Shuriken
Rare
It counts the Attacks you play each turn, and every third one gives 1 Strength for the rest of the combat: the 3rd, 6th, 9th and so on. The counter shows your progress toward the next trigger and resets at the start of every turn, so two Attacks left over do not carry. Rare, 275 Gold.

When to take Shuriken
Take it in decks with lots of cheap Attacks, like Shivs or Claw chains, where three Attacks a turn come easily and the Strength compounds on later hits. Skip a deck of few big Attacks.
