Strategy
Venture is a niche Kingdom Treasure whose primary use case is in a money deck with no (or very limited) draw but good Copper trashing. In this case, Venture functions similarly to a Peddler variant, cycling through your deck to dig for high-value Treasure cards. Outside this specific scenario, Venture tends to be weak. If you can’t trash Copper, Venture is often little better than an expensive Silver and is unlikely to be the best purchase at . On the other hand, if you can draw all your Treasures, Venture becomes an expensive Copper. Drawing cards is generally much stronger than digging for Treasures with Venture (because you can play Action cards), so it’s rare to use Venture if draw is an option, except perhaps in junk-heavy decks.
When Venture is playable, how good it is varies depending on how good the available Treasure cards are. Powerful Treasures that you want to make sure to find and play every turn such as Platinum and Bank make Venture better, as does the Project Capitalism.
