{{Quote|Text=Late in the going, an Event wasn't seeming too hot, we never bought it. I needed a replacement and tried this. First it just gained you a card costing up to {{Cost|4}}, no limits, because what, why not try that. As you can see instead it is a more sane thing that just means, you're never doing worse than a {{Cost|4}}.

=== Donald X.'s opinion ===

Alms was a late one. It worked out, phew. It's more like a rules change than most of the Events that are like rules changes. We tried it without "once per turn" but it was cwazy.
 
 
As LF notes it's hard to remember it later in the game, unless you've been using it a lot for some reason. As everyone notes it's nice with trashers. It can also be a boost in heavy attack games. This is all obvious but that's what I have to say about Alms.
