+ Each other player with 5 or more cards in hand puts one onto their deck. At the start of your turn, you may play this from your hand. |
Clerk is an Action-Reaction-Attack card from the second edition of Prosperity. It is a handsize attack that causes opponents to return a card to their deck instead of discarding it, thus slowing down their cycling. It is a terminal silver, but can be played without using up an Action if it happens to be in your hand at the start of your turn.

[edit] FAQ
[edit] Official FAQ
- A player with no cards in their deck will have the card they put on top become the only card in their deck.
- At the start of your turn, you may play any number of Clerk cards from your hand, one at a time, without using up your regular Action play.
[edit] Other Rules clarifications
- You may use Clerk's self-playing start-of-turn ability before, between, or after other start-of-turn effects. For instance, if you draw Clerk due to the effect of Den of Sin, it's not too late to use Clerk's Reaction ability.

Trade Route is simply a very weak trasher. It also requires coin tokens, which the set would rather not include (or, would like to do a lot with, but it also had VP tokens).
I'd already covered replacing the trashing part; Clerk covers being another interactive card. It's the one-card Ghost Ship; it somehow ended up here instead of in Seaside. It hurts a lot less than Ghost Ship but still hurts plenty.
