One of the strengths of a curser like {{Card|Witch}} is that it slows down the opponent; they can't buy gold as fast because they're drawing curses instead of treasure. Later in the game, the curses are diluted, but by that point your economy is so strong that they can't catch up. The issue with {{Card|Coven}} is that the curses get added in much later; you spend the game playing a subpar {{Card|Silver}}, while the opponent is free to buy things. Drawing loads of curses doesn't matter as much when you only need two {{Card|Gold}} to buy another; at teh start of the game, having one {{Card|Copper}} be a curse isntead is often the difference between affording a {{Card|Gold}} or not. Thus {{Card|Coven}} is much much weaker than similar cursers. | |||

Strategy
One of the strengths of a curser like Witch is that it slows down the opponent; they can't buy gold as fast because they're drawing curses instead of treasure. Later in the game, the curses are diluted, but by that point your economy is so strong that they can't catch up. The issue with Coven is that the curses get added in much later; you spend the game playing a subpar Silver, while the opponent is free to buy things. Drawing loads of curses doesn't matter as much when you only need two Gold to buy another; at teh start of the game, having one Copper be a curse isntead is often the difference between affording a Gold or not. Thus Coven is much much weaker than similar cursers.
Synergies/Combos
- Way of the Chameleon can optionally turn Coven's non-terminal silver effect into a Laboratory, making Coven a useful gain even after the Curse pile is emptied.
