Strategy
Trading Post is a slow trasher and Silver gainer that can still be worthwhile, particularly if you can acquire it early on. While it only thins one net card, the difference between the cards trashed and the Silver gained is significant in the early game, especially given that you can use the Silver on the same turn. The ideal scenario for Trading Post is to buy it in the opening if you can afford it with a / split or some ancillary effect such as Borrow; this ensures that you will draw it with plenty of junk to trash and can add payload immediately, likely meaning you can afford another important pricepoint. Because of its high price and terminal nature, Trading Post is often skippable if more accessible options for thinning are available (e.g. Forager), and it’s rare to want more than one copy.
Thinning with Trading Post means it is difficult to trash a single junk card if the rest of your hand consists of good cards you would prefer to not trash. Occasionally, it can be worth selecting a Silver as one of your trashing targets, which produces the net effect of trashing a single card without gaining anything; once you have got rid of your junk, turning two Silvers into one can also be useful if you need to continue to thin stop cards.
