'''Patrol''' is an [[Action]] card from the [[second edition]] of [[Intrigue]]. It is a [[terminal draw]] card that will also [[sifter|sift]] {{card|Curse|Curses}} and [[Victory]] cards off the top of your deck for you, clearing out your next hand of potentially [[dead]] cards.

It replaces the [[removed]] card {{card|Scout}}, an extremely weak [[non-terminal]] Action that cleared Victory cards off the top of the deck and did nothing else.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote|Text=This replaces {{Card|Scout}}. Pretty directly really; it can also get Curses, and instead of +1 Action it's +3 Cards, and it costs {{Cost|5}} instead of {{Cost|4}}. For a while it gave +1 Action and +{{Cost|1}} per different type in your top 3 cards, and only Scouted 3 deep; then it gave a fixed +1 Action +{{Cost|2}}, but I didn't like having both that and {{Card|Minion}}; then I tried giving you an [[Attack]] a [[Reaction]] and a Victory card, rather than all the Victory cards and Curses; then I tried looking at 4 cards and taking the Victory/Curse cards plus two more.

=== Simulation ===
{{Quote|Text=With Patrol, there was some concern that we were underrating how good it was in boring decks. And I took the opportunity to ask Geronimoo for a favor, and he simulated it for me. In the early days I simulated some cards myself, but Geronimoo has better simulation technology.
