'''Treasurer''' is an [[Action]] card from [[Renaissance]]. It is a [[terminal]] gold that either trashes a [[Treasure]] from your hand, gains a [[Trash|trashed]] Treasure to your hand, or gets you its corresponding [[Artifact]], the {{Artifact|Key}}.

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* When you use a Treasurer to gain a Treasure from the trash, that can trigger abilities like the ones on {{Card|Ducat}} and {{Card|Spices}}. 
* You can choose to take the Key even if you already have it.

== Strategy ==
Treasurer is an expensive but solidly useful [[trasher]] and [[payload]] card that offers a good degree of flexibility; it can see some use as a [[gainer]] as well. This flexibility ensures that it’s relevant in most [[Kingdom]]s and continues to be helpful throughout the game.

Initially, Treasurer is primarily useful as a {{Card|Copper}} trasher. When played in this way, it has the same outcome as a {{Card|Moneylender}}, and is similarly good in Kingdoms in which [[thinning]] {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} while still affording relatively expensive purchases is important. The obvious difference is that Treasurer costs {{Cost|5}}, so it’s usually only available in the [[opening]] if you have a {{Split|5|2}} split; if you do, it’s often a good choice, and otherwise you’ll often aim to generate an early {{Cost|5}} to get one. Treasurer also offers more flexibility than {{Card|Moneylender}} even in the early game: for example, you can trash [[Heirloom]]s as well as {{Card|Copper}}, and occasionally you might take an option other than trashing alongside the {{Cost|3}} generated. This is most likely to be beneficial when there’s an important high price point that you want to [[Glossary#S|spike]]. Generally, in this case, you would prefer to take the {{Artifact|Key}} rather than gain a [[Treasure]] (very likely to be {{Card|Copper}}) from the trash at this early stage, but sometimes your target price point may be high and important enough that you need to do the latter (e.g. if it lets you buy an early {{Event|Inheritance}}). Outside the spiking scenario, it’s usually not a good plan to take the {{Artifact|Key}} over trashing {{Card|Copper}}, but there are situations in which you might consider this. For example, it could be worthwhile if the [[draw]] is very strong (e.g. with {{Card|Wharf}}), or if your opponent has no Treasurer yet and you judge it unlikely that they’ll be able to get one any time soon, meaning that you anticipate keeping the {{Artifact|Key}} for many turns.

As you begin to run low on {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} to trash, Treasurer plays become more likely to focus on fighting over the {{Artifact|Key}}. This [[Artifact]] is useful to have, but rarely of great importance. Its value is generally highest in [[money strategies]] and weak or unreliable [[engine]]s, where the extra {{Cost|1}} is more likely to make the difference between missing and hitting an important price point with your next hand; additionally, if your opponent has adopted a similar strategy and therefore isn’t drawing their deck every turn either, you’re more likely to keep the {{Artifact|Key}} for a few turns. If all players can draw their decks consistently and therefore take the {{Artifact|Key}} every turn, no one ever benefits from it (except indirectly, by denying it to the other players), meaning that Treasurer is largely just a [[terminal]] {{Card|Gold}} in this phase of the game.

Treasurer’s ability to regain Treasures from the trash can be very useful in several scenarios. First, in the late game (particularly on your final [[reshuffle|shuffle]] when [[deck control]] no longer matters), you can take a Treasure from the trash to help you afford an extra [[Victory]] card, or otherwise close out the game. If the trash contains more valuable Treasures than {{Card|Copper}} (e.g. because {{Card|Knights}} have been trashing {{Card|Silver|Silvers}}), this ability may become relevant earlier. Second, Treasurer’s gaining ability combines well with certain [[trash-for-benefit]] effects. For example, with sufficient [[Village (card category)|village]] support, you could play multiple {{Card|Bishop|Bishops}} and Treasurers to trash and regain a single {{Card|Gold}} several times per turn, scoring {{VP|4}} per iteration without adding any [[greening|green]] cards to your deck or needing to re-buy fodder for {{Card|Bishop}}. Third, this Treasurer function produces some centralising interactions with Treasures that have a [[one-shot]] aspect to them. Among the most powerful of these is with {{Card|Magic Lamp}}, since regaining this Heirloom after trashing it gives you access to another three {{Card|Wish|Wishes}} if you can meet the conditions to activate it again. Another important interaction in this vein is with {{Card|Stockpile}}: once its pile is empty, there’s usually no way to get your [[Exile|Exiled]] {{Card|Stockpile|Stockpiles}} back, but keeping one in your deck to trash and then regain with Treasurer each turn allows you to discard all your others from Exile, rendering them indefinitely available (with the added benefit that, if you can then play them all, they never get shuffled back into your deck at the end of a turn).

A single Treasurer is often sufficient, but there are scenarios in which you might consider gaining more. In addition to those cases in which your strategy revolves around trashing and regaining Treasures for some important benefit, there are situations in which terminal {{Card|Gold|Golds}} are valuable in their own right, e.g. in a [[draw-to-x]] deck with plenty of village support, or with a [[Throne Room variant]] such as {{Card|King's Court}}.

When [[Exile]] was still in [[Renaissance]], Treasurer interacted with your [[Exile]] mat instead of the trash.

{{Quote|Text=Treasurer can put you down a [[Treasure]], up a Treasure, or even on Treasures. And the {{Artifact|Key}} is like a {{Card|Treasury}}. So it's sure to be a card you treasure.

|Text=Initially this couldn't get stuff from the trash. That change gave it combos and was great. Late in the going I wanted to try to have more Artifacts and squeezed the Key onto this. It didn't need it to be good enough; it was just a place that I could reasonably fit an Artifact.

-{{Card|Spell Scroll}} has an incredibly powerful interaction with Treasurer.  You can take and play the entire pile of Treasurers.  Then on the next turn, each treasurer can play Spell Scroll as long as there are at least 2 actions available.
