− | + | * If you buy a Mint with Treasures such as {{Card|Talisman}} or {{Card|Quarry}}, the bonus from those cards is no longer applicable after they are trashed, but they still do apply to Mint.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. | |

If the [[Kingdom]] offers more convenient ways to trash your {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, Mint is likely to be skippable; however, it can be a serviceable way to achieve thinning, especially if strong Treasures are present so that you have further use for the Mint after buying it. |

Because Mint trashes all of your Treasures in play when bought, it is at its best thinning when you can get as many {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} into play as possible, although you will have to weigh this against trying to thin as early as possible. In the simplest case, you can use five {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} to buy Mint and trash them all; a Mint trash is also sometimes worthwhile even if you can only get four {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} into play (supplementing the {{Cost}} using another source such as a [[Peddler variant]] or a {{Card|Silver}}), but only rarely with less than that. This is due both to the [[opportunity cost]] of not buying another {{Cost|5}} card and the fact that Mint itself is a [[stop card]]—if you add it to your deck while only trashing three {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, you’ve only effectively thinned two cards. Occasionally, you can trash more than five {{Card|Copper|Coppers}}, which sometimes makes it worthwhile to delay Mint until you can [[draw]] a big hand. Ways to spike a larger hand size before achieving deck control, such as {{Event|Expedition}}, can help enable this sooner. |
Trashing a large number of {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} with Mint drastically thins your deck and greatly helps you with [[deck control]], but because it can remove a large portion of your payload, it can be important to have a way to restore this to be able to afford price points and continue [[build]]ing. An extreme case is opening with Mint when you have a {{Split|5|2}} split, which might cripple you as you are unable to buy anything costing more than {{Cost|2}}. Potentially useful effects include ways to transform the Mint itself into payload, such as with {{Event|Advance}} or {{Way|Way of the Butterfly}}, and cheap ways to add payload, such as with {{Event|Delve}} or {{Event|Alms}}. {{Card|Fool's Gold}} synergizes doubly with Mint: not only is it a cheap payload option that you can copy with Mint to gain in bulk, it also greatly benefits from the immediate, heavy thinning. {{Card|Page}} is a similarly good option: {{Card|Treasure Hunter}} can restore your payload in the short term, {{Card|Hero}} can provide good targets for Mint later, and in the meantime the thinning helps you advance your [[Traveller]]s quickly. An early Mint can also synergize with [[trash-for-benefit]] effects such as {{Card|Remodel}}, both to trash the Mint and your {{Card|Estate|Estates}}. | Trashing a large number of {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} with Mint drastically thins your deck and greatly helps you with [[deck control]], but because it can remove a large portion of your payload, it can be important to have a way to restore this to be able to afford price points and continue [[build]]ing.
