Card Effect
Each player shuffles their hand into their deck. Then, each player draws a number of cards equal to the number of Prize cards they have remaining.
This effect is particularly powerful in the late game. It disrupts the opponent's large hand while allowing the trailing player (with more Prize cards left) to draw fewer cards, creating comeback potential. It's widely regarded as one of the best hand-disruption supporters since N.
