Strategy
In essence, Cobbler is one of the many Workshop variants. It's a gainer that can gain a card up to , and as such, its strength depends wildly on the kingdom. Are there any cheap(ish) cards you want a ton of, or are most of the good cards fairly cheap on this board? If so, then Cobbler is likely to be a good card. Of course, an obvious downside it its fairly high cost of ; often if gainers are strong, you want one as early as possible, maybe even opening with it. Cobbler's cost makes this more difficult unless you happen to open /. Unfortunately, Cobbler also does not work with cost reduction as well as other gainers, since you're forced to use it at the start of your turn; only Bridge Troll and Ferry might work (Prince-ing a Bridge seems to be more trouble than it's worth).
Cobbler does have a couple of finesses, though, that set it apart from other gainers. The most important thing is that it gains cards to your hand, which means that your chances of having a dud hand are decreased. In this sense, it's somewhat similar to Transmogrify; with both cards, you're able to choose a card flexibly based on the other cards you have in hand, which helps your engine kick off. For example, if you have multiple terminals, gain a Village; if you have multiple villages, gain a Smithy.
