There are several things that can substitute for Goons. Any discard-down-to-three attack will work, but Goons is the best because it allows you to score points without having to buy green victory cards. With {{Card|Militia}}, for example, the worst case scenario is that you’ll be “resetting” the game, though of course you have a massive advantage since you have cards in your deck and your opponent doesn’t. {{Card|Outpost}} is another way to get in enough plays of Masquerade to trash your opponent’s hand, and has the added benefit of being unblockable by reactions. The combo of {{Card|Mountebank}} and {{Card|Cutpurse}} can also work, since after a few King's Courted Mountebanks your opponent will start reliably drawing at least two Coppers in each hand. | There are several things that can substitute for Goons.
