Centuries later, archaeologists discover the remains of your ancient civilization.

Evidence of thriving towns, Pottery, roads, and a centralized government amaze the startled scientists.

Finally, they come upon a stone tablet, which contains but one mysterious phrase!

'ISOTROPIC WILL RETURN!'

While I appreciate the fun answers, it's not much of a challenge to write them. Please try to actually include some helpful strategic advice.

Stef's did not count the card name, so I won't either.

Familiar: Often overestimated; Potion hurts tempo.  Watch out for faster strategies.

Possession: High opportunity cost -- often ignorable.  Don't overbuild.  Beware Ambassador, Masquerade.

Torturer: Chains hurt.  Feels worse than it is.  Don't always discard.

Contraband: Good when you have options.  Play it before other treasures.

It doesn't count anyway.

Torturer: Chains hurt.  Feels worse than it is.  Don't always discard.

These are very nice!

I know it's hard not to generalize, but still I think those two are a bit imprecize :

Quote
Cache: Never gain this unless Coppers help your deck a lot. (Co0kieL0rd)
Cache is also a cheap way to increase the money in your deck for those draw-your-deck engines. I once bought two caches for $10 just because I needed more money in my deck (at least $6), which wasn't possible with two golds. The coppers I gained with cards were simply junk, and I trashed them quickly.

Rats: Have a plan to trash these, or do not buy. (werothegreat)
Edge case vineyard is really worth mentionning here.

That's 8 words. Could I add "especially uncontested" at the end of the phrase?

How about "Gain this when Copper is easily trashed or actually useful"?

Apprentice: great with gainers or other expensive trashers, but not copper.     
Logged
Point iguana. Not that points really matter with a result, but still.
Igu is town or trying the hardest he ever has as scum.

Only buy to trash for benefit, except sometimes with Vineyard?

Exactly 10?  But then I'm just wasting two words!

If you like.  "Tolerate Copper" and "Appreciate Duchess" are also possibilities, but probably less commonly relevant than yours.

Poor House: With +actions and strong trashing you reliably get $8 hands.

Wandering Minstrel: Cycles your deck early game, arranges your engine parts later.

Stables: Many Stables draw your deck using all that yellow junk.

Chancellor: Best if you do not want other terminals. Otherwise weak.

Rebuild: At least you will have time for another game afterwards.
