Hey, After a lot of changes, losses & tweaks, here is the new Nicodeck. I'm not that sure it should stay in competitive as it may not be strong enough against Abbazia and Assassin Stronghold. But as nobody likes to play that apparently, the Nicodeck is doing great with his explosive opennings. 5x Political Patronage 5x Selling Dreams 5x Knowledge has a Price 5x The Discovery 5x Niccolo Machiavelli 5x Piri Reis 3x Ezio Auditore da Firenze 5x Odai Dunkas 2x Ercole Massimo 5x Magnetic Personality 2x Scientific Espionnage 3x Assassin Library *Playbook* Without the Art Gallery to give you easy wins in mid/end game, you really have to get a strong starting hand. the mulligan is key here, as you want a PP or if you don't have PP, a KHAP. Once it's done, the deck plays by himself. You just have to be smart in the regions you choose to win with. Hope you will like it. It's really fun to make the credits with it.

No anti site? I have problems with nico deck against site decks. Especially dominant and defender sites are evil.

Knowledge is power, could be reduced. It depends how u feel ure income buildup is in your version. I use 5 den 5 discovery and 5 PP, wich is enough for my deck.
Dunno how ure versiion plays out.

Change KIP for a hard ride. I use this card a lot. It has +2 income and stops sites for a day. All you really need with a rush deck. Can also be used just for the income if you meet agent decks.
An overlooked card IMHO.

why just 2 odai dunqas ? the best start by far is pp into nico into him. Its sooooooooooooooo much better than the mentors retunr... ( i play 5x2 in favor of odai). Also with 5 odai, 5 the discovery is a must...

Well bronto's version favors card advantage over the off chance of getting an uncomboable odai, I think, and has better long term power than my Nicocide version with 5 discovery and 5 odais. I think it's a matter of preference. I do love the discovery > pp > nico > odai > another odai start i occasionally get though

Mine is a bit different but runs fine as well. I run only 3 ezio to not block my odaj. The deck is alot of fun, but its tier 1.5 and u rly need a good starting hand. Id never run it in a tourney, but for some automtch game its quit cool.
Im playing around a bit with the 11 cost cards. I rly like them.

That's exactly what it is!!
And right now, this version is doing it's job correctly (also playing Thieves and Millitants to rush the credits with fun). I didn't pack 5 Odai because I choose to stick with Ezio and they don't really combo together. For a version more Odai orientated, I'd play something closer to Tuism's version.
I shall try some of the ideas proposed here. Thank you all. This deck is not 100% competitive (he doesn't have good matchups) but it's still a good one that will be very fun to play with. :]
