It lets you trash a targeted card from a fairly wide range &#8211; one more than the number of cards in your hand when you played it. In most cases, it\u2019s effectively nonterminal, as the villagers usually more than pay for the action cost of the Recruiter itself. It does not actually increase your handsize, since you have to trash a card, but being handsize-neutral is already better than almost all other trashers. If you\u2019re willing to feed it a bit you can use it as a village extraordinaire, sometimes even powering all the remaining terminals in your deck. It\u2019s almost always worth getting one on an early $5 hand, and often it\u2019s worth getting a second. Do note, though, that there are diminishing returns, as can be the case with many trashers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bite-Sized series of articles is meant to take the most powerful cards in Dominion and give a short explanation<span class=\"more-dots\">&#8230;<\/span> <span class=\"more-tag d-block mt-15\"><a class=\"more-link wp-block-button__link icon-inline\" href=\"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/bite-sized-recruiter\/\">Continue Reading...<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> \"Bite-Sized: Recruiter\"<\/span><\/a><\/span><!-- .more-tag --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,8,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bitesized","category-dominion","category-tabletopgames","no-post-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=959"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1920,"href":"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959\/revisions\/1920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adamhorton.com\/flog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
