This is a treasure with {{Cost|3}}, like Gold. When you gain it, you also gain two Coppers from the Supply. If there are not two Coppers left, just gain as many as you can. You gain only Coppers when you gain Cache, not when you play it. You gain Coppers whether you gained Cache due to buying it, or gained it some other way.

Before it was removed, Cache was a very weak [[Kingdom]] [[Treasure]]; it can be thought of as a slightly cheaper {{Card|Gold}} that comes with two [[junk]] cards. While adding {{Cost|5}} in total [[payload]] may sound appealing, doing so at the cost of adding three [[stop card]]s is relatively weak as a way to improve your [[money density]] in [[money strategies]] and actively harmful to the vast majority of [[engine]]s. The weakness of this effect and the card’s high [[opportunity cost]] make it skippable in the majority of games.
=== Antisynergies ===
Even if you have good [[deck control]], plenty of [[overdraw]], and the ability to trash the {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} easily (e.g. with {{Card|Watchtower}}), Cache is a mediocre option for payload at a high price and likely more risky than just a {{Card|Gold}}. If there is no viable payload other than Treasures and {{Card|Gold}} is a liability (e.g. due to {{Landmark|Bandit Fort}}), it may occasionally be usable as a substitute. Its best use cases, however, are in a few scenarios where gaining {{Card|Copper}} is actively desirable. For example, if {{Card|Forager}} is your only source of [[+Buy]] and you have run out of junk for it to trash, Cache provides extra fodder. This is most likely to be useful in Kingdoms with strong [[draw]] but limited sources of extra [[gainer|gains]]. The {{Card|Copper}}-gaining can also be a benefit if you have {{Project|Guildhall}} or if it helps you score with {{Card|Gardens}}, {{Landmark|Fountain}}, or {{Landmark|Keep}}.

Strategy

Before it was removed, Cache was a very weak Kingdom Treasure; it can be thought of as a slightly cheaper Gold that comes with two junk cards. While adding $5 in total payload may sound appealing, doing so at the cost of adding three stop cards is relatively weak as a way to improve your money density in money strategies and actively harmful to the vast majority of engines. The weakness of this effect and the card’s high opportunity cost make it skippable in the majority of games.

Even if you have good deck control, plenty of overdraw, and the ability to trash the Coppers easily (e.g. with Watchtower), Cache is a mediocre option for payload at a high price and likely more risky than just a Gold. If there is no viable payload other than Treasures and Gold is a liability (e.g. due to Bandit Fort), it may occasionally be usable as a substitute. Its best use cases, however, are in a few scenarios where gaining Copper is actively desirable. For example, if Forager is your only source of +Buy and you have run out of junk for it to trash, Cache provides extra fodder. This is most likely to be useful in Kingdoms with strong draw but limited sources of extra gains. The Copper-gaining can also be a benefit if you have Guildhall or if it helps you score with Gardens, Fountain, or Keep.

Move the +1 Buy from Margrave to here (also fixes Margrave). Yes or be happy with Banquet.

Second Edition removal

I like Cache, except for it being bad. If only I could move the +Buy from Margrave onto Cache (and from Wharf onto Merchant Ship). But I can't. And I mean. It's bad.
