“No questions coming in. A price going out.”
Control & theft
Black Rose Syndicate
The Velvet Fist. Control through elegance — a dead host feeds no one.
How the crew plays
The Black Rose Syndicate wins with other people's Power. Their kit steals strength from rival cards, saps the strongest threats, and quietly turns even trades into winning ones. You rarely out-muscle a block outright — you make the rival's muscle yours.
Cruel against big single threats; pressed by wide boards that spread Power thin.
The Legend
Every faction fields one Legend — its legendary card and its boss on the solo ladder. For Black Rose Syndicate, that's Donna Rosa (cost 6, power 4) — its Ongoing ability: rival cards here have -2 Power; rival cards elsewhere have -1 Power.
