Les deux cartes Blessed Alliance et Savage Alliance, ainsi que les trois cartes Collective Effort, Collective Brutality et Collective Defiance, de l'édition Eldritch Moon, forment respectivement une paire et un cycle appelés "- Alliance" et "Collective -".
Les trois cartes parmi elles illustrées par Johann Bodin ont une composition similaire.
S'il ne manquait pas la carte noire pour compléter la paire, toutes ces cartes pourraient former un triple cycle vertical (cartes d'une même couleur mais avec une rareté différente) avec les trois cartes communes du cycle appelé "Borrowed -" de la même édition (voir cette anecdote).
La carte Collective Resistance parue ensuite fait référence au cycle appelé "Collective -".

[...] The team explored whether they could use the actual champion mechanic, but the problem was they were changing how it worked. [...] So, they made the choice to write it out and make the callback through the title of the cards, all of which included the word "Champion." ")
