Card text

Playable in Go Solo

Attack Search the top 3 cards of your deck. Reveal a Gear and add it to your hand. Bottom-deck the rest.
(Units with power 0 don't steal Gigs.)

How this card works

Think of Sketchy Ripper as a 2-Eddie Gear tutor, not an attacker. Each time it attacks, you search the top 3 cards of your deck, reveal a Gear, add it to your hand and bottom-deck the rest. With 0 power it steals nothing, so the usual play is to send it at the rival Gig area: the steal is empty, but the Ripper survives and you keep the card.

Units enter with Lag, so the first search comes on your next turn. Attacking a spent rival Unit instead usually means losing the fight.

Because the deck is a hidden area, you may decline to reveal anything and bottom-deck all three, even if a Gear is there. Pair it with Viktor Vektor: Drop Your Illusions, which makes your first CYBERWARE Gear each turn 3 Eddies cheaper - Gorilla Arms then costs 1 Eddie instead of 4.
