Luri's Battle of the lamoids 2

Todays title: Harassing a player of prostitutes


It may be the situation with ACR seemly having a bleak future that is coursing me to start messing with the players who play what I think are lame decks.

I used to be such a nice guy. Now I give people back of their own lame medicine. Sorry if you are on the receiving end. I do have mission. Stopping people using lame and boring decks.

Anyways, today's harassment is of a courtesan player. I made this deck for these guys. Fast losing faith and then win with cyril or discarding deck (novela catacombs win)

So I get off a fast losing faith. Remove femme fatale. You would think he quit right? No. He sits there draws cards and tries to figure out what to do. I've seen his hand. He has courtesans and one secret catacombs - oh and a sudden exhaustion. I have Cyril (8/8) out but don't attack. So the waiting game begins. He has the courtesan that kills after blocking and the other whore who brings them back from the archive.

After a while I decide to play 2 sites (forgot the name) where opponent lose 4 cards a turn and novela catacombs (win if opponent has no cards in deck).
Mind you this is about 6-8 minutes into the waiting game.


So having waited for a while and though that I had been enough the poor guy who just wants to win by using a lame ass deck (and haven't been introduced to solitaire yet), I want to finish it.
I'm just about to launch a last discard site when the freaking app crashed!

Lol. The lamoid hunters gets owned by the poor programmed app. Ubis revenge over my bitching about the game. So here I am. Feeling like the clown who got his own pie in the face. At least it was worth to think about what this courtesan player was thinking about doing. "Oh no my femme fatale is gone. I know I'll just sit and wait for... Something"

To be fair, it probably depends on the Courtesan deck player as to what they do after all Femme Fatales disappear.

Ryan A Parker has a Courtesan deck that, while it may not win after Femme Fatale is gone, certainly is capable of preventing you from winning and working towards a stalemate. (And honestly, he does have a couple other win cards beyond Femme Fatale).

Most other courtesan decks that I've seen are pretty much screwed without Femme Fatale, though.

When someone takes all my Femme Fatale's with a Losing Faith I also put down my iPad (and make sure it is on power), pick up my other iPad and play another game.

Guess who can wait the longest amount of time?

[lurifaxb]

Well this guys was playing. And if he had put down the iPad he would have lost.

How do you get a stalemate if you stop playing? Your opponent should just win.

I still think that courtesans are lame in its purest form. The most effective version is mass courtesans with mass draw and surprise FF. does one thing and does it well. That, and makes for boring games. (Tu, I dislike these decks but acknowledge their efficiency).

Edited for clarity.

Actually, I think kudos to FF player who loses all his FF hahaha Unless they're playing a Borgia Tower variant or something he's just er, bored. Or WAY to honorable

Your last sentence doesn't make sense to me? Do you like courtesans or think they're the best?

My FF deck is pretty much what you called there - yeah it's pretty deadly and lame

[lurifaxb]

Edited the above for clarity.

I dislike them. And think they are effective.

If only Tactical Upheaval was still a surprise... that card on its own killed a Femme Fatale deck.

It did, yes.

However, as I've said before, even if it were still surprise it wouldn't be as useful against Femme Fatale decks thanks to Militia Intimidation and Secret Door. It would still be helpful, sure, but not the killer that it was.

(edit: fixed a typo)

[Rob (Roebidoebi)]

Just make sure you play TU when your opponent has (almost) 6 Courtesans on the table and plays either MI, SD or FF... yes a bit more possibilities, and any good player can take advantage of it.

I just like the diversity. And I'm pretty happy Femme Fatale is an option again. It's a high-risk high-award kind of deck. Just like the deceptive rushes are. If your opponent can stop you, you're dead otherwise it's a pretty easy win.

I really didn't like all the control decks just before the 2.16 nerfs where everybody was just building income and spammed the field with Assassin Strongholds.
