I appreciate this new feature also. One tweak I wish would be made is to move where "Kingdom/Play Area" appears above the log. While this feature might be used more now while it's new, in general use "Trash/Log" will be used far, far more often and I personally wish it would be returned to the left end of the clickable options above the log.

Seconded.

I just played a BM game, in which Possession appeared in the black market for my opponent.  Fortunately, he didn't buy it, but it struck me as odd, since Possession is still listed as a banned card.  Does that not apply to the BM deck?

That's correct. If there are Potion cards in the kingdom, Possession is still eligible for the BM deck.

For me this is only an issue when spectating, and then the issue is not so much that some cards are upside down, it's that cards in hand are a different orientation than those in play.

For example, the "top player" has upside down cards in hand, but right-side up cards in the play area. I often get screwed up over whose turn I'm watching.

If I play one Overlord as a Caravan and another Overlord as a Fishing Village, then at the start of my next turn they show up as a single 2-card stack with one of the card names on top.

This is just a display issue.

Why does the Guardian go to the discard pile during the action phase?

But, even if it did, it would still protect you. The key is that it is out when the Swamp Hag is PLAYED, not when you would suffer the effects of the Swamp Hag.

There's a slightly similar issue with Secret Passage, where it uses the term 'topdeck' quite loosely.

This has never tripped me up, but I see how it could be confusing, since "Remodel" isn't a keyword defined in the game.

"Trash/gain' is more accurate, if a little cumbersome.

I want to leave the step, just show me my hand after I click start.

Oh, I gotcha. Yeah, it seems weird to force a wait there.

The point of the opening screen is to show what alternate starting cards are present in your deck.

How would you do that AND show what your starting hand is, without adding another step?

Sometimes it doesn't feel quite enough to blacklist a member, when they are doing strange things to annoy you.
I just got beeten by a stronger member, and I have no problem with that. I learn from it, but then he og she doesn't end the game after having bought the last Province, because he/she still has buys. I ask, what we are waiting for, and he/she says: wait for it..., and when I ask for what, he/she says: I have not ended my turn yet, I want to make you wait some, just for fun. I tell her/him, that I have taken a screenshot, and then he/she ends the game - but he/she can still annoy others even if I blacklist her/him?

That sounds like more than enough reason to blacklist, in my book. Just ask yourself: "do I want to play another game with this person?"

If the answer is 'no', then blacklist them.

Some discussion was done about cards like Golem, were the 'which card is played first' problem came up. Can you tell which situations you are having the confusion? Is it generally for cards like Cartographer or Patrol that may routinely ask you to reorder cards or is it for a spefic card or cards? I totally understand that if something goes against intuition, it is hard to work against it and should be avoided if possible.

Ghost Ship is the most common offender, especially when you have cards like Ironmonger, Will-o'-Wisp or Wishing Well.

There's no indication which card has gone where. It's worse when you are topdecking more than 2 cards.

The order that cards go back on your deck is still occasionally confusing to me. By that I mean, I may "know" how it works, but I have to think about it -- and honestly, I'd rather be thinking about my turn or my strategy than figuring out the interface.

IMO -- for whatever it's worth -- that's a pretty weak undo denial, but also pretty childish behavior after that. The best thing to do is resign and blacklist there. You obviously have different opinions on what constitutes sporting behavior.

This is yet another reason why I don't ever want to see "new information" be a criterion for automatic denial. This undo had nothing to do with the information revealed; it was simply a misclick/interface issue.

Maybe another reason for a personal banned card list?

Here's my feedback:

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
Little interest. I would probably play it if it existed, but it's not stopping me from subscribing or playing more than I should.

2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
Moderate interest

3. A strong bot.
Moderate interest

4. Options for timed games
Zero interest

5. Options for undo settings
I don't ever want to see automatic denials of Undo requests. I don't mind the current system, but I would like to see some information in the request about what is potentially being Undone.

6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
Moderate interest. As others have stated, the option to play a "Match" of a few games against someone could be a nice complementary feature to this.

7. Option to invite specific players to your table
Yes. Presumably these would be private tables?

8. More translations (to what language?)
Not important to me.

9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
Not important to me.

10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
This would be nice. Additionally: displaying States resulting from Hexes would be nice (e.g. Envious and Deluded). The Hex card is displayed, but that doesn't tell you what the state does. You can click on it in the log, but during your opponent's turn that is literally a moving target.

10. Option to hide the log
I'm not sure I would ever do this if given the option, but I would like to play without having to click in the log.

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
Not important to me.

12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
Used to be important to me, now I doubt its feasibility due to screen size. 

13. Downloadable game logs
Very, very interested in this, mostly because people in the community will do Cool Stuff with the data.

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
Hasn't been an issue for me.

15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
Not important to me.

16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.
Not important to me.

All of a sudden, and unlike previously, in about 90% of my randomly searched games this past month, the cards have been about 90% base set. Did something change? Am I doing something wrong?

Did your subscription run out?
