| − | * An affected player can order this attack with other effects that trigger after playing an Action card. For example, they can first discard down to 4 cards in hand, and then spend a Favor for {{Ally|Fellowship of Scribes}}.

| − | * Unlike other Duration Attacks (such as {{Card|Swamp Hag}}), Frigate does nothing at the start of your next turn. This means that if this attack won't affect anyone (e.g., each other player blocks it with {{Card|Moat}}), you'll immediately discard Frigate from play during your Clean-up.
| |
| − | * If a player reacts to Frigate being played with a [[Reaction]] that plays itself (e.g. {{Card|Guard Dog}}), they won't discard down to 4 cards after playing that, because the Frigate's attack isn't active yet.

| − | The first version made +{{Cost|4}}; that was too much. It also triggered on drawing cards; triggering on playing Actions is simpler and worked out. Initially you get the +{{Cost}} next turn; it felt like it needed the push of giving you the +{{Cost}} up front.

| − | Frigate, well typically the weakest card in a set these days is an attack, what can you do. It's because some people hate attacks, and {{Card|Witch}}es are the only ones without issues; people are terrified of {{Card|Knights}}, and {{Card|Spy|Spies}} are so slow, and {{Card|Militia}} doesn't allow for much variety. And then Duration attacks are tricky and wordy. So, there's always a {{Card|Raider}} or {{Card|Gatekeeper}} or something, that avoids breaking the game and being hated by being weak instead, and well I can live with that, at least the attack fans still get a card. Oh they voted Frigate at the top you say? Huh. Uh. Nevermind.

| − | I just think about Frigate so much differently. Frigate doesn't stop you from drawing your deck. It stops you from having a big hand of payload at the end of it.

| − | During playtesting my guess was that it was on the weak side, though fine. Now, more or less the same. Some people are scared of it, but I endlessly saw tracer build engines despite Frigate being in play every turn. It's an attack card; it's intentionally bothering the other players, that's what attacks do.
