Hi all,
There are 3 particular strategies that I wanted to share with you guys, when playing with Altar. First of all it is extremely important to have cards that give +2 actions, in your deck. When using Altar you might want to analyze the board to see whether or not you are playing with Bridge or Highway. If you are playing with those cards you should probably go for a pretty popular strategy, which is reducing the cost of Province/Colonies, by playing enough Highways or Bridges, and gaining them by trashing your Coppers and your Estates. If you are not playing with Highway or Bridge then you might want to try to build an engine, by buying an Altar and trashing your Coppers and Estates, to gain key $5 cards such as, Market, Hunting Party, Wharf, Festival, etc. When using an engine, Altar is ONLY useful when trying to build it. The last strategy I wanted to share with you guys is implementing Altar into a Duchy/Duke rush. I'm guessing people have figured these strategies out before me, but I just wanted to share them with you guys!
Please let me know your thoughts on this!
