• Type: Action
• Cost: 5
• Effect: Look at top 3 cards. Either put them into hand, or discard them and draw 3. On trash, gain a cheaper card.

Terminal +3 Cards with mode-choice. Smithy-plus, with TfB rider on trash. A-tier.

Opening: $5 Catacombs. Smithy-equivalent draw with flexibility.

Midgame: Engine staple. +3 draw consistent.

Endgame: Procession / Remodel for trash bonus → cheaper card gain. Province bridging.

• Procession: Catacombs(5) → trash → cheaper gain + 6-cost gain.
• Remodel: Catacombs → Gold.
• Apprentice: Trash for +5 draw.
• Fortress loop fuel.

• Procession / Remodel / Apprentice: Trash-bonus.
• Throne: 2 plays = 6 cards seen.
• Smithy / Market / Hunting Grounds: Draw engine.
• Chapel: Thinned deck = perfect Catacombs.
• Gardens: Cheaper gains add VP.

• Terminal-heavy: Catacombs terminal too.
• Inconsistent decks: 3-look may show all bad.
• Low $5 access: No buys.
• Ruins-flooded: Scan reveals Ruins.

Take vs Discard choice depends on hand. Engine pieces in top 3 = take. Treasure-heavy = discard and re-draw.

On-trash gain capped at cheaper-than-Catacombs (so $4-, can't reach Province but can reach Gold-tier 5s — wait, must be cheaper, so $4-). Re-checking: yes, $4 max. Still useful for engine pieces.

Procession Catacombs = 2 gains + extra draw + 6-cost gain. Engine endgame.
