Here's my version of The Prestige in the current environment.
INCOME/DRAW:
4x - Political Patronage
5x - Knowledge is Power
5x - The Discovery (you can also use this as fodder for Lab Research if you don't have 11s)
4x - Lab Research
THREAT NULLIFIERS:
4x - Tactless Theatrics
4x - Role Reversal
CORE:
5x - A Call to Action
3x - Exit Stage Right
3x - Leo Da Vinci
4x - Auxiliary Ego
4x - Copycat
11s:
2x - Incite Revolt
3x - Mentor's Return
PLAYBOOK:
You can either play an ESR combo or just keep drawing and building income so you can play Leo. Copy Leo as often as you can - hold back a few Leos just in case there's a board wipe. Keep applying pressure by attacking with your Leos. Use Tactless for key early game weenies or Role Reversal for sites (if vs. Site-based decks, wait for opponent to stack sites before using RR). Play Incite Revolt if your deck is almost gone - you can get some key cards from your opponent with Incite and the draw power you have will almost surely allow you to draw these cards.
WEAKNESSES:
1) Harbor of Theodossius / Nobles - I used to have Hippodrome for Site-based decks but decided to use Role Reversal instead, I figured for the most part that most site-based decks will overwhelm you with their influence rather than their ability.
2) Multiple Silvios - If it's just one or two Silvios, I think you can still overwhelm them with your Leos but more than that you'll struggle unless you make copies of Silvio as well.
Edit the deck to your heart's content.
