Title: "next hand" defined?
Post by: Alsterschwan on June 14, 2017, 06:21:42 pm
Is the phrase next hand defined being the cards drawn at end of turn for next turn only? Or is any set of cards drawn to an empty hand a "next hand"? E.g. is the hand resulting from Minion discard a "next hand"?

Is there any card that cares about it?

Expedition (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Expedition) cares. And it is defined as "the cards you draw during your cleanup phase of this turn."

So for a practical example, if you buy Expedition (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Expedition) and then Villa (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Villa), and then play Minion (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Minion) (for the discard option) after you return to your action phase, then no, you do NOT draw 2 extra cards when you draw 4 cards from Minion. You will draw 2 extra cards (7 total normally) when you cleanup at the end of this turn.

Thanks for the quick answer. The example is exactly what get discussed here. Luckily the majority has agreed on just that ruling.
