Set aside

From DominionStrategy Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

To set aside a card is to place it on the table apart from your play area; such cards are not discarded during Clean-up, and are not considered to be "in play" for any purpose. This can be temporary, or permanent; in either case, if the game ends while you have cards set aside, they are returned to your deck before scores are calculated. Often, cards that set aside themselves and/or other cards come with mats to help mark the set aside area as special. Setting aside can be used as a way to mark cards as not required for the effect of an Action or Treasure being resolved, as a way to save cards for later use, or as a way to permanently remove a card from your deck without trashing it. Duration cards that are not discarded during Clean-up are not considered set aside; they are still in play.
