A '''deck inspection attack''' is an [[Attack]] card that reveals cards from an opponent's deck and does something with them. [[Trashing attack|Trashing attacks]] and [[deck order attack|deck order attacks]] usually fall into this category. They often combine well with each other, in that some deck inspection attacks will let you determine what card is on the opponent's deck so you know how beneficial it will be to play another deck inspection attack; for example, {{Card|Spy}} or {{Card|Scrying Pool}} can let you set up an opponent's deck to have a good card to hit with {{Card|Jester}}. In other cases, they conflict with each other, and playing a second deck inspection attack will cancel out the effects of a previous one; for example, {{Card|Fortune Teller}} will leave a [[dead]] card on top of your opponent's deck, but attacking with {{Card|Pirate Ship}} afterward will discard that card and will have only one chance of finding a [[Treasure]] card instead of the usual two.

Jester, a deck-inspection attack card.

A deck inspection attack is an Attack card that reveals cards from an opponent's deck and does something with them. Trashing attacks and deck order attacks usually fall into this category.

They sometimes combine well with each other, for example, Scrying PoolScrying Pool.jpg can let you set up an opponent's deck to have a good card to hit with JesterJester.jpg. In other cases, they conflict with each other, for example, RabbleRabble.jpg may leave dead cards on top of your opponent's deck, and if it does attacking with Fortune TellerFortune Teller.jpg afterward will usually have no effect.

Deck inspection attacks do not interact with the -1 Card token; the token is put back on the relevant player's deck once the card is done inspecting.
