Editing Terminal draw

[[Image:Smithy.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Smithy]], a terminal draw card.]]

'''Terminal draw''' cards—[[Action]] cards that increase the number of cards in hand but are [[terminal]]—can be a core component of [[engine]]s when supplied with sufficient [[villages]] because they can enable you to draw most or all of your deck each turn as a form of [[deck control]]. If a [[Kingdom]] is missing important components for an engine, certain terminal draw cards (for example {{Card|Wharf}} or {{Card|Gear}}) are good enablers of a [[Money strategy|money-based strategy]]. In both cases terminal draw aids deck [[cycling]], helping new buys get shuffled into the deck sooner.

The chief danger of terminal draw cards is their ability to draw other Action cards you are unable to play; these Action cards are said to be drawn [[dead]].

Terminals that provide +3 Cards or more are sometimes referred to as {{Card|Smithy}} variants, after the simplest [[vanilla]] terminal draw card. 

== List of terminal draw cards ==
{{Way|Way of the Chameleon}} from [[Menagerie (expansion)|Menagerie]] can turn most {{Cost}}-[[virtual coin|generating Action]] cards into terminal draw and vice versa.

===Variable===

==== Draw-to-x ====
Certain terminal Actions [[Draw-to-x|draw up to a specified handsize]]. These are especially useful against [[handsize attack|handsize attacks]] or other cards that can reduce handsize between turns, and in engines with handsize-reducing components such as {{Card|Festival}} and {{Card|Hamlet}}.

* [[Prosperity]]: {{card|Magnate}} draws a number of cards equal to the number of [[Treasure]]s in your hand.
* [[Hinterlands]]: 
** {{Card|Crossroads}} draws cards depending on the number of [[Victory]] cards in hand (but is [[non-terminal]] the first time it is played each turn).
** {{card|Guard Dog}} draws 4 cards if played from a small starting hand, but only 2 cards if played from a larger hand. 
* [[Cornucopia and Guilds]]: 
** {{card|Carnival}} draws up to four cards, but can't draw multiple copies of the same card.

* [[Empires]]: {{Card|Royal Blacksmith}} - effective handsize increase depends on the amount of {{Card|Copper}} in your deck.
* [[Allies]]: {{card|Broker}} can draw cards depending on what card is trashed with it.
* [[Allies]]: {{card|Marquis}} - effective handsize increase depends on your starting handsize.
