| + | A '''combo''' is a combination of two or more cards that synergize and make for an effective strategy on their own. In some combos, one card will make up for the other's weakness. In others, the two cards will play off each others' strengths. While combos of 3 or more cards are possible, unless one of these is a base card in every game (or at least one of the cards needed is simply a card ''class'', (e.g. [[Village (card category)|village]] or [[+Buy]]/[[gainer]]) rather than a specific card, it's unlikely that you'll be able to find the combo in many games. Such combos really fall into the category of strategies rather than merely simple combos. |

| − | The term '''combo''' is sometimes used to refer to a cohesive strategy that relies ''only'' on two (sometimes three) cards, often to the point of being centralizing in a given [[Kingdom]]. While combos of 3 or more cards are possible, unless one of these is a base card in every game (or at least one of the cards needed is simply a card archetype, e.g. a [[Village (card category)|village]] or [[+Buy]]/[[gainer]]) rather than a specific card, it's unlikely that you will encounter all three of those cards in a real game.

| − | The term "combo" has been used historically to refer to two cards which merely have [[synergy]] with each other without constituting a game-winning strategy by themselves, however, as more game-winning combos became available, this usage has fallen out of favor.
