Trying to build a Ox deck. I have tried Faith before, but it lacks of solution against opponents big card. Thus I turned to Crime to get Maria and Stronghold. Need some advice to speed it up.
Income: 5x Romani Pickpocket 5x Den Defense
Drawing: 5x Knowledge is Power 5x Militia Intimidation 5x The Discovery 5x Laboratory Research
Site: 5x Assassin Stronghold 5x Forum of the Ox
11-cost: 5x Maria Thorpe 5x The Mentor’s Return
considering about using Family Heirloom, instead of Militia Intimidation, but Militia Intimidation+ Forum of the Ox can be a hit.

You have an unused synergy in your deck.
The discovery + Romani Pickpocket + Maria Thorpe = potential.
You should play less Pickpocket (only 2 is good), less Maria (3 maybe 2), and add Discreet Callings (x5) to the deck. It would be more stable. Also, but that may be a good or a bad thing, you can add more thieves/mercenaries to help you as a toolbox.

I doesn't really understand that combo. replacing Pickpocket with DC is a good improve, i will probably take 2~3 DC, I think. speaking of tool box, i am considering about secret catacombs to clear path for my sites. maybe also change of plan.

Looks good. I would put in some agent killer thieves or mercenaries. You have discreet calling, but can only grab maria. Ezio assassin or Mario are good ways of getting rid of non-campaigning agents and Piri. If sites are a problem, then there are also agents for that. With Piri down you won't ever hit anything with stronghold (unless you launch it and then block with Maria).
I think you are very vulnerable to holy day. But don't see how you can get around that.

I don't really understand this, Discovery tosses Maria to kill something, while Romani Pickpocket...... scores in the background? What?

Mario is good idea. I will consider about it.Currently, I depend on only Maria to deal with agent. The only way tp deal with Holy Day is quitting with rage, lol

Mario is good as he comes out much earlier at cost 5.
