'''Adventurer''' is an [[Action]] card from the first edition of the [[Base]] set. It is a [[terminal]] Action that [[dig|digs]] for [[Treasure]] cards in your deck. Since it costs as much as {{Card|Gold}}, it is often difficult to find a good use for it: in the absence of efficient [[trasher|trashers]], Adventurer is liable to just draw {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} and therefore produce less money per turn than Gold; if trashing is easy, it is often possible to put together an [[engine]] deck that doesn't contain very many Treasure cards and can use cheaper cards than Adventurer to draw the Treasures it does contain.

== Strategy ==
There isn't a strategy article for Adventurer. It has been mentioned in [http://dominionstrategy.com/2012/06/13/terminal-draw-big-money/ this article] by HiveMindEmulator, edited by theory.
+
Adventurer is similar to a [[terminal draw]] card that is guaranteed to draw two [[Treasure|Treasures]]. Like {{Card|Moat}}, it only increases hand size by one, but for triple the cost.
  
If I asked you to enumerate the [[terminal draw]] cards, you’d probably forget Adventurer. I know I did at first. Technically, it’s terminal and it draws 2 cards, and like Library it guarantees no [[dead]] actions, and even no [[Victory]] cards! Sounds great, but the problem is that it costs {{Cost|6}} and will rarely be better than Gold in a [[Big Money|BM]] deck with 7 Coppers in it. In pure BM (and [[engine|engines]] too, for that matter), it’s basically always better to spend your terminals and {{Cost|6}} purchases on something else.
+
In [[engine|engines]] which aim to draw the entire deck every turn, Adventurer is often undesirable as it will be unable to find any Treasures. It also has the unfortunate side effect of skipping the Actions you may have wanted to play in that shuffle.
  
This card can fill a late-game niche, if the board supports it - namely, it helps you gain a late {{Card|Province}}.  The most important consideration is that Adventurer is almost never worth it if you can't get rid of your Coppers. When you can trash your Coppers, Adventurer reliably draws {{Cost|4}} or more every time it is played.  Late in the game when all of your Treasures are diluted by a large number of Victory cards, engines often grind to a halt and most terminals won't be as likely to earn you a Province.  Relying on Adventurer to get you a late Province can be risky, though, since it's at its strongest precisely when the game is close to its end - and with that {{Cost|6}}, you could've bought a {{Card|Duchy}} instead, supply pile permitting.
+
In [[Big Money|money]] strategies, Adventurer is almost never better than Gold, which has the same cost. Adventurer draws fewer cards than {{Card|Smithy}}, and in most cases its [[Sifter|sifting]] ability does not compensate for it.
  
{{Card|Venture}} massively outclasses Adventurer on most boards and in most phases of the game, due to it costing less and being a Treasure rather than a terminal action.  However, the two work together fairly well in any situation in which Adventurer would otherwise be viable, if you have [[+Buy]] to support it.
+
Adventurer becomes slightly more useful in [[Kingdom]]s with strong [[junker]]s (e.g. {{Card|Witch}}) and Treasure-trashing (e.g. {{Card|Moneylender}}) as the only trashing. Without {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, Adventurer is more likely to find your better Treasures, and can also sift through the {{Card|Curse|Curses}}.
 
+
If the best strategy on the board is some sort of {{Card|Counterfeit}}-BM hybrid, consider picking up an Adventurer or two to supplement it.  Counterfeit clears away those nasty Coppers, does not compete with Adventurer's price, and can give a handy +Buy.
+
 
+
It is worth bearing in mind that, if using an Adventurer-[[Big Money]] strategy, this is liable to be weakened if other players are deploying [[Treasure]]-based [[trashing attack|trashing attacks]] or attacks that give {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} (e.g. {{Card|Mountebank}}, {{Card|Noble Brigand}}).
+
 
