A gainer is any card which allows you to gain cards without buying them. The simplest example is WorkshopWorkshop.jpg. They often work well with GardensGardens.jpg strategies, as they allow you to gain more cards than you have buys. They can also be useful for picking up engine components, especially cheap ones.

Cards that allow you to trash one card and gain another, like RemodelRemodel.jpg, are usually considered to be in a separate category from gainers, since they don't increase your deck size. However, they can sometimes have similar functions for gaining engine components or accelerating a three-pile ending.

Types of gainers

Workshop variants

These cards let you gain cards up to a particular maximum cost. Most of them work well in combinations with cards like HighwayHighway.jpg, which will let you gain more expensive cards than you usually can.

FeastFeast.jpg gains a card, but as a one-shot it acts more as a temporary replacement than a gainer. If you play Throne RoomThrone Room.jpg, ProcessionProcession.jpg or King's CourtKing's Court.jpg on it, it acts more like a gainer.

On-buy/gain gainers

These cards resemble the above in gaining cards up to a particular cost, but do so when you buy or gain another card, rather than when you play the gainer itself.

Silver gainers

Since SilverSilver.jpg is present in every game, and is almost always a useful card but rarely super-powerful, there are several cards that use gaining Silver as a decent but not overpowered bonus.

EmbassyEmbassy.jpg, from Hinterlands, distributes Silver to your opponents when you gain it.

Other treasure gainers

These cards can be used to gain other Treasures—some specifically CopperCopper.jpg, GoldGold.jpg, or SpoilsSpoils.jpg; others whatever Treasure happens to be available.

Sir VanderSir Vander.jpg, from Dark Ages, gains a Gold when trashed.

Other specific-card gainers

When gain/buy/trash gainers

Though it does not gain a card, InheritanceInheritance.jpg does set aside a card from the Supply that is included in your deck at the end of the game.
