The four exceptions to this are Ruins, {{Card|Knights}}, {{Card|Castles}}, and [[Split pile]] cards, which are each Supply piles two or more 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. |

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. (An asterisk may be also be used in a [[Kingdom]] card's cost to represent that it is an unusual cost, such as with {{Card|Peddler}}.)
