'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an [[Action]]-[[Duration]]-[[Attack]] card from {{Set|Plunder}}. An unorthodox [[handsize attack]], it makes your opponents discard after they play Action cards, rather than immediately. This effectively turns most of their [[draw]] cards into [[sifter]]s, and prevents them from achieving the large [[glossary#H|hand sizes]] that many [[engine]] strategies rely on.

* 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.

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.
