I recently discovered that if you use Romani Pickpocket's ability to score while Damat Ali Pasha is on the board she gets +1 +1. It's kind of fun to beef her up that way but almost too slow to build a deck around.
It got me thinking if anyone knows of any other interesting combos that you don't see get played?

Selim/Ezio Noble is great.
Exit Stage Right/Call to Action/Bienvenuto/Pope Borgia/Auxilary Ego/Calling all Stand-ins makes an interesting deck base.
Maria Auditore/Odai chains are interesting.
Behind Closed Doors/Kadir
Boosting Palazzo,
Capella Sistina/Underground Cappadocia.
Heathen Follower/Thieves Guild.

I like Paola with defender and deceptive. Score two in both other regions for two gold...

I've got a sistina/underground deck, but it's pretty difficult to get up and running, simply because your combo cards cost a good bit and they take a few turns before they're effective. It's always fun to lock up two regions with Capella and then replace the underground with another site for the win. My favorite "combo" deck is my Piri/Monteriggioni/Carnivale/Man of the People deck. It takes a lot to set up, but when it goes off, it's a lot of fun.

I have used Cappadocia, Underground City with Ancient Library before but I have never used Cappella Sistina. How does Sistina work? Do you have to have 10 in the region before opponent can’t score or just a higher score then the opponent? I like Paola with defender and deceptive. Score two in both other regions for two gold... I have given her deceptive before but not defender. Does that really make her score instead of reducing opponents score? Selim/Ezio Noble looks like an awesome deck idea. I saw another combo the other day I though was original. Someone used Ill-intentioned Gift with Cristina Vespucci. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone use either of those cards. Using Ill-intentioned Gift that way could set up all kinds of possibilities. |

Uncloned's incredible rush deck showed me how to do that.
Hmm. Basilica Fiore + Incite Revolt + Scholar.
The Militant Tutor can also tutor the drunk assassin site killer.
I'm currently experimenting with Templar Sanctum and Firenze (San Giovanni) to give my Templar agents boosts and change any opposing Templar agents to assassins.

I have a deck I constructed around that combo, Iron - I called it Ali's Pickpockets (because Damat's Pickpockets was too many characters). Given that I only have one Forced Charity, it's not the strongest of decks, but it is fun. Boosting agents without risking them in an attack is nice.  |

Joek I recently made a Pietro Rossi deck that I combine with Sofia’s Office and Topkapi Palace. It works pretty well since a lot of the deck is totally stolen from your Stand-ins Deck because I liked it so much. I don’t think it works better than yours just a different spin. Kackman post it please. I want to see it. I have been trying to find a deck for it but so far all I have is Thief/Counter deck with it. |

I have given her deceptive before but not defender. Does that really make her score instead of reducing opponents score? Yes she does! I build a deck around her having defender, it's fun but not fast enough! |

Technically, it shouldn't work. I think the reason "it works" is the same reason why With Great Power is currently bugged when used with deceptive sites. Remember that WGP should allow sites to score as Defender sites but it doesn't work as it should right now. |

My first deck that I made with it was missing a lot of stuff that I didn't have at the time and have recently added. I haven't had much time to test it out, but when I have gotten a feel for it and (hopefully) decided that it doesn't fail on all fronts, I'll post it. |

Not a card combo per se, but interesting discovery: If I've activated Forgotten Temple and my opponent plays a surprise Secret Catacombs (moving FT to his side), the FT induction still finishes and we still switch decks. It wasn't enough to save me in that game, but was neat anyway. Oh, watch out for KillingSoftly - he has a ridiculously fast deck that uses Forced Charity, Militia Intimidation, and PP to generate income, plus the media card that copies actions and makes them cost zero. Then he gets an Ezio Mentor out and uses Auxiliary Ego to copy him as needed. Plus, he has Secret Catacombs. |

kackman73, it's not nice to post other's deck without permission, plus the 2nd game you left at the beginning when you met me, you were afraid! |

That's a great opening hand - I will edit my Crime / Media decks to use this combo. Thanks, kack! And thanks to you as well, KillingSoftly! |
