Hi to all.
Another DECEPTIVE deck inspired by AI! Try this and please suggest to me how I can enhance it...
Win condition: 5x Sofia's Home 5x Cappadocia Underground City 5x Pontifical High Mass 5x Seeking Sanctuary
Income and Draw: 5x Basilica San Pietro 5x Sofia's Office 5x Kadir 5x Field Study
Utilities: 5x Scientific Espionage 5x Lassitude
STRATEGY: Play Kadir soon after boost income with sites. After you have a good income play DECEPTIVE sites, If you need to slow the match play Cappadocia for last. Lassitude for enimies and Espionage for protection.

This may be a good deck! How do you deal with Abbazia Di San Mercuriale + Maria combo?

Looks good. What about using the ottoman gunman? He is cheap and gives sites +1 influence as an ability? I haven't tried it yet, but maybe he is better than seeking sanctuary. He can also be sacrificed if you need to block.
And if you can, put 5x holy day in there for anti 11 infinite combos.

Sure, I think Holy Day is the only solution for Maria\Abbazia... but I can't touch zero sites because are key with Kadir and Study. So maybe I must remove Seeking... but I don't need really all this income boost. So maybe I could remove Sofia's Office... but then I must change the title! lol In addition I would to insert Ancient Library... but which cards can I remove?

Good point. Maybe don't bother with the holy day cards. From what bronto wrote in other post, it may not be the best counter anyway. 1-2 venicia would fit better in your deck. Kill the site to stop the combo and you can still use them as sites.
It is a matter of play style, but I like to use quick study to get the cards I need and then have less of the key counters. For instance 2 quick and then 3 lassitude and less (2-3?) of the other counter cards you pack in 5's. This should save some room and make the deck more flexible. It is better to have a quick study and 1 lassitude in hand than 2 lassitudes in hand against a none agent deck. You can then get what you need instead. Also, engineer workshop does sort of the same for sites. Takes longer to pull off, but once it is deployed and activated, opponent can't counter it. A good way of sneaking in key sites against counter heavy decks.

It is however something we will have to take in account from now on...

It's like before... when Pantheon/ROyalIntervention and Cesare/Lanz decks were dominants. Putting a deck in the competitive section that was not able to deal with them was not really... competitive. ^^

Bronto you are right... but we must try to break the dominants! And ...if after I tested the deck with all the single strong campaigns and a lot of multiplayer matchs... where I faced up only 2 times Maria\Abbazia and since the oppo was not really able to play the deck, I won the same... ... what is competitive?? lurifaxb: many thanks for the suggestions!

I think as much as abbazia is WAY OP, others aren't exactly far behind. I wanna see more cards being usable, right now MANY of them are just trash, and sucks for diversity.... I think.

Great! Have you found improvements could we do?

Great! Have you found improvements could we do? none. the synergy level is amazingly good. While I am tempted to add "into the light" just so that crucial sofia's home/Underground city gets launched, it's probably too gimmicky.
