"'''Virtual +Buy"''' is an informal term for cards that do not provide [[+Buy]] per se, but can serve a similar function to those that do in that they allow you to gain multiple cards per turn. Either +buy or virtual +buy is usually needed for [[engine]] strategies, in order to accumulate a sufficient density of engine components in your deck quickly.

Stonemason, a virtual +Buy card.

"Virtual +Buy" is an informal term for cards that do not provide +Buy per se, but can serve a similar function to those that do in that they allow you to gain multiple cards per turn.

Cards that provide virtual +Buy include:

Gainers are distinct from sources of +Buy, but some card-gaining effects generate multiple gains from a single Buy. While many of these effects are very restricted, often gaining a specific card only, some a rather flexible:
