Let's Play Dominion: An Experiment in Deckbuilding???

I feel like scout is basically a crappier version of smithy to be honest - at least for now. While it does let us see one extra card, we're planning on trashing all of our estates and so it will quickly become useless (until later when we get more nobles or start picking up provinces/duchies/dukes). Smithy does basically the same thing but it's always useable, plus it helps us go through our deck faster.
