|
| A Trashing attack is an [[attack]] card which [[trashes]] other players' cards, typically from the top of their deck. Most of these attack have certain constraints on what cards they are able to trash.
| |
|
| |
| ==List of Cards==
| |
| [[Hex]]es listed function as the relevant Attack when revealed by an Attack-[[Doom]] card.
| |
|
| |
| Cards in ''italics'' have been [[removed]].
| |
|
| |
| ===Trash and replace with other cards===
| |
| *[[Intrigue]]: ''{{Card|Saboteur}}'' -- Find and trash a card costing {{Cost|3}} or more. Replacement at least {{Cost|2}} cheaper, victim's choice.
| |
| *[[Intrigue]]: {{Card|Swindler}} -- Replacement of same cost, attacker's choice.
| |
| *[[Nocturne]]: {{Hex|Locusts}} -- Replacement cheaper and of same type, victim's choice unless a {{Card|Copper}} or {{Card|Estate}} was trashed (in this case replaced with {{Card|Curse}}).
| |
| *[[Allies]]: {{card|Barbarian}} -- Replacement cheaper and of same type, victim's choice but only if trashed card cost {{Cost|3}} or more (otherwise replaced with {{Card|Curse}}).
| |
|
| |
| ===Trash card in certain price range===
| |
| * Between {{Cost|3}} and {{Cost|6}}
| |
| **[[Dark Ages]]: {{Card|Knights}}
| |
| **[[Dark Ages]]: {{Card|Rogue}}
| |
| **[[Adventures]]: {{Card|Giant}}
| |
| * Between {{Cost|3}} and {{Cost|4}}
| |
| **[[Adventures]]: {{Card|Warrior}}
| |
| **[[Nocturne]]: {{Hex|War}}
| |
|
| |
| ===Trash Treasures===
| |
| *[[Base]]: ''{{Card|Thief}}''
| |
| *[[Base]]: {{card|Bandit}} -- Doesn't trash {{Card|Copper}}.
| |
| *[[Seaside]]: ''{{Card|Pirate Ship}}''
| |
| *[[Seaside]]: {{card|Corsair}} -- Only trashes {{Card|Silver}} and {{Card|Gold}}.
| |
| *[[Hinterlands]]: ''{{Card|Noble Brigand}}'' -- Only trashes {{Card|Silver}} and {{Card|Gold}}.
| |
|
| |
| ===Related===
| |
| * {{Set|Intrigue}}: {{Card|Masquerade}} makes all players pass a card from their hand to the next player which gives a result similar to a trash and replace attack.
| |
| * {{Set|Menagerie}}: {{Card|Cardinal}} and {{Card|Gatekeeper}} [[Exile]]s the card instead of trashing it which also removes the card from the opponent's deck, but unlike real trashing the Exiled card can be gotten back and still count for determining {{VP}}.
| |
| * {{Set|Plunder}}: {{event|Maelstrom}} forces opponents to trash a card from their hand; this may be beneficial if they have junk in their hand, but may act as an attack if they have nothing in hand that they want to trash.
| |
| * {{Set|Rising Sun}}: {{Prophecy|Panic}} cause all [[Treasure]]s to be returned to their pile after playing them.

| ===Development comments===
| |
| These cards have a complicated history due to major balance issues. The most obvious trashing attack, "Each other player trashes the top card of their deck." has major problems.
| |
| {{Quote|Text=
| |
| This is the hardest kind of attack to make. It has to be that there isn't too much variance in how it hits the other players - no making one player lose a {{Card|Province}} while another loses a {{Card|Copper}}. It has to be good enough to play - trashing {{Card|Copper|Coppers}} and {{Card|Estate|Estates}} is usually not what you're after. It can't generate a ridiculous game state too easily - some of the early cards in this category would by themselves lead to a game where everyone had just 5 cards and could not get ahead. And finally it has to be that the text actually fits on the card. With all of those other conditions to meet, it's tricky.

|
| |
| Ultimately, there usually isn't much room to define these attacks by the extra stuff they do; they often end up defined by how they handle the problems above. And then some people don't like them. My stuff, my precious stuff! So I do these less often than the other attacks.

| {{Quote|Text= Prior to development of the main set, there were a bunch of cards in different expansions that were variations on "trash the top card of each other player's deck." Once it became apparent that that concept was flawed, all of those cards needed reworking, and some just died.
