| − | Expedition is a form of [[non-terminal draw]]; it increases the size of your next hand by 2 without having to spend an Action. That's as good as a double {{Card|Laboratory}} at a fraction of the price. The downside is, of course, that you have to buy it every turn in order to get the increased handsize, which makes it unsustainable as draw in an [[engine]] most of the time. That being said, it's often a decent buy when playing an engine if you happen to have a mediocre draw. Oftentimes, you don't want to add another {{Card|Silver}} to your deck, so you might as well set up a better turn for next time.

| − | Expedition shines whenever you can do something with the large handsize. One option is to use it to trash a lot of cards at once with {{Card|Forge}} or {{Card|Count}}, or get most of your Coppers in play at the same time to trash them with {{Card|Mint}}. Another option is to enable hitting a high price point early in the game, so you can get your first {{Card|Altar}}, {{Card|King's Court}}, {{Card|Prince}} or {{Card|Province}} (on a {{Card|Tournament}} board) ASAP. Finally, you can use it to enable a megaturn next turn if you just happened to miss it. Especially megaturns with cost-reducers like Expedition, because you don't need the money anyway if everything is free.

| | Since Expedition increases your hand during Clean-up, most [[handsize attack|handsize attacks]] played by other players will almost completely nullify the Expeditions you bought, making this Event a risky purchase when such cards are available. | | Since Expedition increases your hand during Clean-up, most [[handsize attack|handsize attacks]] played by other players will almost completely nullify the Expeditions you bought, making this Event a risky purchase when such cards are available. |

| − | Although intuitively it makes most sense to go for Expedition in an engine, it's also usable in [[Big Money]] late game. The extra handsize might enable you to buy the last Province if your deck already has a lot of green in it, making it more useful than buying that extra Estate at times.

| − | {{Quote|Text= It's a pretty sweet option on an extra buy. You can forget it's there and not be too sad, and {{Card|Militia}}s can hose it, but uh, it's pretty ubiquitously useful.

| − | Expedition is hard to evaluate, which I do like. Sure sometimes there's nothing else worth getting and it's easy to go for Expedition. But often it's a question, how good is this really. It's easy to forget about too.

| |
| − | It's very nice when you're trying to draw your deck every turn, to have your hand always start out bigger. Helping you line up those villages and smithies.

| |
| − | People actually do buy it sometimes in games with {{Card|Militia}}s. Just, man, {{Card|Silver}} wasn't gonna be better, let's hope they don't have the {{Card|Militia}}. They don't always. And when they do it still wasn't worthless.
