Title: Let's Discuss Adventures Events: Borrow
Post by: werothegreat on February 21, 2016, 08:27:09 pm

A coin now for a card later.  Fair Trade? 

-Is it a good idea to open with this to snag an early expensive card?
-Should you Borrow often, or sparingly?
-You can use Borrow offensively when Possessing someone.  Again, not a question, just saying.

where 5/2 is good you probably should open borrow. THe main problem with not drawing that card is lack of cycling. Free money with draw to x. :)

Sorry about the wording. At the time it seemed nice to separate out +1 Buy.

I usually Borrow turn 1 or 2. I never feel bad about that, but sometimes feel like I Borrowed too much later. Obv. you do it late-game any time it does you any good.

In games with Militias, it's tempting to constantly Borrow. Take that, Minion. But it's a combo with Minion too, so it evens out.

Speaking of Attacks, Relic prevents you from Borrowing.