+
=== Synergies/Combos ===
+
* Trashing, especially trashing to get rid of Coppers - {{Card|Moneylender}}, {{Card|Spice Merchant}}, {{Card|Counterfeit}}.
+
* In heavy [[curser]] (without {{Card|Mountebank}}) games, Adventurer is better than other sources of terminal draw.
+
* High-value treasures, most notably {{Card|Platinum}} and {{Card|Bank}}, increase the value of this card.
+
* {{Card|Bandit Camp}} increases the expected coin value generated by this card while also lowering the risk of a terminal collision. This combo is a natural fit for an engine strategy.
+
* Gaining this card with {{Card|Procession}} is usually better than gaining nothing at all, and {{Cost|6}} Action cards are scarce.  If you manage to {{Card|Procession}} your Adventurer, you will almost surely be able to buy a Province that turn, and possibly more if you have +Buy.  You shouldn't mindlessly trash {{Cost|5}} cards in favor of this one, though.
+
* An empty Duchy pile and a {{Cost|6}}-{{Cost|7}} hand is often an Adventurer's best friend.  At this point, the game has likely become a slog, and other drawing cards will have a hard time beating a late-game Adventurer's money output, leaving {{Card|Estate|Estates}} and [[Alt-VP|alternate VP]] cards as the main competition.
+
 
+
=== Antisynergies ===
+
* [[gainer|Gainers]] that add {{Card|Copper}} to the deck, such as {{Card|Ill-Gotten Gains}} or {{Card|Treasure Trove}}, or where {{Card|Copper}}-givers such as {{Card|Noble Brigand}} or {{Card|Mountebank}} are in use in the game.
+
* Typically is worse than other sources of terminal draw.

Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal 2 Treasure cards. Put those Treasure cards into your hand and discard the other revealed cards.

Adventurer is an Action card from the first edition of the Base set. It is similar to a terminal draw card that only draws Treasures, and was removed in the second edition of the base Dominion game. It is considered to be one of the weakest cards in the entire game.

[edit] Official FAQ

  • If you have to shuffle in the middle, shuffle. Don't shuffle in the revealed cards as these cards do not go to the Discard pile until you have finished revealing cards.
  • If you run out of cards after shuffling and still only have one Treasure, you get just that one Treasure.

Adventurer is similar to a terminal draw card that is guaranteed to draw two Treasures. Like MoatMoat.jpg, it only increases hand size by one, but for triple the cost.

In engines which aim to draw the entire deck every turn, Adventurer is often undesirable as it will be unable to find any Treasures. It also has the unfortunate side effect of skipping the Actions you may have wanted to play in that shuffle.

In money strategies, Adventurer is almost never better than Gold, which has the same cost. Adventurer draws fewer cards than SmithySmithy.jpg, and in most cases its sifting ability does not compensate for it.

Adventurer becomes slightly more useful in Kingdoms with strong junkers (e.g. WitchWitch.jpg) and Treasure-trashing (e.g. MoneylenderMoneylender.jpg) as the only trashing.

[edit] Trivia

Official card art.

Donald X. has described VentureVenture.jpg as "to some degree a fixed version" of Adventurer.

[edit] Secret History

For a while the main set did not have an action costing $6. I thought it would be good if it did. At some point we decided to go with 25 Kingdom cards (it was 25, then 20, then 25 again), so there was space for a 6, and I went looking through the expansions for the most appropriate one - something interesting but not too weird that wasn't too tied to its expansion. I took Adventurer from the 7th expansion. I don't know how many expansions Dominion will actually get, all printed and everything, but my friends were insatiable, so I cranked out a lot of cards.


Those of you noting that Dark Ages is the 7th expansion, and that in the Secret History for Dominion I say that Adventurer came from the 7th expansion: that 7th expansion was the top-of-deck one. Ditto for Shanty TownShanty Town.jpg.

[edit] Why does it cost 6?

Adventurer looked like it should cost $6, somehow. It cost $6. We bought it some, seemed fine. We never tried it at $5, or talked about trying it at $5, or anything. Several early cards have the same story. It was a while before "should this thing we're buying nevertheless be cheaper" was a thing (or knowing not to buy the thing and so making it cheaper because we weren't buying it).

[edit] Second Edition Removal

This was the 6th card cut. My playtesters were pretty sure they didn't need to see more of it, and then I played some games with it, and man, it was not good. For casual players, it costs $6, GoldGold.jpg costs $6, if you want Adventurer you often want Gold first, maybe you never get around to Adventurer. Expert players will instead cite, it draws two cards and only gets Treasures, SmithySmithy.jpg is cheaper, draws three, and can get Actions too.
