When you shuffle, you may put this anywhere in your deck. |
Stash is a promotional Treasure card. When played, it is no different than a Silver. However, it has a different back than other cards - when you shuffle, you can put your Stashes anywhere in your deck, and you can always see where Stashes are in your deck and your opponents' decks or hands.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- Stash is a Treasure that produces when played, like Silver.
- Whenever you shuffle your deck, you can choose where in your deck each copy of Stash that you have goes.
- You can't look at the fronts of the other cards in your deck to see where to put it; Stash itself has a different card back, so that's how you'll know where it is.
- If you have multiple copies of Stash, you can clump them together or spread them out or whatever you want.
- Since Stash has a different card back, you will also know if it's in a player's hand, or set aside for someone's Haven, and so on.
Other Rules clarifications
Only Stashes that are actually in your deck when you shuffle it are subject to Stash's ability. If you have any Stashes in your hand or play area when you shuffle your deck, they stay where you are. Similarly, if you shuffle your deck as a result of the on-gain effect of Inn, you may put the Stashes that are already in your deck anywhere in your deck, but the Stashes in your discard pile must stay in your discard pile.
Strategy Article
There is no strategy article for Stash.
The typical use for Stash is to get four Stashes and put them together on top of your deck when you trigger a reshuffle; this guarantees a Province on the next turn. This is typically done with Scavenger or Chancellor to trigger frequent reshuffles, and is discussed at Combo: Chancellor and Stash.
Alternatively, Stash can be used when you want to know the top of your deck - put it in the right place to be drawn by Wishing Well or Mystic, or maybe leave it to be hit by your opponent's Saboteur to protect your more valuable cards. These tricks are typically more trouble than they are worth, but on a weak board where you're willing to spend for a Silver, you should keep them in mind.
Synergies/Combos
- Combo: Chancellor and Stash
- Works even better with Scavenger
- Any other source of rapid cycling (e.g., large +Cards cards like Envoy and Embassy) to make you reshuffle more frequently
- Technically works with Wishing Well and Mystic, or as a defense to Saboteur, but in practice this is rarely effective
Antisynergies
- Royal Seal and Venture are Silver-equivalent -cost Treasures which are usually better.
- Opponents' discard attacks nullify the typical use of Stash to buy a Province, as 3 of them is not enough to buy a Province.
Trivia

Secret History
Stash had two issues. First, I didn't have the different-back mechanic yet. So like you set them aside, or dug through your discard pile for them. It was not going to be pretty rules-wise, since by default you can't look through your discard pile. And second, it was not that interesting. There are some cute interactions, but on the whole, it didn't seem necessarily worth a slot in the set. So it left.
