FAQ

Official FAQ

  • Anything that causes you to reveal a Patron, and specifically uses the word "reveal," causes you to get +1 Coffers.
  • For example if you play a Border GuardBorder Guard.jpg and reveal two Patrons, you will get +2 Coffers.
  • Other players seeing a card, without the word "reveal" being used, is not enough; for example if another player plays a VillainVillain.jpg and you discard a Patron, you do not get +1 Coffers.

Other rules clarifications

  • Once Patron is revealed, getting +1 Coffers is not optional.
  • If you play Black MarketBlack Market.jpg and Patron is one of the 3 cards revealed from the Black Market deck, you get +1 Coffers

Cards that can reveal Patron

Original article by Chris is me

What does Patron do?

In simplest terms, Patron will convert a spare Action you may have into a Villager while also producing +$2. Except in the case where you have no Actions remaining and no Villagers available, Patron is essentially strictly better than Silver. Patron also has a neat Reaction that will give you an extra Coffers when revealed by something.

Why is Patron’s on-play effect useful?

Patron gives you a Villager on-play while also doing something else (providing economy). Villagers are at their most powerful in the early game. Before you have thinned your deck and added a source of +Actions to it, an extra Villager or two can help you resolve terminal collisions, ensuring an otherwise unlucky shuffle doesn’t hurt your momentum. Additionally, the +$2 that Patron provides is useful early on for buying $5 cost cards. Sneaking in a Patron play or two in the first few shuffles thus ends up helping boost your momentum and consistency in this critical part of the game where bad luck could otherwise mess you up. In the worst case, where Patron collides with something else, you can still play both by immediately using the Villager.

Later on in the game, you can use any extra Action plays you have left to stockpile Villagers with your Patrons, providing some extra insurance when greening. The peace of mind helps avoid dud turns when your +Actions doesn’t align perfectly with your +Cards to start the turn.

Of course, there are also the many cases in which you’d prefer your economy to come from Action cards rather than Treasures. Patron can be drawn with Scrying PoolScrying Pool.jpg, multiplied with Throne RoomThrone Room.jpg, and skipped over by LoanLoan.jpg, to name just a few.

Basically, while Patron isn’t going to give you a massive pile of Villagers the way cards like RecruiterRecruiter.jpg do, it is useful to have in your deck simply because just 1 or 2 Villagers can save games for you and help you keep momentum through otherwise awkward collisions.

When The Reaction Matters

Patron is fine for many decks without the Reaction, but if you can reliably and repeatedly get that extra economy boost, Patron can be an excellent card and the primary payload of a deck. A Patron revealed once per time it is played is essentially better than Gold, and with any potential for multiple reveals, the effect compounds from there.

The best reveal cards for Patron tend to be nonterminal – they can be played frequently without a lot of other support, and they usually won’t use any of the Villagers Patron is stacking up. MenagerieMenagerie.jpg and Hunting PartyHunting Party.jpg are two standout examples. Both reveal your whole hand on each play. Hunting Party is more powerful as it gives you some flexibility – you can either keep your Patrons in hand to stock up Coffers, or you can play them to grab your next Patron from the deck. Menagerie is a bit more awkward as it won’t play as effectively if you have multiple Patrons, but since Menagerie is so cheap, you can add them to a deck that doesn’t otherwise need them just for the economy boost. Patron is also an excellent addition to decks that use City QuarterCity Quarter.jpg for draw, as City Quarter reveals your hand on play and the extra economy will help you buy the expensive City Quarters. Scrying Pool also gets a mention, because it reveals every Patron that you draw in a turn, and it is good for Scrying Pool decks to not have to rely on Silver or Gold for economy.

There are many other useful reveal cards to look for. AdvisorAdvisor.jpg is a nice one, as it is nonterminal. CourtierCourtier.jpg is drawn to Patron’s dual-typing. JourneymanJourneyman.jpg is terminal, but you do reveal everything you draw with it (similarly Royal BlacksmithRoyal Blacksmith.jpg reveals your hand after drawing). The list goes on.

Other Useful Synergies

CapitalismCapitalism.jpg merits a special mention as it allows you to use Patron as essentially a next-turn Village. All your Villagers are free when you play Patron in the Buy phase. Throne variants have been mentioned before, but also worthy of note is ScepterScepter.jpg, which can be used to squeeze out extra Villagers in the Buy phase if you need them.

In conclusion, while Patron is one of the least flashy sources of Villagers, it should definitely be considered in any deck that can find space for it. The $4 cost can make it awkward to open, but in most cases, if you were going to open SilverSilver.jpg/$3 cost, you might as well make that Silver a Patron instead.

Trivia

Official card art.

Patron is the only Reaction whose trigger is being revealed. Patron and InheritanceInheritance.jpg (after the Dominion 2019 Errata and Rules Tweaks) are the only card-shaped things to use quotation marks in their English text, and Patron and CapitalismCapitalism.jpg are the only card-shaped things to care about the text on cards.

Secret History

The first version had a two-sided State (it was a CathedralCathedral.jpg that turned into a Cargo ShipCargo Ship.jpg for Treasures if you trashed a $5+ card). When those went away, I preserved the top and added the reaction. I fiddled with the wording some, to try to make it clear, but the idea stayed the same.
