− | === Why cost Debt? ===
| |
− | {{Quote|Text= Royal Blacksmith and {{Card|City Quarter}} are trying to cost a lot of {{Debt}}, and to make that work, they had to have abilities that you wouldn't want turn one. So Royal Blacksmith punishes you for having {{Card|Copper}}s, and {{Card|City Quarter}} depends on you having a bunch of Actions. They could have had normal costs... but, the entire idea was to have {{debt}}. People loved [[debt]] so that all worked out, it's okay that I made cards with [[debt]] costs.

− | === Retrospective ===
| |
− | {{Quote|Text=
| |
− | Royal Blacksmith is a great fit for a [[debt]]-cost, and a fine if dull card to print; I totally would try it for less debt these days though, see how that went. In general things that you don't want early can be cheaper due to that.

− | Staring at the card list [for Empires], there are a few cards people complain about for different reasons, but really, there's nothing say {{Card|Fortune Teller}} level, or {{Card|Mountebank}} level. The standout to replace is Royal Blacksmith. And I mean, sure it could be stronger, but that's not bad for worst card.
