[Order/Scholar] Burning Pandemic

[Altaem]

This started as a simple fun deck. While its not the most powerful deck in existence it's a high achiever by being unexpected.

Basic concept is a non Faith burn deck.
Most cards here are individually rather weak, but there's some fun synergies going on.
Takes some experience to play well, there's a lot of tactical decisions to make.

Cards by rough play order:
5 x Sofia's office
5 x lighthouse
5 x weapons cache
5 x militia camp
5 x sharing secrets
5 x field study
5 x Suleiman
5 x secret door
5 x impending pandemic
5 x Janissary Justice

Play hints:
Get down Sofia's office ASAP. Throw what you can at them. Counter what you can. Play Pandemic and do it all over again. play Janissary Justice only to finish.

Secret door can be used on IP or JJ. Even FS if you can spare them.

I've won many games playing a secret door in advance while waiting for JJ to turn up.

Interesting deck. I have been trying to build a burn deck a few times with no succes. I hadn't thought of lighthouse/militia camp comboing with impending pandemic. Have you tried On the attack in the deck? That was the card that got me thinking about decks like this, but time and again I found it wanting.. 3 points is simply too little.
Also, a green deck without Piri? Is that even possible??

Is sharing secrets necessary for the deck? I have always found it to not quite pull its weight.

I dislike the one the scores as defender, because if enemy scores then those are critical points u need to scor

I had On the Attack originally but replaced it with Pandemic. It was a massive improvement.
Lighthouse as defender can be annoying but can be combined with sharing secrets for maximum effect. Plus it's saved my ass a few times.

Suleiman + Pandemic is one of the most evil combinations in the game.

You kidding? A nine point play for 1 cost! Its one of the best cards in the game. Let your opponent get 3-4 points in a couple of regions then play SS + Pandemic and watch them cry.

Double weapons cache + sharing secrets is one of my all time favorite openings.

Can't manage to have a single win with this deck ! It lacks of drawing power/cantrips, and... it's slow !
