Thanks for kicking my ass today That is the best start I've ever seen. 2 political and the sci-espionage against my divine intervention only to throw it back in my face and then picking all my poison for my best cards. Yeah, that was brutal. Great deck mate. I guess it can have trouble against low value rush decks like lanz and Borgia tower rush decks?

Thanks, I had a few good ones last night. I wasn't entirely sure dropping the PP to SCI ESP just for a divine intervention was necessarily the right move, but it worked out If you like the deck, it's mana's swiper no swiping deck (but it's not a cheapie). It doesn't do badly against rush decks, as long as you get at least one or two PYP fairly early. You just find something to block their rush agents/sites, or a counter or two, until the brutal card advantage kicks in. It's not unusual to win with more than 10 cards in hand with that deck.

Cool. Against the deck I use for rush I beef up 0 powers with sites and abilities. If you take those agent they won't be too good without support cards.

It also has 5 TU for just such decks. If we met again, play the rush, it can beat the swiper no swiping with the right draw. But it doesn't loose to rush deck the way a lot of control decks do, because the PYP creates the ability to stall, and it only has to do that until the Leo chain starts, and then it is over...

Ok, cool. Let's try it A good start draw for the rush would include a Political Patronage and a buff site to make Tactical Upheaval useless. But it requires a good draw.

Damnit, what a rubbish, rubbish draw. In my first 20 cards I hit one leo, zero in depth, and 1 KIP. I was sitting with 23 income, 3 PP's, a copycat and a SCI ESP...
Ok, rant over. I like your deck. Nice play with the TU on the 3/5 agent I blocked with my Leo.

Yeah. GG. I was expecting more Leo's. Really nice start move. I thought I was done when you got out to damas and blocked my horse merchant before he could hit the Borgia towers. I could have made him a 5/1 if you didn't kill him with the TU. nice move.
Sure let's rematch.

Mine are 3 and 5, and are now in bed. I'm going offline (pc) soon, and won't be in forums for long. Are you able to play now?

GG. I actually thought you had me, it's a very good rush deck. If I had made one mistake I think you would have taken it, I had to play it very carefully
