When played, Reserve cards are put on your '''Tavern mat''', whence most can be [[call]]ed for an additional effect when a condition is met. Reserve cards can be saved until you want to use them, or simply be left on your mat if you don't want them in your deck anymore. |
Like [[Duration]] cards, Reserve cards usually have weak effects, or no effect, on the turn you play them, to make up for strong but delayed effects when you eventually call them. They include variants of several basic card categories: a [[village (card category)|village]], a [[trasher]], a [[sifter]], a [[gainer]], a [[remodeler]], and a [[Throne Room variant]]. With ordinary cards of most of these categories, you have to hope that shuffle luck will put them in your hand on the turn when they'll most benefit you; as Reserve cards, they wait on your Tavern mat for you to call them when that turn comes. | Like [[Duration]] cards, Reserve cards usually have weak effects, or no effect, on the turn you play them, to make up for strong but delayed effects when you eventually call them.
