'''Hoard''' is a [[Treasure]] card from [[Prosperity]]. It is a [[gainer]], since it allows you to gain {{Card|Gold}} cards without buying them, by buying a [[Victory]] card with Hoard in play. It can be a quick way to get lots of Gold cards, but be sure you have a way to deal with the Victory cards you pick up!

=== Official FAQ ===
−
* You only gain a {{Card|Gold}} when you gain a [[Victory]] card that you bought, not when you gain a Victory card other ways (such as via {{Card|War Chest}}).
+
* When you buy a Victory card with this in play, you gain a Gold card from the [[Supply]], putting it into your discard pile.  
−
* The {{Card|Gold}} comes from the [[Supply]] and is put into your discard pile.  
+
* If there are no Golds left, you do not get one.
−
* This is cumulative, and works on all gains; for example if you have two Hoards in play, and buy and gain two {{Card|Estate|Estates}}, you'll gain four {{Card|Gold|Golds}} total.
+
* If you have multiple Hoards in play, you will gain multiple Golds from buying a single Victory card.
−
=== Other rules clarifications ===
+
* If you buy multiple Victory cards, you will get Gold for each one.
−
Hoard got errata in 2022 so that it's no longer a while-in-play effect, and the {{Card|Gold}} gain was delayed to when you gained the bought Victory card.  
+
* So for example if you had two Hoards in play and no other money, with +1 Buy, you could buy two Estates and gain four Golds.
−
* If you play this twice with e.g. {{Card|Tiara}} or {{Card|Crown}}, buying and gaining a Victory card will gain you two {{Card|Gold|Golds}}.
+
* Victory cards gained other than via buying them do not get you Gold.
 +
=== Other Rules clarifications ===
 +
* A {{Card|Crown|Crowned}} Hoard will still only gain one Gold per Victory card buy.

When Hoards are present, you may not need to buy Gold if you can just draw your Hoard often enough. And you really don’t need more than one or two; with Hoard, your deck will be quite a bit stronger than it usually is after the VP-buying starts. This means that with {{Cost|6}}, you can start buying Duchies much earlier than you normally would.

Hoard is most powerful with the mixed Victory cards ({{Card|Great Hall}}, {{Card|Island}}, {{Card|Nobles}}, and {{Card|Harem}}). It’s also a great way to run a {{Card|Duke}}/{{Card|Duchy}} strategy, since picking up a couple Hoards before buying the Duchies and Dukes is usually enough to keep your deck producing {{Cost|5}} even after you saturate it with Victory cards.  The same principle applies to {{Card|Gardens}} strategies, though you should keep in mind that most Gardens strategies depend on fast endings, and building up to {{Cost|6}} for the Hoard might be too slow.
−
Hoard is an expensive [[Kingdom]] [[Treasure]] and {{Card|Gold}} [[gainer]] that varies in appeal depending on whether this latter effect is valuable or not; if this is not activated, it’s simply a pricey {{Card|Silver}}. When you’re building an [[engine]], Hoard is often mediocre due to its antithetical nature to the principles of [[deck control]]: it is itself a [[stop card]] that requires you to gain other stop cards ([[Victory]] cards) in order to gain even more stop cards ({{Card|Gold|Golds}}). Stronger [[payload]] options that are less demanding in terms of [[draw]] are usually available. Hoard can, however, be a useful addition to your deck in cases where you can both activate and benefit from the {{Card|Gold}}-gaining.  
+
  
−
In [[money strategy|money strategies]], Hoard can be helpful to achieve and maintain a high [[money density]] by adding more payload cards during [[greening]]. When used in this way, Hoard is usually best added instead of your first {{Card|Gold}}, with the aim of buying {{Card|Province|Provinces}} with it in play. Even if you can’t afford a {{Card|Province}}, buying another Victory card instead is still useful for pushing your money density towards 1.5 {{Cost}} per stop card. In an engine, Hoard is less frequently useful, but a single copy may be attractive in a Kingdom with strong draw but where payload is otherwise difficult to add, and can help you ramp from one {{Card|Province}} per turn to two. In these cases, Hoard should be added once you have achieved full deck control, usually including [[thinning]] your starting cards.  
+
Hoard is also the rare card that benefits from a ton of extra Buys, especially with the {{Card|Bridge}}. And {{Card|Watchtower}} can turn this into a devastating combo: stack up on free {{Card|Estate|Estates}}, optionally trashing them as they come in, while top-decking your Golds. Add in an {{Card|Herbalist}} for further ridiculousness.
  
