[Faith/Media] Cyril Deck Variation

[kackman73]

I realize that the Cyril/Imperial Gardner combo isn't new, but I thought that I'd post my version of it.

I've been using a variation of this deck for a while with varied success, but I recently tweaked it by adding some Magnetic Personalities and have been having great success with it since doing so.

I've been able to overcome site decks, Malfatto removal decks, courtesan decks, decepti-rush decks, and even beat a deck that had 2-3 Ezio Mentors + 2-3 other thieves on the board.

I still lose, of course, but since adding the MagPers memories my success rate is much higher than before.

I think the main strength of my deck is that I'm not reliant solely on the Cyril/Gardener combo, but I do think that an agent removal-focused deck is my biggest problem.

Final note: if the number of a particular card that I'm using seems low, it's probably because I don't own any more copies of it.

Looks good. Looks versatile.

If there is room incognito on buffed Cyril is awesome. Especially with magnetic personality. Can also be used on merchants guild.

Oh my, yes. Wish I'd thought of that. Thank you!

I had a deceptive Merchants Guild deck that was awesome before the income rebalance. I miss that deck.
