| − | 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}}. | + | Borrow is rather straightforward: you get an extra coin to spend this turn, but you'll draw one card less next turn.