−
While Hoard is not the fastest or most flexible {{Card|Gold}} gainer, it can still function sufficiently in that role. With [[trash for benefit]] cards such as {{Card|Apprentice}} or a [[Remodel variant]], you can use a single Hoard to provide high-priced fodder for this effect while simultaneously maintaining deck control by trashing {{Card|Gold}} at the same rate as you gain it. If your engine relies on Treasure cards (such as with {{Card|Storyteller}}) or if gaining {{Card|Gold}} offers some other supplemental benefit (such as with {{Landmark|Keep}}), Hoard can be useful for the purpose.
+
In general, if there isn’t another viable buy, then you should always try to use Hoard to buy a Victory card, even if that means buying an Estate or Duchy before your first {{Card|Province}}. This is especially true when there are [[trashing]] cards available, and even more true when those trashing cards provide benefits.  {{Card|Salvager}} works very well with Hoard, since it gives you a +Buy for all those Golds, and {{Card|Bishop}} is almost as good. With a source of +Buy and +Actions, {{Card|Apprentice}} and Hoard can be used to create a devastating engine where Apprentice has a continuous supply of Golds (or even Duchies or Provinces) to trash to draw huge numbers of cards, many of which will be golds, leading to tremendous buying power.
 +
=== When is Hoard not a good buy? ===
 +
So when would you pass up Hoard for Gold?  Well, Hoard naturally works very badly with {{Card|Treasury}}.  Hoards are also less effective when {{Card|Platinum|Platinums}} are available; cutting out the Hoard and bootstrapping from Gold to Platinum can get you to {{Card|Colony|Colonies}} faster, since it’s difficult to get to Colonies with just Hoarded Golds.  And there’s not too much point to buying Hoards late in the game; for instance, if you have {{Card|Royal Seal}} or Watchtower, you might choose to buy and top-deck a late Gold rather than a Hoard, so that you can get to the last Province/Colony sooner.
  
−
If your engine is buying Victory cards as part of the building process (such as with {{Card|Nobles}}, {{Card|Shepherd}}, or {{Event|Inheritance}}), Hoard can provide payload earlier than it otherwise would, since adding Victory cards benefits your deck rather than being something to delay as long as possible.
+
Hoard also does not work well with thinned engine strategies that are choked by adding even high-value treasure.  Engines based around {{Card|Minion}} or {{Card|Scrying Pool}} are stopped dead by extra treasure.  Hoard is less damaging to more straightforward deck drawing engines, like {{Card|Village}}+{{Card|Smithy}}, but it still can choke these engines, especially if Hoard is used to buy low-value VP like Estates.  Care must be taken to keep the engine smooth and solid enough to continue drawing the deck.  Trashing and buying {{Card|Nobles}} or even {{Card|Great Hall}} to activate the Hoard can minimize the negative impact on an engine.

Lots and lots of players conflate "when you gain" with "when you buy"; for example they expect to gain two {{Card|Port}}s when using {{Card|Workshop}} to gain one. People who know the rules well still get tripped up by this sometimes. Then there's, when-buy is timed differently from when-gain - it happens first. This again endlessly is not something people expect, and causes weird things to happen. For example you can buy the last card of a pile with {{Card|Talisman}} in play, gain that card with {{Card|Talisman}}, and then fail to gain a card due to the buy itself.
 
−
 
−
It should have been that I only had when-gain from the start. And this has been clear since before Hinterlands came out. I kept when-buy because a few cards needed it to not have some other fix, and I'd already put out {{Card|Mint}} with when-buy. I immediately regretted it, then felt for years like, oh well, that damage is done, and made more when-buy cards. Finally I stopped making them and now I'm getting rid of them.
 
−
 
−
Some people immediately feel like getting rid of when-buy is removing some important nuance or complexity. It isn't! It isn't, you heard it here. The game has so much nuance; no particular instance of it is important. And I mean the last few expansions have no when-buy; I have been on this plan for years now.
 
−
 
−
Some needed to avoid loops. Hoard has no loops, but I've playtested cards that would loop with it if it were a pure when-gain. It was a real question, did I really have to fix it; I always think I won't get talked into more expansions, but if I do, I'll sure be glad I didn't rule out future cards due to trying to be nice to Hoard.
 
−
 
−
Let's be clear: "When you gain a card you bought" is awful. It's not "yeeha, just what I've always wanted"; it's, "this is my least bad option, oh well, I take it." Other things you can do in these cases, e.g. "once per turn," were more of a change; despite how it may look, I was trying to minimize changes.
 
−
 
−
["While this is in play"] also endlessly confuses players. Who are these players, someone is asking. Man. They're everywhere. Maybe you are in a bubble of rules experts, I dunno; they're really out there. They are surprised when {{Card|Throne Room|Throne}} - {{Card|Goons}} doesn't work and so on.
