[Faith/Media] Inquisition

[xatria]

Reworked from Buried Alive deck that can't handle sites. Since Media has great site control cards, I thought why not? Credits to Brontobeuf on discard lock & PP and Tuism for Clothes Make the Man

TACTICS

Discard opponent hand while controlling the board with Role Reversals, Wraths & Reboots. After that, lock by discarding opponent draw every day using Citizens and other Discards. It's fine to use Doomsday for this as well.

With initial Political Patronage, launch Ritual Sacrifice get the most options to steal. Once opponent's hand empty, you can only pick from his daily draw.

Use AD to pick winner cards from archive.

To win, use stolen opponent cards (big sites, agents, RI, etc) and Silvios when control is achieved.

Clothes Make the Man can be used to copy discards, Wraths and opponent's actions. Awesome versatility.

PROBLEMS

Need to draw Wraths, Role Reversals and Reboots to survive initial onslaught.

We have very similar decks, you and I Where mine differs is I use Animus Reboot to reset (cos I got 2 and only 1 wrath ) and don't use discard as much as you (Have 3 DIs)

You DEFINITELY need Ancestral Discovery. That card is superpower. Coupled with Clothes Make the Man it's nuts (I actually happened upon that without Bronto's deck's idea )

I don't have patronage so I don't know whether the boost is justifiable. I reckon you don't need the boost but more long-term income cos let's face it - he ain't playing his big boy on day 1. Or 2. Or 3.

I don't run Citizens in my deck, cos it gets boring Maybe I should. I run a much more risky deck... It's what you might compare to running into battle head-first in Modern Warfare - you might get headshot by ambush or you could take down 3 before they realise you're there, die, drop a martyrdom and kill 1 more unsuspecting guy

Good luck hehe

I'd replace some Ritual Sacrifice by a few Ancestral Discoveries. With Clothes make the man, you have an infinite loop that will feed your hand with cards from the shared Archive (and so, help you get a kill from opp's hand too).

You may also add some golden cards that gives solutions against sites and allies to help you wait for the mass solutions. But that would alter the deck composition a little.

...And turn it into yours or my deck

Hahaha

Thanks for the useful feedbacks! I forgot about the AD engine.
I only have 1 AD but I'll put that in for now. I think eventually I want 2-3.

I'll swap few discards out for some more agent and site control as well to make it more reliable.

[Brontobeuf]

Animus Reboot is a strong idea considering your deck list.

[The Rancord]

But you had other good cards, that got me locked on day1 So if u had role reversal I could have probably played a site more than I was able due to ure discard

[xatria]

Oh so it was you!

I added 2 Animus reboot taking out 1 Wrath and 1 Role Reversals. 1 AD for 1 Ritual Sacrifice. Thinking of getting additional agent control cards but haven't decided what.

Played good 10 times and it worked better than before. AD definitely solves deadlock problem. Putting this on hold until AH to get more ADs. :/

[xatria]

Oh I encountered a deck with Spaniard and Dante Moro. Spaniard negated the lock unless 2 Citizens are out.

[The Rancord]

yes my Romulus Rush deck I posted here.

[xatria]

Oh yea.. it was super fast! nice one!
