Purple (media) agent, cost 2, 1/1 ability: 7: Kill an agent and Caterina becomes that agent
I have like a million of her. She's flexible with multiple uses, but I can't justify playing her over Dama Rosa, or Calling All Stand Ins, or Copycat.
I guess she can technically:
1) Creature removal 2) Threat copy (Cesare) 3) Feed Art Gallery/Borgia Tower 4) She's not even a Courtesan. Feeding Noble decks for 2 cost no income is bleh.
Any thoughts?

she is only usefull if u can play her out early, and then lies there for the enemy. If the enemy has allrdy a big drop, gving him a whole day time (or maybee 1.5 days I dunno when the effect triggers) is way to slow.
And if you want to use her early (So enemy cant counter) you need to play to many copies of her. no income boost and a cards that does not much,l can cripple you badly though.
Just my point. The crime action seems better.

She's a pain to play against when she's on the board, sitting there waiting for your fattie. But also, she's a pain to add in a deck. No ressource boost, no real offensive power, no good synergy with media cards... I'd say she's not a really good agent, but let's wait a little to judge cards.

Personally I'd love it if they made her a courtesan, it would certainly make a crime/media Femme Fatale deck possible.

That's because she's a noble I managed to play her in my Borgia Art deck. Quite good actually.

An interesting effect of her ability , I'm not sure if it's intended but ...
If you use her ability on a safe agent, her copy becomes safe too.

And you don't kill the target. She's an interesting solution to Cesare. But not to Lanz sadly.

I don't understand sorry? She's a 2 cost 1/1. Yep she is in effect 9 cost ,yet still cheaper than a 10 cost Cesare, which she eliminates unless he's safe. How is she more vulnerable to tactical upheaval than any other agent? Edit: I think you meant tactless theatrics, in which case I see your point

For some reason I thought she was 0/1. It's true it will eliminate Cesare, but not before he scores 5, which can very well be the difference in winning or losing. Unless you have an official agent or someone with cunning.

You can activate her before he attacks. He won't score. I do this timing thingy all day long with many effects. 90% success.

Well, the only thing good about her is: she is the most sexiest card in the game lol. I never had problems against her. Always kicked her back when she used her effect with bitter sweet or always had tactical theatralics or something like that around to kill her. But I really learned from playing against her not to use dante on the target agent. I always thought of that to be a bug but now that I know she copies SAFE too, I think she is hard to handle in certain situations.

With the bug, it's been really annoying playing her, spend 7 gold , opp plays the target agent, I miss click, Caterina gets bounced back to my hand, I lose 7 gold and have to wait a to do it all again , costing me the game.

Because she's a noble, she has her place in a Media/Order deck. Can be selected with By order of the king, useful and cheap way to boost Charles De La Motte, along with the Templar Knight.
As you mentioned Bronto she can also score on the Art Gallery.

solid card, but 7 to kill an agent is a bit high, so its not really gonna happen very often, unless u really need it, u r not gonna pay 7 to neut a wimp(anything costing 3 or less, sometimes 2 depending on ur definition), and most of the "big guns" have some sort of ways that give u an advantage when launch, so it becomes a bit situational, if it still copies even if the killing part got whiff, it would work to copy silvero, and its great for killing the Borgias father or son, as for Gallery/Borgia Tower, there's better things for them, and if u r not gaining an advantage, u r putting urself at a disadvantage, nobles also better things for it. So ya solid card, but kina situational because of it's cost, and situational cards have a tendency to show up when u dont need it, and absent when u do, just my opinion
ps if u have a million of those, mind selling me 5 cheap?
