| + | |
| − | * Players can't look through the Loot pile during a game.

| − | When you're drawing your deck, one that doesn't make you {{Cost|3}} every turn is weakest. {{Card|Figurehead}} for example. You can credit tracer for fighting to reduce how many of those survived. When you need to get your +Buy from a Loot, one with no +Buy is weakest.

| − | {{Card|Endless Chalice}} can sink you - you're playing {{Card|Pickaxe}} and counting on that +{{Cost|3}} and no, {{Card|Endless Chalice}}. You can also be envied for it though.

| − | The initial idea was to have the Loot be all over the place in terms of abilities; it always had to try to be balanced power-level wise, since you get a random one. The more exotic abilities were problems, they'd be nuts sometimes, and gradually the effects got closer and closer, until almost all of them give +{{Cost|3}} and a lot of them give +Buy. But this is all, keeping as much variety as I can while making them as close as possible power-level-wise.

| − | In the file they were "rewards." When I tried them they were "valuables." Loot was the perfect name, if you didn't care that there were unrelated [[Looter]]s in {{Set|Dark Ages}}, and well eventually I didn't care. The premise was random treasures that cards could give you, that would be worth about the right amount. It's like the set has a bunch of cards that say "gain a {{Card|Gold}}," only they're more exciting. There was a lot more variety at first but that didn't work out, you were too likely to get something crazy this game or awful this game. In the end they almost all make {{Cost|3}} and a lot make +1 Buy. Cade was always drawing his deck, and hated the ones that you only got to play every other turn (due to being a duration), so some of those changed into every-turn things.

| − | I still like Loot, I see it all the time playing against the TGG bot and I never regret it. I can see the argument for putting +Buy on {{Card|Doubloons}} and {{Card|Insignia}}, and for me the stronger argument of trying to have +Buy on the loot-gainers that make +buy-envy the worst, though that's not so helpful on {{Card|Search}}.
