Mantis Blades

How this card works

Mantis Blades have no rules text - just +2 power for 1 Eddie and 1 Red RAM, the cheapest +2 among Gear. The skill is putting those two points where they change something.

Swordwise Huscle has 3 power and draws a card on attack if it has 5+ power. The blades put it exactly at 5, and since Gear power is on the Unit from the start, the condition is met when the attack is declared. Royce: Psycho on the Edge counts differently: during your turn that Legend has +2 power for each Gear equipped to it, so the same blades are worth 4 there.

A small card is also easy to break. Detonate defeats a rival Gear with power 2 or less for 1 Eddie at Quick speed, and the blades sit right on that line.
