| + | A "'gainer'" is any card which allows you to gain cards without buying them. The simplest example is {{Card|Workshop}}. They often work well with {{Card|Gardens}} strategies, as they allow you to gain more cards than you have buys. They're can also be useful for picking up [[engine]] components, especially cheap ones. |

| − | A '''gainer''' is any card which allows you to gain cards without buying them. The simplest example is {{Card|Workshop}}.

| + | Cards that allow you to trash one card and gain another, like {{Card|Remodel}}, are usually considered to be in [[Trasher#Remodelers|a separate category from gainers]], since they don't increase your deck size. However, they can sometimes have similar functions for gaining engine components. |

| − | ====Gainers depending on cards played==== | + | === Silver gainers === |
| | | | |
| − | These cards can gain with no cost restriction; what cards they can gain depends on whether or not copies of those cards are in play when the gainer is used, or played while the gainer is resolving.
| + | Since {{Card|Silver}} is present in every game, and is almost always a useful card but never super-powerful, there are several cards that use gaining Silver as a decent but not overpowered bonus. |

| | + | * [[Hinterlands]]: {{Card|Jack of all Trades}}, {{Card|Trader}} |
| | + | * [[Dark Ages]]: {{Card|Squire}} |
| | | | |
| − | {{trait|Friendly}}, from Plunder, resembles Way of the Rat, but lets you discard a card, rather than play it, to gain a copy.
| + | === Other treasure gainers === |
| | | | |
| − | {{card|Changeling}}, from [[Nocturne]], is another one-shot gainer; which can gain copies of cards in play. | + | These cards can be used to gain other Treasures—some specifically {{Card|Copper}}, {{Card|Gold}}, or {{Card|Spoils}}; others whatever Treasure happens to be available. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Trash gainers===
| + | * [[Dominion]]: {{Card|Thief}} |
| − | These cards can gain cards out of the Trash instead of the supply:
| + | * [[Seaside]]: {{Card|Treasure Map}}, {{Card|Explorer}} |
| − | | + | * [[Prosperity]]: {{Card|Mint}}, {{Card|Hoard}} |
| − | * Intrigue: {{card|Lurker}}
| + | * [[Cornucopia]]: {{Card|Bag of Gold}} |
| − | * Dark Ages: {{Card|Graverobber}} and {{Card|Rogue}}
| + | * [[Hinterlands]]: {{Card|Tunnel}}, {{Card|Noble Brigand}}, {{Card|Ill-Gotten Gains}} |
| − | * Renaissance: {{Card|Treasurer}}
| + | * [[Promo]]: {{Card|Governor}} |
| − | | + | * [[Dark Ages]]: {{Card|Beggar}}, {{Card|Market Square}}, {{Card|Marauder}}, {{Card|Bandit Camp}}, {{Card|Count}}, {{Card|Pillage}} |
| − | ''{{card|Thief}}'' and {{card|Noble Brigand}} technically gain cards from the trash as well, but only the cards trashed as part of resolving their Attack abilities.

| − | === On-buy/gain gainers ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | These cards resemble the above in gaining cards up to or at a particular cost, but do so when you buy or gain another card, rather than when you play the gainer itself.
