I think you’d rather have a village AND Militia than this. +1 Card looks weird on terminals, even if they are optional terminals.
I think I'd definitely rather have in my hand both a village and a militia than this but that would take two buys and a bit of luck in my draw.
Now a curious question is would I rather have a village and a militia than two of these (and I don't want to hijack this thread with my suggest).
And the real question is would I rather have one of these than a random one of a militia and a village.
I think this optional attack does allow people to overinvest in this card knowing they won't suck if they draw multiples.
