I don't actually remember, and it isn't noted in my reports. Probably it was too generous; possibly it was easy to forget because it's unusual. While there was such a version, it almost immediately changed to only working on other players' attacks. | I don't actually remember, and it isn't noted in my reports.

+2 Cards If you have 5 or fewer cards in hand, +2 Cards. When another player plays an Attack, you may first play this from your hand. |
Guard Dog is an Action-Reaction card from Hinterlands (Second Edition). It provides a small amount of terminal draw, which increases if played from a small starting handsize, so it can help you recover from an opponent's handsize attack. It also allows you to play it immediately when an opponent plays any Attack card—this reaction ability won't protect your handsize from most handsize attacks, but can be a consolation prize for getting hit by other varieties of Attack.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- When you play this, you draw 2 cards, then count the cards in your hand; if it's 5 or fewer, you draw 2 more cards.
- When another player plays an Attack card, you may play this before that Attack resolves; then the Attack still happens (unless you stop it another way, such as with a Moat you just drew). So if another player plays Berserker, and you respond with Guard Dog, you'll first draw 2 cards, then discard down to 3 cards in hand.
- As usual playing it means putting it into play and following its instructions.
- If you play this during another player's turn, you discard it from play during that turn's Clean-up.

Guard Dog has no connection, and is another new Reaction. Okay so. If they play say Witch, you can react to play your Guard Dog. If they play say Militia, don't react, just save Guard Dog for your turn, and then you'll draw 2 extra cards. Of course there are also all the other ways you can get the 4 cards. It's another one that plays into the filtering theme.
