do you still have to drain a domain to play this card or not as it is a disrupt condition?
Yes, as you play him from hand. If it said put into play, like Dreamland Fanatic, you wouldn't need to.

Tommy Malloy's primary intent is to augment a typical Criminal deck. However, one niche use I've found for him is in my Shub/Syndicate deck that runs Nyarlathotep and Avatars. Nyarlathotep and Phineas Taylor both want to succeed at stories, so Malloy is superior to Black Dog at doing this because he actually has skill of his own. And Baron Samedi wants to win a combat struggle against multiple opposing characters, so Malloy is vastly superior to Black Dog at doing this because Black Dog can't ambush multiple characters. Plus, Malloy will then survive the Molotov cocktail that Samedi sets off, allowing him to stick around for later fights.
Nyarlathotep, Phineas, and Samedi all benefit from surprises, enabling them to trigger their abilities when the opponent thought he had stopped them. If you're running a deck like this, I recommend the Big Palooka.
