'''Death Cart''' is an [[Action]]–[[Looter]] card from [[Dark Ages]]. When played, it gives +{{Cost|5}}; but it forces you to trash another Action card, or trashes itself if you cannot. It also gives you two [[Ruins]], which, conveniently, make for good Actions to trash, if you can draw them with the Death Cart.

<sup>††</sup> ''With the [[Dominion 2019 Errata and Rules Tweaks|2019 Version]], the trashing of either the Death Cart or a Action card from your hand is entirely optional.''
== Strategy ==
Death Cart is a weak [[terminal]] [[payload]] card. While it generates a large amount of {{Cost}}, it also comes with two {{Card|Ruins}} on gain, adding a total of three [[stop card]]s to your deck and putting a significant strain on your [[deck control]]. In addition, because the sustainable use of it requires [[terminal space]], fodder (likely starting with the Ruins it came with), [[collision]] with said fodder, and the sacrifice of two cards' worth of hand size, other sources of payload are often easier to use and more reliable in the long run, and Death Cart is skippable in many [[Kingdom]]s.  


=== Other Rules clarifications ===
Death Cart does, however, have three use cases:
== Strategy Article ==
# It can be serviceable payload in decks that can address most of these issues. Most often, this comes from having a very high level of deck control, and can occur with very strong [[draw]] options that prefer [[virtual coin|Action-based]] payload, for example {{Card|Scrying Pool}}, {{Card|City Quarter}}, or {{Card|Cursed Village}}. You’ll then also need terminal space to spare, and probably therefore [[village (card category)|villages]]. On top of all this, if you plan to play a copy of Death Cart more than three times you’ll need a way to resupply it, as otherwise you’ll have to trash it; sources of [[+Buy]] to buy Ruins or cards that generate fodder well (such as {{Card|Fortress}}) can help solve this. Similarly, in the late stages of the game, if you have enough [[overdraw]] to [[gain-and-play]] a Death Cart, you can avoid some of its long-term downsides, most importantly by trashing one of its Ruins before it can impede your ability to draw your deck.
See [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=8749.0 here] for a Death Cart strategy article.
# Other times, Death Cart is important for the Ruins it gains. For example, this may be useful to access a strong [[Way]] such as {{Way|Way of the Horse}}, or to provide fodder for a [[trash-for-benefit]] effect such as {{Event|Advance}}. The effect of getting three total [[Action]] cards with one gain (e.g. with a [[Workshop variant]]) can also be relevant in the endgame to score with effects like {{Landmark|Museum}}, or to facilitate a [[three-pile ending|pileout]] by emptying the Ruins pile.
# Because it can generate so much {{Cost}}, Death Cart can be used to [[spike]] very high price points such as {{Cost|8}} for a {{Card|Province}} to use with {{Card|Tournament}}. In the early stages of the game where this is relevant, however, you may not have the deck control to collide Death Cart with a Ruin, and so it is fairly likely that you will have to trash Death Cart itself, which has the undesirable side effect of leaving you with two Ruins in your deck.


{{Cost|5}} is seriously a lot of money, so if you have a way to keep getting cheap junk for Death Cart to trash and a way to match the Death Cart up with the cheap junk, it's a superb money source. It can make for a great [[Treasure]]-less [[engine]], where you get coin for playing 1-2 Death Carts each turn, trashing either [[Ruins]] or cheap [[cantrip|cantrips]] like {{Card|Vagrant}} or {{Card|Pearl Diver}}.
Although it's rare for this to be an important consideration, the presence of Death Cart does make it very likely that [[+Buy]] is available in the form of {{Card|Ruined Market}}. If {{Card|Ruined Market}} is visible (and crucial as the only source of +Buy), obtaining a Death Cart may be a decent way to add it to your deck. However, if it is not visible, it is very rarely a good idea to go looking for it, as gaining a Death Cart in that case is just as likely to leave {{Card|Ruined Market}} exposed, allowing your opponent to gain it, as it is to gain you a {{Card|Ruined Market}}.


