-How does this compare to other Peddler variants?
-How reliable is it?
-How does this change up the First Game kingdom by replacing Woodcutter?

it's like OK I guess. It's a reasonably cheap cantrip that gets useful later on when you've gotten an engine going.

I don't think it changes the First Game kingdom that much, but maybe after the first 3 Markets or so, you can switch to this in the engine? It's fairly easy to gain.

At the very least you'd want to gain Merchants in the First Game kingdom with Workshop once you have your Militia/Remodel/bunchofSmithies/EntireVillageStack wouldn't you?

And if you gain a couple Merchants that way, that probably changes something else doesn't it?  Like maybe you don't need to buy a gold regardless of Mine or something.

Plus how often do buys matter beyond the first couple in that engine?  Maybe Merchant + Village should be a common-ish buy on $6 or something (I have no idea just speculating.)

But I guess that's the thing, none of that really changes the First Game Engine all that much.  But it seems more fun than Woodcutter.

Combos pretty well with Silver.

It at least gives you a cheap thing to pick up after the Villages run out, without getting too many Cellars.

Merchant goes well with lots of silver => need more silver than copper => only need one silver.

This joins sauna (and catapult?) in the "new cards which make silver do exciting things" club.
