'''Emissary''' is an [[Action]]-[[Liaison]] card from [[Allies]]. It is a [[terminal draw]] card that becomes [[non-terminal draw|non-terminal]] (and hands out [[Favor]] tokens) if playing it causes you to [[reshuffle]].

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* First draw 3 cards; then see if drawing those cards caused you to shuffle. If it did, you get +1&nbsp;Action and +2&nbsp;Favors.
* It only counts as shuffling if at least one card was in your discard pile.
=== Other rules clarifications ===
* This checks if any cards were in your discard pile, and not how many cards were actually shuffled. So if you use either {{Ally|Order of Astrologers}} or {{Ally|Order of Masons}} to effectively shuffle 0 cards back into your deck, you'll still get the bonus from Emissary.
* This checks if its +3 Cards is the effect that you makes you shuffle. So if playing Emissary gets you +1 Card (from {{Event|Pathfinding}}), and that makes you shuffle, you won't get the bonus from Emissary.
** But if you use {{Ally|Order of Masons}} to leave yourself with less than 3 cards in your deck after {{Event|Pathfinding}}, then Emissary's +3 Cards will make you shuffle, and that's give you +1 Action and +2 Favors.

=== Secret History ===

|Text=Initially this had no +[[Favors]] on it. It got +1&nbsp;Favor because it spiced up the card a little; a while later that bumped up to +2&nbsp;Favors because some [[Ally|Allies]] cost more than one Favor and they were sure hard to make do anything with Emissary.

=== Wording ===

A good starting point is to assume that every time "would" is used, it's a huge mistake. And then work from there.

As usual I like having a good wording for normal game situations; no-one is ever using {{Ally|Order of Masons}} to make their draw not work. Maybe there is a great wording I missed, but the shuffling check is normally easy to understand.
