who had the better luck!?
3 Rossa on turn 1??!!
That was the best deck that I have. A Blue/Red counter discard. IMO, my best deck. It runs a bit slow; but i like it. I am a 'late-game' player.
The star of the show is the Blue official Counterspell built-in guy. There, I've said it. So all, please put 3/4/5 of him in your deck.
If there is a tourney; I'll play with this deck. When the tourney is over; I will post that deck. Heh heh. Keeping it under wraps for now.

Was just a big deathtrap running My deck didn't even depend on the Dama Rossas being alive I'm not sure if the deck's even fit for regular play, but it seems to have been doing pretty well. Funny enough, that And I don't have all the cards I'd like for it, too. Will post deck as I tweak it a bit more

Well luckily my enemy played a strange green/blue deck with dante/cesare RI, and probably pantheon, that makes it a bit easier

Raph your deck was GREAT. The fact that it was just about built to oppose my Cesare Salad deck (really not solid enough ) card for card meant with a bad draw (3 Cesares and not much else) I could only stare as you took my cards and beat me with it Faux Pas were brilliant You know I have a recording of all our games, even if we only finished one out of 3 Might put it up to show how NOT to do it haha

It's almost done. After our games, I feel that Animus is weak vs Blue. I am just generalising here. Dante foils Animus really bad. (ie. Dante + Lanz or Cesare) I had 2 Epic matches with Diomediae with the same deck. He won 1 and I won 1. There seems to be a bug. His purple green is really very good. Lastly, While I feel that political P is a great card (I only have 3 and I need 5), not drawing it in opening hand can mean a loss or win. In such conditions, I do not like it that much. I know Bronto and others have 5 of it and have come up with great uses for it. Unfortunately, I can't try it. Only have 3. I like my blue/red now. It plays a lot like Blue/White in MtG. Outlast, rather than Death race. The Winner cards in Outlast: RI, Ance. Mem, Pre-empt strike, Recycle via AM.

Ancestral Memory... you mean Ancestral Recall? I think you left a bit of Magic at the door there, son (Unless you're playing in some other language) Yeah Dante is reboot king. 0 cost doesn't hurt either. I think I remember playing his purple green, but I'm not sure if I remember if my purple blue outlasted his purple green. My thoughts on Patronage too... It's great, if you open with it. It's a Black Lotus. I have 2 only so I can't say either. Outlasting depends on surviving the first onslaught... Lanz of Dante hurts a lot, but is generally counterable via Faux Pas or Untimely. But still the potential is there. Pure thief is scary too. So fast and consistent. I'm trying very hard to drive a in-between deck that can rush but can also control. Purple/blue and purple/red.

Diomedia's purple green:
PP, turn 1 Nico (!!!), Lots of copy (Clothes/Copycat) + Espionage+ Quick Poison.
It remind of of those decks whereby "the stronger my opponent is, the stronger I become"
Aka, like Hulk. (Marvel) (Perfect name - Green/Purple)
I swear in game 1 with him, We had, like 10 red arrows criss-crossing the entire screen.
Me doing discard/counter, him doing copy and espionage, then me countering his espionaged spell.

Id love to try his deck, diomedia care to share? BTW I feel Dante is highly overrated. its -1 hand card in a deck without draw You have blue to counter, u should be able to counter the destruction. the Noble search card makes him a bit better, and with borgia Tower, he is very good, but just to protect a lone finisher...

I think Dante is good. Esp in mirror. I was lucky to have Dante when I played Tuism. Our Cesare clashed and mine was SAFE. That makes a HUGE difference and led directly to my win.
Dante is good in terms of pure card advantage. 1 card = 3 'shields'. Plus he can be used as a blocker.
Good card.
With Lanz, the combo is nearly pure evil.

I played endemic yesterday, and he lost the game because he has cards like Pliffer Supplies and Dante in his deck. All cards that I dont ahve to counter *if i play blue/green* make my life so much easier. You allrdy have gold boosters that are no threat. You want to keep pushing hard cards out against blue, so he is forced to counter them. And when you have no green and at a certain point you rely on cards of topdeck, drawing another dante can seal the game for you.
