Haggler is an Action card from Hinterlands. Haggler allows you to, whenever you buy a card, gain a cheaper card. This ability is very useful in engines where you want cards at multiple price points; and in Big Money, letting you gain Golds and Silvers when you buy a Province or Duchy. In this setting it functions like a weaker, cheaper Hoard, but Haggler scales much better into the Colony / Platinum game.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- While this is in play, whenever you buy a card, you gain a card that is cheaper than the card you bought, but not a Victory card.
- For example, you could buy a Province, and gain a Gold via Haggler.
- Gaining a card is not optional.
- The gained card comes from the Supply and is put into your discard pile.
- Haggler only gives you an extra card when you buy a card, not when you gain a card some other way (such as with Haggler itself).
- If there is no cheaper card available in the Supply (for example, if you buy Copper), you do not gain a card.
- Using Throne Room on Haggler will not gain you two cards per card bought, as there is still only one copy of Haggler in play.
- The bonus is cumulative though; if you have three Hagglers in play, you will gain three more cards for each card you buy.
