Trash this card. Gain a card costing up to . |
Feast is an Action card from the Base set. When you play Feast, you trash it and gain a card costing up to ; it's a one-shot card, so you don't get to keep the Feast to use again. It is a way to get to -cost cards without buying too many Silver cards.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- The gained card goes into your Discard pile.
- It has to be a card from the Supply.
- You cannot use from Treasures or previous Actions (like the Market) to increase the cost of the card that you gain.
- If you use Throne Room on Feast, you will gain two cards, even though you can only trash Feast once. Gaining the card isn't contingent on trashing Feast; they're just two things that the card tries to make you do.

There is no strategy article on Feast.
While it may seem that a Feast opening is a great way to get an early 5-cost card (and it is!), remember that an early Silver is almost as good at getting you to 5-cost cards, and don't automatically open Feast just because you want 5-cost cards.

Trivia
Secret History
At one point the 1st expansion had a "one-shot" theme. I eventually realized that that was a bad theme because some players don't like those cards. They don't like how the card doesn't stay in their deck, or something. I'm not too clear on it but I know there are haters out there. So I split that theme up, with some of the cards going into limbo. One-shots are different enough that I think they're worth doing sometimes, and well some people like them fine. But I might not even do one per set. The main set got this one as it's the least offensive; you do get to hold onto the card you fetch with it.
