(There's only 1 card that uses this keyword action! It'd be redundant to include "whenever you crank this contraption" effects since the ALL have that. Updated search & description. Because of encoding issues in search template I'm using a forward reference instead of a more precise backreference in the regex to exclude the not-using-the-keyword-action results; this is technically incorrect since it' also exclude contraptions that crank themselves. Luckily no such contraption exists.)
