What are Group Cards and How Do They Work?
Group Support Cards are a type of support card introduced in Part 4 of the 1st Anniversary Celebration, debuting with the Team Sirius Support Card acquired through completing Main Story Act 1 Finale Part 1.
Group Support Cards function similarly to 
Pal Support Cards, where clicking on the card during a training unlocks the ability to recreate using a series of special recreations with the featured character. With Group Support Cards, each of the featured characters receives 1 recreation event plus 1-2 special recreations locked until all character recreations are used. This means you can choose which recreation to use depending on which fits your current needs within a career. Completing the final special recreation will reward the gold skill of the card.
Group Support Cards also provide a special status effect called "Pure Passion." When this status is active, the Support Card can trigger Friendship Training on any Training facility they appear on and provides immunity from Sleep Deprived and Slacker. There are multiple ways to activate the Pure Passion Status Effect:
- Unlocking the ability to recreate with the Card (Guaranteed)
- Completing the final recreation (Guaranteed)
- Clicking on the Card during a training if you currently don't have the status (Chance)
The Pure Passion Status Effect does not last forever. You can expect the status effect to last roughly 3 turns after obtaining it. For example, if you obtained the status after completing Junior Late Sep turn, you can expect the status to last Early Oct, Late Oct and Early Nov.
INFO
With the 2nd Anniversary Balance Patch in JP, Cygames has adjusted how Pure Passion is obtained and its duration. Obtaining the status via training is much more reliable and the status can be expected to last longer than 3 turns.
The Throne's Assemblage
The Throne's Assemblage is a Group Support Card offering a consistent 2 Skill Point Bonus across all levels, Friendship Bonus scaling from 25% to 35%, and Speed Bonus unlocking at Lv35. Race Bonus reaches 10% at Lv50, supported by 5% Training Effectiveness. This means that the card provides a consistently high output in both stats and skill points, making it a consideration in your deck for the remaining Trackblazer CMs. It is not recommended to use this card below full Limit Break. Due to this and its relatively short lifespan for making CM aces, most players will be looking to borrow this card.As with all Support Cards, it is not possible to use them when training the Umas represented in the card. In the case of Group cards, you can not use it with any of the Umas represented on the card. For Throne, this means you cannot use the card when training with Symboli Rudolf or Tokai Teio. It is also not possible to use Throne with Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi, though she does not come out for a few more scenarios as of the time of writing.
The card's Gold Skill, 
Photon Slash, is the Gold version of Medium Corners, providing Target Speed on a random corner on a Medium distance race.
INFO
With the news of Cygames moving The Throne's Assemblage Banner earlier, the Global server will be able to use Throne to make aces in CM15 after Day 1.

Nakayama Racecourse ○When to Trigger Pure Passion
Since the Pure Passion status can only be guaranteed when taking the last outing with The Throne's Assemblage, it is best to time this to align with Summer trainings, leaving free turns before the start of Summer. In Classic Year, before Early July, there is a string of G1 races: NHK Mile Cup, Japanese Derby, Yasuda Kinen, and the Takarazuka Kinen. Chaining four races going into Summer risks bad Mood and low Energy.
Therefore, the proposed schedule is to race the Takarazuka Kinen in Classic Year and the Yasuda Kinen in Senior Year, activating Pure Passion in Senior Year Late June to get the full 3 turns of the effect during Senior Year summer trainings.
TIP
The Spring Senior Triple Crown epithet does not actually need to be strictly composed of races in the Senior Year. Hence, we are not losing the epithet by taking the proposed schedule.

Example Decks
The Throne's Assemblage can be used as a flex card in typical Trackblazer decks. The goal remains to reach the desired stats, maintain a high Race Bonus, and acquire needed Gold Skills.
