Most Feared Memories

[TemplarTyler]

I have noticed that there are some cards that opponents just seem to think 'GET RID OF IT... GET RID OF IT NOW' I was just wondering what others you guys not using Order and Scholar decks see opponents panic to get rid of

Carlo Grimaldi - For obvious reasons of his +2/+2 per scoring, and his Offical... so it helps to be able to deploy two of these at a time

Lanz - Starts of weak, but like Grimaldi; with his +1/+1 panics people, and again like Grimaldi only limited agents can go against him

Dante Moro - I was actually surprised to see people panic against him, there has even been times my opponent has took him out instead of Grimaldi

Cesare - From my own experiences this is the most feared 5/5 agent, If I was to play say Cesare at the same time as any of the other Borgia clan or Ezio or Leo, Cesare always seems to be priority

Borgia Tower - the +1/+1 panics people with this one, despite other Sites such as Art Gallery being a bigger pain.

Templar Knight (Verulo Gallo!) Again I was a bit surprised by this one, he is rather weak, but its the +2/+2 boost he gives out.

Wrath of the Righteous - A litte peeve of mine, its actaully not to often I see it... but when I do, I fear it with my agent heavy decks.

Any large site, ex. san gimignano/Forli, forgotten temple, doomsday, basilica novella Santa Maria, and Carnivale scare opponents.

I hate seeing Silvio. If you can't counter him before he resolves he is just such a pain to deal with.

#1 most feared memory for me is Scientific Espionage. You HAVE to play around it sometimes. In the Green/Blue mirror, you cannot run out In-Depth Analysis unless you have counter backup in-hand in case your opponent snags it.

The next scariest thing is a Political Patronage to start the game.

Pick Your Poison always freaks me out a little.

Can't believe I forgot this one. I have actually conceded to PYP on more than one occasion if a win isn't worth giving up my decklist (some decks I care, some the list was pretty obvious anyway.)

Edit:

I'm concluding that opening with Political Patronage -> Pick Your Poison to steal my Scientific Espionage is about the surest way to freak me out.

My most feared memory was when my dad beat me with a hose for stealing money to play games at the arcade for a whole day. They couldn't find me for a whole day cos I lost track of time. I was 7.

You beat me to it... one of my favorite opening moves (and my worst fear if done to me).

I forgot to mention... Buried Cathedral is a PITA. I love using it but it's the first thing I want to get rid of if my opponent plays it.

[thest4lker]

Burke cathedral is situational fear. If I'm playing a slow control deck, I hate it. If I'm playing a rush, I laugh.

[Ringel]

Yep. Although once I played my deck where every memory costs exactly 2, my opponent played Pick Your Poison then quit after it resolved.

[Brontobeuf]

Divine Intervention. :]

[Tuism]

Is divine intervention still scary? If you play 11 costs then holy day will make you shit your pants

on my heavy agent deck PYP is a pain in the ass but with my actual deck (cyril of rhodes erase deck) when they use PYP they pick a discard card that makes bigger my cyril so i dont really care
