What this card does

The Thieving Swipe attack costs one Darkness Energy and one Colourless Energy to deal 30 damage.

It forces the opponent to show their hand so you can take a card and put it at the bottom of their deck.

Signature attack

Thieving Swipe

Your opponent reveals their hand, and you choose a card you find there and put it on the bottom of their deck. (30 damage)

This attack is useful because it removes a key card from your opponent's immediate reach. By hiding a card at the bottom of their deck, you make it harder for them to play their best moves soon.
