Strategy
There is no strategy article for Peasant, but it has been discussed on the forum.
Peasant, on its own, is a weak card; on play, it is strictly inferior to Herbalist, a weak card to begin with. The main reason to buy it is because of the cards it can upgrade into. Teacher, the top card in the Peasant traveller line, is a very strong (albeit slow) card that kickstarts any engine by giving out the vanilla bonus tokens (+Card, +Action, +, +Buy), and Disciple is a strong Throne Room variant that gains a copy of the card it doubles. Soldier can field a lot of in Kingdoms with multiple Attacks. Wanting any of these cards for your engine is the main reason to buy Peasant.
In a pinch, Peasant can provide +Buy for an engine, not unlike Herbalist or even Ruined Market. However, you might be better off holding out for Teacher's +Buy token.
