Wild Hunt

Basic Info

• Type: Action-Gathering
• Cost: 5
• Effect: Choose one: (A) +3 Cards, place 1 VP token on Wild Hunt pile. (B) Gain an Estate; if you do, take all VP tokens from the pile.

Rating

Unique "Gathering" card. Choose Council Room-grade draw or VP-pile dump + Estate. Mid-game stacks A (VP), end-game switches B.

Tier A — pilot-dependent. Spamming A without B-cash-out wastes value.

How to Play

Early: $5 buy. Engine core draw+VP.

Mid: Spam A (+3 cards / +1 VP). Stack 10-20 VP.

Late: Switch B → Estate + all VP tokens.

A/B Decision

A continue: Need draw, VP stacking, opponent unlikely to B.

B switch: VP stacked 10+, Estate pile near empty, opponent threatens B.

Key Combos

Wild Hunt + Village: Spam A.

Wild Hunt + +1 Buy: Multi-gain.

Wild Hunt + Crown/Throne: Doubled = +6 cards / 2 VP, or B with Estate gain.

Wild Hunt + Engineer: Estate gain alternate.

Wild Hunt + Temple: Both VP-token related.

Synergies

• Village/Worker's Village: Chain.
• +1 Buy: Mass gain.
• Crown/Throne: Doubling.
• Engineer: Estate help.
• Temple: VP-token combo.
• Overlord: A copy.

Counters & Bad Matchups

• Estate-empty before B: VP wasted.
• Heavy trasher: Estate-trash conflict.
• Short games: No VP accumulation.
• Hand attacks: Disrupt A spam.

Advanced Tips

A timing: Engine fires, A spam each turn for 10-20 VP.

B miss: Estate pile empty = B nothing. Track Estates.

Mirror: First B wins.

Wild Hunt + Temple synergy: Both VP-token, double dipping.

3-pile: Wild Hunt + Estate empty = end + mass VP.
