| − | 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}} and {{Card|Noble Brigand}} distribute {{Card|Copper}}. (Mountebank is ''also'' a curser.) |
| − | Some cards distribute undesirable cards other than Curse (cards in ''italics'' have been [[removed]]): | + | |
| − | * ''{{Card|Mountebank}}'' (is also a curser), ''{{Card|Noble Brigand}}'' and {{Hex|Greed}} distribute {{Card|Copper}}. | + | |
| | * {{Card|Marauder}} and {{Card|Cultist}} distribute [[Ruins]]. | | * {{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 cards they are [[collision|collided]] with or that are revealed from your opponent's deck. | + | * {{Card|Swindler}}, {{Card|Ambassador}}, 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 not attacks but distribute {{Card|Silver}} to opponents. This can often have a negative impact on [[deck control]], but is generally less harmful than the other cards that are distributed by junking attacks.
| + | |
| − | * {{card|Shaman}} can put cards in the trash, and forces everyone to gain from the trash. Thus if you trash a junk card from your deck, your opponent may be forced to gain it on their next turn.
