Would this be a good competitive sequence?

[halfling86]

Whut up fellow AC lovers,

I'm using this sequence for a while now and I pretty much cleared
the whole Story Mode with it and I've been winning some competitive matches with this sequence too, but I got feeling I'm missing something and I was hoping if you guy's (and girls^.^) could give me your opinion on this sequence....

My "Live by the Creed" Sequence (56 Memories):

- Romani Pickpocket x2
- Dama Rossa x2
- Romani Camp x3
- Hidden Refuge x3
- Discreet Calling x4
- Coy Courtesan x3
- Ruthless Robbers x4

- Turkish Assassin x4
- Forced Charity x1
- Fiora Cavazza x2
- Ugo x2

- Damat Ali Pasha x4
- Lanz x1
- Vicious Sneak Attack x1
- Cento Occhi Footpad x2

- Underground Maze x1
- La Volpe x2
- No Rest for the Wicked x1
- Antonio de Magianis x3

- Altair, Assassin x2
- Mark Target x1
- Assassin Den x2
- Lia de Russo x2
- Assassin Stronghold x1
- Ezio Auditore, Assassin x1
- Master Assassin x2

This sequence is meant to be a semi-rush/fast income sequence,
that's why it contains 6 memories more than adviced but most
1 cost memories are for income boosting...

I'm curious about your thoughts on this sequence, thanx!!

Waaay too fragmented, IMO. You want consistency. I advise you to buy more Dama/Lanz/FC/PP and lay off the courtesans and deceptive a bit in exchange for adding Magnetic Personality (use on Lanz/Antonio to score through enemies), Bearer of Mixed Tidings (draw), and/or Sofia Sartor, Clothes Make The Man, Copycat, Auxilary Ego, and/or Art Gallery for Agent Rush.

Not sure what the glitch is with AS. Wasn't this fixed already with the current version?

And you need to bring it back down to 50...

Like Joek said, this deck is way too fragmented. Now I understand you want this to be a semi-rush deck and I think you don't have all the cards yet so I'll try my best to edit this deck with cards that are not too expensive in case you want to give it a try.

Also one thing I noted in your deck is that you used Media but only have 2x Dama Rossas so I'm not sure if Media would be your best secondary set here. But in my edit below, I still used Media just to be consistent with what you wanted.

I haven't tested the deck but based on eyeballing it, it should do fairly well. 50% of the deck is income, Agents should be aplenty and if you have an opening hand that includes Bearer of Mixed Tidings, you should be fine, I think. Try to build income early on (shouldn't be a problem with Dama, Merchant Ship, and Occhi all providing +2). You can probably survive against Deceptive Rush with the Beguiling Courtesans there but you may want to change it back to Coy Courtesan if you feel you need more income.

The core cards are Damat, Lanz, and Underground Maze. Try to get one of each down (preferably Maze first), then let your Thieves do the rest. You will be susceptible to mass destruction cards (Animus Reboot, Wrath of the Righteous) but hopefully you'd be faster than your opponent.

Agents / Income:
- Dama Rossa x2 x5 [not very expensive if you need to buy more]
- Beguiling Courtesan x5 [change back to Coy Courtesan if you feel you still lack income]

Sites / Income:
- Hidden Refuge x3 x5 [As an alternative, you can replace with Slave Trade - gold card]

Draw:
- Bearer of Mixed Tidings x5
- Forced Charity x1 [Add more if you have, otherwise very expensive]

Core Cards:
- Damat Ali Pasha x4

Discarded:
- Romani Pickpocket x2

- Ruthless Robbers x4
- Turkish Assassin x4
- Fiora Cavazza x2
- Ugo x2 [favor Cento Occhi]

- Mark Target x1 [taken out because most agents have Threat]
- Assassin Den x2

Oke thanx, those are some good pointers!
I forgot to mention it was also supposed to be a 99% Crime Sequence [Dama Rosa was put in cuz of 0cost/2Income] but none the less I got to work and tried to put up a new sequence with the suggestions I got from you guy's, at least as far as I got the cards to do it with

I took the list of Coolkendude and came up with 31 cards so I had to fill in the other 19 cards, I'm out of Animus Credits so I couldn't buy much more in the market but here is what I came up with hehe

Agents/Income:
- Dama Rosa x2
- Beguilding Courtesans x3
- Romani Pickpocket x4 [Income plus good combo with Lanz/Damat]
- Ugo x3
- Cento Ucchi Footpad x5

Blocking Guards:
- Fiora Cavazza x3

Sites/Income:
- Hidden Refuge x5
- Main Piazza x1

Action/Income:
- Vantage Point x1 [needed one card to make 50...]

Draw:
- Forced Charity x1
- Auxiliary Ego x1
- Bearer of Mixed Tidings x1

Core Cards:
- Damat Ali Pasha x5
- Lanz x2
- La Volpe x2
- Antonio de Magianis x3
- Magnetic Personality x1
- Underground Maze x3
- Art Gallery x2
- Assassin Stronghold x2

This is it
Haven't got the chance to try it out yet, planning to do that tommorrow...
Yes!! I've obtained 2 Merchant ships and 1 bearer of mixed tidings over night with my very last Animus credits

Thanx again for the advice!
