There is no strategy article for Borrow, but it has been discussed on the [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=14811.0 forum.]

There is no strategy article for Borrow yet, as Adventures is the newest expansion, and the community is still discussing how best to use it.  If you have ideas, please share them on the [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php forum!]
  
Borrow is rather straightforward: you get an extra coin to spend this turn, but you'll draw one card less next turn. On average, a card is worth more than a coin, so it's definitely not a deal you should make every turn. However, if you absolutely need a certain key card early on, Borrow can be very useful. For example, it can mitigate the negative effects of opening {{cost|4}}/{{cost|3}} on a board with {{Card|Mountebank}} or {{cost|5}} cost Trashers such as {{Card|Junk Dealer}} and {{Card|Count}}. It can also help you to hit {{cost|3}}{{Cost||||P}} for {{Card|Familiar}} on the second shuffle. Late-game, especially in [[Big Money]] games, hitting {{cost|7}} is not as big of a disadvantage anymore, since you can just Borrow to hit {{Card|Province}}.

=== Donald X.'s opinion ===
 
{{Quote|Text=
 
I usually Borrow turn 1 or 2. I never feel bad about that, but sometimes feel like I Borrowed too much later. Obv. you do it late-game any time it does you any good.
 
 
In games with {{Card|Militia}}s, it's tempting to constantly Borrow. Take that, {{Card|Minion}}. But it's a combo with {{Card|Minion}} too, so it evens out.
