La Faux — Sharp Disconnect
“The Scythe is a sharp disconnect — a cable severed, a connection dropped without handshake. It cuts cleanly and suddenly. The blade faces left, meaning the card to its left is in immediate danger. There is no negotiation with the Scythe; it acts and the consequence is immediate.”
Combination Effect
Cuts the adjacent card — the card the blade faces (left) is in danger of being cut off suddenly; adds shock, surgery, or decisive action
