I like the card a lot. The name made me think the flavor would be more like faceless assassin striking in the crowd without anyone noticing at first (ie. assassin's creed)

"unruly mob, stirred into a frenzy" sounds more like a {r} thing.

by Mal:

Yeah, the card is specifically in reference to how Tiberius Gracchus (half of the inspiration for the named characters in the flavor text) died - basically he and his supporters got whipped into a frenzy when confronted by the Senate and a bunch of their supporters, and somewhere along the way, Tiberius got shanked. It can definitely go either {r} or {b} depending on if you think the whole event was orchestrated to stab him in the first place, but since {b} {w} is about Roman class struggles I picked black. Could stand to reword that flavor text.
