If you don’t have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent, this attack does nothing.

It was named after a mysterious object recorded in an old book. Its body seems to be metallic.

If I ask my opponent how many cards are in their hand, and they miscount, and then I go to attack later in my turn only to find out they were wrong and it’s like one card more or something, what happens? I played in a glc tournament and the judge said I already declared attack so nothing happened and my turn was skipped. Is that correct? Also is there a better place I can ask this? I came here cause I used this site to build my deck

Your opponent is in the wrong for misrepresenting the gamestate. Even if it’s unintentional, the number of cards they have in hand should be public information. If they don’t correctly tell you how many cards they have, they’re obscuring that information and breaking the rules. In this case, a judge should be called to sort out the situation. If your opponent made the mistake on accident, they should correct themselves the moment they realize they were wrong. The fact that they randomly decided to re-check the number of cards in hand when they presumably didn’t draw or discard anything is a little suspicious.
Judge is technically correct that declaring an attack ends your turn, but the fact that the opponent lied to you (intentionally or not) should be enough to justify rolling back to before that attack, imo. I don’t agree with the judge’s ruling here.
