Top deckers come in four general types:

* on gain: You place a gained card on your deck rather than in the discard pile giving quicker access to the card and sometimes allowing [[gain-and-play]].
 +
* from hand: This is typically a drawback or [[Attack]] effect that reduces handsize but can sometimes be used to set up your next turn.
 +
* from play: enables you to reuse the played card on your next turn.
 +
* from your discard pile: enables you to play a card more quickly without having to wait for a [[reshuffle]].

Courtyard, a top decker card.

A top decker is a card which causes a card (sometimes itself, sometimes a different card) to be placed on top of the deck rather than somewhere else (often the discard pile).

Top deckers come in four general types:

  • on gain: You place a gained card on your deck rather than in the discard pile giving quicker access to the card and sometimes allowing gain-and-play.
  • from hand: This is typically a drawback or Attack effect that reduces handsize but can sometimes be used to set up your next turn.
  • from play: enables you to reuse the played card on your next turn.
  • from your discard pile: enables you to play a card more quickly without having to wait for a reshuffle.
