Batching two “run-based subtypes” (run
and icebreaker
), MuslihaT can draw a card a turn! (And she's the only such Crim ID in Standard, without Geist or Liza.)
Given 15–19 run-events and 3–4 breakers, she should draw on 40–50% of turns. For example (in-faction):
- 3× Transfer of Wealth
- 3× Bravado
- 3× Clean Getaway
- 3× Carpe Diem
- 2× Pinhole Threading
- 2× “Inside Job” (Window Opportunity? S-Dobrado? Tread Lightly?)
- 1× Overclock
plus:
- 1× Curupira
- 1× Carmen
- 1× Revolver
- 1× Sang Kancil (a “run-events-matter” icebreaker!)
- 1× Mayfly? (R.I.P. Aumakua)
Design-wise, it's an interactive effect with a non-interactive trigger:
- The benefit requires interaction, since the cards drawn either initiate runs, or can only be used during runs*; except for a minority of cards with optional-runs (like Carpe Diem), or some hypothetical “econ breaker” (like a new Gingerbread, that could only break
Observer
s, but which could be trashed like No Free Lunch to detag). - But the condition itself (BoT) is non-interactive. Even if you can't make a single run this turn (you need to remove tags after an Oppo Research, draw back up after a Fujii Asset Retrieval, find some hate card, or so on), your ID will still trigger and you might still draw a card (setting yourself up for next turn).
Such “predicated”-draw is also card-selection:
- If you're looking for an “on-type” (like Transfer of Wealth), she might draw it.
- If you're looking for an “off-type” card (like No Free Lunch), she can still dig you deeper (like the The Class Act).

.
She also cross-synergizes with:
- “
Run
-Events-matter”, in particular: like Swift and Debbie "Downtown" Moreira. - “Events-matter”, in general: like Mystic Maemi (or even Aniccam and Ghosttongue?).
IIUC, her name is a pun:
- “muslihat”: means trick/fraud in Indonesian/Malay.
- “Musliha”: is a female name (from Arabic).
- (CF. a “Patricia Kaplan” nicknamed “TricK”, but even smoother.)
@StaticSky It was /u/CallMeStair (who's from Malaysia, IIRC) who mentioned the pun on Reddit! I just Googled it for links.
