Strategy Article
Stables is a good card, usually compared with Laboratory. A non-terminal 3+ cards is often very powerful, but the requirement that you discard a treasure is a bit of a drawback. Usually you hope to discard a Copper, but sometimes you have to make a decision of whether or not to discard a better treasure card. As such, it is usually not quite as spammable as Lab, but can be more powerful in the right deck.
