Gear is a no-risk [[opening]] card; it provides a little bit of draw, and if it [[collision|collides]] with another opening terminal, it can just save it for next turn.  Unlike {{Card|Courtyard}}, the card saved for next turn does not bump out the fifth card you would have drawn, but is instead added to your normal 5-card hand.  Gear also plays well with [[Big Money]], since any excess [[Treasure|Treasures]] (or other Gears) can just be saved for later.
+
At first glance, Gear looks similar to {{Card|Moat}}: +2 cards and some additional text.  But it’s this additional text that enables Gear to provide so much control over your turns, and makes Gear one of the strongest cards in Dominion.  Let's look at all the valuable things you can do by setting aside cards with Gear:
  
In Kingdoms with good engine potential, but no cards that can trash [[Victory]] cards, Gear can essentially hide them away once your engine is runningEven if there is heavy trashing, Gear can still hide away {{Card|Province|Provinces}}, so that your engine doesn't stall.
+
* Save excess money from turn to turn.  This is especially important when you only have one buy.  Early on, you can save a Copper to turn a {{Cost|4}} hand into a {{Cost|3}} hand in order to hit {{Cost|5}} on the next turn.  Later in the game, you can save money exceeding {{Cost|8}} so you can buy Provinces more consistently.
 +
* Save an unplayable terminal action for the next turnThis is especially important in games without villages.
 +
* Improve your starting hand.  You can set aside +card or +action cards that will make your next hand stronger.  This is especially valuable when you have a few powerful draw cards such as {{Card|Scrying Pool}} or {{Card|Storyteller}}.
 +
* Force bad cards to miss the shuffle.  If you're about to trigger a shuffle, you can set aside green cards so that you don't draw them in that shuffle.
 +
* Pair up synergistic cards.  Gear can help you pair up your Estates with a good Estate trasher, or Province with {{Card|Tournament}}, or Gold with {{Card|Encampment}}, and more!

Let's dive deeper into a couple contexts in which you might use Gear.

