}}<br />
<br />
'''Guildhall''' is a [[Project]] from [[Renaissance]]. Once you claim this ability, every [[Treasure]] card you gain comes with a [[Coffers]] token.<br />
<br />
== FAQ ==<br />
=== Official FAQ ===<br />
* This happens whether you gain a Treasure due to buying it, or some other way.<br />
<br />
== Strategy ==<br />
<br />
Guildhall tends to make moneyish strategies faster, as the Coffers smooth out the economy and make it easier to hit price points, especially {{Cost|8}} for {{Card|Province}}.<br />
<br />
=== Combos ===<br />
<br />
Guildhall often combos with [[Gainer#Silver_gainers|treasure gainers]].<br />
<br />
- With {{Card|Beggar}}, you can get +3 Coffers every time Beggar is played for a net of {{Cost|6}}.<br />
<br />
- With {{Card|Ill-Gotten Gains}} (IGG), leads to a very fast Province rush. After buying Guildhall on the first {{Cost|5}}, each IGG buy gives you a Coffer, making it easy to hit {{Cost|5}} for IGG on the next turn. Additionally, when played, IGG gives better economy than {{Card|Gold}}: you gain a {{Card|Copper}} to your hand and a Coffer. After 4-5 IGGs, you can usually buy Province every turn<br />
<br />
- {{Card|Treasure Trove}}<br />
<br />
- {{Event|Banquet}}<br />

- {{Event|Delve}}<br />

'''Exploration''' is a [[Project]] from [[Renaissance]]. It reward you with +1 [[Coffers]] and +1 [[Villager]] for ending your [[Buy phase]] without buying any cards.<br />
<br />
== FAQ ==<br />
=== Official FAQ ===<br />
* This only cares if you bought a card in your Buy phase; it does not care if you gained cards other ways, or if you bought an [[Event]] (from {{Set|Adventures}} and {{Set|Empires}}) or [[Project]].<br />
* For example if all you buy on your turn is Exploration, you will get +1 Coffers and +1 Villager that turn.<br />
=== Other rules clarifications ===<br />
* Exploration only cares if you bought cards in the Buy phase whose ending triggered Exploration; this can matter when your turn has multiple Buy phases due to {{Card|Villa}}.<br />
== Strategy ==<br />
<br />
=== Overview ===<br />
Exploration is most useful on turns when you would not buy cards anyway, such as:<br />
*When buying [[Event]]s or other [[Project]]s<br />
*Turns when you trash most of your hand, such as with {{Card|Chapel}} or {{Card|Steward}}, and cannot afford anything<br />
*The turn you play {{Card|Tactician}}<br />
*Turns that dud<br />
<br />
Sometimes it can be worth sacrificing your buys to save up [[Coffers]] tokens to spike an important early purchase, such as {{Event|Inheritance}}, or to save the [[Villager]] for the following turn to prevent a [[collision]]. Exploration can also be a nice addition to a [[big money]] strategy.<br />
<br />
=== Synergies/Combos ===<br />
*[[Event]]s, especially {{Event|Mission}}<br />
*{{Card|Black Market}}<br />
*{{Card|Tactician}}<br />
*Heavy trashing<br />
*[[Big money]]<br />

