They make a welcome addition to almost any [[engine]] strategy, in which large handsizes allow you to find and line up your key engine components. Many of them are helpful in [[Big Money]] strategies as well, but to a lesser degree: the +Action is less important in a [[Treasure]]-heavy Big Money deck, and they typically provide smaller handsizes than [[terminal draw]] cards. |
The simplest [[vanilla]] non-terminal draw card is {{Card|Laboratory}}; cards that have similar effects are therefore sometimes referred to as '''Lab variants'''. | The simplest [[vanilla]] non-terminal draw card is {{Card|Laboratory}}; cards that have similar effects are therefore sometimes referred to as '''Lab variants'''. | ||

− | * | + | * ''{{Card|Tribute}}'' and {{Card|Ironmonger}} can act as Lab variants depending on what card is on top of your opponent's deck or your deck. |
− | * | + | * {{Card|Shanty Town}} acts as a Lab variant if you have no [[Action]] cards in hand, but otherwise decreases handsize. |
− | * | + | * {{card|Diplomat}} acts as a Lab variant if your handsize is small, but otherwise is [[terminal]]. |
− | * | + | * {{card|Secret Passage}} is a non-terminal source of +2 Cards, but then you return a card to your deck, so it maintains handsize rather than increasing it. |
− | * | + | * {{Card|Native Village}} and {{Card|Crypt}} both hide away cards, rather than drawing them, but can non-terminally add them to your hand. |
− | * | + | * {{Card|Apprentice}} provides non-terminal draw if you trash a card costing {{Cost|3}} or more. |
− | * | + | * {{Card|City}} provides non-terminal draw if one or more [[supply]] piles are empty. |
− | * | + | * {{Card|Crossroads}} provides non-terminal draw the first time you play it on a turn, if there are multiple [[Victory card|Victory cards]] in your hand. |
+ | * {{Card|Cultist}} is technically terminal, but will allow you to play additional Cultists after it. | ||
+ | * {{Card|Fugitive}} is a non-terminal source of +2 Cards, but its required discard means it maintains handsize, rather than increasing it. | ||

+ | * {{Event|Pathfinding}}, when used on a [[cantrip]] pile, turns that card into non-terminal draw. | ||

+ | * {{Card|Forum}} is a non-terminal source of +3 Cards, but its required discard means it maintains handsize, rather than increasing it. | ||
+ | * {{Card|Imp}} allows you to play an Action that you don't yet have a copy of in play, which can make it non-terminal if the other Action you play also is. | ||
+ | * {{Card|Avanto}} allows you to play a cantrip {{Card|Sauna}} if you have one in your hand after drawing, giving you back the Action you used to play Avanto. | ||
+ | * {{card|Recruiter}} gives you [[Villagers]] if you trash a card with a non-zero coin cost, allowing you to recover the Action you used to play it if you want to. However, since trashing is mandatory, this doesn't actually increase handsize. | ||
+ | * {{card|Sheepdog}} can provide draw without using up an Action if you gain a card while you have it in hand. | ||
+ | * {{card|Goatherd}} provides non-terminal draw if your opponent trashed multiple cards on their last turn. | ||
