Nomads is an Action card from Hinterlands (Second Edition). It replaces the removed card Nomad Camp, and has the same effect as it when played—i.e., it's a terminal silver that provides +Buy—but also gives a bonus when gained or trashed.

Preview

Nomad Camp is basically a Woodcutter with a penalty; you don't tend to want it to be gained onto your deck. Woodcutter is already not a very good Woodcutter.

Nomads, now there's a sweet Woodcutter. So often there is some cute trick it can do.
