'''Swamp Hag''' is an [[Action]]-[[Attack]]-[[Duration]] from [[Adventures]].  It is the main [[curser]] for the set, and effectively {{Card|Embargo|Embargoes}} every card in the [[Supply]] until your next turn.

=== Official FAQ (2021)===
* Playing this sets up two effects for the future: you will get +{{Cost|3}} at the start of your next turn; and until then, other players will gain a {{Card|Curse}} whenever they buy a Card. 
* Players who buy multiple cards will gain a Curse per card bought; players who do not buy any cards will not get any Curses. 
* This is cumulative; if you play two Swamp Hags, and the player after you plays one, then the player after that will get three Curses with any card bought. 
* This does not affect cards gained other ways, only bought cards. 
* Buying [[Event|Events]] is not buying cards and so does not trigger this. 
* If you play Swamp Hag and then take an extra turn immediately, such as with {{Event|Mission}} or {{Card|Outpost}} (from [[Seaside]]), you will get +{{Cost|3}} at the start of that turn and discard Swamp Hag that turn, and other players will never be affected by it. 
* If you want to use a Reaction card like {{Card|Moat}} against Swamp Hag, you have to use it right when Swamp Hag is played.

== Strategy ==
There is no strategy article for Swamp Hag, but the card has been discussed on the [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=14993.0 forum!]

In general, Swamp Hag is considered to be a bit on the weak side for a [[Curser]]. It is, on average, weaker than cards such as {{card|Witch}} for two reasons. First and foremost, the Cursing attack can be circumvented. Your opponent only gets a {{card|Curse}} if they buy a card during their next turn, so the Curse can be avoided by not buying anything. For example, maybe they just wanted to buy something cheap and rather uninteresting anyway, like a {{card|Silver}}, and skipping the Silver buy to avoid getting a Curse might be worth it. The second reason is that Swamp Hag, being a [[Duration]] card, misses more [[shuffle]]s, and on top of it, the Curses that your opponent might gain will also miss more shuffles, because they will be delayed.

There are cases in which Swamp Hag shines. It is important to note that Swamp Hag's attack stacks easily; it doesn't just go off if your opponent buys a card, it goes off with every card they buy. If your opponent wanted to buy 3 cards during their turn, they get 3 Curses with it if you played a single Swamp Hag. If you played two Swamp Hags, and they buy 3 cards, that's 6 Curses for them. Since Swamp Hag does not have a while-in-play clause, you can also successfully {{Card|Throne Room}} it or call a {{Card|Royal Carriage}} on it.

Swamp Hag, like {{Card|Haunted Woods}}, has not just a delayed attack but also a delayed payout; it gives you +{{cost|3}} on the next turn. +{{cost|3}} is a lot of money, but the fact that you won't get it until next turn makes it harder to plan in advance what to do with it. In general, it's not nearly as strong as Haunted Woods' +3 cards on the next turn, nor is it better than Witch or {{card|Mountebank}}'s immediate payout. It works best with other Duration cards that give a benefit on the next turn, since in Dominion, one very good and one very bad turn is often better than two mediocre turns. The +{{cost|3}} can be useful if you want to spike expensive cards early on.

=== Synergies ===
* Opponent's +Buy
* Other Duration cards, especially {{Card|Tactician}}
* {{Card|Throne Room}} variants
* Spiking expensive cards early: {{Card|King's Court}}, {{Event|Pathfinding}}, {{Card|Prince}} (if there are good targets), {{Card|Province}} with {{Card|Tournament}}
* Cards that give you another turn like {{Event|Mission}}.  Play all your Swamp Hags on your last consecutive turn.  Then your opponents are attacked by all of them, and at the end of your next turn all the Swamp Hags are discarded and ready to be played again during your additional turn.


=== Antisynergies ===
* Opponent's [[gainer]]s
* Stronger and more direct [[curser]]s
* {{Card|Possession}}

{{Quote
|Text=Swamp Hag showcases a type of Attack made possible by Duration cards. It makes the other players have worse turns. In this case, anything they buy will be cursed. Two Swamp Hags? Two Curses. It can be grim in multiplayer. They can just choose not to buy anything in order to dodge the Curses and well you will be happy with that too. Try to avoid playing Swamp Hag and {{Card|Outpost}} in the same turn; that Swamp Hag doesn't end up Cursing anyone.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote|Text=One of the first cards in the set. The attack was always the same, except for precise phrasing vs. things like Outpost. At first it gave +{{Cost|1}} on both turns, then +1 Card; now it's +{{Cost|3}} next turn.

=== Donald X.'s opinion ===
{{Quote|Text=I like that it's novel, straightforward, compelling. We didn't have problems with it in playtesting. For sure the intention is not to create stalemates; to the degree that it does, that's bad.

}}
=== Avoiding terminal +1 Card ===
{{Quote|Text=I do avoid it, because it feels bad, you are risking drawing a dead action and all you got for it was +1 Card. I tried it on Swamp Hag anyway, meaning it wasn't out of the question that the card end up like that. It was a negative but not forbidden. Of course when it's "Now and next turn +1 Card" the next turn part feels good.
