− | Similar to Caravan, Archive only increases your handsize on its duration plays. When you take into account the ability to decide what you draw when, Archive plays as a strong [[cantrip]] the turn you play it, a strong {{Card|Laboratory}} the second turn, and a weaker Laboratory on the third. As a [[non-terminal]] action, Archive’s draw requires no [[village (card category)|village]] support; thus multiple Archives stack very easily (also similar to Caravan) giving you greater control and flexibility of what exactly your larger starting hand looks like. However, Archive gets tricky in decks which want to draw themselves, since you’ll be required to leave some of your cards set aside. This can hurt especially in conjunction with heavy trashing and powerful payload cards—it’s sad to see Archive turn over three great cards that you’d love to play all of, but be forced to set two aside for later (e.g. {{Card| | + | Similar to Caravan, Archive only increases your handsize on its duration plays.

Thus, in slim and powerful deck-drawing engines, Archive is often passed over in favor of more typical draw cards. |
