FAQ
Official FAQ
- If the top card of your deck is a Treasure, it goes into your hand.
- If the card is not a Treasure, leave it on top of your deck.
- If the card is an Action card or Victory card, you gain a Magpie; once the Magpie pile is empty, revealing an Action or Victory card will not get you anything.
- If you reveal a Harem (from Intrigue), you both put it into your hand and gain a Magpie, since it is both a Treasure and a Victory card.
Strategy
There is no strategy article for Magpie yet, as Adventures is the newest expansion, and the community is still discussing how best to use it. If you have ideas, please share them on the forum!
While Magpie's "Laboratory for Treasures" ability is rather nice, making it a sort of more satisfying Vagrant, its self-gaining ability means that even if you buy just one, you will usually quickly end up with multiple Magpies in your deck. This usually allows you to draw your entire deck with minimal support. All of this together means Magpie doesn't mind you adding Treasures to your deck, in contrast to most other engine strategies, which usually prefer alternate means of fielding . Magpie's self-gaining ability also means that its pile will typically empty fairly quickly, making it easier to go for a three-pile ending.
