A '''deck inspection attack''' is an [[Attack]] card that reveals cards from an opponent's deck and does something with them. [[Trashing attack]]s and deck order attacks usually fall into this category. They often combine well with each other, in that some deck inspection attacks will let you determine what card is on the opponent's deck so you know how beneficial it will be to play another deck inspection attack; for example, {{card|Spy}} or {{card|Scrying Pool}} can let you set up an opponent's deck to have a good card to hit with {{card|Jester}}. In other cases, they conflict with each other, and playing a second deck inspection attack will cancel out the effects of a previous one; for example, {{card|Fortune Teller}} will leave a [[dead]] card on top of your opponent's deck, but attacking with {{card|Pirate Ship}} afterward will discard that card and will have only one chance of finding a [[Treasure]] card instead of the usual two.

{{Card|Secret Chamber}} is a usually a good defense against these Attacks, since they give the victim some choice over what card the Attack will find on the deck.

=== Fringe cases ===
+
* {{Card|Tribute}} is not an Attack, but it reveals cards from an opponent's deck and has an effect that depends on the revealed cards, so it fits into some of the same strategies as deck-inspection attacks (and is often mistaken for an Attack by new players)
+
* {{Card|Sea Hag}} discards the top card of the opponents' decks, but the effect of the Attack does not depend on what the discarded card is.
+
* Similarly, {{Card|Minion}}, {{Card|Margrave}}, and {{Card|Soothsayer}} cause opponents to draw the top card of their decks.
+
* {{Card|Bureaucrat}}, {{Card|Ghost Ship}} and {{Card|Haunted Woods}} do the opposite, causing opponents to put cards from their hand on top of their decks.
