FAQ
Official FAQ
- If the card is an Action card, you can play it, but do not have to.
- If you do play it, you move it into your play area and follow its instructions; this does not use up one of your Action plays for the turn.
Other Rules clarifications
Strategy
Vassal is strong in decks with high action density when you have some +action to spare. However, be aware that there are some cards you sometimes don't really want to reveal (though playing them is optional). (For instance, your Trade Route when you have only strong cards in hand). It is best with strong trashing.
Synergies/Combos
- Strong trashing, even if not mandatory since vassal is not mandatory (trashing initial coppers and estates helps a vassal engine a lot) (Chapel, Steward)
- Cards that reveal or let you control the top card - Magpie in particular excels at this, because revealing an action both gives you an action to play with your vassal, and gives you another magpie if there are any left. City Gate is a perfect exemple too.
- Artisan
- Vagrant
- Sentry
- Wandering Minstrel
Anti-synergies
- Revealing Action cards that are useless on their own, such as Throne Room.
- Cards that have the potential to be harmful to your deck.
