Forge is most useful as a multi-card [[thinning|thinner]], though its high price makes it difficult to gain and use in the early stages of the game in which you would typically like to use such a card. As a result, Forge is likely skippable if you can thin your starting cards more quickly via other methods than by working towards a deck that can afford Forge and draw a good set of targets for it. If such alternatives are unavailable or weak, it may be a good idea to try and [[Glossary#S|spike]] {{Cost|7}} for Forge, or acquire it with effects such as {{Event|Transport}}.

Several considerations may maximize the value of using Forge as a thinner.
There isn't a Forge strategy article.  
+
# Because Forge can trash as many cards as you have in hand, the way to maximally exploit its capabilities is to trash all of your [[junk]] at once, so any method to increase your hand size before playing Forge is helpful. Given that the ideal time to do this is before you've fully established [[deck control]], the most practical ways to do so are often somewhat [[one-shot]] in nature, including cheap [[non-terminal draw]] like {{Card|Horse|Horses}} and effects like {{Project|Sinister Plot}}. [[Duration draw]], such as {{Card|Barge}} or {{Card|Tactician}}, can also be very beneficial.
 +
# Forge can trash any number of cards costing {{Cost|0}}, like {{Card|Copper}}, {{Card|Curse}}, or [[Ruins]], alongside its other trashing targets without affecting the price of the gained card. It can, for example, turn an {{Card|Estate}} plus any number of {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} into a {{Card|Border Guard}}, or trash any number of {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} to replace them with a single {{Card|Copper}}.
 +
# In some cases it's worthwhile to trash a set of cards whose prices do not add up to that of any card in the [[Kingdom]] and gain nothing at all: for example, this is usually possible when you trash a [[Shelter]] alongside cards costing {{Cost|0}}. This is often preferable to gaining a useless card.
  
Forge is an awesome trasher which can trash any number of cards at once. Unfortunately, it costs {{Cost|7}}, so you can't use it for early-game trashing like a {{Card|Chapel}}. It can be used for mid-to-lategame trashing to make an [[engine]] super-reliable - if it was sort of kicking into gear already, enough to get you {{Cost|7}}. It is a good addition to an engine withstanding [[curser|cursers]] or [[looter|looters]]; and after the engine is built and the starting cards are trashed, Forge can cannibalize engine parts into [[Victory]] cards, like turning a {{Card|Village}} and a {{Card|Rabble}} into a {{Card|Province}}.  
+
As a [[trash-for-benefit]] card, Forge compares unfavorably to similar cards, such as [[Remodel variant]]s, as it is a relatively inflexible [[gainer]]. The main weakness is that it is often difficult to find a combination of cards you are willing to trash that have the required costs for a particular card you would like to gain. For instance, if you have a {{Card|Gold}} gainer providing fodder, you would need to pair it with a {{Cost|2}} card to gain a {{Card|Province}}—no other cost will work. Additionally, Forge needs to trash more cards (and you also need to draw them, necessitating larger hand sizes) in order to gain useful cards: for example, while {{Card|Expand}} can convert a single {{Card|Silver}} to a {{Cost|6}} card, Forge requires two. Compounded with its high cost, these issues mean you’ll typically only end up using Forge to good trash-for-benefit effect after you’ve largely finished using it as a thinner. At this stage of the game, Forge can be useful for [[milling]] cards to empty a pile and could be particularly important if it's the only way to gain {{Card|Province|Provinces}} besides buying them.
  
To make use of Forge best, you really need to have big hands, where you can match it up to a lot of junk to trash and to cards which add up to the right cost.
+
There are a few cards that work particularly well as fodder for Forge. Cards that cost {{Cost|4}} are often useful, as trashing two copies allows you to gain a {{Card|Province}}; this is significantly magnified in the case of {{Card|Fortress}} and {{Card|Rats}}, both of which have on-trash benefits and act as renewable sources of fodder. {{Card|Peddler}} is another notable synergy, as it is often cheap to acquire but can be Forged into {{Card|Province}}. Using [[milling]], by trashing a {{Card|Province}} from your hand to gain a {{Card|Province}} (usually the only {{Cost|8}} card in most kingdoms), is a way to deplete the {{Card|Province}} supply pile to end the game quicker, especially beneficial when you already have a point lead.
  
