There is no strategy article for Bonfire, but it has been discussed on the [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=14801.0 forum.]

Bonfire is a strong and quick way of trashing your Coppers. Compared to other power trashers such as {{Card|Steward}} and {{Card|Remake}}, Bonfire trashes even quicker because you can start with it right away, without having to wait a shuffle first. Of course, Bonfire has a couple of glaring downsides; for one thing, you cannot trash {{Card|Estate}}s with them, because you cannot get them into play (the only edge case being {{Event|Inheritance}} - in which case you probably don't want to trash them). Another downside is that buying Bonfire doesn't do anything good to your economy; in fact, because you're trashing two Coppers, it actively hurts your economy. This is why opening with two Bonfires is almost always a bad idea. If you open Bonfire (which can be very strong, mind you), you really want a power {{cost|3}} or {{cost|4}} along with it to boost your economy.

So if you decide to open Bonfire, what should you pair up with it? One good option includes a gainer, such as {{Card|Ironworks}} or {{Card|Workshop}}. This is especially nice if there are other good {{cost|3}} or {{cost|4}} cards you want - cheap and strong [[engine]] components such as {{Card|Village}} or {{Card|Smithy}}. A terminal source of money also works. Something like {{Card|Monument}} works well; you really want to play it as much as possible, which is made possible by the exceptionally quick trashing that Bonfire provides. Another good option is {{Card|Baron}}, since the early Copper trashing almost guarantees that your Baron finds an Estate to discard. An extra benefit of trashing with Bonfire in the opening is that the other card you buy is guaranteed to show up on turn 3 or 4.
+
== Strategy ==
 
+
Bonfire is an effective {{Card|Copper}} [[thinning|thinner]]. Since it trashes two {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} instantly when you buy it (and you can use the targeted {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} themselves to help pay for it), it is faster than many trashers which you have to buy and draw before using, although it is outclassed by faster options still, particularly those such as {{Card|Chapel}} that can also target {{Card|Estate}} and other kinds of [[junk]].  
Bonfire excels when combined with cards that like trashing Estates, but Coppers not so much. [[Trash for benefit]] cards come to mind; cards like {{Card|Remodel}} or {{Card|Apprentice}} like to kill Estates, but prefer not to waste time on Coppers, because they can't do quite as much with cards that cost {{cost|0}}. In this case, you can use the trash for benefit card to get rid of Estates, and use Bonfire to remove the Coppers from your deck.
+
  
Bonfire can also be useful later in the game. A cute trick with Bonfire not mentioned before includes trashing [[Ruins]] from play (it can't get rid of {{Card|Curse}}s in any way, unfortunately). It's not the best way of trashing Ruins, though, since you have to get them into play first, and you'd probably want to save the [[terminal]] space for cards that are actually useful. You can do the same with other early-game cards you want to get rid of, such as {{Card|Potion}} after the {{Card|Scrying Pool}}s run out, or {{Card|Chapel}} after you finish trashing.
+
Buying a single Bonfire in the [[opening]] is often a good move to thin your deck before your very first [[reshuffle]]. This allows you to [[cycling|cycle]] more quickly and see your other early game buys more often. However, doing so immediately reduces your deck's economy and [[money density]], which means it may be difficult to hit important price points (particularly {{Cost|5}}) on turn 3 or 4 if you open with Bonfire. While some opening buys that provide [[payload]] (such as {{Card|Bounty Hunter}} or {{Card|Baron}}) can remedy this, in most cases you will need to weigh this tradeoff between immediate thinning and delaying [[build]]ing. Since Bonfire cannot thin your {{Card|Estate|Estates}}, it pairs very well with cards that can, like {{Card|Remodel}} or {{Card|Jack of All Trades}}. The very early thinning is also particularly useful alongside opening partners that benefit from especially rapid cycling, notably [[Traveller]]s. If there is no particularly good option to open together with Bonfire, it is usually preferable to delay the use of Bonfire until after the first or second reshuffle, buying it opportunistically when you miss more important price points. Even if you do open with Bonfire, you’ll likely still have many {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} left to trash, so buying it to continue thinning in the early midgame is usually a good idea.
 
+
Finally, there are a couple of tricks with cards that have an on-trash bonus. Trashing a {{Card|Squire}} from play can get you any Attack card - maybe you really want to win the {{Card|Minion}} split, or you would like to get a {{Card|Familiar}} or two without ever buying a {{Card|Potion}}. Trashing two {{Card|Hunting Grounds}} from play can yield two Duchies or six Estates - which might cause a surprise [[three-pile ending]]!
+
 
+
=== Synergies ===
+
* [[Gainer]]s: {{Card|Workshop}}, {{Card|Ironworks}}
+
* [[Trash for benefit]] cards that can do something with Estates
+
* {{Card|Baron}}
+
* Cards with on-trash bonuses: {{Card|Squire}}, {{Card|Hunting Grounds}}
+
* {{Card|Skulk}} makes your economy rebound instantly, and you can use Bonfire to trash excess Skulks.
+
 
+
=== Antisynergies ===
+
* [[Curser]]s, since Bonfire can't deal with Curses
+
* Power {{cost|5}} cards make the early economy sacrifice hurt more

[edit] Secret History

An obvious one. The first version trashed one card from your hand or from play; trashing from your hand is just too automatic though.

[edit] Donald X.'s opinion

Another nice trick with Bonfire is getting rid of your other trasher with it. Or another early game card you don't want anymore, e.g. PotionPotion.jpg.

[edit] 2022 Errata

Bonfire goes further, and only trashes CopperCopper.jpgs now. However sad that may seem, in practice it's almost identical to how it was before. Almost... identical. Bonfire needed to not trash other cards from play because this breaks the game at a basic level. Going into play "uses up" a card for the turn; letting you trash it lets you re-use it.
