<p>Silver Blaze: Opportunities section</p> <hr /> <div>There are 2 broad strategies in Abandon All Artichokes: remove all artichokes from your deck, or have such a large deck that you have good odds of drawing a hand with no artichokes.<br /> <br /> Good early game cards:<br /> * Carrot - composts 2 artichokes, with no opportunity cost since you have no other cards to play<br /> * Potato - good odds of finding an artichoke to compost in the first rounds<br /> * Broccoli - likely to have at least 3 artichokes in hand<br /> * Eggplant - compost an artichoke, though the passing probably won't have an effect<br /> * Beet - random card from hand is almost certainly an artichoke to be traded or composted<br /> <br /> Good late game cards:<br /> * Leek - steal non-artichokes from opponents<br /> * Eggplant - if you have at least 3 artichokes in hand, lets you compost one and pass the other two. If you're lucky, they might not have enough artichokes in hand to pass you 2<br /> * Pepper - stack your deck so you're more likely to draw non-artichokes. Can also put an artichoke there for Potato to compost<br /> * Beet - play the Beet when you only have artichokes left in your hand so the artichoke is randomly selected for trade/compost. Maybe you'll get something useful from an opponent!<br /> <br /> Good no artichokes strategy cards:<br /> * Carrot - compost 2 artichokes<br /> * Onion - compost an artichoke<br /> * Eggplant - compost an artichoke<br /> <br /> Good big deck strategy cards:<br /> * Corn - get extra cards into your deck. Disadvantage: have to hold on to an artichoke to play<br /> * Peas - get extra cards into your deck: Disadvantage: gives to your opponents<br /> * Pepper - stack your deck so you're more likely to draw non-artichokes<br /> <br /> Opportunities:<br /> * Opponent has no deck or discards - if opponent has 5 cards or fewer, play Onion or Peas and give them a card, then play Leek to take it right back (and play it yourself) <br /> * Corn + Pepper + Potato - to guarantee success for a Potato, play Corn to put a fresh artichoke in the discards, then play Pepper to put that artichoke on top of the deck.</div>
