Order/Scholar Suleiman's Doctors (50 cards)

[TemplarTyler]

Hey All,

I have seen so many Suleiman decks and have come across a fair few decks that take advantage of the Doctor and Malfatto,
So I got a-wondering... Why has no one combined the two? (I have not come across a deck that has done so)

Agents:
4 Teodor Viscardi
4 Piri Reis
4 Learned Heremticist
4 doctor
4 Malfatto
5 Suleiman

Sites:
3 Engineer's Workroom
4 Borgia Tower
1 Harbor of Theodosius


Actions:
4 Ancient Map
4 Den Defence
4 Mentor's Wake
5 Court Order

Basically as soon as you can get out a Piri, a Malfatto and have a Suleiman or two spare in your hand... Then it really is good luck Opponent, the only thing they can play is sites... and even then you have the other two counters hand... Plus the Heremtist can make a 8+ site back into a 1-4 site... Borgia tower help of course to boost, and also help to keep Piri safe from the -1+ etc health cards. Teo is there for boosting and of course Borgia Tower plus his own ability help bring him up. Harbour is useful to play when you are against anything other agent deck other than noble. (Hence only 1 that I can pull out when ever I wish to using Workroom, as there are loads of Offical and unblockable noble decks)

I saw this deck at its best earlier today, when mid game till the end, I stopped the FF deck pulling out anything and watched as they had to sacrifice their Paula's against my 8+ Teo's to just slow down my victory.

Does seem very slow to start (So rush decks will tear it apart), so I may remove Doctor in favour of some income boosters?

Just wondering how much the update will effect this deck now, hehe

You can probably take out Learned Hermeticist and put in Cesare there. I ran into someone (can't remember the name) who used this combo pretty well. He basically used Cesare as a super-rush finisher because once he scores on a region, he'd use Malfatto to bring him back in his hand then deploy him again to attack (thus taking away the need for rest).

He also had Suleiman in there so the deck is out there - just not widely used (probably because of the anti-love for Suleiman these days).

Ahh, it's a pity I haven't come across that person's deck
I will have to think about buying some Cesare's then As without Borgia Tower there is no match winning power agents

Hehe, I know what you mean about the anti-Suleiman... thats a reason I decided to create a deck for him... so many people annoy me to death with him, hehe... thought I would do it right back at them hehe.

Malfatto can bite me.

That card really needs to be thrown into the OP card discussion. The fact that it can return a card to your hand while the card is resting seems a bit much to me.

(Is it obvious that I've run into too many Malfatto-Suleiman decks lately?)
