Dominion: Mine
This is a revised version of a guest article by greatexpectations, incorporating additional analysis from LastFootnote, originally posted on the forum. A Favorite Card of Mine Let’s be honest here: Mine is probably most famous for being the card everyone … Continue reading

Dominion: Library
Library is the most unusual of the +Cards Actions. Because you don’t draw a set number of cards, but rather up to 7, it responds poorly to Throne Room but does quite well with small hands (normally a drawback). Preferably, … Continue reading
Dominion: Laboratory
The benchmark against which every other $5 card is measured. Laboratory was the first Dominion card released with such delicious self-synergy: unlike +Actions/+Cards engines, Laboratory chains can’t sputter because it drew its cards in the wrong order. And there’s no … Continue reading

Dominion: Market
It pains me to say this, but Market is one of the worst $5 cards in the game. Don’t get me wrong: Markets are definitely good, as a non-terminal Action that provides +$1 and +1 Buy, and therefore readily spammable. … Continue reading
Dominion: Chapel
This is the best card in the game. Simply put, no other card fundamentally alters the game as much as Chapel and its deceptively simple ability. In the base game, Chapel was so important that Dominion was essentially two different … Continue reading
