Tyranny is a Condition in Maleficent's Villain deck.

Strategy

The effect of this card can be quite useful, letting you get to your Curses, but the ability for the Condition to trigger is very sensitive to which Villain you're facing as an opponent:

• Captain Hook/Gaston/Madam Mim/Scar: Very likely to have multiple Allies out to defeat Heroes
• Horned King/Pete/Queen of Hearts: Must have at least four Allies out in order to win
• Jafar: Can have Heroes as Allies due to Hypnotize, in addition to his conventional Allies, so more likely to trigger this later in the game
• Dr. Facilier/Mother Gothel/Oogie Boogie/Prince John/Syndrome: Has many Allies in their deck
• Hades/Lotso/Ratigan/Yzma: Has at least four Allies, but usually won't have many in play
• Lady Tremaine: Can have up to three Allies in play, but can refrain from playing all of them
• Cruella De Vil/Ursula: only has two Allies in her Villain deck
• Evil Queen: only has one Ally in her Villain deck

Against Captain Hook, Pete, Queen of Hearts, or Scar, Tyranny is a solid card to hold on to, and will most likely trigger. Jafar, Dr. Facilier, Mother Gothel, Syndrome and Prince John are a bit more hit or miss, but can still often trigger. Never keep Tyranny if you're only playing against Cruella De Vil, Ursula, or Evil Queen.
