (5)
Count (5)
Treasury (5)

Played with:
Lurker, Raeko, inDheart, Celirra (winner)

Notes:
Premade game Lurker found, with one change. Treasure Map was a ton of fun, and cutpurse ended up requiring some nice strategy for counterplay which was nifty. Just about everything other than Hermit ended up getting used, which is swell. Native village definitely has potential too I feel. Graverobber + Treasure Map is cute synergy

Play Machi Koro.

i'll win one some day *shakes fist*

btw cavernio i think you would have the same issue with nearly all deck builder games, but playing over tabletop sim helps a lot

and if i ever sit down and re-learn how to play sentinels, i don't think anyone would care for shuffling quality overmuch in that game

Haven (2)
Smugglers (3)
Island (4)
Salvager (4)
Venture (5)
Contraband (5)
Wharf (5)
Royal Seal (5)
Bank (7)
Expand (7)

Players:
Thesunfan (winner), Storn, Raeko, Celirra

Notes:
HWAURPH
Bank is a very strong card, and Sunfan was smart to realize that really early on. Royal seal has potential despite no use in this game. Venture isn't as good as anticipated. Contraband is generally a very fun card, and all around this treasure-heavy game was pretty neat.

Lighthouse (2)
Cellar (2)
Warehouse (3)
Smithy (4)
Remodel (4)
Sea Hag (4)
Bureaucrat (4)
Market (5)
Outpost (5)
Treasury (5)

Players:
Lurker, Storn, Thesunfan, Celirra (winner)

Notes:
I think cellar is very overrated by a lot of people. Ultimately this game was very dull and only had a few very good cards; I was particularly fond of building nothing but Lighthouse, Market, and a couple Smithys. I do like Bureaucrat a lot earlygame though, for the free silver at top deck. Market is still incredibly strong.

Courtyard (2)
Masquerade (3)
Loan (3)
Watchtower (3)
Conspirator (4)
Mining Village (4)
Upgrade (5)
Vault (5)
Mountebank (5)
Mint (5)

Players:
Roundbox, Raeko, inDheart, Celirra (winner)

Notes:
Watchtower got no use, which is unfortunate because I like the card a lot. Loan got no use either, and I have no idea when it would be used. Masquerade is still silly, as is Mountebank; also, Mint with platinum in game is really silly.

its still a really bad card imo

What's the use for it?

its supposed to counter the extra copper you get from montebank, as well as a few other cards from some other expansions.

again, I still think its really bad.

[mellonxcollie]

I don't know if anybody documented the games last night but I won once and then Storn won his first game! congrats storn! (real storn)

[smartdude1212]

Loan is amazing with the right combination, but that setup looks like it has better ways of getting rid of copper.

I don't have Tabletop Simulator but if I get it sometime soon I will play the fuck outta Dominion with whoever's around. My roommate and I play basically everyday, and there's still no clear idea of who's the better overall player.
