And another interesting rule that may not be common knowledge and that I have had clarified by Damon concerns the Artists Colony - Hastur Location. If the case is that both cards revealed are the same cost, then the active player DOES get to keep the card. Although not specifically the 'highest', there is a rule buried within the FAQ that when a player has 2 equal targets of the same cost / skill ( in the example it is the 'lowest' skill' I believe ) then the active player chooses the target out of all the available ones. This rule also carries over to the Artists Colony. It was explained in a convoluted post that went on about the emphasis of language and so forth so I will spare you the details as it only confuses the response which was to be short - yes the active player keeps cards of equal cost. It mat recieve an errata in the future but for now that is how it is played. A much better card now yes ??

only had a quick look at the card a short while ago, and the old subconcious deck builder has been running in the background, but from memory of the text, wouldn't you need just a single Festival in your starting hand to draw the next Festival from the deck into resource, and then from turn 2 have a free resource every turn?? for an initial outlay of 1 cost ??
it's a shame really. something is proven to be a winning strategy (ie resource ramping), and for some reason it's deemed suitable to exascerbate the problem with MORE resource ramping in a way that is far easier to do. go figure. no complaints though. just an increasing apathy towards continuing with the game (still haven't bought Seekers).
i'm simply not understanding the designers. if it only takes 10 minutes of not really thinking about it to already see the ridiculous loop mentioned above, then what is the intelligence quotient of those leading the process here?? or do they simply not care about the ripple effects and combos that occur with their decisions, as long as we shell out our all important dollars to keep them happy?? which of course i am no longer doing.
