Updated : I should have updated this a long time ago, I still use it but it's evolved somewhat from what's posted below. It's far from the original concept now so I'm going to move it. While its not the first sequence I choose when facing an unknown opponent, i may pick it the next time I face them.
this sequence WILL destroy most combo or slow building decks out there, it's main weaknesses are against counter. against site rushes , you just have to steal their top sites and use your role reversal wisely, agent rushes are a good matchup often resulting in enjoyable games. Mirror matches are insane
I lost the Ezio's a long time ago, with stealing and copying, your missing out on a lot of your opponents cards if you can only play assassin memories. Also exit stage right went a long time ago too.
I put in Caterina Sforza instead, I like her, many don't. calling all stand ins remains, even after the balance change, it's mighty useful late game in an agent fight, and it has it's uses earlier on if you need .
The main core is the same, some cards can be suited in and out as you see fit, I currently have role reversal in there.

Ok this deck isn't finished yet but the core is the same I'm just trying different cards in it at the moment. Credit for the name goes to RaphMajere

See if you can notice the main flaw.
The Core ...
3 x Ezio Firenze out for Calling all stand ins, too many Templar issues
4 x Nico
5 of each of these would be best but I don't have them, however I can copy them with Copycat.
3 x Dama Rossa
5 x Political Patronage
4 x Copycat
5 x Scientific Espionage
5 x Pick your Poison
5 x Clothes make the man
2 x Daring Experiment
Others ...
Tactical Upheavel, Exit Stage Right, Leonardo Da Vinci, Role Reversal, Sudden Exhaustion.
The general idea is to get Enzo and Nico on the board quick to protectyou from a discard deck, this is what political patronage is in for, a perfect start would be 2 x PP, 2 x Dama, 2 x Ezio, by day 2 you will have 2 Ezio's on the board. Then Exit Stage Right on your Dama Rossa to bring the rest in.
When the opponent plays his first card I have a rough idea what he could have in his deck. I play Pick your Poison and go find his win condition or his fatties. Now I'm copying pick your poison if I have a Clothes make the man in my hand.
I played a Carnivale deck and literally stole all his carnivales, and man of the people Before he could get one one the board and used them to win.
The principle of everything else , copy, steal, copy again , steal, throw back!
Tactical Upheavel mainly for Dante or Courtesans. If i get one in my starting hand im happy. Once Ezio is in play you can't use it, however at that point it's discard fodder for Nico.
That's as far as I have got with it, im going to keep trying different cards with it any suggestions would be welcome.
It's a fun deck to play, I think a mirror match would be interesting. Pick your Poison, can be a problem due to the bug. Sometimes I don't get the card I steal, sometimes it crashes in the Carosel. Also Nico can disappear sometimes when you discard a memory.
