Card text | |
Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal 2 Treasure cards. Put those Treasure cards in your hand and discard the other revealed cards. |
Adventurer is an Action card from the Base set. Since it draws cards but does not give +Action; it is digging terminal card draw. Since it costs as much as Gold, it is often difficult to find a good use for it, since in the absence of trashers, Adventurer is liable to just draw Coppers.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- If you have to shuffle in the middle, shuffle. Don't shuffle in the revealed cards as these cards do not go to the Discard pile until you have finished revealing cards.
- If you run out of cards after shuffling and still only have one Treasure, you get just that one Treasure.

Strategy Article
There isn't a strategy article for Adventurer. It has been mentioned in this article by HiveMindEmulator, edited by theory.
If I asked you to enumerate the terminal draw cards, you’d probably forget Adventurer. I know I did at first. Technically, it’s terminal and it draws 2 cards, and like Library it guarantees no dead actions, and even no victory cards! Sounds great, but the problem is that it costs and will rarely be better than Gold in a BM deck with 7 Coppers in it. In pure BM (and engines too, for that matter), it’s basically always better to spend your terminals and purchases on something else.
