A '''deck order attack''' is an [[Attack]] card that somehow messes with the top of an opponent's deck.  This usually involves revealing cards from an opponent's deck and doing something with them, but a few force a player to put cards from their hand on their deck. [[Trashing attack]]s usually fall into this category. They often combine well with each other, in that some deck order 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 order 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.

Some attacks let your opponent draw cards and so affect your opponent's deck:
−
* {{Card|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)
+
* {{Card|Minion}}, {{Card|Margrave}}, {{Card|Soothsayer}}, and {{card|Legionary}}
−
* {{Card|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, {{Card|Minion}}, {{Card|Margrave}}, and {{Card|Soothsayer}} cause opponents to draw the top card(s) of their decks.

Rabble, a deck order attack card.

A deck order attack is an Attack card that somehow affects the top of an opponent's deck, typically in a negative way, making it less likely that the next cards drawn will be useful to the player. Many involve revealing cards from an opponent's deck and doing something with them; others deposit bad cards directly onto the deck, slowing cycling as well as messing up draws.