+
  
 +
=== Gear in the Early Game ===
 +
Gear is a very strong card with a {{Cost|3}}/{{Cost|4}} opening.  If you draw Gear on turn 3, you're guaranteed to be able to see and play your other opening card on turns 3 or 4.  If your other opening card doesn't draw, you will end turn 4 with an empty deck - having seen all twelve of your cards.  You will be able to freely distribute your deck's total money over these two turns.  If you draw Gear on turn 4, you might have to set aside your other opening card to play on turn 5 (if it's an action you can't play), but you will also have an opportunity to cause 1-2 weak cards to miss your next shuffle.
 +
 +
If there is a key {{Cost|2}}-{{Cost|4}} card on the board that you want to open with, consider a Gear opening carefully.  If the key card is non-terminal such as {{Card|Quarry}} or {{Card|Transmogrify}}, Gear is usually a great accompaniment.  However, if you open Gear with a terminal trasher such as {{Card|Chapel}} or {{Card|Steward}}, they might collide on turn 4.  Gear will probably only be worth opening if you can get a cheap village while trashing.
 +
 +
If there is a key {{Cost|5}} card on the board, Gear + Silver is an excellent opening.  So long as Gear is drawn on turn 3 or 4, you are guaranteed to be able to buy a {{Cost|5}} card and (almost always) a {{Cost|4}} or {{Cost|3}} card (perhaps another Gear, if the key {{Cost|5}} card is non-terminal).  You can also open Gear alongside a coin-generating action such as {{Card|Poacher}} or {{Card|Swindler}}, but you run the risk of not hitting {{Cost|5}} on turn 3 or 4 if you draw poorly.  Gear + {{Card|Potion}} is also one of the most reliable ways to hit {{Cost|3P}} on turn 3 or 4.
 +
 +
In the rare event that there are no kingdom cards costing {{Cost|5}} or less that you want early, double Gear is a good opening.  With a double Gear opening, if you draw Gear on turn 3, you have a good chance to hit {{Cost|6}} on turn 4 for Gold (or something better).  If you don't see any Gears on turn 3, you can buy Silver and have a great chance to hit {{Cost|6}} on turn 5.
 +
 +
=== Gear + Money ===
 +
Usually, you will want to play a card-drawing engine, and a few Gears will fit in well.  But, sometimes there is no good engine to build, in which case you should play primarily with Gear and treasures.  This is often the case when there are no villages and no non-terminal draw in the kingdom.  Gear is a very strong card in moneyish strategies, because Gear's money saving and terminal spacing functions give you tremendous control over your turns.
 +
 +
Gear + money strategies benefit most from Estate trashing and treasure gaining, so consider incorporating them into your strategy.  Gear + money's strongest supports are cards and events that can trash Estates with very little lost tempo: {{Card|Trade}}, {{Card|Transmogrify}}, and {{Card|Plan}}.  With strong support, Gear + money can beat slower engines - especially if there are no handsize attacks or alternative VP available.
 +
 +
Non-terminal support cards such as {{Card|Sentry}} or {{Card|Treasure Trove}} are easy to incorporate into a Gear + money strategy.  Because Gear can help space terminal actions, using 3-4 terminal actions is a good rule of thumb for a Gear + money strategy.  Sometimes, Gear is better in a support role with strong terminal actions such as {{Card|Witch}} or {{Card|Haggler}}.  In this role you can use 1-2 copies of Gear along with 2 additional terminal actions.  More often, you will want to combine 2-3 Gears with one copy of a supporting terminal action such as {{Card|Salvager}} or {{Card|Bandit}}.
 +
 +
Sometimes, there aren't any other beneficial kingdom cards.  Unassisted, you should open double Gear hoping to get Gold on turn 4.  You should get a third Gear as soon as you are confident you can get Gold.  With 3 Gears, you should be able to play one Gear each turn pretty consistently and smooth your money to exactly buy Golds (3-4), and then Provinces.  Without support, Gear + money does not get 7+ Provinces very fast, so beware strong alternative VP.
 +
 +
=== Gear Tips ===
 +
Gear is almost always good; buy it, you won't regret it.  Here are a few final Gear tips:
 +
* When playing Gear, if you choose not to set aside any cards, Gear will not stay in play.
 +
* In general, you should set aside all the cards you don't need on a given turn, even if it's just one card.
 +
* When using Gear as your primary source of draw (not recommended if there are alternatives), only save cards with your final Gear.
 +
* When trashing from your deck with cards such as {{Card|Sentry}} or {{Card|Lookout}}, stop using Gear to save cards you want to trash pretty early.
 +
* The cards saved by Gear are not in your hand during opponents' turns, so you can't use saved reactions such as {{Card|Moat}}.

Official FAQ

  • You may set aside zero, one, or two cards from your hand. Put them face down under the Gear; you may look at them. They do not have to be cards you drew with Gear.
  • If you set aside zero cards, Gear will be discarded the same turn you played it; if you set aside one or two cards, you put them into your hand at the start of your next turn, and Gear is discarded at the end of that turn.

At first glance, Gear looks similar to MoatMoat.jpg: +2 cards and some additional text. But it’s this additional text that enables Gear to provide so much control over your turns, and makes Gear one of the strongest cards in Dominion. Let's look at all the valuable things you can do by setting aside cards with Gear:

  • Save excess money from turn to turn. This is especially important when you only have one buy. Early on, you can save a Copper to turn a $4 hand into a $3 hand in order to hit $5 on the next turn. Later in the game, you can save money exceeding $8 so you can buy Provinces more consistently.

  • Pair up synergistic cards. Gear can help you pair up your Estates with a good Estate trasher, or Province with TournamentTournament.jpg, or Gold with EncampmentEncampment.jpg, and more!

Let's dive deeper into a couple contexts in which you might use Gear.

