Description
A nomadic magician, using her "gypsy" wiles to gain a bit of power here, a touch of influence there, and a scapegoat to cement her control...
The town is quiet, and Déla is ready to make her move. Vladimir thinks he was smart to donate funds to the Bishop’s food kitchen. But she knows that the Bishop will be very eager to know why a certain young lady is missing. Déla has her ways to spread the truth to the right ears - she’s had to counter enough smears on her own good name. After all, one has to stay in business. Every businesswoman knows that to stay alive you need a small dash of mystique and misdirection. This afternoon Déla will be the talk of the tea party that a certain influential and wealthy heiress is hosting. The Heiress just needed a nudge in the right direction. Then she’d rid the town of that over dressed pasty fop for good.
Déla is one of the most complicated decks. She has the greatest variety of cards, which gives her wonderful flexibility, but one glaring weak point: she doesn't have as many cards of many types as other decks, so it's harder for her to overcome determined opposition. However, she has Conceal cards, which allows her to lay other cards face-down to her Reserve; a Gypsy Curse, which causes an opponent to lose Trust based on a minion's Influence; and Deny cards, which can be played out of turn to cancel an opponent's play. Déla is a tough, wily opponent.
