When You Can't Afford a Card
Turn7 Wonders Duel
You never have to pay for a card you can't afford: any accessible card can instead be discarded for coins, which costs nothing. You can also use it to construct a Wonder if you can pay that Wonder's cost. So you always have a play available on your turn.