|text = Gain a card to your hand costing up to {{Cost|4}}. If it's a Treasure, '''+1 Villager'''.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Sculptor''' is an [[Action]] card from [[Renaissance]]. It [[Gainer|gains]] a card to your hand, and gives you a [[Villager]] if you gained a [[Treasure]].<br />
<br />
== FAQ ==<br />
=== Official FAQ ===<br />
* The card is gained to your hand; that is not optional. <br />
* If you gain a {{Card|Nomad Camp}} (from {{Set|Hinterlands}}) with this, it goes to your hand.<br />
<br />
== Strategy ==<br />
=== Overview ===<br />
Sculptor, much like {{Card|Artisan}}, draws its power from the fact that the card is gained to your hand instead of your discard pile. Unlike {{Card|Artisan}}, however, you do not reduce your hand size, which allows for some powerful synergies, mentioned below. It can be tricky when considering whether to get [[Action]]s or [[Treasure]]s, so it is worth closer examination.<br />
<br />
=== Deck impact ===<br />
How does Sculptor affect your deck?<br />
<br />
* '''Accelerated building''': Like other [[gainer]]s, you will be able to pick up more engine pieces. Unlike the cheaper {{Card|Workshop}}, Sculptor may enable you play the gained card right away, preventing any tempo loss other than the action Sculptor consumed. However, in order to play the gained card you need a spare action, or to have gained a Treasure (usually this will be a {{Card|Silver}}).<br />
* '''In turn flexibility''': Did you run out of draw, or need an extra buy, but have actions to spare? Sculptor is here to help you out: much like {{Card|Artisan}}, Sculptor can save you from those bad turns in which your deck wasn't on your side. Unlike {{Card|Artisan}}, you can't gain and topdeck an Action if you're out of [[terminal]]s this turn, but that's where [[Villager]]s from earlier in the game or a [[Village (card category)|village]] played earlier this turn helps.<br />
* '''Villager buffer''': Having at least one Villager is a huge help that will make your deck much more consistent, and is almost always something you want. While Sculptor does not excel in that regard, it is certainly a nice upside to be able gain a {{Card|Silver}} to potentially save you at some later time. <br />
* '''Increased need of villages''': Playing Sculptor and the card you gained will consume two actions. While Sculptor can gain a village to hand, which makes it action-neutral, you need a village or Villager ready first. Having an extra village already in your deck helps make use of Sculptor's full potential.<br />
<br />
=== Use in engines ===<br />
When you are building an engine and drawing your deck, gaining a {{Card|Silver}} is rarely the right move. Many players commonly make the mistake of gaining a {{Card|Silver}} when they would not be able to gain an Action and play it immediately. Gaining a {{Card|Silver}} is best limited to when<br />
#You need to spike your economy ''this turn'' to afford something that impacts the game majorly, such as {{Event|Inheritance}} or {{Project|Citadel}}, or<br />
#You know you will have [[terminal draw]] or a [[collision]] in your next hand, and getting +1 Villager now will save your upcoming turn.<br />
<br />
=== Use in money decks ===<br />
While Sculptor on its own is not enough to make [[Big money|money]] dominant or competitive on most boards, it is a significant boost to a deck already pursuing a money strategy. In these decks, {{Card|Silver}} is something you happily add, and that turns Sculptor into a much better {{Card|Explorer}}, until late into the game. Compared to {{Card|Explorer}}, you either get an extra Villager when gaining a {{Card|Silver}} or have the option to make use of Sculptor's great flexibility to gain whatever you currently need.<br />
<br />
=== With cost reduction ===<br />
Sculptor has synergies with [[cost reduction]] that are very important:<br />
#Sculptor can gain cards costing {{Cost|5}} or more (including {{Card|Duchy}} and Sculptor itself), which are usually much more powerful than cards costing {{Cost|4}} or less.<br />
#A single Sculptor lets you can gain as many Sculptors as you have unused actions or Villagers. You can empty the Sculptor pile with a single Sculptor if you have claimed {{Event|Academy}} or played {{Card|Champion}}.<br />
#[[Throne Room variant|Throne Rooms]] allow you to empty both their pile and the Sculptor pile, without additional actions. Play one Throne Room, then you will enter a loop of playing another Throne Room and a Sculptor to gain a Throne Room and a Sculptor. With {{Card|Procession}}, you can also pile any other pile costing {{Cost|5}} or {{Cost|6}}.<br />
#Using a single {{Card|Scepter}} on Sculptor also allows you to empty the Sculptor and {{Card|Scepter}} piles without needing extra actions.<br />
<br />
=== Synergies/Combos ===<br />
* [[Cost reduction]]<br />
* [[Big money|Money]] decks<br />
* [[Village (card category)|Village]]s<br />
* Strong cards costing {{Cost|4}} or less that you want many of<br />
* Alt treasure costing {{Cost|4}} or less, such as {{Card|Quarry}} or {{Card|Potion}}<br />
*{{Project|Capitalism}} allows you to gain cards better than silvers, get the villager, and play it this turn, such as {{Card|Militia}}, {{Card|Priest}}, or {{Card|Cargo Ship}}<br />

'''Research''' is an [[Action]]-[[Duration]] card from [[Renaissance]]. It is a [[trash-for-benefit]] card that provides [[non-terminal draw]] for your next turn, functioning like a Duration {{Card|Apprentice}}. It is poor at trashing {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, {{Card|Curse|Curses}}, and [[Ruins]] and shines when used strategically to trash more expensive cards for huge starting hands.<br />
<br />
== FAQ ==<br />
=== Official FAQ ===<br />
* For each {{Cost|1}} the trashed card costs, you set aside the top card of your deck for next turn; for example if you trash a {{Card|Silver}}, you set aside the top 3 cards for next turn.<br />
* If there are not enough cards, just set aside as many as you can.<br />
* The cards are set aside face down; you can look at them and other players cannot.<br />

