Yopla, At first, I played this deck to rush my 500 credits as quick as possible. Hoping for a good starting hand or a quick loss... Then I've been surprised by how strong it is against some ofthe strongest decks in the meta. The lack of solutions make it a bit weak during mid to end game, but it can win way before that or steal the game with Incognito. 5 Political Patronage 5 Selling Dreams 5 Brothers in Arms 3 Incognito 5 Magnetic Personality 4 Bearer of Mixed things 5 Belligerent Ottoman Militia 5 Persistent Panhandler // A Call to action (at preference) 5 City Official 4 Silvestro Sabbatini 4 Shahkulu *Playbook* Spam your hand, attack smartly, win the game. Don'twaste your Magnetic Personality if you won't win very fast, and steal the win with Incognito and them. *Variations* - Papal Influence - Mentor's Wake - Knowledge has a Price Hope you'll like it!!

City Official is the guy of this deck.

I have a somewhat similar deck I first used when revelations came out. Haven't played it much lately, but may go back. I use and man of the people and not brothers in arms. Caha together with militant intimidation is good. Surprise +2/2 (more with shakulu). Your deck is simpler, but that may be more effective.
I took out the draw cards. Do they work well here when playing rush?

I lost alot to early wraths, when revelation came out, since brontos falshflood was very popular. Now that the meta has shifted a bit, its a better contender. Fast decks have a good time.
Militia slows u down, because u have to pay 3 and dont have that excellent ressource boost in deck.

Yesterday, three losses. Today, one. I crushed Metakana's Piri+Counters decks, Alteam's Budget Site Rush and M. Ali counter decks. And before I gotsimilar results but I don't remember. ^^
So far, so good.

Cool. I think you are right about the meta change. Wrath of the righteous killed me too when I played it a lot a while ago.
Military intimidation also work as a counter sneaker when deploying shakulu or Caha. But you may be right that it slows you down. Upside is that you can play it, launch agents and then deploy Caha to get the power boost before they finish campaigning.

I don't have good ressources boosters. I already have issues playing 5-cost cards... I won't add more costly cardsto the deck. The idea is to rush, I don't even want a mid game where a Caha would shine.

For this deck to shine you really need PP in your opening hand. I played it a couple of times and lost most matches. I played one epic one against a very similar deck and lost due to my opponent playing "The Plan" on his City Official...
But it's great there seems to be some hope for agent based decks after all.

The starting hand is everything. PP is almost a most first turn.
I modified my deck with some suggestions here. Took out man of the people, some caha (but still have 3) and military intimidation and put in some cheap agents and the + 1 to militants guy. And bearer og mixed tidings - Improve the deck. However cahin (cost 3 gives you a bonus 1/1 militant when deployed) is really good in this deck with city officials and shahkulu. I would recommend him. Caha is still good mid/late game and since it can be tutored I recommend some as well.

I have played a few decks that are similar to these (Don't have the cards to make my own though)
And Byzantine Church is key to counter this in Site decks... so long as you have some Basilica di san pietro to keep putting down on each other

Well, It has worked for me against this type of deck... Agents with 0 Power can't do very much, can they.
