− | + | Digging [[draw]] cards have a number of advantages of "[[vanilla]]" draw cards (i.e., those with +X Cards); they're usually able to skip over junk [[Top decker|top-decked]] by [[deck order attack]]s, they're able to ignore the [[Adventures tokens|-1 Card token]], and they often have a farther reach, though usually with a decrease in the total number of cards they can draw, making them similar to sifters in that respect. On the other hand, they can sometimes skip over cards you actually want in you hand, and they don't actually get rid of the -1 Card token. Given that they usually hunt for a specific type of card (Action, Treasure, not a duplicate of a card in your hand), digging draw usually requires that you structure your deck in a way that most takes advantage of them. | |
− | + | Digging [[Attack]]s are usually on the weaker side; since the ability to seek a specific card in your opponent's deck is a fairly potent one, they're hampered with restrictions, either being non-stackable (Fortune Teller) or giving your opponent a consolation prize (Saboteur). However, if played consistently, they can be quite annoying to your opponent. | |
