First, it has stiff competition at the {{Cost|5}} price point—many {{Cost|5}} [[Attack]]s, draw, and trashers are of much higher priority. Second, what Archive actually does is sometimes outclassed by more conventional draw and trashing cards when they’re available—on a board with Laboratory and {{Card|Chapel}}, it’s possible you won’t really need Archive. With this in mind, Archive is actually least useful in [[kingdom]]s with heavy trashing and strong draw. |
Where Archive shines is when crucial [[engine]] components are missing. On boards with no +Actions, Archive’s ability to non-terminally increase hand-size looks pretty attractive. On boards with no Copper trashing, Archive is excellent at sifting through those Coppers and keeping them out of your deck to get to your payload faster. When Archive is in the kingdom, always look to see how it compares to other draw or thinning cards on the table—if they’re present, Archive may be of less use, but if they’re lacking, take care to consider Archive more highly in your deckbuilding process, as it might be the best patch for those missing pieces. | Where Archive shines is when crucial [[engine]] components are missing.
