About this deal
I had tons of cards. I took out a lot of cards, based mainly on what fit the set best; they are waiting around in case they get to be real boys someday. I ended up with two minor themes: choose ones and recursion. Late in the going I scrapped two split piles, which let me fit in three regular piles (which all ended up being cards from split piles), plus an ally. At the start of your next turn, may play an Action, then draw to 6. I think LastFootnote suggested this.
If you use Throne Room on Overlord , and have it play 2 Quartermasters, there will be 2 sets of cards that cards are gained to. Overlord will stay in play forever, while Throne Room won't. [1] Enduring Durations: Cage, Search, Secluded Shrine, Abundance, Flagship, Landing Party, Cutthroat, Quartermaster, Endless Chalice If emptying a Supply pile causes you to play this (e.g. you gain the last Search and play it with Innovation ), that won't trigger the Search (it triggers off the next Supply pile that's emptied).
Dominion Nocturne
Early on I tried doing more VP token cards. Some of those gave VP tokens when you gained them, and let you spend the tokens somehow. Others came with VP tokens via a formula; the effect was kind of like Triumph. Removed cards: Loan • Trade Route Talisman Contraband • Counting House • Mountebank • Royal Seal • Venture Goons When gain, reveal top 3, play the Actions/Treasures, discard the rest. Super Gamble, was super nuts. Then there was a one-card Gamble. Many Duration cards in Plunder are Treasures. These are just like normal Treasures, except that they stay in play until they're done doing things, like other Durations do. Later on I realized Traits could be stronger than they'd been. So, that earlier Trait with no bad part. It does not spark joy.
next turn may return this for +2 Cards. This had been in an Allies split pile. We'd liked it there. Here it was totally fine but in the end there were more fun things to do. It was extra-cute in the spile pile, since returning to the pile meant it might cover up another card.
