| − | [[Image:Poor_House.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Poor House]], a virtual coin card.]] | + | '''Virtual coin''', also called '''virtual money''', refers to an [[Action]] card which provides buying power. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Virtual coin''', also called '''virtual money''', refers to non-[[Treasure]] sources of buying power, especially [[Action]] cards.
| + | [[Non-terminal]] virtual-coin Actions are often classified as either [[cantrip money]] or [[disappearing money]] based on whether they provide +Cards or not. [[Terminal]] virtual-coin Actions almost never provide +Cards. |
| − | | + | == Synergies/Combos == |
| − | [[Non-terminal]] virtual-coin Actions are often classified as either [[disappearing money]] or [[Peddler variant]]s based on whether they are [[stop card]]s or not. [[Terminal]] virtual-coin Actions are almost always stop cards. | + | * {{Card|Poor House}} - Poor house provides good buying power in decks without treasure, and the poor house itself is a form of virtual coin. |
| − | | + | * {{Card|Tactician}} - Tactician benefits from virtual coin played on the turn where Tactician is played; this strategy requires +Actions. First play the cards providing virtual coin, and play Tactician as the last action, discarding the hand, before making a purchase. The [[Double Tactician]] strategy usually relies heavily on this. |
| − | == Strategy == | + | * Counter to {{Card|Pirate Ship}} - Virtual coin decks counter pirate ship effectively, as there are fewer or no targets for the pirate ship. |
| − | Action-based {{Cost}} generation is important for certain types of [[draw]] [[engine]]s, for example [[draw-to-X]]. Also refer to [[Disappearing money#Engines which benefit from disappearing money|Engines which benefit from disappearing money]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Additionally, Action-based payload synergizes with [[Throne room variant]]s which are often unable to be used on [[Treasure]]s.

| − | There are a tremendous number of cards that offer virtual coin. [[Fate]] cards provide virtual coin when they reveal {{Boon|The Field's Gift}} or {{Boon|The Forest's Gift}}. In addition, {{Way|Way of the Chameleon}} from [[Menagerie (expansion)|Menagerie]] can turn most draw cards into virtual coin and vice versa. | + | There are a tremendous number of cards that offer virtual coin. |
