I am a little sceptical about this card. I guess in the best case scenario it works as a non-limited Roseroad, but you might be facing a deck that plays no Kingdom plots, especially now that we have the Summer and Winter agendas. That means you have to rely on your own Kingdom plots, but plots like Pentoshi, Noble Cause and Calling the Banners already have high gold, so you don't particularly need it that round. The plots where Baratheon could actually use 1 gold are Wildfire, Filthy Accusation, Confiscation, stuff like that, but the Stone Drum is useless there.
I guess Summons and Counting Coppers would be a little more comfortable with the Drum, but that's about all. Unless you play melee of course, where there is more chance a Kingdom is revealed in every round...
If I flip a Kingdom plot while my opponents flip a Naval, would I still gain one gold off of The Stone Drum, considering Naval only affects base gold value?
I was just about to ask the same thing. My thinking is the same as yours since Naval refers to "base" gold value.
Can anyone confirm that The Stone Drum would mean you still get 1 gold for your Kingdom plot even if your opponent plays Naval?
RRG entry for "Base Value":
"The value of a quantity before any modifiers are applied. For most quantities, it is also the printed value."
Printed value cannot be modified.
I cannot think of any quantities for which base value is *not* printed value.
You could imagine an event that turns into a character with STR 2. It's base value would be 2, but it's printed STR value would not be.
Wouldn't any card with a printed value of "X" have a base value that isn't the printed value? Whatever "X" is supposed to become is the base value?
Yep. Absolutely correct. Think Summer Harvest. It's printed income value is "X." It's base income value is whatever X is defined to be.
