The steal formula, read backwards

Floor It is worth an eddie on a ten and on nothing else

01Read their power before you read your handGigs stolen is X = floor(P / 10) + 1. A point taken off a nine changes nothing, and a point taken off an eleven changes nothing. A point taken off a ten halves the attack.
02Hold it for the React StepQuick means you may also play the Program as a reaction to a rival unit’s attack (11.26.1). Played on your own turn you are guessing what they will equip; held, you have already seen it.
03A reaction is not too lateEffects that modify the attacker’s power are applied at the start of the Steal Step (9.23.1), and the React Step comes before it (9.14). The minus one lands while the count is still being worked out.
04It replaces itself, so only the eddie is at riskFloor It draws one. Holding it costs a card slot and nothing else, and the only way to lose value is to spend it on a power the formula does not care about.
Rules noteX = (P / 10) + 1, rounded down (9.23.2.2). A unit with 1 to 9 power steals 1 Gig; 10 to 19 steals 2.
Strategic purposeTheir deck is built to arrive at exactly ten. One eddie takes it back to nine.
Failure conditionsSpending it on a nine, an eleven or a twelve, where it removes a point and no Gig. A pilot who has read their own guide attacks on twelve for this reason, and then the blocker is the answer rather than this.
Tested againstCards the field actually maindecks, played against this line rather than assumed.
