    You don't have to reveal the cards in the face-down pile if you put it into your hand.

  • WotCJun 29, 2026

    You may split the cards into one pile of four and one pile of zero. The pile of four cards could be the face-up pile or the face-down pile. Which pile to choose won't be much of riddle for your opponent if you do that!
