Ran into this concept while playing my Revenge of the Weenies deck. It was an epic battle with multiple Carnevales cancelling each other out. Eventually my Weenies prevailed but for days it could have gone either way. This is my take on Round Tangent's concept. Core Concept: 5 x Caha 5 x Carnevale 5 x Exit Stage Right 5 x Man of the People 5 x Clothes Make the Man Income: 5 x Plentiful Crop 5 x Knowledge has a Price / Merchant Ship 5 x Knowledge is Power 5 x A Call to Action Education: 5 x Quick Study How to Play: Get rich. Play Carnevale. Send one guy. Play Exit Stage Right on him BEFORE he gets blocked. Send everyone else. Use Man of the People and go again. Notes: This is a pure combo deck. Use Quick study to get the cards you need. Only use Knowledge has a price to cover the last 2-3 income so you can play Carnevale.

I don't understand the point of exist stage right, to get caha? So you already have a full hq from carnivale, why are you looking for 2 1/1s?
I'm missing something @@

I'm missing something @@ I was thinking the exact same thing... I don't get this concept. If you've played Carnevale, all slots in your HQ are filled already right? So then you trade a 2/2 agent for a 1/1?

Caha (not Cahin!) gives all militants +2/+2! It's a great combo with ESR and Carnevale!

To be honest I don't think you can buy this deck in the Market for less than 5k... too many rares that go for > 500 $

Lol yes I did indeed miss something This "combo" is a "get lots of gold" combo instead of "a clever way to win" combo, haha

Looks like I was wrong, those Scholar uncommons are pricey.

Played this exact deck a while ago. Too vulnerable to counters... Scientific Espionage on Carnevale is a game breaker. :/

Just make sure you play Carnevale at 12 income so you can immediately copy it with clothes make the man before it gets countered... Still it is vulnerable to counters and discard.

So I need 2 cards, 12 and 10 ressources in a row to be beaten by Sci Espionnage anyway? :]

Not really... You need a 10 resource and a 2 resource (not 12) memory to have it countered by Sci Esp anyway... It's one of these things that is nice when you manage to pull it off, but I wouldn't play it in a tournament.

Pretty sure none of my decks are suitable for tornaments, given they're build to earn credits fast, not for maximum win percentage.
