=== Secret History ===
{{Quote|Text=Late in the going, I had Events that handed out {{Card|Estate}}, {{Card|Province}}, {{Card|Curse}}, {{Card|Copper}}, {{Card|Silver}}, and {{Card|Gold}} (*checks other Events*... huh he's right); where was Duchy? This finally makes good use of an ability I'd tried in a few forms in previous sets, especially [[Hinterlands]].

=== Retrospective ===
{{Quote|Text=Annex is a dud, sure. It was part of a long line of duds and one of them finally made it out; at least it only takes up an Event slot.
