How this card works

Sasha's printed power is 0, so as a Go Solo Unit for 5 Eddies she only becomes a threat once her Attack ability resolves. You reveal the top card of your deck, put it in your hand, and Sasha gains power equal to that card's cost for the rest of the turn. If she is defeated later, a Rival discards 1.

The catch is timing: you pick the attack target first and reveal afterwards, so you are betting on your deck. A list full of expensive cards makes the gamble safer - hitting Placide: Voodoo Sentinel turns her into an 8-power attacker on the spot. Because she is a Legend on the field, a successful steal also triggers Rogue Amendiares: Preem Solo.

Keep in mind that she steals nothing while her power is still 0. She adds 2 Blue RAM to your deck, and while face-down she is simply a Legend you can spend as 1 Eddie, so hold the Go Solo until you have 5 Eddies to spare.
