Skirmisher is an Action-Attack card from Allies. It is a source of cantrip money that does a Militia-esque handsize attack if you gain an Attack card during the turn you've played it.
FAQ
Official FAQ
- When played, Skirmisher sets up an ability for the rest of the turn; any time you gain an Attack card, each other player discards down to 3 cards in hand.
- Revealing Moat when Skirmisher is played stops the attack; you can't reveal Moat when an Attack card is gained later.
Other Rules clarifications
- An attacked player has to discard first before they get to use heir own abilities triggered by you gaining a card, such as Invest or Falconer.
- If you gain Skirmisher and then play it (with e.g. City-state), the other players will discard down to 3 cards in hand.
- When you gain an Attack, you may play it with City-state before attacking with Skirmisher. This may be useful if the Attack you played would draw them cards (such as Soothsayer).
- If you gain a copy of Skirmisher with either Disciple or Specialist, Skirmisher will attack. But if you gain a copy of Skirmisher with Kiln, you won't attack, because you haven't followed Skirmisher's instructions yet.
- Exchanging or exiling a card doesn't count as gaining it. So if you exchange a Bat for a Vampire, or exile a Skirmisher with Invest, you won't attack.
