Dark Oak Planks

Dark Oak Planks is the 88th card that was added to the game. It was added on the 9th of February 2022.
It has -1 cost, meaning 1 gold is gained upon placing it. However, it has no attack and does nothing else, so it takes up a slot by being placed. It has the ability to be killed for 2 gold.
= Strategy =
Dark Oak Planks itself serves almost always as a sort of "loan" card, as it gives 1 gold instantly, requiring 2 gold to kill it later. It can also be given buffs, but they are much better used on most other cards. 
= Synergies =
==== Beacon ====
Beacon works well with Dark Oak Planks, as it gives it attack and allows it to damage itself through counterattacks, circumventing the penalty.
==== Bone Block / Soul Sand / Soul Campfire ====
These cards rely on other cards dying, which works well with Dark Oak Planks' sole purpose of being killed.
==== Villager ====
This card's cost reduction works well with Dark Oak Planks' usage as a gold generator.
= Counters =
==== Magma Block / Red Mushroom Block ====
These cards apply damaging effects on any cards the opponent places, which can be used to avoid paying for Dark Oak Planks' ability.
==== Arrows ====
This card deals 1 damage to all cards, including Dark Oak Planks. Do the math.
