Zero Agent Rush

[matavious]

I was having fun building different decks to beat the L'aquila challenge where sites have zero influence and agents have zero power. I wanted to make a deck consisting of only agents with zero power.

I started with a battle tested noble/media rush deck by Bronto, and swapped out the agents with non zero power. The result was a lot of fun to play.

5 Political Patronage
5 Dama Rossa

5 Teodor Viscardi
5 Dante Moro
3 Rare Art Merchant
5 Zealous Banker

2 Family Heirloom

5 Tactical Upheaval
5 Magnetic Personality
5 Man of the People
5 Borgia Tower

As 38 of the 50 card types provide income, it's little trouble to get to the 9 for MotP. The most fun is the Zealous Banker and Tactical Upheaval. These two cards paired with:
Borgia Tower = 7/1 agent
Dante Moro = 6/6 agent

Yes it's 3 card combo, but with two options for the third card I was playing one or the other most games. If I had more Family heirlooms I would try swapping out the remaining Rare Art Merchant to make drawing the two yellow combo cards more consistent.

And outside PP, the cards are inexpensive. Good time all around.

I like this type of deck. They are fun. I recently posted my own version. Earlier versions had the zealot banker, but I ended up taking him out for a faster start. The 6/6 is nice though, but I prefer to get a horse merchant out faster. A banker won't come out first turn, which is where you need to deploy most and save up for the Borgia tower or the fierce booster cards.

But good deck. When it works, it is brutal.
