It pains me to say this, but Market is a mediocre-to-weak {{Cost|5}}, among the bottom third of cards in [[List_of_Cards_by_Qvist_Rankings|Qvist's rankings]].  
+
Market is a {{Cost|5}} [[cantrip]] card that allows you to make extra purchases on your turn and gives +{{Cost|1}}. Market’s extra [[+Buy]] can be important if your deck can yield a lot of {{Cost}}, and it gives +{{Cost}} of its own without being a [[stop card]]. Market is usually good in kingdoms with good [[trashing]] but without strong [[draw]], where its [[cantrip money|cantrip economy]] allows you to generate {{Cost}} without having to rely on [[stop card]]s.
  
Don’t get me wrong: Markets are definitely good, as a non-terminal Action that provides +{{Cost|1}} and +1 Buy, and therefore readily spammable.  But the problem is its opportunity cost.  At the {{Cost|5}} level, there are some seriously amazing cards that you’d be passing up for the Market.  The {{Cost|5}} Attacks in particular are so ridiculously strong that you will usually fall behind quickly if you can’t keep up with the {{Card|Mountebank|Mountebanking}} or the {{Card|Witch|Witching}}. Market, on the other hand, is essentially equivalent to having played a {{Card|Fishing Village}} on the last turn, except with the +Action traded for a +Buy.  Zzzz.
+
As cantrips, Markets can chain themselves without much trouble. Playing several Markets in succession generates a decent amount of {{Cost}}, but usually the more important aspect of Market is that a Market stack gives many +Buys, allowing you to buy many cheap cards at once. While this chaining ability can be strong, having many extra Buys may not do much for your deck, and {{Cost|1}} is a relatively small amount of money. Furthermore, as a card costing {{Cost|5}} the [[opportunity cost]] of Market is usually high.
  
Not to mention that Market has a ton of similarly-priced clones ({{Card|Peddler}}, {{Card|Bazaar}}, {{Card|Treasury}}, {{Card|Grand Market}}), all of which are superior unless you have a pressing need for a ton of +Buy. Of Actions, Cards, {{Cost|}}, and Buys, Buys are the least helpful resource—the Market’s abundance of extra Buys are almost always wasted because the quality of cards is superlinear; a {{Cost|6}} card is better than 2 {{Cost|3}} cards or 3 {{Cost|2}} cards. (This is why {{Card|Tactician}} is a good card.) With the exception of certain situations involving {{Card|Goons}}, {{Card|Gardens}}, {{Card|Peddler|Peddlers}}, {{Card|Bridge}}, {{Card|Highway}}, and {{Card|Hoard}}, you very rarely want more than 2 or 3 Buys.
+
Market usually shouldn’t be gained early in the game. Without desirable cheap cards (e.g. {{Card|Pixie}}, {{Card|Fool's Gold}}) and before you have strong [[payload]], you cannot utilize Market’s extra Buy efficiently. As such, buying a Market on your first two turns is generally a poor use of your [[opening]]. In the midgame, you should anticipate when an extra buy will allow you to gain extra cards and get Market shortly before this happens.
  
Of course, if there are no other non-terminal {{Cost|5}} Actions, then you’ll mostly be buying Markets with your {{Cost|5}}.  But it won’t be ideal, and with two Buys at {{Cost|10}} you’d probably rather purchase {{Cost|6}}/{{Cost|4}} or Province/{{Cost|2}} instead of two Markets.
+
=== Notable Synergies ===
 +
* [[Combo: Highway and Market]]
  
Market, therefore, is best deployed as a supplemental card when superior alternatives for +Buy (e.g., Grand Market, Festival, Goons, or even {{Card|Worker's Village}}) are not available.  A card to pick up along the way so your {{Card|Laboratory}}/{{Card|Alchemist}} chain doesn’t look foolish spending {{Cost|20}} on one Province (or worse, one {{Card|Woodcutter}}). But rarely as a card to build your deck around, and one of the first to be sacrificed to the {{Card|Salvager}} or {{Card|Forge}}.

Market’s strengths and weaknesses are best illustrated by comparing it to Laboratory.  It trades an extra card for +{{Cost|1}} and +1 Buy. Accordingly, it does best in extremely dense and/or fully-drawable decks, where the {{Cost|1}} and the Buy outweigh the disadvantage of drawing one fewer cardIt does worse when cards like {{Card|Cellar}} and {{Card|Vault}} are available, which take better advantage of increased hand sizes.  And its lack of deck-drawing power makes it much more vulnerable to opponents’ attacks. You’d rather have 3 Laboratories and 1 Market over 4 Laboratories with no +Buy, but 2 Laboratories and 2 Markets usually leaves you with wasted extra Buys and wishing you had another card in hand instead.
