[Crime/Media] : slow down

[obdy]

Hi everyone, after adjusting myself to the new set of memories we were granted with, I came up with this. Then I had to wait for the hatenintendo memory list to have them in english to share with you.

It slows the opponent (with very lucky first hand, I saw my opponent hardly get above 2 golds) and is very easy to play. So far, I only lost against the evil San Gimignano/Assassin Library combo (dreadful this one)

5 Political Patronage
5 Forced Charity
5 Dama Rosa
4 Dama Rosa (wish I had five)

5 Vantage Point
5 Corrupt Herald
5 Collateral Damage
4 Brilliant Burglary
5 Brilliant Burglary

5 Assassin Den
4 Ospedale degli Ignocenti
4 Lair of Romulus
3 Romani Camp

3 Clothes Make the Man

Smash the adversay's income and win with your sites, like one 5-influence site replaced by a Deceptive site.

Oh, and the very lucky first hand has 2 PP + Collateral damage. Shoot it right away.

Comments, ideas, questions, suggestions warmly welcome

Why Romani Camp?

Have you thought of getting some CMTM in there? (clothes make the man)

Umm, if u can afford 5 political patronage (18K credits) and 5 forced charity (~7K credits), I think you can splurge for 1 more 200-credit Dama Rossa LOLOL

Agree with finding a way to get a CMTM in there--Collateral damage costs so much gold it would be nice to make another that effectively costs 2.

Thanks for your perspectives, it helps

In disorder :
- Romani Camp was there to have 8 5-influence sites and 8 deceptive sites in the deck. I agree it's useless : there is bo need to rush for deceptive there
- I just bought the Dama Rosa at 130. I hadn't checked since a while, but I remembered her far more expensive (too expensive for what she was, from my point of view)
- I didn't put CMTM for I thought I'd only use it to copy Collateral, so I was afraid I might draw it and then don't know what to do with it. of course I can also copy Forced Charity, but since it costs the same, does it really worth it ? Then there are the opponents potential actions... I'll give it a shot

So, exit the Romani ; welcome fifth Dama Rosa ; 3 KMTM ; Brilliant burglary goes to 4... Let's see that

Good deck. I think it was you who beat me with something similar? Although I though you had golden ezio in there as well. Maybe I'm mixing up games.

The point is that it can work and be a nasty surprise. I honestly didn't think it would work with the new income boosters, but it can.

[obdy]

It wasn't me, I never put Ezios in it. But Brontobeuf had a gold attack pre-reveletion deck posted here with Ezios

The thing is, like every time I post a deck here, surprised how it rocks and I never loose etc etc etc, things start to change... I begin to loose with it. I guess I should be more patient in my testing, or might it be Murphy's rule?

A bit too old but I remember it. ^^

Yah we all love income destruction, but its not something very competitive. Pulling it off feels awesome, but because it doesn't generate real card advantage, if the opponent breaks through you're buggered, automatically.

Vantage point is the only new card I thought useful for income killing. Thought the market site that adds +1 to launch costs was good, but it's poorly supported so mostly useless.

[obdy]

I agree, Tuism, if the opponent gets over it or if your not fast enough because of a bad hand, your nuked. At the end of the day, there are few winning memories. I'm not fully content with it. Still, it works quite well, sometimes amazingly, and against rather high ranked players.

I guess I'm really looking for something well balanced to all opponents, and the only way to achieve this is to prevent him from attacking you, what so ever. That can only go through focusing on counter, discard, stealing memories, income destruction... Or super fast attack, right ? I appears to me that a balanced deck, in the sense of not focusing on one single type of strategy is weaker.

... or more difficult to achieve ?
