Editing Guard Dog

  |name = {{PAGENAME}}

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an [[Action]]-[[Reaction]] card from {{Set|Hinterlands|ed=2}}. It provides a small amount of [[terminal draw]], which increases if played from a small starting handsize, so it can help you recover from an opponent's [[handsize attack]]. It also allows you to play it immediately when an opponent plays any [[Attack]] card—this reaction ability ''won't'' protect your handsize from most handsize attacks, but can be a consolation prize for getting hit by other varieties of Attack.  

{{Card|Duchess}} had to be weak, since you could take one for free with a {{Card|Duchy}}. It was still too weak. Man, it could at least have only looked at your own top card, without letting your opponents do it too.

<p>Guard Dog has no connection, and is another new Reaction. Okay so. If they play say {{Card|Witch}}, you can react to play your Guard Dog. If they play say {{Card|Militia}}, don't react, just save Guard Dog for your turn, and then you'll draw 2 extra cards. Of course there are also all the other ways you can get the 4 cards. It's another one that plays into the filtering theme.</p>

This is here so that one of the Reactions will react to attacks, the classic trigger. The premise goes back to before Dominion was published, an early card called Battlements, that could be played for +2 Cards when attacked. How Reactions ended up working left it undoable; then I did it as {{Card|Horse Traders}}, which is a very wordy convoluted way to do it. This is the simple way. And since the Reaction isn't so hot against {{Card|Militia}}s, the top is good against them (as well as a combo with some of the filtering cards). I tried a version that could also trigger on your own Attacks.
