Omnis, did you shuffle the Politics deck before Chief's last turn? I feel like we've already seen a few Y4s, but I can't recall when it was last shuffled.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Huh. I'm pretty sure we've had two checks with Y4s since then. There are only two in the deck right?

I'm confused. There are no Y4's in the check. There are no Y's in the check. There is a P4 (Purple, not Politics).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There are not, but Chief played one as an interrupt. (I haven't been counting individual cards as assiduously as Helo, so I can't speak to whether that's problematic.)

It's just I've been waiting (forever) to see a Y5, and so I've been noticing Y4s. Let me go back and check.

Zarek played it as an interrupt on Elections Loom back in turn 3.3. I don't think it's been played by anyone since.

Edit: My records of Y4 play agree with Helo's. There was one in the Detector Sabotage check on Turn 5.5, and one in the Network Computers check the next turn. And Zarek just played a third one as an interrupt on this check. Can we get confirmation whether any of them got double-played?
