Militia is a [[terminal silver]] and a [[handsize attack|discard attack]], meaning it provides you with extra economy while simultaneously slowing down your opponents’ turns. Generally, Militia is a strong attack. Purchasing one early on to slow down your opponents will often help you out in the long run, especially if you plan to eventually build an engine that will allow you to play it every turn. Most decks will contain exactly one Militia, as the attack does not stack.
 +
 
 +
Militia is most impactful in [[Kingdom|Kingdoms]] with strong trashing but weak draw, where your opponents are more likely to have to discard useful cards and less likely to be able to operate effectively with a reduced hand size. Militia is sometimes skippable in Kingdoms with strong draw and weak [[Village (card category)|villages]], where the attack is relatively unimpactful and Militia is an inefficient use of [[terminal space]]. Strong [[junker|junking attacks]] can also make Militia skippable, as your opponents can simply discard the junk to the Militia attack.
  
Militia is a fairly basic and pretty good discard attack. It can be effective at slowing down the opponent early, and an engine which plays Militia every turn will greatly slow down a Big Money strategy. It's also a good counter to strategies that rely on sifting from {{Card|Warehouse}}, {{Card|Cellar}}, {{Card|Inn}}, or {{Card|Storeroom}}, and it's good against {{Card|Vault}} and {{Card|Secret Chamber}} decks. With no support, Militia does not beat terminal draw as a [[Big Money]] enabler, but is often a good addition to an engine.
+
In the early game Militia is often a strong purchase. Making an opponent discard a single {{Card|Copper}} can be enough to ensure that they can’t afford what they wanted to buy.  
  
On boards where there is no counter to Militia and both players buy it, the game can take markedly longer. Militia also slightly reduces the benefit of trashing weak cards like Estates and Coppers.
+
After the opening, Militia’s effectiveness depends on your opponents’ deck composition. Decks that have cleaned out their junk cards, usually in the form of {{Card|Estate}} or {{Card|Copper}} trashing, are more likely to have to discard something important. Similarly, decks that rely on having many of the same card in hand (e.g. {{Card|Silver}}-flooding [[Big Money|money]] decks) are also particularly susceptible. Decks built around [[rush]] strategies are typically unaffected by the discard attack as they typically don’t bother to trash their starting cards. Militia’s effect on [[engine|engines]] varies, but it can be quite impactful if there is not a good way to ensure reliability (such as [[duration draw]]), because it increases the chance that your opponents’ engine will [[dud]] and increases the amount of draw necessary to fully draw their deck.  
=== When is militia strongest? ===
+
Militia tends to have a stronger effect against a heavily-thinned deck, as these decks have more consistent value and less junk to discard. Trashers typically come with an opportunity cost, so a deck that relies on trashing tends to go through a period where it has forgone stronger cards in the short-term, for more benefits long-term.
+
  
Like other discard attacks, Militia is stronger against decks that contain a lot of [[cantrips]]. Because a player does not know what cards will be drawn, cantrips increase the likelihood of making a sub-optimal choice of which cards to discard.
+
Militia synergizes with effects that draw cards for your opponents. For example, {{Card|Council Room}} or {{Card|Governor}} can provide you with very strong draw, at the expense of extra draw for your opponents; playing Militia afterwards helps nullify this downside by having them discard back down to 3 cards.  
  
Militia is also markedly more powerful against decks that have a relatively homogeneous composition, as opposed to decks with cards of disparate play value, because decks with a few strong cards mixed in with weaker cards can discard the weaker cards, losing less value.
+
Militia has a few counters, some more obvious than others. [[Attack immunity]] cards such as {{Card|Moat}} can block its attack, leaving your opponents unaffected. Some counters can even provide your opponents with some benefit when you play Militia. Your opponents’ {{Card|Village Green}} can be played if you use Militia while they have it in hand to discard, and [[draw-to-x|draw-to-X]] cards such as {{Card|Library}} let the opponent discard below-average cards and replace them with cards from their deck.
  
Militia is particularly weak against decks full of victory cards (or curses).  This makes Militia particularly ineffective against VP rush strategies, especially {{Card|Gardens}}. These decks fill up with victory cards quickly, and have lots of cards that can be discarded without lossIn a more typical deck, assuming there is no strong counter, Militia tends to hit hardest mid-game when players' decks have reached a consistently high value, but before greening.

Militia is a terminal silver and a discard attack, meaning it provides you with extra economy while simultaneously slowing down your opponents’ turns. Generally, Militia is a strong attack. Purchasing one early on to slow down your opponents will often help you out in the long run, especially if you plan to eventually build an engine that will allow you to play it every turn. Most decks will contain exactly one Militia, as the attack does not stack.

Militia is most impactful in Kingdoms with strong trashing but weak draw, where your opponents are more likely to have to discard useful cards and less likely to be able to operate effectively with a reduced hand size. Militia is sometimes skippable in Kingdoms with strong draw and weak villages, where the attack is relatively unimpactful and Militia is an inefficient use of terminal space. Strong junking attacks can also make Militia skippable, as your opponents can simply discard the junk to the Militia attack.

In the early game Militia is often a strong purchase. Making an opponent discard a single CopperCopper.jpg can be enough to ensure that they can’t afford what they wanted to buy.

Decks that have cleaned out their junk cards, usually in the form of EstateEstate.jpg or CopperCopper.jpg trashing, are more likely to have to discard something important. Similarly, decks that rely on having many of the same card in hand (e.g. SilverSilver.jpg-flooding money decks) are also particularly susceptible.

Militia’s effect on engines varies, but it can be quite impactful if there is not a good way to ensure reliability (such as duration draw), because it increases the chance that your opponents’ engine will dud and increases the amount of draw necessary to fully draw their deck.
