Talk to the Hand is an Uncommon Watcher Attack card. It is a single target hit dealing a modest 5(7) damage which exhausts itself afterwards. However, it applies a debuff to the attacked enemy which returns 2(3) Block to the player on future attacks against that enemy. Since the block return debuff is based on each hit on the debuffed enemy, attacks which hit the debuffed enemy more than once or hit multiple debuffed enemies will give multiple instances of Block. This makes Talk to the Hand an unusual attack which usually serves to defend the player on the played turn and after, more than to deal any meaningful damage.
Talk to the Hand works well with multi-hitting cards like Flying Sleeves, Bowling Bash, Tantrum, Ragnarok, or Conjure Blade, as well as hand-returning cards such as Flurry of Blows or Weave. It also allows Wave of the Hand to apply its Weak debuff multiple times for extra defensive power.
The block effect, like all debuffs, is blocked by Artifact.
