|
| A '''remodeler''' is a [[trash-for-benefit]] card that allows you to trash one or more cards and gain cards to replace them depending on the cost of the trashed card. The nickname is derived from {{card|Remodel}}, a simple card with this effect from the [[base set]], which allows you to gain a card costing up to {{cost|2}} more than the trashed card. Other remodelers differ from the basic Remodel by allowing a wider or narrower range of costs for the gained card, providing other benefits in addition to the gain, or limiting you to trashing or gaining cards of specific [[type|types]].
| |
|
| |
| Typically, remodelers maintain the size of your deck, providing neither net gains nor [[thinning]]; however, a few can gain more cards than they trash ({{Card|Develop}}) or vice versa ({{Card|Forge}}). Some can act as [[trasher]]s because they have very strict limits on what can be gained; in [[Kingdom]]s in which no card meeting the criteria is available, they will trash a card without replacing it. For example {{Card|Upgrade}} will normally not gain a card upon trashing {{Card|Copper}} unless {{Card|Poor House}} is in the Kingdom.
| |
|
| |
| Many remodelers have names that are verbs.

| ==List of Remodelers==
| |
| Cards in ''italics'' have been [[removed]].
| |
|
| |
| ===Flexible cost limit===
| |
| These cards typically gain a card costing ''up to'' {{Cost|X}} more than the trashed one, which means they can usually gain a copy of the same card, or even a cheaper card. This allows many of them to be used for [[milling]] {{Card|Province|Provinces}}.
| |
|
| |
| * up to {{Cost|2}} more: {{Card|Remodel}}, {{card|Replace}}, {{card|Carpenter}}, {{card|Modify}}, {{card|Enlarge}}, {{event|Kintsugi}}, {{card|Tanuki}}
| |
| * up to {{Cost|1}} more: {{Card|Transmogrify}}, {{card|Zombie Mason}} (trashes the top card of your deck)
| |
| * up to {{Cost|3}} more: {{Card|Expand}}
| |
| * other: {{Card|Butcher}}, {{card|Change}}
| |
|
| |
| Some cards have restrictions on what they can trash and / or gain.
| |
| * {{Card|Mine}} and ''{{Card|Taxman}}'' each trash one [[Treasure]] to get another Treasure costing up to {{Cost|3}} more.
| |
| * {{Card|Graverobber}} can only trash [[Action]] cards but gains any card costing up to {{Cost|3}} more.
| |
| * {{Card|Rebuild}} finds a [[Victory]] card in your deck to trash and gains another Victory card costing up to {{Cost|3}} more.
| |
| * {{Event|Enhance}} cannot trash Victory cards but can gain any card costing up to {{Cost|2}} more.
| |
|
| |
| Some cards gain cards cheaper than the trashed one.
| |
| * {{Card|Stonemason}} - trashes a card to gain two cheaper cards.
| |
| * {{card|Exorcist}} - trashes a card to gain a cheaper {{Card|Spirit|file=Spirits}}.
| |
| * {{Card|Dismantle}} - trashes a card and gains both a cheaper card and a {{Card|Gold}} if the card costs at least {{Cost|1}}.
| |
|
| |
| Closely related:
| |
| * {{Card|Salvager}} does not gain a replacement for the trashed card, but instead gives you {{cost}} and [[+Buy]] to allow you to buy one. This enables lines of play like a remodeler; for example it can [[milling|mill]] {{Card|Province|Provinces}}.
| |
| * {{Card|Displace}} is similar to {{Card|Remodel}} but [[Exile]]s instead of trashing. Cannot be used for milling {{Card|Province|Provinces}} because it cannot gain the same card that was Exiled.
| |
|
| |
| ===Fixed cost limit===
| |
| The cards gain a card costing ''exactly'' {{Cost|X}} more than the trashed one. These means they mostly cannot be used for milling {{Card|Province|Provinces}} but can sometimes be used for [[thinning]]; for example using {{Card|Upgrade}} you can trash a {{Card|Copper}} without having to gain another card if there is no card available costing exactly {{Cost|1}}.
| |
|
| |
| * {{Card|Upgrade}} and {{Card|Remake}} - trash cards gaining others costing exactly {{Cost|1}} more.
| |
| * {{Card|Forge}} - trash any number of cards and gain one with a cost equal to the sum of the costs (can be used both for milling by replacing {{Card|Province}} with {{Card|Province}} and for thinning by replacing multiple cards with a single one).
| |
| * {{Card|Develop}} trashes a card and gains two cards (costing exactly {{Cost|1}} more and {{Cost|1}} less).
| |
| * {{Card|Farmland}} has an on-gain remodeling effect gaining a card costing exactly {{Cost|2}} more than the trashed one.
| |
| * {{Card|Procession}} plays an Action twice and upcycles it into one costing exactly {{Cost|1}} more.
| |
| * {{Card|Improve}} trashes an Action in play and upcycles it into a card costing exactly {{Cost|1}} more.
| |
| * {{Card|Governor}} can let each player trash a card and gain another one costing exactly {{Cost|1}} more for other players and {{Cost|2}} more for the user.
| |
|
| |
| * Closely related but do not trash cards:
| |
| ** {{Way|Way of the Butterfly}} lets you play an [[Action]] card to return it to the [[Supply]] and gain any card costing exactly {{Cost|1}} more.
| |
|
| |
| ===Remodelers that can be used as gainers===
| |
| Some remodelers can work as gainers because they gain more cards than they trash.
| |
| * {{Card|Stonemason}}, {{Card|Dismantle}}, {{Card|Develop}}
| |
| * {{Card|Graverobber}} and {{Card|Displace}} let you keep access to the card you remodel.
| |
|
| |
| Most Remodelers can act as gainers if the trashed card has an ability that returns it to you from the trash (for example {{Card|Fortress}}) or otherwise replaces itself (for example {{Card|Catacombs}}).
| |
|
| |
| ===Related effects===
| |
| These cards are related to Remodelers in that they trash a card and gain one card but are distinct from Remodelers in that the cost of the gained card does not depend on the Cost of the trashed card.
| |
| * {{Card|Transmute}} - the gained card depends on the [[type]] of the trashed card.
| |
| * {{Card|Trader}} - trashes a card and gains {{Card|Silver|Silvers}}, and the number gained depends on the Cost of the trashed card.
| |

| |
| * {{Card|Hermit}} - trashes a non-Treasure card and gains any card costing up to {{Cost|3}}.

| |
|
| |
| * [[One-shot]] gainers ({{Card|Feast}}, {{Card|Changeling}}, {{Card|Wish}}, {{card|Spell Scroll}}) also resemble Remodelers in that they trash one card (themselves) and gain another card.