The options available to Forge depend heavily on what is on the board as well as what is in your deck.  It can always be used to trash copper and curses, in addition to whatever other cards are being forged together, because these cards cost {{Cost|0}}.  Standard treasures, costing multiples of {{Cost|3}}, always works with Forge, making the card a bit more powerful in Colony games.  These treasures require cards of cost {{Cost|2}} or {{Cost|5}} to be forged into victory points.

Trash any number of cards from your hand. Gain a card with cost exactly equal to the total cost in $ of the trashed cards.

Forge is an Action card from Prosperity. It can be a powerful trasher and remodeler, but it is often hampered by its high cost and relative lack of flexibility.

Forge is most useful as a multi-card thinner, though its high price makes it difficult to gain and use in the early stages of the game in which you would typically like to use such a card. As a result, Forge is likely skippable if you can thin your starting cards more quickly via other methods than by working towards a deck that can afford Forge and draw a good set of targets for it. If such alternatives are unavailable or weak, it may be a good idea to try and spike $7 for Forge, or acquire it with effects such as TransportTransport.jpg.

Several considerations may maximize the value of using Forge as a thinner.

  1. Because Forge can trash as many cards as you have in hand, the way to maximally exploit its capabilities is to trash all of your junk at once, so any method to increase your hand size before playing Forge is helpful. Given that the ideal time to do this is before you've fully established deck control, the most practical ways to do so are often somewhat one-shot in nature, including cheap non-terminal draw like HorsesHorse.jpg and effects like Sinister PlotSinister Plot.jpg. Duration draw, such as BargeBarge.jpg or TacticianTactician.jpg, can also be very beneficial.
  2. Forge can trash any number of cards costing $0, like CopperCopper.jpg, CurseCurse.jpg, or Ruins, alongside its other trashing targets without affecting the price of the gained card. It can, for example, turn an EstateEstate.jpg plus any number of CoppersCopper.jpg into a Border GuardBorder Guard.jpg, or trash any number of CoppersCopper.jpg to replace them with a single CopperCopper.jpg.
  3. In some cases it's worthwhile to trash a set of cards whose prices do not add up to that of any card in the Kingdom and gain nothing at all: for example, this is usually possible when you trash a Shelter alongside cards costing $0. This is often preferable to gaining a useless card.

As a trash-for-benefit card, Forge compares unfavorably to similar cards, such as Remodel variants, as it is a relatively inflexible gainer. The main weakness is that it is often difficult to find a combination of cards you are willing to trash that have the required costs for a particular card you would like to gain. For instance, if you have a GoldGold.jpg gainer providing fodder, you would need to pair it with a $2 card to gain a ProvinceProvince.jpg—no other cost will work. Additionally, Forge needs to trash more cards (and you also need to draw them, necessitating larger hand sizes) in order to gain useful cards: for example, while ExpandExpand.jpg can convert a single SilverSilver.jpg to a $6 card, Forge requires two. Compounded with its high cost, these issues mean you’ll typically only end up using Forge to good trash-for-benefit effect after you’ve largely finished using it as a thinner. At this stage of the game, Forge can be useful for milling cards to empty a pile and could be particularly important if it's the only way to gain ProvincesProvince.jpg besides buying them.

There are a few cards that work particularly well as fodder for Forge. Cards that cost $4 are often useful, as trashing two copies allows you to gain a ProvinceProvince.jpg; this is significantly magnified in the case of FortressFortress.jpg and RatsRats.jpg, both of which have on-trash benefits and act as renewable sources of fodder. PeddlerPeddler.jpg is another notable synergy, as it is often cheap to acquire but can be Forged into ProvinceProvince.jpg. Using milling, by trashing a ProvinceProvince.jpg from your hand to gain a ProvinceProvince.jpg (usually the only $8 card in most kingdoms), is a way to deplete the ProvinceProvince.jpg supply pile to end the game quicker, especially beneficial when you already have a point lead.

You can tell when someone draws Forge. They start staring intently at their cards and moving their lips. Figuring out what to trash is an NP-complete problem - all you can do is consider every possibility. Forge is good if you get it early, since you can use it as a ChapelChapel.jpg that gains you stuff. Later on you will be trying to get up to PlatinumPlatinum.jpg or ColonyColony.jpg with it somehow. It pays to pay attention to the costs of the cards you're buying. To get a Forge early, use a QuarryQuarry.jpg; then Forge it away later.
