This is a poorly worded card, then. Because if you control no characters, then all of the characters that you control can be said to have the stark affiliation. In mathematics and logic, a vacuous truth is a conditional or universal statement (a universal statement that can be converted to a conditional statement) that is true because the antecedent cannot be satisfied. The antecedent is not satisfied, therefore the conclusion is vacuously true. — mwolfe 13
