[edit] FAQ
[edit] Official FAQ
- After the Curse pile is empty, playing this still lets each other player trash a Curse from their hand.
- A player who is unaffected by Old Witch, such as due to Moat, neither gains a Curse nor may trash one.
[edit] Other Rules clarifications
- The Curse is gained before you may trash one. So you can gain a Curse, react with Sheepdog, draw a Curse, and then trash that Curse.
[edit] Strategy
While the first play of an Old Witch is strictly better than the first play of a Witch, subsequent plays of it allow the drawback to be felt. Generally, in games with no curse trashing, Witch may be better, which is why in simulations, Witch/Big Money beats Old Witch/Big Money. But in games with good trashing that become more engine like, the extra card on Old Witch is more helpful, and the drawback matters less because the opponent may be able to trash the curse anyway. But even if every curse is trashed from the opponent's hand the first time they draw it, Old Witch can still be thought of as "+3 Cards. Each other player receives their -1 Card token.", so it is still strong even if you get unlucky.
[edit] Synergies
- Relative to other junkers, Old Witch is not as concerned about a kingdom having good trashing.
- Your handsize attack if played before Old Witch since the opponent has to choose between discarding curses (and unable to trash them) or leaving a curse to trash and get a 2-card hand this turn.
[edit] Antisynergies
- An opponent's Watchtower can trash the incoming curse while allowing them to trash a curse from their hand, and will then also draw an extra card after trashing it.
- Sleigh can put the gained curse into your hand, then you can immediately trash it.
