Official FAQ
- When you gain or trash a Flag Bearer, you take the Flag.
- If Flag Bearer is trashed, the player trashing it takes the Flag, regardless of whose turn it is.
Strategy
The Flag is a very powerful artifact, effectively acting as if you started with a Laboratory in hand at the start of every turn. However, the Flag Bearer it comes with is terrible. If the Flag is taken, it is often necessary to contest the Flag by picking up a Flag Bearer yourself, starting a game of chicken where one player must eventually stop buying Flag Bearers in favor of better cards. Trashers work especially well with Flag Bearer, since they give a way to contest the Flag while removing the terminal Silver from your deck.
Simulations of Flag Bearer Big Money show Flag Bearer has a strong second mover advantage, since the second player to buy Flag Bearer both takes the Flag and denies the opponent's Flag. This makes it important to time the 1st Flag Bearer buy correctly. Ideally, the 1st Flag Bearer is bought when it's inconvenient or awkward for the opponent to spend a buy on Flag Bearer, making up for the first mover disadvantage.
