FAQ

Official FAQ

  • When you gain a Farrier you overpaid for, you draw an extra card at end of turn per $1 you overpaid.
  • For example you could pay for $4 Farrier, and draw 2 extra cards at end of turn.
  • This doesn't happen if you gain a Farrier without paying for it (such as with Horn of Plenty).

Secret History

For a while this slot was a filtering card from Allies and then Hinterlands 2E. It was cool but not a great fit here (it was great in Hinterlands, but redundant). I ended up just doing a cantrip +Buy as a nice thing to pair with the bottom. The bottom tried to be overpay for Coffers, something that had seemed too strong in original Guilds testing. At first it seemed promising, but eventually it seemed strong, plus I was sick of it. Then it was overpay for Silvers, just like Masterpiece, but I got sick of that one so fast. This idea seemed great immediately and just had to overcome people being scared of it. The art depicts Wei-Hwa Huang, since his previous card, Pearl Diver, got replaced.
