I would love to hear feedback from people on here on my deck. I have a lot of fun playing it and pretty good record with it. I know it could use some adjustment but not really sure what tweaks to make. It has lot of discard in it, but I really just put it together to do a lot of things so I wouldn't be screwed against any one style of deck. And play with some cards I like. This kind of started from a different thread and I’ll post the same thing I said there. I don’t care about sharing because you can't really keep strategy or deck build secrets for long in a game like this anyway. If someone else can get a new idea from it that would be great I would love to see it.
Plentiful Crop – 2 Knowledge has a Price – 5 Daring Experiment – 1 Divine Intervention – 1 Tactical Upheaval – 3 Answered Prayers – 3 Sudden Exhaustion – 4 Pagan – 3 Pick Your Poison – 2 Quick Study – 1 Venezia San Polo District – 2 Mob Justice – 2 Ritual Sacrifice – 2 Pious Warden – 1 Bartolomeo D’Alviano – 3 Let He Who is Without Sin – 3 Ancestral Discovery – 2 Condottiero Tactics – 3 Doomsday – 3 Silvio Barbarigo – 4 Impending Pandemic - 1 Rorigo Borgia, Pope – 1 Leonardo Davinci – 2
Total - 55

Is this worth a subboard? A "Help make my deck work" board?

Isn't the decks page already doing that? Not competitive, not fun, budget then. Or even just in decks thread without subboarding.

My apologies if I put this in the wrong place. Should I have posted this somewhere else?

The deck list looks very chaotic to me.
I don't see a strategy in it. It's just a pack of good cards with no link to bound them. You need to determine a few things to improve it:
- how do I want to win? - what can I remove that doesn't work with this strategy? - what are my strongest cards in this plan? (and increase their quantities) - against what do I lose?

Read the how to build a better deck by playing thread in the academy board And list with numbers first, it's easier to read Like: 2 Plentiful craps 3 Ezios 4 Blah blahs, etc

(and increase their quantities) - against what do I lose? Brontobeuf - believe it or not the chaos is kind of intentional, mostly because of your last question “against what do I lose?” I am really shooting for a deck that is extremely flexible in winning. When I played site decks and found too many people wiping all the sites off the board. Same thing when I was playing with agent decks. And from my old school days with MTG I have a special hatred for counter spell decks. I found with this deck I can usually discard some ones hand and beat them down with my creatures or even their own, with the Ancestral Discoveries, Pick Your Poison, or Ritual Sacrifice, or even just steal their counter spells till I can pull my agents out. And if I can’t do that right away I have enough other cards to hold the opponent off. A lot of times I can get the combo out to pull off a first day Doomsday. Which I admit I think is evil and most of the time when that happens, it just results in the opponent quitting. I don’t blame anyone for that. Also combining the different cards together in late game creates some interesting strategies, like Impending Pandemic and Doomsday which even with one IP card in the deck is very easy to get with all the draws. I know it can be next to impossible to build a Jack Of All Trades deck and this isn’t a normal strategy. It will probably always need tweaking. So far I have really only found that some site rush decks can be hard to play against with that. It is fun to play though but I figure with experts like you and everyone else on here you would have some great suggestions. Sorry for the long rant, I just figured I would try to clarify as best I could.

wanna play iron? i wanna see it Will you be on tomorrow afternoon? I was bored all day and after spending most of the day in the market donating to some forum members I may have had one too many to play that deck intelligently against an experienced player. Add me on the game center. I would love to play a couple times to see what you think. And if I loose badly enough it may give me more ideas to change it or just scrap the idea completely.

ironcladtrashI just checked your cardlist and I have to agree with Bronto that is seems a bit unfocussed. However, it might actually work in the current environment. Only suggestion I have then, is to put in some tutor cards to find more easily what you need. Family Heirloom and Quick Study should work well. Also if you don't need additional income boosts you could try Scientific Search. Good luck with fine tuning and thanks for posting
