Heirloom strategy inclusion

As has been the case for every single other Heirloom/split/special other pile, I'm for including the paragraph on Lucky Coin, as it's a significant influence in all Kingdoms in which Fool appears, and only ever is relevant when Fool is present. I'm fine with duplicating that information to the Lucky Coin page (and linking back), but I don't see how removing the discussion about Lucky Coin from here is useful. --Terracubist (talk) 14:37, 31 January 2022 (EST)

The presence of Lucky Coin is a significant influence on kingdoms in which Fool appears, but it's a different card than Fool, and they have no direct interaction other than being present at the same time. I just don't think that a paragraph that says nothing about the strategy for how and when to use Fool belongs in the strategy section on the Fool page. I also don't think the Necropolis strategy section should contain advice on when to buy a Victory card to trash your Hovel. Ajd (talk) 01:52, 1 February 2022 (EST)

I don't think "direct interaction" is necessarily the bar that needs to be cleared here. Lucky Coin massively pushes money strats. Fool can sometimes work in money strats, and is therefore more viable as a direct result of its heirloom. The Necro/Hovel comparison doesn't seem equivalent, given you'd probably just write up all three at once on the Shelters page. There's enough commonality between the three that trying to divide out specifically what only applies to e.g. Hovel seems artificial and (more importantly) not that useful—as a player, I need to understand all these things at once, so the separation of knowledge is actively unhelpful. --Terracubist (talk) 13:32, 1 February 2022 (EST)

I note that the new strategy section for Colony doesn't have a paragraph about Platinum strategy that makes no mention of Colony. Ajd (talk) 17:49, 19 February 2022 (EST)

Hm, good point. Those should absolutely be linked. --Terracubist (talk) 14:24, 20 February 2022 (EST)
