[Crime/Scholar] Counter-crusher

[Brontobeuf]

Hello,

This is my main deck. I built it to have something safe that I can rely on when I don't want to lose against X or Y and their copy deck, their discard deck, their rush deck or, of course, their counter deck.

It's undefeated since more than one month now (if I lost a game, I don't remember it ^^). As we don't have anything competitive, I have no reasons to keep it for me only. :]

Sadly, it's not a cheap deck. :/


1x Romani Pickpocket
5x Sofia's Office (and not 4)
5x Discreet Calling
4x Ottoman Gunman (so strong...)
5x Forced Charity
5x Knowledge is Power

5x Piri Reis
2x Giovanni Auditore
1x Mario Auditore
4x Ezio Auditore, Assassin
2x Ezio Auditore, Mentor (not mendatory, but play it anyway)

4x Scientific Espionnage

5x Assassin Stronghold
2x Grand Bazaar (can be Forum of the Ox for a more agressive version)


*Playbook*
The deck plays himself. It has a huge draw power and a lot of useful ressource boosters. You can't have a bad hand. :]

Either you play your sites pretty quickly to get a win,or you play it defensive with your destruction power.


I hope you will like it.

I've always wondered what your main deck was ever since you mentioned in another post that you're using Sofia's Office and Ottoman Gunman in your main deck. Thanks for posting this! I don't have all the cards yet in this deck but this is one deck I'll definitely save up for.

Thanks for sharing, looks as strong as you say it is, I'm also missing cards for it though.

First game first loss lol. Had a piri/espionage/2 giovanni/2 assassin/1 bazar hand. In the end i had to face 3 altair learned with only allies and espionage in hand.

Lots of fun to play (especially with mentor in play). Missing 4 ezio assassins, so subbing additional mario and giovanni. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing! It's definitively more a work of craftmenship than a piece of art but it looks really effective and stable. Will try it, of course!

[Brontobeuf]

Maybe it's formy playstyle. :]

My main deck is almost same as yours.

But I skip ottoman gunman and I use more of Mario and Giovanni for direct removal and threat for card advantage.

But I'm sure yours consistently wins faster.

[matavious]

It's has great tutorable removal for answers to whatever threats are in play and with piri in hq, the removal is guaranteed to go through. Super practical. I prefer Ox over the Bazaar in the match-ups I've had with it so far.

Ottoman is a key card of this deck.

My best deck looks a bit like this. But without the gunmen. Maybe they are the key. Very often though, I don't get Sofia's office starting hand. This is a minus with this deck. Although it will show up with KIP and forced charity, but it may be too late.

I lost to very fast drop of 10 deceptive site and a discard deck that (twice!) just got the better of me with a very good draw on his side and a poor on mine.


Thanks for sharing!

Oh well it doesnt work for me, i get gunmen upheaveled, I get piri countered, and assasins discarded or negated by san polo. And if enemy has schoolar he safly launches piri. I think some smoke signals will be added here. Also make mario and goinvanni a counter card when using them with somke, and i can get my piri down without enemy countering. Kip will have to suffer a bit i think.

[Brontobeuf]

Why not. I think it may be a good variation with smoke signals.

Ha! My version is closer to an ezio deck to this but the core cards remain the same. I also have a faith version of a similar thing. Ottoman is cool but they're seldom the deal closers for me.

I don't understand. :]
