Well i guess its time to kinda reveal my deck since its winning permanently 
But instead of posting you the complete cardlist with numbers etc ill just show my combos and which cards i mainly use. i guess everyone who is able to play that deck effectivly is able to get resource boosters etc for themselves ^^
Foreword:
The deck is aiming at a BIG card advantage with combos which doesnt cost any card (and some even might give cards)
Its rather slow and i would call it a "comeback deck" since its very common that the enemy gets 10 influence on one of the 3 places.
so ill start with the basic cards
GOLD:
-animus reboot
-tactical upheavel (listed here because of its great utility but is also used as a resource booster in my deck)
-venecia san polo district
-historical glitch
-monteriggioni
-condotierro tactics
BLACK:
-discret call
-against all odds
-antonio
-mario
-giovanni
-assassins guild
-secret catacombs
-ezio assassin
-change of plans
GREEN:
-daring experiment
-quick study
-pick your poison
-gaspar de la croix
-malfatto
-deep analysis
-scientific espionage
-leonardo
PLAYBOOK:
as you can see there are a lots of diffrent cards in it. personally i dont think having 65 cards or more in your deck makes you a noob and that deck is a prove for that. it always depends on your strategy and how many cards you can get to synergise with each other. this cardlist above has great synergies and ill try to list a few very important combos.
----------
the main combo-card of this deck is "malfatto":
malfatto+mario = no agents
malfatto+giovanni = no sites
malfatto+ezio = heavy power on field + nothing for the enemy (but since most decks prefer either agents or sites its basically better to choose one of the 2 above mentioned combos since its much cheaper and hence possible to pull pf earlier)
in this deck its very easy to set up that combo with "quick study" and discret call"
----------
Gaspar de la Croix:
(combos with him are devasting! )
Against heavy site spammer players u might wanna try this:
Secret catacombs + Gaspar means a sure win if you protect that combo ( for example protect gaspar with malfatto )
For the guys who never saw this:
You steal the enemys site and the enemys site is replacing secret catacombs which means Gaspar makes secret catacombs go back to your hand. So you get the enemys site for the cost of nothing.
Assassins guild + Gaspar
well its a nobrainer. just spam for example 2 assassins guilds always onto each other and kill all your opponents while getting more and more influence
well and basically you are able to combo every site in that deck. it will always give you a huge card advantage if you pull one of those combos off.
----------
well and i said there are soooo many combos available... hmmm those up there are the main ones in the deck but wait that were just like 5 combos. okay i lied you also need your enemys deck ;P. Pick your poison is such a great card here. and ill explain why.
lets assume you play against discard. WTF DISCARD THE PERFECT COUNTER TO THIS DECK... not :
if you manage to survive early on with some cards (and yet i always did since every single card in this deck gives cardadvantage) you basically only have to get a pick your poison and steal their mystical stranger. COOOOOMBO
Malfatto + Mystical Stranger = discard loop
( last time i played against discard i had 2 malfatto and 2 mystical strangers on nmy side )
the only really unsurviveable thing is a doomsday followed by a discard loop... just beware of that and keep some counters ready.
okay dealt with red. what about blue with all their counters? well either its bigabuse or its intended by the devs...
your black agents with abilities triggered after resolving cant be countered so its not hard to prevail against a ceasare deck. pantheon/ri... well safe your counters and maybe steal one of theirs. ( btw i now think its intended that black agents are uncounterable since blue would be truly OP then so in my opinion its okay to use this deck
)
umm against green its booring. just ignore and build up your combos since you can achieve an infinitly cardadvantage there. (but dont play out the combos you dont need because of boardwipes - just counter all your enemys cards and slowly get the advantage)
purple might be hard since it tend to be fast. try to get boardwipes and boost your income with everything youve got id say
personally i havent faced a real good purple deck yet so ill update the passage here. with pick your poison you should get the boardwipes like "wanted posters" of the enemy (or counters if he plays blue or green adittionaly)
black wont be hard to face since alot of your cards counter your own deck perfectly . just destroy all agents with combos and recscue yours from those killing actions they tend to play with malfatto.
Gold. wow thats the hardest class guys... just kidding. always providing you with control cards. you love gold.
maybe you noticed i divided the decks into basic main colors rather than into strategies... well thats mainly because of pick your poison so i could tell you what to pick and how to use it. playing against a certain strategy is common sense and i wont talk about it here in particular ( or lets say more than i already did
)
Have fun tweaking it and i hope you saw something new. i guess i will update this post and consider your inputs. maybe it gets more complete deckguide in the future. yet it doesnt feel right to post my exact deck since you should also be creative and i am still tweaking alot.
have fun
