FAQ
Official FAQ
- Playing this gives +2 Cards; gaining it gives +2 Villagers.
Strategy
The Villagers that Lackeys provides are very powerful. Like Silk Merchant, it is a strong opening card. Drawing Lackeys on turn 3 or turn 4 guarantees that your other opening buy doesn't miss the reshuffle, and the Villagers guarantees that you can play it. The power of Lackeys is mostly on the Villagers, not the +2 Cards. Trashers to remove excess Lackeys, or ways to make Lackeys non-terminal (like Lost Arts or certain Ways), can make it better to buy Lackeys more aggressively.
