Strategy
There is no strategy article for Dungeon, but it has been discussed on the forum.
Dungeon is a decent sifter, and a very close relative of Warehouse, except for the fact that it is a Duration. On play, it is weaker than Warehouse, since you only get to pick the best 4 cards out of 6 instead of 4 out of 7. On the other hand, next turn you will be able to pick the best 5 cards out of 7, which is nice.
Most players agree, however, that Warehouse is not a card you just want to play anytime you have it in your hand - it is best used to align certain cards you want to draw together. Examples include Baron with an Estate, Tournament with a Province, Urchin with another Attack and Treasure Map with another Treasure Map. Another reason to use a sifter like Dungeon or Warehouse is to get to your key cards faster; you might want to upgrade your Traveller, or play your Mountebank more often. In some cases, though, you want to avoid decreasing your handsize or triggering a shuffle by playing Warehouse. Dungeon has the weakness of being more inflexible than Warehouse; once you get it into play, you can't decide not to use it next turn. On the other hand, in a pinch, Dungeon can save a turn that would otherwise be a dud, not unlike Guide.
In the List of Cards by Qvist Rankings from late 2015, Dungeon ranks 18th among cards, which is somewhere in the middle of the road, 3 places below Warehouse and 2 below Guide.
