Another thing that slightly bothers me about Adventurer is that it's not even that fun. Many other situational or weak cards at least have pretty interesting and novel effects that few or no other cards can do, such as Coppersmith, Treasure Map, Scout, Contraband, Counting House etc. Adventurer is just weak terminal draw, a weaker and more expensive version of many other cards. Even when you do get Adventurer to work, it's rarely worth the reward, because the card's just not that interesting.

I think the physical mechanic is entertaining IRL, particularly in a Swindler game (which, let's face it, is the type of game where you're most likely to have Adventurer) where your deck is full of junk.

Maybe Adventurer gets better in games with Crown!

Without Copper trashing, I'd still rather have a Lab, since I can stack more Labs on top of it.
