Strategy
There is no strategy article for Borrow, but it has been discussed on the forum.
Borrow is rather straightforward: you get an extra coin to spend this turn, but you'll draw one card less next turn. On average, a card is worth more than a coin, so it's definitely not a deal you should make every turn. However, if you absolutely need a certain key card early on, Borrow can be very useful. For example, it can mitigate the negative effects of opening / on a board with Mountebank or cost Trashers such as Junk Dealer and Count. It can also help you to hit for Familiar on the second shuffle. Late-game, especially in Big Money games, hitting is not as big of a disadvantage anymore, since you can just Borrow to hit Province.
