[Black/Blue] Official Business

[Threshold]

This is my first newbie deck worth posting. Basically, I was browsing the cards I had a lot of and decided to make a deck for Officials... This is what I ended up with (it has lots of holes, but what do you expect for a newbie):

Agents 25
5 Aqquebusier
5 Donato Mancini
5 Carlo Grimaldi
1 Marco Barbarigo
4 Francesco De'Pazzi
3 Il Carnefice
2 Emilio Barbarigo


Sites 5
1 Borgia Tower
2 Castel Saint'Angelo
1 Militia Barracks
1 Secret Catacombs

Actions 20
1 Royal Intervention
5 Militia Training
4 Forced Inheritance
1 Preemptive Strike
1 Royal Decree
3 Forced Charity
3 Nimble Thrust
1 Change of Plans
1 Target Practice



Feedback is certainly appreciated. As I said, there are plenty of holes -- so try to be constructive.

You look a little light on income. Your agents typically don't provide any income and although you do have a few income cards (inheritance) I see this deck developing slowly when this style works best as a rush. Have you considered Order of the King or other income cards?

Maestro, thanks for your feedback.

By Order of the King is a good call -- it will help me get the officials I need (as most of them are nobles).

For income, I had the 4 forced inheritance and the 3 forced charity. Do you think more is needed?

I am half tempted to get more Borgia Towers and get rid of the other sites with them -- but they're close to 100 credits each -- debating if I'd rather get them or a full booster pack!

Those are both great income cards but it's not many of them. There's a decent chance you only get one during the first few days of a game. Additionally, they both cost 2 gold which does slow down your ability to play agents. I like those cards when a deck has good control, they are a little tougher to play when tempo matters. Plentiful crop gets a lot of static, but would probably help you.

When I play 15 cards that are first day ressource boosters, I find I'm a bit light. You have 7.

Thanks for the feedback, Bronto
