Edek Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Did anyone have any success running Bayou Smugglers? They seem to be able to draw a lot of cards in a single activation and can mess around with the opponents Scheme Markers but I'm not sure it's worth it in the long run. What's your experience? I'm worried their card draw is too random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukemouse Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 The benefit of appraise is removing markers at range, the card draw is gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 They can mess with all Markers, not just Scheme Markers so consider them against Marker heavy crews. Though of course The Emissary is fierce competition. They can also naturally do stuff with Pianos and Pit Traps and such. Their main problem is that they kinda want to activate both early (for Shielded) and late (for messing up opponent's Markers) in the turn so it's a trade off. All in all they aren't bad as such after the errata but probably not essential, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OracleToronto Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 a very solid pick against a crew that is marker dependant or if you are playing in a crew that can drop a lot of markers (I have had a lot of success taking one in a Somer crew as the board get's just crop dusted in corpse markers lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 They are a defensive pick or a tricksy pick, they can move pianos and shadow markers and egg markers, webs, it's a rare ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zifnab Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Is she still a good add to a Ulix crew? Thinking of picking her up on Black Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. Ulix really likes his keyword and he doesn't do anything special with Markers so I think that he is one of the Bayou Masters with the least to gain from Smugglers, unfortunately.

Maniacal_cackle Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Aren't scheme markers like Ulix's whole thing? All his pigs drop them on death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, but moving them around isn't all that hot. Or, I mean, it could be, but the opportunity cost of hiring a Smuggler to do that is very high when you could instead hire another synergistic Fast Pig and just make more Scheme Markers. IMO Smuggler's marker shenanigans are good when they are utilized with markers that you have in a more limited supply and that effect enemy movement so mostly stuff like Pianos or Traps. Maybe the new Tidepools? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why some make extra room for brin, 2 extra cards a turn, a stacked deck and probably a bit of focus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moinetbeard Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 it's funny how this conversation has been going on slowly for like 2 years. I only wanted to add that i've enjoyed using the smuggler in tricksy for turbo charging my card draw, sometimes providing some enemy scheme markers for little lass to eat up and preventing sabotage in several games i've played! when i have uncle bogg i will probably swap out the smuggler, or even try them together with Mah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
