+1 Action Gain a Gold onto your deck. (This is not in the Supply.)

Bag of Gold is an Action-Prize card from Cornucopia. It is not in the Supply, and can only be gained by playing a Tournament.

A relatively weak Gold-gainer (and by far the weakest Prize), Bag of Gold was removed from the second edition of Cornucopia & Guilds and replaced by the Reward Demesne, a Gold-gainer with other useful abilities, as part of the replacement of Tournament and Prizes with Joust and Rewards.

FAQ

Official FAQ

• The Gold you gain is put on top of your deck.
• If there are no Golds left in the Supply, you do not gain one.

Strategy

For discussion of Bag of Gold's interaction with Tournament, refer to the Tournament strategy section.

Bag of Gold is a weaker Prize but can be a worthwhile addition when a good trash-for-benefit effect (such as Apprentice or Remodel) is available and you don't already have a good way to continuously provide fodder for it. Occasionally it can also be appealing as a way to add payload to your deck, particularly if the alternatives for doing so are not very good but you have overdraw, so you can reliably play Bag of Gold and draw the Golds you gain.

Secret History

Bag of Gold originally did not give +1 Action.

Retrospective

I would like Bag of Gold to be better relative to the other prizes.

—Donald X. Vaccarino, What Donald X. Might Do With a Dominion Time Machine

If I had it to do again, I might give Bag of Gold +3 Actions. That is again just a weird fraction of a card.
