• Type: Action-Reaction
• Cost: 2
• Effect: Gain 3 Coppers, putting them into your hand.
• Reaction: When another player plays an Attack, you may discard this from hand to gain 2 Silvers, putting one on top of your deck.

Tier B-. Niche but powerful in the right boards. Mass-Copper instant + attack reaction.

3 Coppers spike +$3 and synergize with Coppersmith / Merchant Guild / Merchant — but pollute deck without trashing.

Reaction is one of the best curse-rush counters: attack triggers gain 2 Silvers, one topdecked.

$2 turn — Beggar fits when Coppersmith / Merchant Guild / Merchant exists, or when curse-rush attacks loom.

Action-play: Beggar gives 3 Coppers in hand. Combos like Coppersmith multiply the burst.

Reaction-play: when opponent fires Witch / Mountebank, discard Beggar for 2 Silvers (one topdecked).

Pick when:

1. Coppersmith / Merchant Guild / Merchant available.
2. Curse-rush attack on board.
3. Trasher available for cleanup.

Skip when:

1. Engines that ignore Coppers.
2. No trashing.
3. No attacks (Reaction wasted).

Beggar + Coppersmith: bursts $6+ from Coppers.

Beggar + Merchant Guild: coffer tokens per Copper.

Beggar + Merchant: Silver bonus.

Beggar + Chapel / Altar: Copper cleanup later.

Beggar + KC / TR: 6 Coppers from one play.

Beggar + Counting House: Coppers in discard.

Beggar + Mint: clear Coppers for Gold.

• Coppersmith: Copper-multiplier.
• Merchant Guild: tokens.
• Merchant: Silver.
• Chapel / Altar: cleanup.
• KC / TR: doubled.
• Counting House: bank.
• Witch counter: react.

• Engines without Copper synergy.
• No-trash boards.
• No-attack boards (Reaction wasted).
• Post-engine completion.

Reaction triggers per attack — chain reactions across multiple Beggars.

KC + Beggar: 6 Coppers in hand. Coppersmith can spike $9+.

Topdecked Silver from reaction = guaranteed +$2 next turn.

Pair with Chapel for Copper cleanup post-spike.

Mirror with Witch: Beggars trade banks for Silvers.

Be wary of overbuying — uncleaned Coppers clog deck.
