Sniper is a Dark Interrupt (Lost Interrupt) from A New Hope.
Card Text
During your control phase, fire one of your weapons. If URoRRuR'R'R firing, may add 2 to each weapon destiny draw. (A seeker may be targeted by a character weapon, as if a character with defense value of 4.) Any 'hit' targets are immediately lost.
Lore
Tusken Raiders often attack lone desert travelers at long range. Their cowardly nature leads them to rely on surprise attacks rather than direct engagement.
Notes
- Decipher Glossary Supplement (Updated 29 January 2002) supersedes Glossary Version 2.0 for this title. Side-by-side faces: Errata.
Rulings
- During initiation of this Interrupt, a player chooses a weapon to fire, not a target to fire at. Opponent's response (such as Sense) is played before the target to fire at is chosen. A response to the weapon targeting (e.g. Blaster Deflection) is played slightly later, after that target is chosen.[1]
- I Have A Bad Feeling About This may retarget to a different weapon that can fire, but cannot choose a new target to fire at (because no target to fire at has been selected yet).
