Strategy
There's no strategy article on Dominate yet.
Dominate can resemble Colony in that it is an expensive source of a lot of VP that can reward slower engines that gradually build up to and give them a chance to catch up over faster money decks that top out at buying a Province. However, the similarity between Dominate and Colony is misleading, in a way that makes aiming for Dominate a weaker move than aiming for Colony. Unlike Colony, Dominate doesn't come with Platinum, a dense payload at a price point above Province—if you're going for Dominate, you're using the same resources a Province player would use, so it can be harder to build up a deck that can consistently reach the Dominate price point. Moreover, unlike Colony, buying Dominate depletes the Province supply as well—so you and the Province player are competing for the same cards. This means that the Province player can deny you Dominates by buying Provinces, but can't deny you Colonies.
Synergies and Combos
- Capital, Crown and Fortune can help reach 14 without a good engine.
- Treasury doesn't have to be discarded after buying Dominate.
