SupporterBeginner to play

What this card does

When your turn ends, you flip two coins to see if you can look at the opponent's hand.

For each heads result, you choose one card from their hand and move it to the bottom of their deck.

What it does

Cyrus's Initiative

You can play only one Supporter card each turn. When you play this card, put it next to your Active Pokémon. When your turn ends, discard this card. Flip 2 coins. If either of them is heads, look at your opponent's hand. For each heads, choose 1 card from your opponent's hand and put it on the bottom of your opponent's deck in any order.

This card acts as a temporary scout for your Pokemon. It allows you to remove key cards from your opponent's hand by hiding them at the bottom of their deck.

Which deck it belongs in

It suits decks that rely on knowing what the opponent is holding. This helps you plan your moves without giving away your own strategy.
