Editing Junking attack

[[Image:Mountebank.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Mountebank]], a junking attack card.]]

A '''junking attack''' or '''junker''' is an [[Attack]] card that puts undesirable cards—i.e., "[[junk]]"—into an opponent's deck, thus weakening the average strength of their hands and usually slowing [[cycling]]. The undesirable card ''par excellence'' is the {{Card|Curse}}, and most junking attacks are [[curser|cursers]].

Some cards distribute undesirable cards other than Curse:
* {{Card|Mountebank}}, {{Card|Noble Brigand}} and {{Hex|Greed}} distribute {{Card|Copper}}. (Mountebank is ''also'' a curser.)
* {{Card|Marauder}} and {{Card|Cultist}} distribute [[Ruins]].
* {{Card|Swindler}}, {{Card|Ambassador}}, {{Card|Masquerade}}, and {{Card|Jester}} can distribute a wide variety of junk cards, depending on the luck of when they are played.
* {{hex|Locusts}} and {{card|Barbarian}} can let the victim choose what card to gain, subject to certain [[cost]] and [[type]] restrictions; if there are no desirable cards available meeting those criteria, they may be forced to gain a junk card.
* {{Card|Messenger}} can act as a junker, depending on what you choose for everyone to gain.

{{Card|Embassy}} and {{Card|Governor}} are sometimes jokingly called junkers because they distribute {{Card|Silver}} to opponents, and Silver can often have a negative impact on [[engine]] decks or decks trying to buy {{Card|Colony|Colonies}}, but this is nowhere near as harmful as actual junkers.
