| − | == Strategy ==
| |
| − | There is no strategy article for Quest, but it has been discussed on the [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=14941.0 forum.]
| |

| |
| − | Quest gives you three alternative options for gaining a {{Card|Gold}} other than just buying one. They are all fairly mediocre, but assuming Gold is a card you even want (in some [[engine]]s, you won't), if the situation arises at least once per game, Quest did its job.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Discarding the Attack is probably the most useful option, and the only one you can actually try to plan for to some extent. Most Attacks are [[terminal]], so if you buy two of them, for example if you open double {{Card|Ambassador}}, they might [[collision|collide]]. If that happens, you can play one of them, then discard the other one during the Buy phase to gain a Gold. This might be a rare case where Quest is decent in an engine: save a cheap Attack you're not using anymore (maybe an {{Card|Urchin}}, for example), make sure you have enough buys, and get a cheap Gold on top of whatever else you're getting that turn. It's also useful in [[terminal draw]] [[Big Money]] with +Buy, for example with {{Card|Margrave}}: drawing an Attack dead (maybe your other Margrave) is not such a big deal if you can get a Gold out of it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Discarding two {{Card|Curse}}s is nothing you'll be very happy with - you'd rather just trash the Curses if you get the chance, even if it means not getting a Gold. But if you have a dud hand with two Curses and no way to trash them, you might as well go for the Quest to get something useful out of a bad turn. Just don't try to plan for it, that's just not ever worth it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Discarding six cards is a lot. If you want to discard six cards to get a Gold, that means the average value of your cards is less than a {{Card|Copper}}, which in turn either means your deck is pretty bad or you had a really bad turn that involved a draw card of some kind. As with the Curses, don't try to plan for it, but keep the option in the back of your mind.

| |
| − | === Synergies/Combos ===
| |
| − | * COMBO: {{Card|Faithful Hound}}. As it returns to your hand each turn if you use {{Card|Quest}} to discard it, you start every turn with 6 cards, thus guaranteeing you continual consecutive use of {{Card|Quest}} for as long as you wish.
| |
| − | * Opponent's {{Card|Torturer|Torturers}}, as the Curse goes to your hand.
| |
| − | * {{Card|Tunnel|Tunnels}}, as you can use its discard mechanic to discard Tunnels outside of your Clean-Up Phase even if you fail to discard six cards. Works best with [[+Buy]].
| |
| − | * Opponent's {{Card|Haunted Woods}} and a source of [[+Buy]], as you can discard your hand before buying a card to avoid having to put your hand on your deck.
| |
| − | * Opponent's {{Card|Council Room}} or {{Card|Governor}} allowing you to draw on their turn.
| |
| − | * {{Card|Ghost Town}} allows you to begin your second turn with 6 cards.
| |
| − | * {{Card|Hideout}} can provide two curses.

| |
| − | === Possibility of cheating ===
| |
| − | If you discard 2 {{Card|Curse}}s, the wording on Quest doesn't require you to reveal them.
| |
| − | {{Quote|Text=
| |
| − | You are correct, there is an accountability problem. In practice it shouldn't matter, because why would they be unwilling to show you the other {{Card|Curse}}? I mean if they won't, they're either cheating or a jerk. In a friendly game, if they won't show you the other Curse, you do not want to be playing with them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Classic accountability issues like old {{Card|Throne Room}} can be solved in tournaments by asking the judge to confirm that the play is legal. In this case that's just ludicrous; the only information given away by the {{Card|Curse}} is the fact that they're not cheating. Still if that's who you're dealing with, call the judge to confirm.
