| − | Banish is an [[Exile|Exiling]] [[Event]], functioning in some ways like a mass [[trasher]], such as {{Card|Chapel}} or {{Card|Cemetery}}, except with the advantages that exiled victory cards still score and, after thinning is done, no "dead" trashers are left in your deck.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For example, Silver-Silver openings aiming to buy {{Cost|5}} cards will often result in a hand like Silver-Copper-Copper-Estate-Estate during the second pass through a deck. Banishing two Estates at that point will generally benefit a deck more than buying a cheap [[engine]] component.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Similarly, on the third pass through a deck, after playing a {{Cost|5}} card that draws cards, hands like Silver-Silver-Copper-Copper-Copper-Copper can Banish the Copper to rapidly thin a deck so that an engine begins to function.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The relative speed trade-offs between acquiring another engine component versus thinning a deck via Banish will often depend on what other cards are present. Non-terminal [[trash-for-benefit]] engine components, such as {{Card|Raze}}, {{Card|Forager}}, or {{Card|Junk Dealer}}, may be preferable to using Banish and delaying component purchases.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Effective mass trashing, of course, benefits all types of decks, not just engines. Banish does have a disadvantage compared to other mass trashers when the cards to trash, such as [[Ruins]] or [[Shelters]], have different names.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the late game, while [[greening]], Banish can exile multiple Provinces at once when drawing a hand with only {{Cost|4}}. Unless the game is about to end, this will generally help a deck more than buying an Estate. With {{Cost|5}} to {{Cost|7}} in hand, the decision to buy a Duchy versus Banish two Provinces is much tighter.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Without +Buy, though, Banish is mostly a tactical option useful just two or three times during a game.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Strategically, Banish functions differently than the exiling cards {{Card|Displace}}, {{Card|Sanctuary}}, or {{Card|Bounty Hunter}}, which lend themselves more to one-province-a-turn "lean and mean" decks than engines that buy multiple Provinces at once.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | With +Buy, Banish can keep a deck buying multiple Provinces from clogging during greening. This is particularly useful in {{Card|Colony}} games, to efficiently march through the Provinces before Colony engines can get going.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is less important in Province games, as an engine that buys several Provinces typically "fires" only once or twice before the game ends.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | However, Banish can be effective in [[Alt-VP]] games, where a smaller, faster engine with +Buy can purchase, say, multiple Duchies on one turn and then buy a {{Card|Duke}} while banishing several previous bought Duchies on the next to good effect. This approach can also work with {{Card|Gardens}}, {{Card|Silk Road}}, etc. Banish can thin {{Card|Gardens}} decks of Copper without harming their scoring.
