Yep. One try per deck. Pure pot luck as to initial hand and strength of opponent. ( I test each deck against the AI first to learn how to use it)

Alright then. I'm working on a version better suited against site decks. Trying it offline here in the train. Seems like the modifications are for the better. I'll upload it when I get the chance to test vs real people.

Feel free to revise an existing entry and resubmit it. We don't want to spam the forum with near identical decks. ( Although changing just 10 of 50 cards can sometimes completely change how a deck behaves )

Hmmm. The mods don't make it much better. I tried it, but lose too much. It isn't competitive. I'll scrap it and try something else. I just don't see where pontifical high mass is useful (especially in low cost decks). Someone prove me wrong!

If I succeed do I get to win my own cards?

Yes. But you have to buy them for 1 gold a piece. Like all the rest.

Today's entry was Jemy000's 5k Lia De Russo deck. Matched up rather unfairly against reyes1010's draw / discard / find solutions deck
Opening hand looked promising with loads of cash and 3 lia de russoes.
Got off to a strong start sending agents into campaign and discarding my opponents key cards. Unfortunately it was not to last.
My discard powers could not compete with their insane draw potential. Things took a turn for disaster when they used Pick your poision to kill off 2 lias with my own cards.
Before long their agents were stronger than mine. We were left looking at each other from the Hqs. They chose not to play, I couldn't because I'd die to no gain.
They could afford to wait. With 7 cards idle in hand they trapped me in a discard lock while their sites shredded my deck at 8 cards per day.
Once my deck was empty they played reboot, most likely for laughs. From here it took them only another 8 days to secure victory.

Today's winner is Ravagerr's Pontifical High Mass deck. Opening hand contained a whopping 3 PHM. Only one site but I figured it'd draw more. The opponent was running a typical Noble Official rush. I couldn't do anything about the agents. Fortunately they had no anti sites either.
By game end I had played 4 PHM and my per day influence was 8/10/10.
Ravagerr, you need to add 5 1 credit offers for PHM to the market.

Looks like all entries have been tested. Need to see some new decks before I can give away any more cards.
So far no one has come close to winning the Caesare.
Hints for building a deck I'll love: Work with a simple clear concept. Couple the hero card with something unusual. Rush. Rush. Rush. Rush. I prefer <5k decks, but don't be afraid to add 10-15 high end cards if it improves the fun and /or performance. PP is my all time favorite card. I hate dedicated discard or counter decks. Often fold against them, refuse to build my own. For a long time I refused to even place a single discard card in any of my decks. The carousel interface is crap, only use it if you have to. Prefer to not use Quick study, Don't even own Pick Your Poison. I generally prefer agents to sites. Maybe I've just never used a really good site deck? Alternative win conditions are fun. Use a Merchants Guild or Leo Workshop to maximize your chances. Rush.
Best of luck with the theory crafting. I know it's a challenge to design a good deck when you don't have the cards to test it.

Holy &^%$%^ that plays weird. Thought I was loosing to the AI before my power started cascading. I'll enter it tomorrow. You have 8 hrs to fine tune it.

Just one problem. Judgement Day is not the Hero Card. In 3 test games I've not played it once. Despite having 4 in my hand at one point!

5 PHM sent to Ravager88. Hope that was the right player.
