Tragic Hero has an advantage over true Draw-to-X cards, since it does actually work if you happen to get over the handsize limit, you only lose the Tragic Hero for a [[Treasure]] card. In some cases this might be worth it while you're still building; if you gain a {{Card|Gold}} and buy a new Tragic Hero, you have saved {{cost|1}}. In other cases, similar to {{Card|Mining Village}}, you actually want to get rid of the Tragic Hero for a Gold as long as you can draw it, because the game is almost over. Sometimes there are even better Treasures on the board than Gold, such as {{Card|Horn of Plenty}} or {{Card|Platinum}}. Tragic Hero can provide you with some extra payload in these cases, but it requires solid deck knowledge - if you don't know exactly what you're doing, you will be blowing up your engine without good reason. In rare cases, you could even go for a Tragic Hero [[megaturn]], like with {{Card|Madman}}. | Tragic Hero has an advantage over true Draw-to-X cards, since it does actually work if you happen to get over the handsize limit, you only lose the Tragic Hero for a [[Treasure]] card.

|Text=I tried several cards as ways to get another use for {{Card|Ghost}} into the set (with {{Card|Haunted Mirror}} being the one that stuck). One of them looked like this with no +Buy and Ghost instead of a Treasure. It was fun but you got too many Ghosts. You get a Ghost and it hits another Tragic Hero and that turns it into another Ghost. I played around with wordings that made that not happen but then Haunted Mirror took over. Late in the going I had a card I wasn't confident in, and I looked for what could replace it. I tried this, only gaining {{Card|Gold}}, and it immediately worked out. Matt suggested that it could gain any Treasure and that worked out too. | |Text=I tried several cards as ways to get another use for {{Card|Ghost}} into the set (with {{Card|Haunted Mirror}} being the one that stuck).
