The three exceptions to this are Ruins, {{Card|Knights}}, and [[Split pile]] cards, which are each Supply piles containing more than one differently named cards; in these cases, only the top card of the pile is visible to players and available to be bought or gained. For this reason, although the entirety of any Supply pile is physically part of the Supply, only the top card of any pile is considered to be "in the Supply". For instance, when {{Card|Band of Misfits}} requires you to choose a "card in the Supply", you may not choose a card in the Ruins or Knights pile other than the one on top. |

Should it cease to be empty, such as through {{Card|Ambassador}}, it would once again be part of the Supply. A player can always check how many cards are left in any Supply pile, as well as any non-Supply pile. |

The asterisk in their cost has no effect on gameplay other than to signify this; all effects that care about costs affect non-Supply cards normally. ({{Card|Peddler}} and {{Card|Grand Market}} are [[Kingdom]] cards which also have an asterisk, but only to signify there are special conditions regarding their cost.)
