Poacher is an Action card from the second edition of the base set. It is a Peddler variant, but it gets weaker late in the game by making you discard from your hand if any Supply piles have been emptied.
FAQ
Official FAQ
- You draw your one card before discarding.
- If there are no empty piles, you do not discard. If there is one empty pile, you discard one card; if there are two empty piles, you discard two cards, and so on. This includes all Supply piles, including Curses, Coppers, Poacher itself, etc.
- If you do not have enough cards to discard, just discard the rest of your hand.
Other rules clarifications
- Non-Supply piles, such as Spoils, do not matter to Poacher.
Strategy
Poacher is a useful card to increase your Market, and its drawback usually doesn’t manifest until much later in the game. As a Peddler variant, Poacher should be viewed as a way to add payload to your deck without increasing how much draw you need. However, unlike most cantrips, you shouldn’t get too many of them, or else you’ll have to start discarding a lot of cards as soon as one pile is emptied. If this is likely to happen early in the game (e.g., because Witch will be handing out the Curses quickly), Poacher may look less attractive than usual from the beginning.
output early in the game. Its price of makes it more affordable than similar cards likeOpening with Poacher is generally good if buying a card such as Sentry is a priority. The most straightforward comparison for Poacher is to Silver. With a Poacher/Silver opening, you are about as likely to generate on turn 3 or turn 4 as with a Silver/Silver, at around 91%. The advantage of Poacher is that it’s not another stop card in your deck like a second Silver would be, and so getting deck control should be slightly easier. You generally shouldn’t take Poacher over a trasher (such as Moneylender), but it can be especially useful if you open with it alongside a cheaper trasher such as Chapel.
