FAQ
Official FAQ
- This only trashes cards you have in play, not cards from your hand.
- You can trash zero, one, or two cards.
- This does not remove the
you got from playing those Treasures this turn. For example, with 5 Coppers in play and two Buys, you could pay for a Bonfire to trash two of the Coppers, then spend the other 
on a Peasant.
Strategy
Bonfire is an effective trasher for Coppers that you have in play. Since it trashes your target cards instantly when you buy it, Bonfire is faster at thinning your Coppers than many trashers which you have to buy and draw before using, although it is outclassed by faster options still, particularly those such as Chapel that can also target Estate and other non-playable junk.
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 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 
) on turn 3 or 4 if you open with Bonfire. While some opening buys that provide payload (such as Bounty Hunter or Baron) can remedy this, in most cases you will need to weigh this tradeoff between immediate thinning and delaying building. Since Bonfire cannot thin your Estates, it pairs very well with cards that can, like Remodel or Jack of All Trades. The very early thinning is also particularly useful alongside opening partners that benefit from especially rapid cycling, notably Travellers. 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 Coppers left to trash, so buying it to continue thinning in the early midgame is usually a good idea.