Gear in the Early Game

Gear is a very strong card with a $3/$4 opening. If you draw Gear on turn 3, you're guaranteed to be able to see and play your other opening card on turns 3 or 4. If your other opening card doesn't draw, you will end turn 4 with an empty deck - having seen all twelve of your cards. You will be able to freely distribute your deck's total money over these two turns. If you draw Gear on turn 4, you might have to set aside your other opening card to play on turn 5 (if it's an action you can't play), but you will also have an opportunity to cause 1-2 weak cards to miss your next shuffle.

If there is a key $2-$4 card on the board that you want to open with, consider a Gear opening carefully. If the key card is non-terminal such as QuarryQuarry.jpg or TransmogrifyTransmogrify.jpg, Gear is usually a great accompaniment. However, if you open Gear with a terminal trasher such as ChapelChapel.jpg or StewardSteward.jpg, they might collide on turn 4. Gear will probably only be worth opening if you can get a cheap village while trashing.

If there is a key $5 card on the board, Gear + Silver is an excellent opening. So long as Gear is drawn on turn 3 or 4, you are guaranteed to be able to buy a $5 card and (almost always) a $4 or $3 card (perhaps another Gear, if the key $5 card is non-terminal). You can also open Gear alongside a coin-generating action such as PoacherPoacher.jpg or SwindlerSwindler.jpg, but you run the risk of not hitting $5 on turn 3 or 4 if you draw poorly. Gear + PotionPotion.jpg is also one of the most reliable ways to hit $3P on turn 3 or 4.

In the rare event that there are no kingdom cards costing $5 or less that you want early, double Gear is a good opening. With a double Gear opening, if you draw Gear on turn 3, you have a good chance to hit $6 on turn 4 for Gold (or something better). If you don't see any Gears on turn 3, you can buy Silver and have a great chance to hit $6 on turn 5.

Gear + Money

Usually, you will want to play a card-drawing engine, and a few Gears will fit in well. But, sometimes there is no good engine to build, in which case you should play primarily with Gear and treasures. This is often the case when there are no villages and no non-terminal draw in the kingdom. Gear is a very strong card in moneyish strategies, because Gear's money saving and terminal spacing functions give you tremendous control over your turns.

Gear + money strategies benefit most from Estate trashing and treasure gaining, so consider incorporating them into your strategy. Gear + money's strongest supports are cards and events that can trash Estates with very little lost tempo: TradeTrade.jpg, TransmogrifyTransmogrify.jpg, and PlanPlan.jpg. With strong support, Gear + money can beat slower engines - especially if there are no handsize attacks or alternative VP available.

Non-terminal support cards such as SentrySentry.jpg or Treasure TroveTreasure Trove.jpg are easy to incorporate into a Gear + money strategy. Because Gear can help space terminal actions, using 3-4 terminal actions is a good rule of thumb for a Gear + money strategy. Sometimes, Gear is better in a support role with strong terminal actions such as WitchWitch.jpg or HagglerHaggler.jpg. In this role you can use 1-2 copies of Gear along with 2 additional terminal actions. More often, you will want to combine 2-3 Gears with one copy of a supporting terminal action such as SalvagerSalvager.jpg or BanditBandit.jpg.

Sometimes, there aren't any other beneficial kingdom cards. Unassisted, you should open double Gear hoping to get Gold on turn 4. You should get a third Gear as soon as you are confident you can get Gold. With 3 Gears, you should be able to play one Gear each turn pretty consistently and smooth your money to exactly buy Golds (3-4), and then Provinces.

Secret History

I tried a village that had you draw two cards, picking one to have this turn and one for next turn. I liked that part but had too many villages. I tried it on a Reserve card that set aside the top 2 cards of your deck until you wanted them, but if they were duds you'd let them sit there all game and that wasn't the fun part of the concept. I changed it to draw four, pick two for this turn; that was crazy at $5. Then it was draw 3, save however many you want for next turn, still at $5; still crazy. In its current shrunk form it was still a card to watch. It doesn't look like much, just +2 Cards something something, but it's got some tricks up its sleeve.
