− | ''' | + | '''{{Card|Peddler}} variant''', or '''cantrip money''', is a catch-all term for [[cantrip|cantrips]] that give +{{Cost|}}. They fit very easily into almost any [[engine]], since, as long as they are not drawn [[dead]] by a [[terminal draw]] card with no actions remaining, they can always be played to increase buying power without obstructing your access to other engine cards. |
The simplest possible Peddler variant—a card that simply gives +1 Card, +1 Action, +{{Cost|1}}—does not exist; all Peddler variants carry at least one other bonus, penalty, or quirk aside from the cantrip-money effect. [[Donald X. Vaccarino]] has commented that leaving this niche unfilled gives him more flexibility in designing variants. Consensus among analysts was that such a card, if it existed, would be balanced at a cost of roughly {{Cost|4}}; however, {{card|Poacher}} was eventually introduced with a cost of {{cost|4}}, and is almost [[strictly better|strictly worse]] than "vanilla peddler". | The simplest possible Peddler variant—a card that simply gives +1 Card, +1 Action, +{{Cost|1}}—does not exist; all Peddler variants carry at least one other bonus, penalty, or quirk aside from the cantrip-money effect.
