FAQ
Official FAQ
- Playing this gives +2 Cards; gaining it gives +2 Villagers.
Strategy
The Villagers that Lackeys provides are very powerful. Like Silk Merchant, it is a strong opening card. Drawing Lackeys on turn 3 or turn 4 guarantees that your other opening buy doesn't miss the reshuffle, and the Villagers guarantees that you can play it. The power of Lackeys is mostly on the Villagers, not the +2 Cards. Trashers to remove excess Lackeys (optimally Trash for benefit), or ways to make Lackeys non-terminal (like Lost Arts or certain Ways), can make it better to buy Lackeys more aggressively.

Trivia
Secret History
Originally it was +2 Cards, turn over your thing that gets you +1 Action half the time. It went straight from that to the final version.
Why does it cost 2?
Lackeys is clearly not strictly better/worse than [Experiment] though, so that's not an issue. It felt like a , given Moat and Faithful Hound; it worked fine at , people did not quit in disgust at / Lackeys openings or some such. It seemed fine to buy them up with +Buys.
In 2022, after players compared Sea Chart with Lackeys, Donald X. said this:
In context I was just fighting a classic poor line of reasoning. Sea Chart was being complained about, and compared to Lackeys. But, as a wise man once said, "No amount of having blown it on Lackeys makes it good to blow it on Sea Chart, that's how I see it." Comparing something to an overpowered card doesn't tell you how balanced it is. I mean unless it's even more powerful. It's great to be weaker than Lackeys; that's the goal in fact.
