Storeroom

Basic Info

• Type: Action
• Cost: 3
• Effect: +1 Buy / Discard any number of cards, draw that many. Then discard any number for +$1 each.

Rating

Tier B+. A two-stage sift-and-convert engine card. Stage 1 swaps junk for fresh draw; stage 2 cashes remaining junk into coin.

Pairs with +1 Buy for endgame multi-buy turns.

How to Play

$3 turn — Storeroom candidate when Estates / Curses / surplus Coppers clutter deck.

Stage 1: discard junk, draw replacements. Stage 2: discard leftovers for $.

Mid-game, Storeroom converts Estates to coin → reliable Province turns.

+1 Buy: Province + Duchy, or Province + closing pile.

When to Pick / Skip

Pick when:

1. Estates / Curses / surplus Coppers exist.
2. Want +1 Buy.
3. No stronger trasher.

Skip when:

1. Post-engine (sift redundant).
2. Strong trasher exists (Chapel, Altar).
3. Terminal-collision board.

Advanced Tips

Stage 1 and stage 2 are separate — discard and draw before deciding stage-2 conversions.

KC + Storeroom: 2 Buys + double sift + double conversion.

Estate + Storeroom = +$1 swap. Garden strategy still viable.

Pair with Scrying Pool to topdeck-control before sifting.

Mirror: skill in sift selection determines tempo lead.

3-pile to-go: Storeroom + Buy spam.
