Editing Attack immunity

[[Image:Moat.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Moat]], the attack immunity card in the [[Dominion (Base Set)|Base set]].]]

A number of cards have effects that make you '''immune to your opponent's [[Attack]]s'''. While there exist other ways of mitigating the impacts of certain attacks, such as trashing incoming junk using {{Card|Watchtower}}, cards providing attack immunity completely nullify all types of attack.  Such cards are often just called "'''Moats'''", in reference to {{Card|Moat}} from the {{Set|Dominion|base set}}.

Attack immunity only works against Attack cards if it is in force as the attack is played. In the case of [[Duration]] attacks such as {{Card|Swamp Hag}}, if your opponent plays their attack before you put attack immunity into effect, you will still suffer the effects of the attack.

{{Card|Noble Brigand}} also performs its attack when it is bought. Attack immunity does not block the attack in this case, as buying Noble Brigand is not playing it. {{Card|Haunted Castle}} and {{Card|Ill-Gotten Gains}} have on-gain effects that similarly cannot be blocked. 

Some cards can have effects that can feel like attacks but are not. Examples include {{Card|Masquerade}} and {{Card|Possession}}. Only cards with the Attack [[Card types|type]] can be blocked. On the other hand, some Attack cards have beneficial effects in addition to their harmful ones, such as {{card|Soothsayer}}, or effects that are usually harmful that might be beneficial in a specific case (e.g., a [[discard]] attack allowing you to discard a {{card|Tunnel}}). Attack immunity blocks all effects of an opponent's Attack card, even if you want to be affected by them.

Attack immunity does not prevent you from using [[Reaction]] cards that trigger when an opponent plays an Attack card, such as {{Card|Diplomat}} or {{Card|Horse Traders}}. That is because these cards are not conditional on you being affected by the attack, merely that an Attack card was played.

Attack immunity blocks all effects of an opponent's Attack card, even if you want to be affected by them. {{card|Moat}} and {{card|Shield}} allow you to choose whether or not to activate them against any given Attack; but the others must ordinarily be put into effect before you know which if any Attacks are coming, and they protect you from all Attacks while they are in effect whether you want them to or not.

-== Effects that are unaffected by attack immunity ==
-The following cards and [[card-shaped thing]]s resemble attacks or have effects that are usually associated with attacks but do not count as attacks for attack immunity and hence ''cannot'' be prevented with attack immunity. This is usually the case because the effects do not have the Attack type, and/or the relevant effect does not occur upon the card being played (rather on the card being gained for example).
