Strategy
There is no strategy article for Guide, but it has been discussed on the forum!
Guide is a pretty decent card; as a cantrip that sits on your Tavern Mat until you need it, it will never get in the way, and it helps 'make your own shuffle luck' by enabling you to just throw away terrible hands for better ones. It's not a power card, but it's best compared to something like Scheme; sort of like the 'stage crew' for your rockstar cards.
Guide is also a good counter to discard attacks like Militia, and it works very well with Outpost, completely eliminating the downside of not being able to draw a full hand of 5 cards.
Synergies
- Opponents' handsize attacks especially Torturer and Ghost Ship
- Opponents' Rabble, Spy or Sea Hag
- Outpost
- Prince of Secret Chambers: discard your hand for , draw 5 new cards
- Tunnel: discard a Tunnel-heavy hand to not only get a hopefully better hand but also gain a ton of Golds
- Start of turn effects that decrease your handsize, like Ratcatcher, Cathedral or Lost in the Woods
Antisynergies
- Draws that are very reliable already: King's Court + Scheme, Alchemist + Herbalist
- Expedition
