| − | '''Duration draw''' is a collective term for abilities that increase the number of cards you have in hand at the start of your turn. Most of the effects that provide duration draw are [[Duration]] cards—hence the name—but there exist a number of [[landscape]]s and [[Reaction]] cards that can increase your hand size on a future turn as well. The primary use cases of duration draw effects depend on the amount of cards drawn. If an effect provides a net increase in handsize over all the turns it is active, it can fulfill a similar function to other draw cards. In any case, duration draw effects offer extra flexibility and reliability for your deck. | + | '''Duration draw''' is a collective term for abilities that increase the number of cards you have in hand at the start of your turn. Most of the effects that provide duration draw are [[Duration]] cards—hence the name—but there exist [[Event]]s, a [[Boon]], an [[Artifact]], and a [[Project]] with duration-draw effects as well, as well as [[Reaction]] cards that add themselves to your hand at the start of your turn. |

| − | {{Card|Horse}} [[gainer]]s (like {{Card|Supplies}}) work similar to duration draw because gaining a {{Card|Horse}} is similar to a future one-card handsize increase.
| + | Duration draw is valuable in [[engine]] decks because it increases the probability that you will be able to line up key engine components to start your turn; the effect is therefore similar to guaranteeing a [[non-terminal draw]] card in a normal-sized hand. The power of duration-draw cards is mitigated by the fact that as [[Duration]] cards, they remain in play for multiple turns, and can therefore be played less frequently than comparable non-Duration cards. Moreover, the benefit duration-draw cards provide is delayed; most of them provide little or no value on the turn you play them. One reason {{card|Wharf}} and {{card|Gear}} are considered very powerful cards is because they can provide ''both'' [[terminal draw]] when you play them and duration draw the next turn. |

| − | ==Strategy==
| + | Duration-draw cards often provide defense against [[handsize attack]]s, since they can allow you to re-draw to a full-size hand after being hit by an Attack like {{card|Militia}}. However, this is not true of the Events or Artifact with similar effects, because they increase your handsize ''before'' you're hit by the Attacks. |

| − | Most cheaper duration-draw cards, such as {{card|Haven}}, increase the size of your next hand by setting aside cards from your current hand to add to your hand later—thus increasing your handsize at the beginning of your next turn comes at the expense of being able to use those cards on the current turn. More expensive duration draw will typically just give you +Cards from your deck on your next turn, or occasionally cards set aside from somewhere other than your hand.

However, this is not true of effects that increase your handsize at the end of your turn, such as {{way|Way of the Squirrel}}. because they increase your handsize ''before'' you're hit by the Attacks and are therefore almost completely negated by such attacks. | + | |