'''Patron''' is an [[Action]]-[[Reaction]] card from [[Renaissance]]. When played, it is a [[Disappearing money|disappearing silver]] that gives +1 [[Villager]]. When [[reveal]]ed, it gives +1 [[Coffers]].<br />
<br />
== FAQ ==<br />
=== Official FAQ ===<br />
* Anything that causes you to reveal a Patron, and specifically uses the word "reveal," causes you to get +1 Coffers.<br />
* For example if you play a {{Card|Border Guard}} and reveal two Patrons, you will get +2 Coffers.<br />
* Other players seeing a card, without the word "reveal" being used, is not enough; for example if another player plays a {{Card|Villain}} and you discard a Patron, you do not get +1 Coffers.<br />
=== Other rules clarifications ===<br />
* Once Patron is revealed, getting +1 Coffers is not optional.<br />
* If you play {{Card|Black Market}} and Patron is one of the 3 cards revealed from the Black Market deck, you get +1 Coffers<br />

''[http://dominionstrategy.com/2019/04/21/patron/ Original article] by Chris is me''<br />
<br />
===What does Patron do?===<br />
In simplest terms, Patron will convert a spare Action you may have into a Villager while also producing +{{Cost|2}}. Except in the case where you have no Actions remaining and no Villagers available, Patron is essentially strictly better than Silver. Patron also has a neat Reaction that will give you an extra Coffers when revealed by something.<br />
<br />
===Why is Patron’s on-play effect useful?===<br />
Patron gives you a Villager on-play while also doing something else (providing economy). Villagers are at their most powerful in the early game. Before you have thinned your deck and added a source of +Actions to it, an extra Villager or two can help you resolve terminal collisions, ensuring an otherwise unlucky shuffle doesn’t hurt your momentum. Additionally, the +{{Cost|2}} that Patron provides is useful early on for buying {{Cost|5}} cost cards. Sneaking in a Patron play or two in the first few shuffles thus ends up helping boost your momentum and consistency in this critical part of the game where bad luck could otherwise mess you up. In the worst case, where Patron collides with something else, you can still play both by immediately using the Villager.<br />
<br />
Later on in the game, you can use any extra Action plays you have left to stockpile Villagers with your Patrons, providing some extra insurance when greening. The peace of mind helps avoid dud turns when your +Actions doesn’t align perfectly with your +Cards to start the turn.<br />
<br />
Of course, there are also the many cases in which you’d prefer your economy to come from Action cards rather than Treasures. Patron can be drawn with {{Card|Scrying Pool}}, [[Throne Room variant|multiplied]] with {{Card|Throne Room}}, and skipped over by {{Card|Loan}}, to name just a few.<br />
<br />
Basically, while Patron isn’t going to give you a massive pile of Villagers the way cards like {{Card|Recruiter}} do, it is useful to have in your deck simply because just 1 or 2 Villagers can save games for you and help you keep momentum through otherwise awkward collisions.<br />
<br />
===When The Reaction Matters===<br />
Patron is fine for many decks without the Reaction, but if you can reliably and repeatedly get that extra economy boost, Patron can be an excellent card and the primary payload of a deck. A Patron revealed once per time it is played is essentially better than Gold, and with any potential for multiple reveals, the effect compounds from there.<br />
<br />
The best reveal cards for Patron tend to be nonterminal – they can be played frequently without a lot of other support, and they usually won’t use any of the Villagers Patron is stacking up. {{Card|Menagerie}} and {{Card|Hunting Party}} are two standout examples. Both reveal your whole hand on each play. Hunting Party is more powerful as it gives you some flexibility – you can either keep your Patrons in hand to stock up Coffers, or you can play them to grab your next Patron from the deck. Menagerie is a bit more awkward as it won’t play as effectively if you have multiple Patrons, but since Menagerie is so cheap, you can add them to a deck that doesn’t otherwise need them just for the economy boost. Patron is also an excellent addition to decks that use {{Card|City Quarter}} for draw, as City Quarter reveals your hand on play and the extra economy will help you buy the expensive City Quarters. Scrying Pool also gets a mention, because it reveals every Patron that you draw in a turn, and it is good for Scrying Pool decks to not have to rely on Silver or Gold for economy.<br />
<br />
There are many other useful reveal cards to look for. {{Card|Advisor}} is a nice one, as it is nonterminal. {{Card|Courtier}} is drawn to Patron’s dual-typing. {{Card|Journeyman}} is terminal, but you do reveal everything you draw with it (similarly {{Card|Royal Blacksmith}} reveals your hand after drawing). The list goes on.<br />
<br />
===Other Useful Synergies===<br />
{{Project|Capitalism}} merits a special mention as it allows you to use Patron as essentially a next-turn Village. All your Villagers are free when you play Patron in the Buy phase. Throne variants have been mentioned before, but also worthy of note is {{Card|Scepter}}, which can be used to squeeze out extra Villagers in the Buy phase if you need them.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, while Patron is one of the least flashy sources of Villagers, it should definitely be considered in any deck that can find space for it. The {{Cost|4}} cost can make it awkward to open, but in most cases, if you were going to open {{Card|Silver}}/{{Cost|3}} cost, you might as well make that Silver a Patron instead.<br />
