Strategy Article
See here for an article about Journeyman.
When paired with other cards that give + Actions, Journeyman becomes even more spectacular than it already is. The fact that you don't get the named cards basically means that in Slog games when a high portion of your deck is junk, or when you have a lot of curses or other junk in your deck, Journeyman's ability to skip that junk can be key to gaining a lot of cards that you want quicker than most card drawers, making Journeyman one of the better card drawers in the game.
Synergies
- Boards with a lot of + Actions
- Slog games
- High amounts of junk in your deck
Anti-Synergies
- No real sources of + Action
- Having a deck clogged by Ruins - Journeyman will skip only the named ruin and stumble upon the rest

Secret History
I took this from Dark Ages, when I thought I might push a mild "name a card" subtheme here. I didn't end up pushing it enough to make it really visible. Journeyman and Doctor have you name a card, and then Taxman kind of does, and Advisor has you pick a card. Some playtesters called this card Bigot Parade, because you know, they don't like some particular card. "No Estates!" they chant, marching through the streets.
