Most often, this can be used tactically if you have some knowledge over what you could stow away for example, if you’ve been deck tracking you might be able to predict that the remainder of your shuffle is all junk, and therefore good targets for temporary thinning. Thus, this effect is a mediocre replacement for tools that let you achieve permanent deck control easily, and is instead more frequently useful as a way to temporarily remove cards from your shuffles. Finally, the effect of storing a card or taking back all the stored cards is mandatory, so if you want to permanently store cards, you cannot play Native Village without removing another card from your deck, which may pose the risk of taking away important and useful cards, and is especially problematic when you also rely on Native Village for extra terminal space. Rabble or Clerk ) exist, but often requires a lot of effort to thin a single card, especially compared to traditional thinners such as Lookout. Exceptions such as topdecking or deck inspection effects of your own (like Secret Passage ) and of your opponent (e.g. The primary problem of using Native Village for thinning is that you cannot usually control which card is affected. This is however very difficult to practically implement, for multiple reasons. In theory, Native Village’s stow-away-and-take-later effect is also useful for pseudo-thinning, being similar to an Exiling effect. Relatedly, another problem is that oftentimes you will need to pick up your cards from the mat prematurely (i.e., with a poor drawing ratio) in order to continue your turn. Since you don't have much control over which cards get set aside, the most common problem is that you can temporarily lose access to potentially important cards that find themselves on the mat, including copies of Native Village itself. Systematically using Native Village in this way may not always be possible, however, since collecting many cards on the mat can present some problems. For example, if you play five Native Villages each turn and pick up your cards only with the last one, this is equivalent to playing four Villages and one Necropolis. Mathematically, this ratio is N over N+1, where N is the number of cards on the mat when you take them. For example, if you alternate between putting cards onto the mat and taking them off, Native Village effectively "draws" half a card per play this ratio improves when you collect more cards on the mat and asymptotically tends towards that of a cantrip. The average impact on your hand size per Native Village played depends on the number of times you play it to put a card onto the mat before picking them up. While its storing effect can act as a way to remove cards from shuffles, this is usually an unreliable and temporary method of thinning. While it can provide the necessary +Actions for an engine, most other villages come with stronger bonus effects, so the presence of such an alternative often makes Native Village skippable, although the low price means it can be a useful supplement to expensive villages offering superior benefits. Native Village is a cheap village that has a variable effect on your hand size: on average it decreases it, but by less than a true stop card would.
If you choose to place the top card of your deck on the Native Village player mat you may then immediately look at the card, but your choice has been done.At the end of the game, all cards from the mat are returned to your deck for scoring.You cannot look at the top card before deciding whether to set it aside or take the cards from the mat.You may choose either option even if there are no cards in your deck or no cards on your mat.You can look at the cards on your mat whenever you like, but other players cannot.When you first set aside a card with Native Village, take a Native Village mat to put the cards on.When you play this, you either take all of the cards from your mat, or set aside the top card of your deck on your mat.
