Maria Auditore

[dabooo]

Maria Auditore
1/2 Scholar Agent
Cost : 3
Assassin Rare

ABILITY: SURPRISE : Pay 2W : discard an Agent: Search your Sequence for an Agent. Put it in your Hand. Randomize.


Picked 3 of her on my last 3 assasin's pack. /suicide.

Anyway, can you imagine any good use / combos / decks build around her ?

Only good thing i can see, is that the ability is a surprise. It can combo with Cesare Borgia. Or to quick summon some threat-removal agents like Ezio Auditore (and i currently don't have any Cesare nor ezio...)

To feed Maria, i thought about Heathen Follower (red) or some courtesan.

But i can't see how it can replace Quick Study efficiently.
Is Surprise vs Action (+1/2 agent) good enough ?

Can it only combo with powerfull (and expensive) cards ?




(and please excuse my english )

She can be a part of a crime/scholar toolbox based on agents. The problem is that in Scholar/Crime there are just tooooo many strong cards that you want to play instead. :/
Feel free to experiment her and to share you conclusions. :]

Thought about this one lots, I can only imagine a kind of cycling with abbazia Santa Miricule that brings back agents from the archive but it's not very efficient. I guess it can kiiiinda but very inefficiently counter discard by activating just before discard effect hits - but only if you have one card in hand.

Not generally useful but it would be interesting to see if it can be at least half as useful as the previously thought to be less useful malfetto

Cards like this in Magic are always very good. But Magic has ways to bring creatures/agents back from the discard directly into play. Maybe something like that will appear in the next expansion and Maria Auditore will suddenly be worth something.

We do here too, ancestral discovery is awesome, but doesn't need Maria to shine. Benvueto is average and holy calling is only a-ok. Faith has no trouble zombifying archived cards

But yeah Maria will hopefully get better with the expansion, such a promising girl, just too inefficient

Edit: oh you meant directly into play. Yeah that's gonna make a kinda exit stage right type combo let's see about a recollection Raise Dead
