Show which side is the bottom (for cards like Caitlin)

[GR0]

When you place cards on the top of your deck with a card effect you get told which side is the top (the left AKA the first card you select), but no such thing when placing cards on the bottom. Would be nice if it showed you, rather than having to guess "is the first card you select placed completely on the bottom, or on the top of the bottom?"

 

On that note, I'd like to ask that question: when you use a card such as Caitlin, does the first card you select get placed all the way on the bottom (with the second card being on top of it, etcetera), or does the first card you select get placed on the top of the bottom (with the second card being under it, etcetera)?

Hello there, thank you for posting your very intriguing suggestion. I will forward this thread to the development team.

As far as I can tell, there are 3 cards where this matters: Research Record, Underground Expedition, and of course, Caitlin.  And even with these, it will only be relevant when your decksize is extremely low.  That doesn't mean, of course, that it isn't worth knowing.   

 

I did some testing, and I can say with a fair bit of certainty that the first card selected (on the far left) goes on the very bottom.  The last card selected goes on top of the stack.

I remembered you can use Test Deck to face an AI, so I ran some tests of my own. Turns out: the game's inconsistent. 2 examples I tested:

 

Caitlin: when returning 4 cards with this and using Looker next turn (no shuffling, of course), the card placed on the far left isn't drawn

 

Research Record: surprisingly, this one says "top" at the very left (yes, after skipping the option to place cards on the top of the deck). So, just like Caitlin (the left being the "top of the bottom")? Nope: the card placed on the far RIGHT this time wasn't drawn when I used Looker. Inconsistent with Caitlin, and also misleading since it said the left was the top, when in fact it was the bottom.

 

This definitely needs to be fixed: inconsistences and misleading mechanics are bad.
