- If there are not enough Silvers left, gain as many as you can.
Strategy
Feodum is a weak alt-VP card that scales with the amount of Silver in your deck. This can infrequently allow for a monolithic combo-based strategy or provide supplemental . More commonly, Feodum’s on-trash effect of gaining Silvers is useful for adding payload to your deck, possibly in combination with trash for benefit effects.
If you can trash Feodum soon after gaining it, it can be viewed similarly to an efficient one-time Silver gainer, giving you three Silvers with one gain. The most common example of this use case is with Donate: by opening with Feodum on turn 1 and Donate on turn 2, you can begin turn 3 with a deck of three Silvers. Other examples include Watchtower, which allows you to immediately trash the Feodum, or simply having lots of overdraw, a Workshop variant, and a need to quickly increase your economic output. Similarly, with Salt the Earth, it’s possible to effectively buy three Silvers and 1 for only , which is a strong tool for a money strategy.
The main problem with using Feodum as your primary method of scoring is that it does not score many quickly, and it’s too difficult to gain Silvers quickly enough to be competitive with more normal strategies. When the cost of acquiring Silvers in bulk is very cheap, scoring via Feodum may be viable or even centralizing, as in the cases of Masterpiece and Delve. In these cases, you’ll want the game to go long enough that you can acquire many Silvers and Feodums and, if contested, to win the split on both. Because your deck is predominantly Silvers, it’s probably not worthwhile to add other cards (such as terminal draw), as you simply won’t draw them very often. On the other hand, being Silver-flooded does mean that you can likely afford Provinces—even though they may score less than your Feodums, doing so can help you end the game. With slower Silver gainers such as Trader, the rate at which you can gain Silvers and Feodums is unlikely to be competitive except in very weak Kingdoms.
Feodum can also provide supplemental , perhaps instead of a Duchy. With 9 Silvers in your deck, it provides the same for 
less. With 12 Silvers it provides more . This may happen if you are, for example, playing a money strategy using a Silver gainer such as Jack of All Trades.

Feodum is the victory card that counts treasures that you always knew I’d make. What you didn’t know is that it would only count Silvers. If Coppers count, man, that’s like a Gardens deck, we built that one already. I mean it’s different but whatever. If Golds count, man, I already wanted a deck with a lot of Gold. So it only counts Silvers. And to help that out, it’s a Silver piñata. You might even buy one just to crack it open, with no plan of really going for Feodums.
Feodum does something when you trash it. There are a bunch of cards like that in this set. There’s really only so much you can do with the trash directly, like Graverobber, but you can do tons of things based on cards getting trashed. And if you are the kind of person who likes card combos, these cards are for you. For example you can just Remodel a Feodum into a Feodum, for the 3 Silvers. Look at that.
