Another comparison that can be made is {{Card|Talisman}}. With Talisman, you can double a card up to {{cost|4}}. Ball is quicker than Talisman - you don't have to add the Talisman to your deck first, and there's also no expensive {{Card|Copper}} getting in the way of your other cards. However, it is more expensive, and it gets progressively more expensive with every use, since Ball, like all Events, is essentially a one-shot (you have to buy it over and over if you want to benefit from it multiple times). If you expect to benefit from getting an extra card very often, Talisman might be better in the long run; otherwise, if there's only one pile you want to run down quickly, Ball might be sufficient. | Another comparison that can be made is {{Card|Talisman}}.

| − | Something to keep in mind with Ball is that there is only one -1 Coin token, so if you buy two or more Balls in a single turn, you only get one token. Effectively, this means that the cost of every Ball beyond the first one is actually {{cost|5}}, instead of secretly {{ | + | Something to keep in mind with Ball is that there is only one -1 Coin token, so if you buy two or more Balls in a single turn, you only get one token. Effectively, this means that the cost of every Ball beyond the first one is actually {{cost|5}}, instead of secretly {{coin|1}} extra, like the first. Another cool trick is using Ball to circumvent penalties from buying cards, since Events are not considered cards, including {{Card|Haunted Woods}}, {{Card|Swamp Hag}} and {{Card|Embargo}}. You can also go for Ball on {{Event|Mission}} turns for the same reason. |
