Cursed Gold is a Treasure-Heirloom card from Nocturne, replacing one of your starting Coppers when Pooka is in the Kingdom. It can give you a lot of money early, but at the expense of having to gain a Curse; you have to decide whether the $3 is worth the penalty.

Preview

It's a Treasure worth $3 but you get Cursed each time you use it. Do you buy that great card turn one and get a Curse with it? I can't make that decision for you.

Secret History

Cursed Gold was an early star of the Heirlooms. It never changed. It can cost $4 because you are happy to lose it to Knights.
