− | + | * If you buy a Mint with treasures such as {{Card|Talisman}} or {{Card|Quarry}}, the bonus from those cards is no longer applicable after they are trashed, but they still do apply to Mint. | |
− | + | * You can have as many Treasure cards as you want in play, so you can put Potions in play, for example, to trash them even though they didn't go into the purchase of Mint. | |
− | + | * If you buy Mint with at least {{Cost|11}} and 2 buys, you are able to purchase the Mint, trash your Treasures in play, and then buy a {{Card|Grand Market}}, even if some of those Treasures were {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, as they are not in play anymore. | |
− | + | * If you buy {{Card|Mandarin}} first and top-deck all your treasures, buying Mint will not result in any Treasures being trashed as there are none in play any longer. | |
− | + | * Since gained cards must come from the supply, Mint cannot be used to gain copies of {{Card|Spoils}}, [[Heirloom]]s, or Treasures that were bought from the {{Card|Black Market}} deck. | |

− | + | ||
− | + | Mint is a card with two very different abilities that synergize well with each other. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | First, Mint’s “trash-all-Treasures” ability is a considerable asset in the early game when you need to get rid of your {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} (or {{Card|Loan}}). It’s less useful if you have good trashing through {{Card|Chapel}} or {{Card|Steward}}, but without other options (and especially with good card draw) it can considerably streamline your deck. (Keep in mind that you can selectively play Treasures; if you draw a Gold and 7 Coppers, you can play only the Coppers and use the Mint buy to trash all 7 of them. Indeed, with 4 Coppers and a Silver, it’s usually worth trashing the {{Card|Silver}} to trash the 4 Coppers with it.) But buying a second (or third) Mint for the trashing is usually not that helpful; there are better terminal Actions, and unless you can {{Card|Remodel}}/{{Card|Salvager|Salvage}}/{{Card|Expand}} the extra Mints, it’ll probably end up getting wasted. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | Occasionally, with a {{Split|5|2}} [[opening]], you’ll see people open with Mint to trash 5 Coppers. Personally, I don’t think it’s a great idea; you’re really set back by the loss of all those Coppers, and unless you have a {{Cost|2}} like {{Card|Lighthouse}}, {{Card|Secret Chamber}}, {{Card|Embargo}}, or {{Card|Pawn}}, it’ll be tough to get to and Mint Silvers quickly enough. It’s a viable option if there are no other {{Cost|5}}′s, but probably not otherwise. However, [[Combo: Mint and Fool's Gold| Mint and Fool's Gold]] make a powerful opening combo; if you are [[Split advantage|lucky enough to open]] {{Split|5|2}} with those available, you are well on your way to victory. | |
− | + | Of course, if you gain Mint (through Expand, Remodel, {{Card|Smugglers}}, etc.), this ability doesn’t trigger. This is useful if good trashing has already thinned your deck into high quality Treasures. | |
− | + | Mint’s minting ability is more straightforward. It tends to avalanche; the more Golds you Mint, the more likely you are to draw Gold with Mint. Try to avoid using it on Silvers unless you have no other choice; bloating your deck with Silvers nullifies the whole point of Mint. Naturally, Mint works really well with {{Card|Platinum}}; it also does well with other cards that benefit from high-quality Treasure decks ({{Card|Adventurer}}, {{Card|Venture}}, {{Card|Grand Market}}) or lead to high-quality Treasure decks ({{Card|Mine}}, {{Card|Hoard}}). In the late game, when you can’t really count on the reshuffle, Mint is usually too slow (exception: {{Card|Harem}} and {{Card|Watchtower}}); look to Salvage or Remodel it instead. | |
− | === | + | === Synergies/Combos === |

− | * | + | * {{Card|Fool's Gold}} |

+ | * High-quality Treasure decks (e.g., {{Card|Mine}}/{{Card|Adventurer}}/{{Card|Venture}}) | ||

+ | * {{Card|Watchtower}} (which turns Mint into something like a Mine) | ||
+ | * {{Card|Grand Market}} | ||
+ | * {{Card|Loan}}/{{Card|Talisman}}/possibly {{Card|Quarry}}, if you have no need for them past early game | ||
+ | * {{Card|Mine}} | ||
+ | * {{Card|Ill-Gotten Gains}} (It can speed up a rush with by copying an Ill-Gotten Gains from your hand) | ||
+ | === Antisynergies === | ||
+ | * Low-quality Treasure decks | ||
+ | * Very big decks that take a while to reshuffle | ||
+ | * {{Card|Coppersmith}}, {{Card|Counting House}} | ||

It wasn't a secret that it was buy rather than gain; I had [[Hinterlands]] already, and had to FAQ the {{Card|Royal Seal}} interaction. Later with (more focused work on) [[Hinterlands]] it became a thing, I tried to make everything when-gain but couldn't.
