Card text
Each other player discards down to 3 cards in hand. The next time anyone gains a Treasure costing or more, gain a Loot.

Cutthroat is an Action-Duration-Attack card from Plunder. It is a discard attack and Loot gainer, but you can't necessarily count on it to perform those functions frequently: once you attack with it, it stays in play doing nothing until anybody gains an expensive Treasure such as Gold; once that happens, everyone who's played a Cutthroat gets a Loot card and the Cutthroats are finally discarded that turn.

FAQ

Official FAQ

• Loot itself is a Treasure costing or more, so a player gaining one will trigger Cutthroats.

Other rules clarifications

• See the Additional rules section for Duration cards in Dominion: Plunder regarding things happening "the next time".
• If you gain a Gold, that will trigger Cutthroats by all players (including ones that you already played). However, if the Gold gain causes you to play a Cutthroat (you gain one from Haggler and then play it with Rush), the Gold won't trigger the Cutthroat you just played (it triggers off your next Treasure gain).
• The "next time" effect gets set up after the other players discard. So if another player discards a Tunnel and gains a Gold, that won't cause you to gain a Loot.

Strategy

Synergies and Combos

Antisynergies

• Family of Inventors and other cost reduction effects can make all treasures cost 4 or less, stopping Cutthroat from triggering.

Secret History

There were unrelated discard attacks that died prior to me trying this. This one didn't change though.
