This is my deck for grinding my daily 500 very, very fast. It might not win a tournament, but it has a phenomenal win rate against the meta and does well against forum membes
Income/deck thin:
5 plentiful crap
5 dama rosa
5 PP
4 heathen follower
Actions:
5 clothes makes the man
5 papal influence
Sites:
4 San gimignano
5 lair of Romulus
5 ospedale degli innocenti
3 forli (all I have, would swop in more for roman church)
4 roman church
Play book:
This deck is very simple to play. Idealy you drop San gimignano before the timer hits the right side on the first day. This could be either from PP, or from 2 zero cost +2 at the start, with no income spent.
You have to play your sites just before the timer moves right to left, so that each site scores. Don't worry if your sites draw Venezia or mob justice, if you timed it correctly they will still score, and you only need each site to score once, and then you just drop another when the timer gets to the right of the screen.
The only time you play a site before the timer gets to the right is if you have the chance to drop two sites on one region in the same day. Always note how much gold you have when the timer hits the right, so you can make sure you have enough gold come the end of the next day.
Let me know how it goes

Nice idea. I played this deck a few times, and won exactly 1 game with it. :-D Got owned by an even faster Big sites rush deck (he played Pilfer Supplies as well in his version), a few media/crime thieves decks and 2 basic media/order rush decks and then I decided it's not such a fast way to get my money  With a bad starting hand there is no way you can win, because you get outrun by almost everything else out there at the moment. It happened more often than I would normally have with decks. Maybe it needs to be balanced more, income wise... |

It has absolutely no draw power. Just 4 Followers to thin the deck. You are luck dependant to win, and you will certainly draw ressources boosters all game long because of this. :/
It can be explosive of course, but still, not a competitive deck for me. That's the problem of most media/faith decks btw.

Won 8 out of 10 against the meta, the losses were against a discard/counter deck who recycled his pre-emptive, and a ESR/Il Carnefice deck. The ESR/Carnefice deck I deliberatly played a hand with way to many income boosters, to see what would happen, and I still would have won had I drawn any other site besides San gimignano on day 3. All 8 wins were completed before the end of day 3... If you have a deck that grinds the daily 500 faster, please share  |

I also run this kinda supersite rushers. In Faith Media and Faith Scholar. Principally it's the same, I just spam sites. Mine has a steadier curve including Il Colloseo but the results are pretty much the same. I don't think one is better than the other.

20 early only income cards, and all over is big cost. I don't like such strategy. Also you don't need a lot of big sites, 5x SG and lair of romulus enough to win.

I run a similar deck with order/media and without San Gimignano (I don't like having my scores reset in the middle of the game). I use order only for income and counters and counter only those memories that threaten my sites. It works like a charm to get 500 credits fast. But than again, the same is true for my Grinder-deck. Order/Faith combination of discard, counter and deck destruction (buried cathedral). Usually my opponent quits when he/she finds out what the deck is about |

Any deck with counter memories and big sites/agents runs well at the moment I notice. My deck for grinding 500$ is The Borgias and a young farmer (elsewhere listed on this forum). I also have a version where the agents are replaced by big sites and By Order of the King by Family Heirloom... Works the same, and has no difficulties winning at all... It feels a bit Overpowered playing this type of decks.

I've beaten several other mill decks but don't think or played against yours. |

Uncloned: this deck gets me no wins Bronto: this deck has no consistency Tuism: this deck is ok, like any other site spam deck Roebidoebi:my similar deck pawns others and grinds credits super fast Blind angel: I dont like the strategy I love the consensus this forum generates |

Let me refine my comment: Tuism: This deck is like any other site spam deck, but it works like a bitch, unless it doesn't. Like most PP strategies  |
