I'm putting this in competitive because I intended it to be, but it's one of those all or nothing decks despite how I tried to make it consistent (15 self replacing income boosters). When it runs it runs SPECTACULARLY  when it doesn't it crashed and burned also just as spectacularly  4 plentiful crap 4 KHAP 5 Discreet Calling 5 KIP 5 Tactical Upheaval 5 Lanz 5 Corrupt Herald 5 Nico Copernicus 5 Scientific Espionage 3 Change of Plans 5 Collateral Damage Try it out and let me know what you think and I'd there are any suggestions

With this draw power & the 5 Callings, you can gain some free rooms by removing a few agents.

Well the Lanzs are really just a distraction and something to pull with the Discreet. How I win (and how I've won a few times) is literally beat down with my army of little uns after I make sure they have very very little income left.
Like I said, it's a spectacular blast if it goes off (spectacularly painful for my opponent) but not nearly consistent enough.
Bronto the thing is I need the Nicos for draw and Heralds for denial. Would you toss out some Lanzs? And replace with? Leonardos? Maybe, but not really the thing this needs... Ideas?

What's the main reason you lose when it doesn't work?

Opponent has income enough to drop bombs on my parade  Or I get blocked by weeners to death while little sites slowly (or big sites quickly) take over regions.

Like the idea with KHAP and then denying them income. Do you need Tactical Upheaval? Wouldn't you rather replace it with a "better" drawing card. Maybe Scientific Method?
Problem with income denial in the current game is that everybody plays KHAP (why?), PP and/or Forced Charity/Inheritance etc, making it difficult to pull off. Income boosters are a fashion at the moment.

I personally play a lot of income boosts in top decks because I throw my early game for mid game dominance, and if you can do that without sacrificing cards (Forced Charity, Tutors etc) then all the better. Certainly doesn't bode well for Income denial  TU is there for killing blockers which hurt my deck, for income and for draw. I've defended against a couple of femme fatales with them too. Sometimes I dump it on my own agent. I think it's right for this deck as it's vulnerable to Dantes and Amerigos etc.
