Deck inspection attack
From DominionStrategy Wiki
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 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.
Secret Chamber is a usually a good defense against these Attacks, since they give the victim some choice over what card the Attack will find on the deck.

Fringe cases
- Tribute is not an Attack, but it reveals cards from an opponent's deck and has an effect that depends on the revealed cards, so it fits into some of the same strategies as deck-inspection attacks (and is often mistaken for an Attack by new players)
- Sea Hag discards the top card of the opponents' decks, but the effect of the Attack does not depend on what the discarded card is.
- Similarly, Minion, Margrave, and Soothsayer cause opponents to draw the top card of their decks.
- Bureaucrat and Ghost Ship do the opposite, causing opponents to put cards from their hand on top of their decks.
