• Type: Action
• Cost: 3
• Effect: Name a card. Reveal the top 3 cards of your deck. Trash the matches. Put the rest back in any order.
• Overpay: Per [1] overpaid, look at the top card of your deck; trash, discard, or put back.

Cost-3 named-trash card. "Name a card; trash matches in top 3" is a unique mechanic. Overpay extends this with topdeck management.

Rating B+. Cost 3 named-trash looks like a Chapel weaker, but Doctor's "trash from deck-top" angle still hits Estates/Coppers/Curses already shuffled in — Chapel needs them in hand.

Overpay is potent: per [1], peek and trash/discard/return. Pay 3 + Overpay 4 = 7 coin total to scan/sort 7 cards.

Overall B+. Solid early-thinning option on Doctor boards. When Chapel is also present, Chapel wins; Doctor backs up.

Early, 3-coin opening for Doctor. Chapel beats it directly; Doctor secondary.

Mid-game, Overpay 5-6 for huge deck-scan/repair. One play sorts most of the deck.

End-game, Overpay during Province turns to clean residue. Trade off Province count vs. Overpay scope.

Generally name "Curse", "Estate", or "Copper":

• Curse: Curse-spreader boards.
• Estate: Early opening to clear starter Estates.
• Copper: Mid-late once Silver/Gold dominate.

If reveal contains no matches, Doctor still effectively re-orders top 3 (pseudo-topdeck control).

Per +[1], look at top card; trash/discard/return. Overpay 1 = pay 4 for 1 extra peek. Overpay 5 = pay 8 (vs. Province).

Use cases:

• Early: Overpay 1-2 for 1-2 cleanups.
• Mid: Overpay 3-4 for 4-5 scans.
• End: Surplus coin during Province turns.

Rate is +1 Coin per +1 trash candidate — not a stunning ratio vs. Provinces, but excellent for deck quality.

Doctor + Chapel: Two-stage thinning.

Doctor + Sea Hag / Mountebank: Counter Curse spam.

Doctor + Throne Room: TR + Doctor = 2 trash steps + 6-card scan.

Doctor + Smithy: Smithy draws, Doctor sorts deck.

Doctor + Library: Library refills hand, Doctor sorts top.

• Chapel / Masquerade: Stacked thinning.
• Throne Room: Doubled.
• Sea Hag / Mountebank: Curse counter.
• Remodel / Baron: Trash + gain combos.
• Library / Great Hall: Deck-management synergy.

• Trash-empty decks: No targets.
• No Overpay coin: Halved value.
• Short games: Overpay returns wasted.
• Chapel-rich boards: Chapel beats first slot.

Audit deck before firing — name the card with most copies left.

Overpay shines on coin-overflow turns where Province isn't reachable.

Second Doctor: One usually fine; multiple Doctors hit different deck regions.

Overpay only on purchase. Playing Doctor doesn't allow extra overpay.

Doctor-BM: Silver/Doctor → Silver → Doctor names Copper → Gold → Province. Mid-tier BM variant.

Reveal dilemma: If reveal is "Curse + Gold + Smithy", Curse trashed, you re-order remaining 2.
