How many Cabal Therapy do you run? I've been thinking about adding a second. although I don't run Peek/Gitaxian Probe and I'd say my list is a fair bit higher powered. I've had Hymn to Tourach in that spot but that can lead to some depressing games.

I suspect it's because Courser especially slowed down games as players wrote down every card that was revealed. There are also issues with what happens if someone forgets to reveal, and drawing multiples isn't that intuitive either as you said. It definitely seems like a cool card though...

I'm going to spend all mana as though it were the type generated by Cavern of Souls

I had the same reaction but on considering it, this feels like a card that is only good when you're already winning. If you're not ahead when you play this, your creatures probably aren't tapping to attack, and I don't think a green deck with mana dorks really wants this. Maybe it's good with...

The most recent "expansion" to Dominion was a patch to the first two expansions, which kind of shows how they haven't aged all that well. I think 5 cards from each have been replaced with similar but better designed versions.

Big Money might not be all that interesting but it's kind of necessary. It means there's always a baseline route to victory and your goal is to outrace/disrupt it. The slog decks aren't necessarily failed combo decks. One example is Gardens with I think Beggar, which gives you Coppers when...

I guess one way to reduce Gideon, Ally of Zendikar's standard dominance is to add another Gideon that competes with him? Although it's not clear whether this just makes AoZ even better.

I'm basing it mostly on this dominon strategy article https://dominionstrategy.com/2013/01/21/the-five-fundamental-deck-types-introduction/ Depending on how wide your definition of "engine" is, you could describe decks that fit into some of the other categories as engine decks as well -...

You leave the cards out when you clear your play area so it's not difficult at all. I love Dominion, it's in my view one of the best and most tightly designed games of the modern era. The interaction seems fairly limited at first to the attack cards, and this is emphasised in the base set...

With Trade Routes in play every land is a cycling land!

Trade routes tortured existence

not with that attitude

Hopeful Eidolon seems much more playable if you're in the market for this kind of effect.

Flying and not costing any mana to get the second half, and getting it instantly. Honestly Sacred Cat looks like garbage to me, a 1/1 lifelink is just nothing on so many boards, even if you get another one straight after.

Also Astral Slide anyone? Eh?

If a duel is a 1v1 fight and a duelist is someone who fights duels, why on earth can Trueheart Duelist block two creatures?

I kind of like them. That said, when I saw the Aven Mindcensor I didn't realise the name and type line were in English.

Wow can you imagine that with Smuggler's Copter still in the format?

I disagree that you're meant to hold it. In my opinion, targetted discard gets much worse the later in the game you get, when players naturally have fewer cards in hand to hit. I think you'd want to try and play them as early as possible when your opponent's hand is fullest and you're more...

They both seem pretty much unplayable unless your power is far below that of retail draft. From what I remember, Night Terrors was a card you were unhappy to play and Maw was a card that you never played. Could you explain what you mean by this? Maybe I'm falling into the trap you're...
