-See the card pages and more below. Please add more examples here.
+See [[Opening#Unusual_openings|Unusual Openings]] for examples.
-=== Baker ===
-* {{Split|4|3}} turns into  {{Split|4|4}} for double {{Card|Treasure Map}}.
-=== Nomad Camp ===
-*  {{Split|4|3}} turns into {{Split|4|4}} (2 buys), and is useful to get 2 {{Card|Chapel|Chapels}} or {{Card|Fool's Gold|Fool's Golds}}
-=== Mandarin ===
-* Allows you to get another {{Cost|5}} card before the reshuffle.
-=== Borrow ===
-* Much like {{Card|Baker}}, allows for potential splits of {{Split|6|2}}, {{Split|6|1}}, {{Split|5|3}}, and {{Split|4|4}}; unlike Baker, though, it can't turn a {{Split|2|5}} into a {{Split|3|5}}.
-=== Ghost Town ===
-* Since it is gained to the hand and gives an extra card on the next turn, it allows for splits such as {{Split|4|4}}, {{Split|3|5}}, and {{Split|5|3}} (though it is rarely a good idea to open {{Card|Ghost Town}} rather than a {{Cost|5}} card.)
