While you have this in play, when you gain a card, you may put that card onto your deck.

Royal Seal is a Treasure from Prosperity. It is worth like Silver but lets you immediately top-deck cards you buy when you have it in play.

FAQ

Official FAQ

• If you gain multiple cards with this in play, this applies to each of them - you could put any or all of them on top of your deck.
• This applies both to cards gained due to being bought, and to cards gained other ways with Royal Seal in play, such as with Hoard.

Other Rules clarifications

• If Royal Seal is no longer in play when you gain a card, such as because it was trashed with Mint or top-decked with Mandarin, you cannot use its ability.

Strategy Article

There is no strategy article for Royal Seal.

There isn't going to be a Royal Seal strategy, but Royal Seal is situationally useful. It's great for Big Money decks which might draw instead of or . It's less useful for engines which probably have better things to buy with than a Silver-equivalent.

Synergies/Combos

• Strong Big Money enablers which cost - like Masquerade, Smithy, Jack of all Trades
• Storyteller

Antisynergies

• Watchtower does the same thing but is better for engines

Secret History

Originally it was "when you spend this," which is more confusing. When I got rid of those, this one got its "while this is in play" functionality. For a while it triggered on buying, but in the end it triggered on gaining, to line it up with Watchtower.