However, Death Cart is not a good buy early in the game. When you rely on shuffle luck to match up your Death Cart with your Ruins, there's a high chance of missing, and the two extra cards severely slow down your cycling.
===External strategy articles===
 
''Note: Article(s) below are by individual authors and may not represent the community's current views on cards, but may provide more in-depth information or give historical perspective. Caveat emptor.''
And when you play Death Cart many times, you'll need a way to replenish its fuel - +Buy is the easiest, since Ruins will always be available, but {{Card|Fortress}} and {{Card|Rats}} also serve the same function.
* [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=8749.0 terminalCopper's 2013 article]
=== Synergies/Combos ===
* {{Card|Fortress}} can provide endless fuel for Death Cart.
* {{Card|Necromancer}} can play Death Cart in the trash without penalty.
* Death Cart counters other [[Looter|Looters]] hard - the extra Ruins become a benefit and not a drawback!
* {{Card|Rats}} can provide free Death Cart fodder, turning your {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} and [[Shelters]] into Actions.
* {{Card|Market Square}} is extremely good with Death Cart, as it is with any other [[trasher]]. Death Cart/Market Square is probably one of the few good Death Cart openings.
* If you have {{Card|Watchtower}} in hand, you can buy a Death Cart, trash one Ruins, and topdeck Death Cart and the other Ruins. This gives you all of Death Cart's benefit and none of the problems you normally have in lining up your Death Cart and your Ruins.
* {{Card|Cultist}} : First you give the Ruins to your opponents, and then you buy Death Cart without Ruins and trash the Cultists for +{{Cost|5}} and +3 cards.
* In combination with {{project|Capitalism}} it can become a cheap {{Card|Platinum}}.
 
=== Antisynergies ===
* [[Curser|Cursers]] will make it extremely difficult to match up your Death Cart with your Actions.

Strategy

Death Cart is a weak terminal payload card. While it generates a large amount of $, it also comes with two Ruins on gain, adding a total of three stop cards to your deck and putting a significant strain on your deck control. In addition, because the sustainable use of it requires terminal space, fodder (likely starting with the Ruins it came with), collision with said fodder, and the sacrifice of two cards' worth of hand size, other sources of payload are often easier to use and more reliable in the long run, and Death Cart is skippable in many Kingdoms.

Death Cart does, however, have three use cases:

  1. It can be serviceable payload in decks that can address most of these issues. Most often, this comes from having a very high level of deck control, and can occur with very strong draw options that prefer Action-based payload, for example Scrying Pool, City Quarter, or Cursed Village. You’ll then also need terminal space to spare, and probably therefore villages. On top of all this, if you plan to play a copy of Death Cart more than three times you’ll need a way to resupply it, as otherwise you’ll have to trash it; sources of +Buy to buy Ruins or cards that generate fodder well (such as Fortress) can help solve this. Similarly, in the late stages of the game, if you have enough overdraw to gain-and-play a Death Cart, you can avoid some of its long-term downsides, most importantly by trashing one of its Ruins before it can impede your ability to draw your deck.
  2. Other times, Death Cart is important for the Ruins it gains. For example, this may be useful to access a strong Way such as Way of the Horse, or to provide fodder for a trash-for-benefit effect such as Advance. The effect of getting three total Action cards with one gain (e.g. with a Workshop variant) can also be relevant in the endgame to score with effects like Museum, or to facilitate a pileout by emptying the Ruins pile.
  3. Because it can generate so much $, Death Cart can be used to spike very high price points such as $8 for a Province to use with Tournament. In the early stages of the game where this is relevant, however, you may not have the deck control to collide Death Cart with a Ruin, and so it is fairly likely that you will have to trash Death Cart itself, which has the undesirable side effect of leaving you with two Ruins in your deck.

Secret History

This card exists to provide a way to give yourself Ruins. So that people don't just hate it, it gives you a use for the Ruins it comes with, a use so good that you almost feel like coming with Ruins is a plus. This has a when-gain ability, like those Hinterlands cards. My initial plan was to do these here and there in the sets after Hinterlands, back when Hinterlands was half of the 2nd expansion. That didn't work out, seeing as how Hinterlands is 6th, but well here's another when-gain card anyway.
