Some deck with loads of pay 1 can use this quite a bit.
Might be too double edged and difficult to use in practice though, definitely needs testing.
If you want to use the blank domains more efficient, playHard Case (Core)!
5 or 6 domains at all and you can exhaust almost everything with him - incl. AOs!
Combined with the new Lodge Lady Elisabetta Magro (TiV) ... a lot of fun!
A pleasure.
Perhaps you also might like Blackball Jim (TAD) to protect you against any bad surprises that might come over you after story resolving by an undrained domain...
(but this idea is rather advanced pimping
[Also an alternative / or addition to Aliki Zoni Uperetria (SoK)]
and all other pay 1 cards. Syndicae skill reduction etc. best search for "pay 1" in text with "fulltext search" disabled
Hmm Shulb-Syndicate Skill reduction with Ya-te-veo (TUP)
I'm using Before the Fast in my mono-Syndicate skill manipulation deck. It can obviously fund a lot of Street Tough and Lena Di Boerio antics. Cascio Di Boerio is also money when combined with Before the Fast.
What I think is a sneaky-good complement to this strategy is Reallocate, which is an obvious facilitator of "pay 1" abilities. Where Reallocate really shines though is all the free resources it will distribute upon the domains you won with Before the Fast, which gives you domains but doesn't come with resources. Throw in Cathouse for all the 2-resource domains you'll suddenly have, and you have a very formidable set-up that isn't really that hard to pull off. It's obviously not your standard Syndicate rush deck. It's more of a Syndicate control approach.
