Cantrip

Cantrip is the common slang term for any Dominion Kingdom card which offers +1 Action and +1 Card. It is essentially self-replacing (costing no net action to play it) and will usually offer some side benefit, such as the + Peddler offers or the +1 Action of Village.

The cantrip name is a recycled slang term from the Magic: The Gathering card game, which itself borrowed the term from Dungeons and Dragons.
