Bling (💎) “quickdraws” whenever you creditlessly install. For example:
- Gachapon can double-trigger Bling, by installing a
≤2[$]
-drop (and costing0[$]
itself). - Topan can trigger Bling each turn, it being their Console.
Design:
- It has “turn-length momentum”. Thus, its unbounded
Whenever you …
trigger (vs. a boundedThe first time each turn you …
) has a safety-valve. Even if you trigger it four times in a turn, you might only get one benefit. CF. a “complementary” effect likeWhenever you …, look at the top card of your stack. If it has printed install or play cost 0[$], you may reveal it and add it to your grip.
. - At best, it can draw every installation (including the
hosted
cards). At worst, it just mills you every installation. as if they were in your grip
: Thehosted
cards can be cheapened by Topan.install a card without spending credits
: It doesn't trigger off Paladin Poemu (not readingfrom your pool
), which I like; it (not readingfrom your grip
) does still trigger offheap
-installs like The Price orset-aside
-installs like Gachapon.
Synergies:
Zero-Drops: Like Gourmand, No Free Lunch, Stoneship Chart Room, etc.
Cost-Redux: In Topan (
-2[$]
) (or Sebastião (-2[$]
, connections)?). Via The Price (-3[$]
!), Gachapon (-2[$]
, programs/virtuals), Privileged Access (-2[$]
, resources), Bahia Bands (-1[$]
), etc.

EDIT I mistakenly suggested the following synergy...
trash all hosted cards
: If you've “quickdrawn” a Steelskin Scarring or Strike Fund, then you can clicklessly “play” them at EoT (whichadd them to the bottom of your stack
wouldn't trigger). In particular, because it tastes Steelskinwhen your discard phase ends
(notaction phase
), you can pass the turn with a seven-card hand.
...but as @getmemy
says in their comment, Bling shouldn’t trigger them:
- Bling doesn’t say
TREAT hosted cards as if they were in your grip.
- SS/SF don’t say
When this event is trashed from ANY LOCATION except the play area, …
I think getmemy is onto something here ... But that's just a very unintuitive non-interaction in-faction! Kinda a slip in the design :(

Good catch! Edited the review.
I'm pretty sure Steelskin and Strike Fund don't get triggered when trashed from Bling, since they both specify they trigger when "trashed from your grip or stack" and cards on Bling aren't actually in your grip, you can just play them as if they were.
