{{Card|Lighthouse}} is an [[Action]]-[[Duration]] card from Seaside. It gives +{{Cost|1}} on the turn you play it and on the turn after you play it, and also, like {{Card|Moat}}, protects you from [[Attack]]s. Since it gives a total of +{{Cost|2}} spread between two turns, its buying power is almost as good as {{Card|Silver}}, and so buying multiple Lighthouses to defend against Attacks is viable. Lighthouses can also be useful when you have a need to get {{Cost|}} from actions rather than [[Treasure]]s.

Like {{Card|Moat}}, Lighthouse grants immunity to attacks, a direct counter. However, differences in the other aspects of the card make Lighthouse a much more reliable defense. In order to be protected with a Moat, it must be drawn in your 5 card hand. With Lighthouse, you must have played it at any point in the previous turn. Thus, with good card draw or deck cycling, it is much more likely to find protection from Lighthouse. Additionally, since Lighthouse is [[non-terminal]], it is much less likely to be a [[dead]] card during your turn than Moat.

The on-play benefit of Lighthouse offers {{Cost|2}} spread over this turn and next turn. This is comparable to {{Card|Silver}}, though often somewhat weaker, as [[Duration]]s are more likely to miss [[reshuffle]]s and generally {{Cost|2}} on a single turn makes it easier to afford higher priced cards. However, the difference is small enough that with any strong Attack in the [[Kingdom]], Lighthouse is almost always preferable to Silver, even in 2 player.

Lighthouse really shines in its ability to provide [[disappearing money]]: [[virtual coin]] through a non-terminal, non-drawing Action card.  This makes it of particular use with engines based on [[Double Tactician]] or {{Card|Minion}}, where its lack of card drawing is not a downside, or Draw-up-to-X cards like {{Card|Library}} or {{Card|Watchtower}} where its lack of card drawing is an asset.  It can be a decent enabler for {{Card|Conspirator}}, which incidentally also works well in some Minion and Double Tactician decks.

Lighthouse synergizes well with cards providing early +Buy; its low cost means that it is common to end up with much more coin than is needed to buy one, in a situation where buying a lighthouse might be a high priority.  In engines that benefit from picking up many lighthouses, +Buy helps you to quickly accumulate many of them, or buy an extra one on top of a Province buy or a 5-cost card if drawing 7.

Unlike Moat, Lighthouse's protection from Attacks is not optional, even if you ''want'' to be hit by them (e.g. to have an opponent's {{Card|Minion}} discard a hand of weak cards for you). This is at worst a minor drawback, though, since most of the time you don't want to be affected by Attacks.

While you have this in play, when another player plays an Attack card, it doesn't affect you.

LighthouseLighthouse.jpg is an Action-Duration card from Seaside. It gives +$1 on the turn you play it and on the turn after you play it, and also, like MoatMoat.jpg, protects you from Attacks. Since it gives a total of +$2 spread between two turns, its buying power is almost as good as SilverSilver.jpg, and so buying multiple Lighthouses to defend against Attacks is viable. Lighthouses can also be useful when you have a need to get $ from actions rather than Treasures.

Strategy Article

There is no comprehensive strategy article written for Lighthouse.

Lighthouse is one of the stronger $2-cost cards. It is one of the best defenses against attacks, and is even valuable in some games without attacks.

Like MoatMoat.jpg, Lighthouse grants immunity to attacks, a direct counter. However, differences in the other aspects of the card make Lighthouse a much more reliable defense. In order to be protected with a Moat, it must be drawn in your 5 card hand. With Lighthouse, you must have played it at any point in the previous turn. Thus, with good card draw or deck cycling, it is much more likely to find protection from Lighthouse. Additionally, since Lighthouse is non-terminal, it is much less likely to be a dead card during your turn than Moat.

The on-play benefit of Lighthouse offers $2 spread over this turn and next turn. This is comparable to SilverSilver.jpg, though often somewhat weaker, as Durations are more likely to miss reshuffles and generally $2 on a single turn makes it easier to afford higher priced cards. However, the difference is small enough that with any strong Attack in the Kingdom, Lighthouse is almost always preferable to Silver, even in 2 player.

Lighthouse really shines in its ability to provide disappearing money: virtual coin through a non-terminal, non-drawing Action card. This makes it of particular use with engines based on Double Tactician or MinionMinion.jpg, where its lack of card drawing is not a downside, or Draw-up-to-X cards like LibraryLibrary.jpg or WatchtowerWatchtower.jpg where its lack of card drawing is an asset. It can be a decent enabler for ConspiratorConspirator.jpg, which incidentally also works well in some Minion and Double Tactician decks.

Lighthouse makes RemodelRemodel.jpg more attractive (even in the absence of attacks), as it provides a target for remodelling copper that increases buying power.

Lighthouse synergizes well with cards providing early +Buy; its low cost means that it is common to end up with much more coin than is needed to buy one, in a situation where buying a lighthouse might be a high priority. In engines that benefit from picking up many lighthouses, +Buy helps you to quickly accumulate many of them, or buy an extra one on top of a Province buy or a 5-cost card with $7 to spend.

Unlike Moat, Lighthouse's protection from Attacks is not optional, even if you want to be hit by them (e.g. to have an opponent's MinionMinion.jpg discard a hand of weak cards for you). This is at worst a minor drawback, though, since most of the time you don't want to be affected by Attacks.

Lighthouse is one of the better Bane cards for Young WitchYoung Witch.jpg, since it protects from the Attack whether in your hand or in play.
