[Media/Order-RV] Cowboy Time

Ive had good success with this deck, it's an updated version of an old deck. The basic idea is to boost your income as quickly as possible.

Agents

4 Caterina Sforza
4 Selim
1 Sueliman
4 Lorenzo
1 Manuel (Palaiologos)

Sites

4 Forum of the Ox

Actions

Income

5 Political Patronage
3 Forced Inheritance
3 Slave Trade

Other

5 Order of the King
5 Militia Intimidation
3 Bearer of Mixed Tidings
4 Clothes Make the Man
5 Premptive Strike


Playbook : Ok , firstly you need to get Selim down fast, so it's best to have him in your starting hand. Once he is on the table then all your agents are uncounterable.

Caterina Sforza played after Selim has resolved , her ability gains suprise, so she is great for removing other Selims, Piri Reis , Antonio of Rhodes etc. Antonio will also still get his bonus when the opp erases cards too, so it will really piss off an eraser deck. Stealing the opps Piri Reis can also force an auto quit.

Copy your Slave trade, order of the king and militia intimidation and bearer of mixed tidings , BMT?

Once you reach 10 income, it's time for Forum of the Ox ( try to time it with a militia intimidation then it's uncounterable) then Lorenzo (pref after 20 income @ 10/10 but before if needed) Once you reach 10 income, you can just pump everything else out.

Manuel is their for a reset if you hit your stride late, he resets opp score to 0 and is a 5/5 dominant official.

Let me know what you think

This deck seems to have an answer to a few types of decks... But what do you do against site-based decks?

Same question, and don't forget we are in a site-heavy meta.

This is true, I still find I face mostly agent decks though. Against site decks they tend to be close run affairs, forum of the Ox has defender so it stalls them, I use the counters on site boosting memories. Having Lorenzo at 10/10 helps too. Plus the reset from Manuel and his dominant. I guess you can't have an answer to every deck so it still has its flaws.

And one of your assassins stronghold decks would ruin my day Bronto!
