'''Watchtower''' is an [[Action]]–[[Reaction]] card from [[Prosperity]]. It is useful in certain [[engine]]s and as a defense against many attacks—its Action effect defends against [[handsize attack]]s and its reaction against [[junking attack]]s. It reacts any time a card is gained, including when you gain one, allowing you to put a newly bought card on top of your deck to play it the very next turn.

* If you have 6 or more cards in hand already, you don't draw any cards.  
* You may reveal Watchtower each time you gain a card; for example if another player plays Mountebank, you may use Watchtower to trash both the Curse and Copper, or to trash the Curse and put the Copper on top of your deck, or just to trash the Curse, and so on.
+
* When you gain a card, directly afterwards, you may reveal Watchtower from your hand, to either trash the gained card or put it on top of your deck (with Watchtower staying in your hand).
* You still did gain whatever card you gained; you just immediately trash it. So if Mountebank gives you a Curse and you trash it, the Curse pile will go down by one as the Curse gets moved to the trash pile.
+
* You may reveal Watchtower whether you gained the card due to buying it, or gained it some other way, such as with {{Card|Expand}} or {{Card|Mountebank}}.  
* You may reveal Watchtower on your own turn as well, for example when buying a card, or gaining a card via something like Expand.
+
* You may reveal Watchtower each time you gain a card, and each gain is a separate decision; for example if another player plays Mountebank, you may reveal Watchtower to trash both the {{Card|Copper}} and {{Card|Curse}}, or just one, or trash one and put the other on your deck, and so on.  
* If you use Watchtower to put a card on your deck but have no cards left in your deck, you do not shuffle; the gained card becomes the only card in your deck.
+
* Cards trashed with Watchtower were still gained; they were just immediately trashed afterwards.  
* Revealing Watchtower does not take it out of your hand; you could reveal Watchtower on multiple opponents' turns and still have it on your turn to draw up to 6 with.
+
* If a gained card is going somewhere other than to your discard pile, such as a card gained with {{Card|Mine}}, you can still use Watchtower to trash it or put it on your deck.
* When cards are gained during a Possession turn (from Dominion:Alchemy), the player who played Possession is the one who can use Watchtower, not the player who is being possessed.  
+
* If a gained card is going somewhere other than to your discard pile, such as a card gained with Mine (from Dominion), you can still use Watchtower to trash it or put it on your deck.

* Watchtower's topdecking happens after the gain happens; the card still visits the discard pile, or whatever location it was gained to.

At {{Cost|3}}, Watchtower was the most expensive [[Reaction]] until the release of [[Cornucopia]], but well worth the price.  It is one of the most versatile cards in the game, and one of the few Actions that provides a benefit even without playing it.
  
 
First, and most obviously, Watchtower is a devastating defense card against Curse-givers.  Not only does it block the Curse from entering your deck, it actually trashes the Curse, meaning that an attack-heavy opponent will soon find himself running out of Curses to give.  (Compare to {{Card|Moat}}, which, against a {{Card|Witch}}-heavy player, only delays the inevitable.)  Although it provides no defense against “deck-inspection” attacks (e.g. {{Card|Spy}}, {{Card|Thief}}, {{Card|Pirate Ship}}, {{Card|Rabble}}), it does subtly defend against handsize-reduction attacks by allowing you to draw back up to 6.

Finally, Watchtower can form part of a good card-drawing engine.  Although {{Card|Library}} is superior (both because it draws more cards, and also because it can discard unwanted Actions), Watchtower is much cheaper and fulfills other roles as well.  In addition, drawing a dead Watchtower (either because you have no Actions left, or because your hand size is very large already) is much less of a liability than a dead Library because of its other uses, as noted above.  It is especially useful with {{Card|Vault}}.

Card text
Draw until you have 6 cards in hand.
When you gain a card, you may reveal this from your hand, to either trash that card or put it onto your deck.

Watchtower is an ActionReaction card from Prosperity. It is useful in certain engines and as a defense against many attacks—its Action effect defends against handsize attacks and its reaction against junking attacks. It reacts any time a card is gained, including when you gain one during your or another player's turn, allowing you to trash the card or put it on top of your deck. In some situations this will allow you to use the new card on your current turn (or at least the very next turn).

Strategy Article

Original article by theory

At $3, Watchtower was the most expensive Reaction until the release of Cornucopia, but well worth the price. It is one of the most versatile cards in the game, and one of the few Actions that provides a benefit even without playing it.

First, and most obviously, Watchtower is a devastating defense card against Curse-givers. Not only does it block the Curse from entering your deck, it actually trashes the Curse, meaning that an attack-heavy opponent will soon find himself running out of Curses to give. (Compare to MoatMoat.jpg, which, against a WitchWitch.jpg-heavy player, only delays the inevitable.) Although it provides no defense against “deck-inspection” attacks (e.g. SpySpy.jpg, ThiefThief.jpg, Pirate ShipPirate Ship.jpg, RabbleRabble.jpg), it does subtly defend against handsize-reduction attacks by allowing you to draw back up to 6.

Second, if you’re willing to hold onto Watchtower and not play it, it works as a mini-Royal SealRoyal Seal.jpg, minus the $2. There are some ridiculous ways to take advantage of this; most powerful is probably playing a TalismanTalisman.jpg, buying a Treasure MapTreasure Map.jpg, gaining another one, and putting them both on the deck! More commonly, you can buy something like Village/Smithy or Throne RoomThrone Room.jpg/[some other action] and ensure that you draw them together next turn. Even when you just have one buy, Watchtower can make sure you play important attack cards before your opponent gets a chance to.

Third, and this is a very specialized use, Watchtower greatly increases the power of GoonsGoons.jpg. Ordinarily, Goons-heavy players will avoid buying too many Coppers for VP tokens for fear of weighing down their deck. Watchtower solves this problem by trashing the Coppers as they come in, while still collecting the VP tokens.

Finally, Watchtower can form part of a good card-drawing engine. Although LibraryLibrary.jpg is superior (both because it draws more cards, and also because it can discard unwanted Actions), Watchtower is much cheaper and fulfills other roles as well. In addition, drawing a dead Watchtower (either because you have no Actions left, or because your hand size is very large already) is much less of a liability than a dead Library because of its other uses, as noted above. It is especially useful with VaultVault.jpg.

With the release of Dark Ages, Watchtower gained a new use - activating on-trash abilities : ▪ IronworksIronworks.jpg a FortressFortress.jpg, and instantly trash it to put it in your hand ! ▪ WorkshopWorkshop.jpg a FeodumFeodum.jpg, and instantly trash it for three SilversSilver.jpg, which can go directly on top of your deck ! ▪ UpgradeUpgrade.jpg a FortressFortress.jpg into a CultistCultist.jpg... and instantly trash the Cultist for +3 cards ! ▪ Use a spare Buy to buy a CurseCurse.jpg, instantly trashing it to activate your Market SquareMarket Square.jpg ! ▪ Buy and trash a SquireSquire.jpg, and gain a topdecked FamiliarFamiliar.jpg without even needing a PotionPotion.jpg !

Secret History

This showed up late in development, after another card left. Dale complained that the set had no reaction, and this was one I'd been meaning to try. The first version, which lasted only a couple days, also let you put the card into your hand. Destry pointed out the Ironworks combo and so much for that.
