Berserker is an Action-Attack card from Hinterlands (Second Edition). It is a gainer and a handsize attack that can be played immediately when you gain it if you already have another Action card in play.
FAQ
Official FAQ
- When you gain a Berserker, if you have an Action card in play you play the Berserker; this means it will go into play, and you'll gain a cheaper card and then the other players will discard down to 3 cards in hand.
- They can still use cards like Moat then.
- If you gain a Berserker with no Actions in play, however, you don't play it.
Other Rules clarifications
- If you gain and play this with Innovation, Berserker loses track of itself, so it can't play itself twice.

Preview
Noble Brigand is a fixed Thief, and yet still too weak. Bandit turns out to be the actual fixed Thief.
Berserker is another Attack that attacks right away. But the Attack is more meaningful, and it comes with more stuff.
