Astrolabe is a powerful and versatile card, and buying at least one of them is beneficial in a wide range of circumstances. It is at the same price point as {{Card|Silver}} and offers the same total buying power, but spread over two turns, and it contributes buying power on the second turn without requiring a card to be played. On top of this, it gives +1 Buy on both turns. It is thus a reliable and powerful source of +Buy, and where +Buy is beneficial, it is much more valuable than a Silver. Furthermore, because it is not an action, there is no risk of drawing it dead, so it can be added to decks without +Actions cards, such as in a Terminal Draw Big Money strategy, to offer +Buy that is usually not available in these decks.
 
  
In an engine, it is often more desireable than terminal actions providing +Buy. By staying in play two turns but only taking up a space in the hand on one turn, it slightly reduces the chance that the engine will fail to start.
 
 
{{Card|Pendant}} makes Astrolabe particularly valuable, as Astrolabe being in play increases the value of Pendant, and the presence of Pendant in a deck with other Alt-treasure often reaches high values that benefit from +Buy.
