[Order/Media] Ahmet's Castel

[rl]

Its been a while since I've had the time to sit down and build a deck, so here's what I came up with! It's more of a concept as of now but like most decks has the potential to be competitive.

50 CARDS

INCOME

5x Political Patronage
5x Order of the King
5x Forced inheritance

CORE

5x Castel Sant'Angelo
4x Ahmet
2x Selim
4x Charles de la Motte
4x Donato Mancini
4x Suleiman
1x Manuel Palaiologos

DRAW/EXTRA

5x Masyaf
3x Bearer of Mixed Tidings
3x Man of the People

Game plan is to get down Ahmet and/or Castel, followed by Selim then spam agents and Masyaf. If you have Castel in one region and Masyaf in another then attack the Masyaf region and let Castel score by itself. Don't have time to explain more than that I just thought it would be cool to use Masyaf (haven't seen much of it out there) mainly and I felt like sant Angelo Ahmet fit well with it.

Let me know your thoughts and improvements as usual

Funny thing.
I was playing Carnevale+Castel, Nobles+Castel, Ahmet+Noblestoday after my 500c. ^^

I like your variation btw. 5 Masyaf with not that many Agent-solutions may be a bit too risky for me.

I kind of agree. I had agent solutions in this deck before but I ended up just ditching them for speed and more agents. I don't mind too much if I give the opponent free draw if I can win fast enough and it's more advantageous for me because I'm getting more agents in my HQ to score

Cool. The draw power may make this really strong. I played a version with media. Used malfatto to bounce back nobels. Also used gaspar and Suleiman. If I got the combo going it was instant win. But it was so hard to pull off

Had to have:
Suleiman
Gaspar
Ahmad
3 random agents (one free or cheap)
Cheap nobel on hand

Then you could play a teodore on a teodore over and over again at surprise speed

It wasn't competitive though...

Had tedeor in there also at first but I realized that I don't want to drop nobles early for income I want nobles that will Score for Castel and Ahmet and pose more of a threat later and just use actions for income early
