One rule of thumb in Dominion is that {{Cost|5}} costs are much stronger than {{Cost|4}} costs. Replace is {{Card|Remodel}}, except with some tricks. It Curses when you gain a Victory card, and topdecks the card if you don’t. Is this really worth the jump from {{Cost|4}} to {{Cost|5}}?
 +
 +
Yes. The answer is yes.
 +
 +
Part of this is that Remodel is just a good card, so even a small upgrade on Remodel makes it worthy of costing {{Cost|5}}. However, both the topdecking and Cursing from Replace are more important than they may first appear.
 +
 +
One common play pattern with Remodel is to remodel {{Card|Silver}} or other {{Cost|3}} costs into a {{Cost|5}} cost. As mentioned earlier, these {{Cost|5}} costs are much stronger than the {{Cost|3}} cost you trash to gain them. Doing this trash is often the correct play, but you do lose some tempo, because you can’t play the {{Cost|3}} cost you trashed and you won’t get to play the {{Cost|5}} cost you gained until your next shuffle. The topdecking from Replace removes much of the tempo loss, since you’ll be able to play the new card on your next turn, or possibly this turn if you have the spare draw.
 +
 +
The Cursing, however, is where Replace shines. The other common play pattern with Remodel is to buy {{Card|Gold|Golds}} or a Gold gainer, then use Remodel to turn those Golds or other {{Cost|6}} costs into {{Card|Province|Provinces}}. Optionally, those Provinces can then be remodelled into other Provinces to end the game faster. Replace does the same job, but hands out Curses while doing it. These Curses are a big part of Replace’s power. Generally, trash-for-benefit cards let the winning player end the game faster, because they can trash Provinces into other Provinces. In Replace’s case, this works in your favor. Cursing slows down your opponent, and Replace does so at a time where it’s critical that your opponent contest {{VP}} and line up their own Replace with trash targets. A Province to Province trash doesn’t just end the game sooner, it also gives your opponent -1{{VP}}. By the time they deal with the Curses, the game may be close to ending.
 +
 +
This cursing is strong enough that Replace trashing Copper into Estate isn’t the worst thing. I mean, it isn’t great. I’d rather gain actual cards. But it’s an okay last-resort option if you don’t have other viable remodel targets. At least you and your opponent both get junked. Replace is also decent at getting rid of Curses – Curse into {{Card|Estate}} giving out a Curse is a 3 VP swing in late game.
 +
 +
For these reasons, although Replace isn’t the most powerful {{Cost|5}}, it’s often worth buying one or two copies. The pile control and Curse potential it offers is too useful to ignore.

  • Like RemodelRemodel.jpg, you first trash a card from your hand, then gain a card from the Supply costing up to $2 more than the trashed card, putting the gained card into your discard pile.
  • Replace gives you an additional bonus based on the types of the gained card; if it is an Action or Treasure you move it to the top of your deck, and if it is a Victory card the other players each gain a CurseCurse.jpg.
  • It is possible to get both bonuses; if you gain HaremHarem.jpg, MillMill.jpg, or NoblesNobles.jpg with Replace, it both goes on your deck and causes the other players to each gain a Curse.

Other Rules clarifications

  • If you gain an Action or Treasure, and then move it elsewhere first, Replace will fail to topdeck it. So if you gain an Action card and then use InnovationInnovation.jpg on it, Replace cannot remove the card from your play area and put it onto your deck.
    • If you do this with an Action-Victory card (like NoblesNobles.jpg), that does not stop Replace from giving out CurseCurse.jpgs.

One rule of thumb in Dominion is that $5 costs are much stronger than $4 costs. Replace is RemodelRemodel.jpg, except with some tricks. It Curses when you gain a Victory card, and topdecks the card if you don’t. Is this really worth the jump from $4 to $5?

Yes. The answer is yes.

Part of this is that Remodel is just a good card, so even a small upgrade on Remodel makes it worthy of costing $5. However, both the topdecking and Cursing from Replace are more important than they may first appear.

One common play pattern with Remodel is to remodel SilverSilver.jpg or other $3 costs into a $5 cost. As mentioned earlier, these $5 costs are much stronger than the $3 cost you trash to gain them. Doing this trash is often the correct play, but you do lose some tempo, because you can’t play the $3 cost you trashed and you won’t get to play the $5 cost you gained until your next shuffle. The topdecking from Replace removes much of the tempo loss, since you’ll be able to play the new card on your next turn, or possibly this turn if you have the spare draw.

The Cursing, however, is where Replace shines. The other common play pattern with Remodel is to buy GoldsGold.jpg or a Gold gainer, then use Remodel to turn those Golds or other $6 costs into ProvincesProvince.jpg. Optionally, those Provinces can then be remodelled into other Provinces to end the game faster. Replace does the same job, but hands out Curses while doing it. These Curses are a big part of Replace’s power. Generally, trash-for-benefit cards let the winning player end the game faster, because they can trash Provinces into other Provinces. In Replace’s case, this works in your favor. Cursing slows down your opponent, and Replace does so at a time where it’s critical that your opponent contest VP and line up their own Replace with trash targets. A Province to Province trash doesn’t just end the game sooner, it also gives your opponent -1VP. By the time they deal with the Curses, the game may be close to ending.

This cursing is strong enough that Replace trashing Copper into Estate isn’t the worst thing. I mean, it isn’t great. I’d rather gain actual cards. But it’s an okay last-resort option if you don’t have other viable remodel targets. At least you and your opponent both get junked.
