What this card does

Both players shuffle their hand back into their deck and draw four fresh cards.

Resets your own hand too, so play it when four cards is a fair trade for you.

What it does

Judge

Each player shuffles their hand into their deck and draws 4 cards.

Judge makes each player shuffle away their current hand and draw four new cards. Played late, when the opponent is holding a large hand of useful cards, it shrinks them down to four and slows their plan. The cost is that your own hand also drops to four.

Which deck it belongs in

A disruption option for decks that want to slow a fast opponent at key moments.

Strengths
  • Shrinks a large opponent hand down to just four cards
  • Refreshes your own hand at the same time if it has gone stale
  • Cheap disruption that needs no Energy
Watch out for
  • It cuts your own hand to four as well, so timing matters
  • If the opponent already has a small hand, it may help them more than you

Pairs well with

Boss's Orders
Boss's Orders

A strong Supporter to use on other turns, since Judge takes up the one Supporter slot when it is played.

Pro tip

Hold Judge for a turn when the opponent has stockpiled cards, then play it to set their plan back.

Good to know

Judge is a disruption Supporter, valued for the moments it slows the opponent rather than for raw card draw.

Note for the parent

Only one Supporter card can be played each turn, so Judge competes with draw and search Supporters for that single slot.
