I like the look of this with Peter Clover. Whilst you can't make the top card a criminal, you can at least control what you draw to an extent.

And with Naomi O'Bannion in play for recurring tactics? I can see that being a fun deck for sure.

You could also use it after using Peter to try to get the card Peter used back

BanalityBob - 3/5 - Irish Channel is quite playable in character heavy mono-syndicate decks, and it’s a welcome addition, because Syndicate is light on card draw. Drawing from the bottom of the deck means that sometimes it’s more like a tutor too. Not a super excited card, but a really nice support for the archetype it fits into.
Danigral - 4/5 - In a mono-Syndicate deck this will be a staple. Not always a hit, but you can at least pack the deck with Criminals without sacrificing the efficiency of the deck (unlike Treme).
dboeren - 4/5 - Fairly reliable card draw for a mono-Syndicate deck, which isn’t a bad thing nor a bad deck type to run. You can combine it with some bottom-deck manipulation or Tactics too, so yeah, I’d use it.
Kamacausey - 3/5 - The fact that 99.9% of characters in the syndicate faction are criminals makes this location actually playable. I like that it draws from the bottom of the deck too since syndicate already have many ways to put things on the bottom of their deck. Naomi putting immurement on the bottom of the deck and then triggering this location to go get it seems awesome!
mnBroncos - 3/5 - Syndicate doesn’t have the greatest card draw effects so in an aggressive Criminal deck this card is very strong since you’ll draw a card over fifty percent of the time. It isn’t blowing me away and won’t even find room in all criminal decks but is good card.
Reckoner - 3/5 - This is pretty much pure card advantage for mono-Syndicate decks as they are primarily built around criminals. It is also nice, because as a faction, Syndicate is terrible at drawing cards and has had to mostly look at other interactions to get any sort of card advantage. Additionally, Syndicate is also one of the only factions that can interact with the bottom of the deck. Just think of using this with Naomi and a Tactic. You will pretty much be able to use that tactic during every turn.
