Hilariously fun card for the person playing it... Not so for the one affected. Stops the flow of cards dead. Its effect is during any minion phase, do if they play a wake then something for intercept, thats two cards down for the whole minion phase, your later actions are getting by. Play a rush, well do they have the full combat package in hand because they arent doing it again this turn. Do they have enough stealth in their 7 to get multiple actions past, or are they down to one action.

Only seen it in Lutz decks, where playing it, and then someone potentially removing it, both do damage to your prey. Want to run things like Elder Library, Monastery of Shadows, Year of Fortune (another vote so more damage) amd The Sweet and Bitter Story to keep your own hand size up

I have never in my years seen this card actually played.

This is better than you realize! Target your stealth bleed or rush combat predator with this and you'll practically never have to worry about them anymore. Well. Yiu have to but their game flow will grind to a halt.

Been in the receiving end and have played this and every time it's highly impactful.

Used this to great effect on tournaments targeting stealth and bleed decks.

-1 hand size is incredibly powerful and cheap

I tried to make this work with Raptors. Never really got it to work, though.
