Unlike a majority of events, the requirements of the objectives in Family Business (FB) feature no elements of the associated set. The permanent support on the lower node features AllianceAlliance from the SNC set.

Since Family Business, like A Timeless Voyage (ATV), can be fully completed with cards from any set, it could, like ATV, remain Standard even when cards from its associated set have rotated into Legacy.

FB has the same number of nodes, recharge time, points allocation and duration as many events, but it is unusual in having only a single charge at the start, making its maximum points 20 points less, at 120 points.

On both nodes, the phrase, "This effect can trigger only once per turn", applies to the whole effect, not just the last part. Neither drawing a card when a creature is buffed, nor creating a Citizen on AllianceAlliance, will trigger more than once per turn.

Buffing a creature is extremely broadly construed. It is not limited to one's own creatures, nor are debuffs excluded. Even lockdown like Sigarda's Imprisonment triggers the card draw.

Story

"For years, the five families ruled New Capenna in uneasy peace, and the city prospered.
Behind every event that occurs in New Capenna, the families are always sketching their secret businesses.
In this event, join the Obscura to wield the plane's secrets or the Cabaretti to celebrate the brotherhood you'll build."
