[Crime/Media] : stealing is good

[obdy]

Hi, I'm trying something here I want to improve, but I don't know in what direction... I'm presently lacking of La Volpe (only have two) but I guess I could do without. Oh, and I only have one Forced Charity... so I do without them.
Yet, I feel it is already quite competitive as it is. Just unstable for the moment.

INCOME/DRAW
4 plentiful crop
5 political patronage
4 Disrceet calling
3 Honnest worker

AGENTS
5 Lanz
3 Catherina Sforza
2 La Volpe (wish I had 4)
2 Treacherous Cutthroats (that or something else... Rosa Is nice two, but has no threat, Ugo is alright two)

SITES
4 Secret catacombs (should I put 5 ?..........)

ACTIONS
4 Clothes make the man
5 Magnetic personality
4 Change of plans
5 Auxiliary ego

total : 50 memories

There are three major cases :
- you start with PP and Lanz or discreet call : you rush Lanz out, copy it, play another one, copy it, put a La Volpe, copy it, etc.
- you don't have that and you're facing a agent deck : steal them with Catherina and Change of plans, copy them, etc.
- you're facing a site based deck and you don't start with a rushing Lanz : pray to draw quickly some Secret catacombs

Clothes make the man are there as a swiss knife : you can copy your own Change of Plans (but that's the only action you'll copy) or copy your opponent's discards, draws, etc. Copycat would be better, but it costs more and I only have one presently. I put it in the deck for the stealing spirit, but I'm not convinced that some tactical upheaval wouldn't be better.

Any suggestion ?

5 secret catacombs at first glance.. maybe find a way to fit in some forced charity? beast income card i like it in almost any thief deck. I like copycat but you need lots of income to make it run nicely.

also why not throw in dama rosa instead of plentiful crop. I almost always prefer that option.

+1 on Dama.. you have more space for agents (6) vs. actions (2) and your deck looks like you'll need the actions spaces from mid-game onwards. And you can always replace Dama mid-game when you find yourself with more than 6 agents.

Antonio Magianis would help against sites. He's a thief for extra synergy.

I would prefer cento occhi footpad for income instead of honest workers. They are +2 income and thieves. Works better with the lanzes
