Adventurer is an Action card from the Base set. Since it draws cards but does not give +Action; it is terminal card draw; since it finds Treasures and discards other cards, it can be considered a sifter. Since it costs as much as Gold, it is often difficult to find a good use for it, since in the absence of trashers, Adventurer is liable to just draw Coppers.

FAQ
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.

Strategy Article
There isn't a strategy article for Adventurer. It has been mentioned in this article by HiveMindEmulator, edited by theory.
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 
and will rarely be better than Gold in a BM deck with 7 Coppers in it. In pure BM (and engines too, for that matter), it’s basically always better to spend your terminals and purchases on something else.

Trivia
Secret History
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.
