Want to build a carnevale Deck

[The Rancord]

After some games, I feel that carneval/bearer/man of ppl is pretty cool. So far im testing a bit, but im not sure so fast.

Core:
4 Carnevale
3 Bearer of Mixed tidings
3 Men of the ppl

Support:
5 Militia Intidiation
4 Family Heilroom
1 Slave Trade
1 Monterrigone

I added 5 Political Patronage, and then went to red because a losing faith start can give me the imbaness I want.

I added 5 source of all life/yerteban 3 Funeral Pyre/4 Holy Day and 2 Wrath.

Now the thing works pretty good atm, but my board answers are dull, im not sure if i need many. The sites that I rly care about can be countered by yerteban. Assassin gets removed by loosing faith.

Now I need some help in finding a tighter buildup, but I think I should stay at either red or blue to deal with some of the annoying things in the meta. Anyone has some ideas?

And bronto no chicken out, I want to hear ure opinion

Lol, I was rotfl at this.

After many games allrdy, im pretty satisfied with the results, but the gold cards are useless here, cept militia. Im thinking about some discard in the deck, to further pick the decks apart and a 3rd wrath.

I tried an order variant, but that wins with sulejman before i can play the first carnevall (how stupid is that)

[Brontobeuf]

Maybe you can go heavy discard and tryto rush Carnevale/MOTP?
Another option is to play Scholar instead of Faith and to play Pirito protect your Carnevale.

[jeremyat]

If you add scholar you can also play secret door, which makes one of your two combos cards uncounterable. You can also run quick study to get your combo cards in hand.

[The Rancord]

Quick study is a bad card though. I dont see much benefit in schoolar cept piri.

[jeremyat]

It's not a bad card if you're playing a combo deck. And the additional combo of Piri and monteriggioni can be ridiculous.

[The Rancord]

without the propper answers in the deck, I cant setup such a control. The deck is more blowout, to let the enemy play, slow him down by removing some important pieces, with losing faith or yerteban, and then insta win with carneval/motp with bearer as a backup optionl.

(I want to at this point comment on how combo strategies have been forced to become counter decks because A) Now they can and B) There's very little alternative. But I won't )

I made some last adjusment, the deck works wonderful, I think about posting the final variant in COmpetitive section.

Its intresting how stable the deck is with various starting hands against all the evil/mean decks out there. (Oh yeah removed sulejman fromd eck yesterday, and he had 2 in hand and topdecked another useless by order of the kings then.

I can vouch for that! It's a very stable/strong deck in it's latest incarnation!

... Can't you keep it a secret a bit longer ;-)

If your still building a carnevale deck try adding few shahkulu. If u play carnevale while shahkulu is in play they all get a big boost up to 7/7

Do they all get that? Or is it just the last one that comes in your HQ?

[Altaem]

The carnival guys hit the hq one at a time, so the first one ends up the strongest and the last one only 2/2 as usual.
