I've been experimenting with a courtesan based deck since discovering femme fatale. I can't find a viable deck yet as I only own single copies of the essential cards.
There's a black/green - lots of draw but only one win, you need to use femme fatale. Black/green courtesans have no power. Too easy to counter.
With black/purple you can buff your courtesans so they can pretty much dominate the board. If you can get a chain of Christina Vespucci going with 'magnetic personality','man of the people' and 'motivational speech' then you can win that way too without femme fatale.
The only problem is draw, I only own one copy of forced charity and one of femme fatale. Tactical upheaval is ok but if your playing an agent less deck then your just killing your courtesans which is not ideal.
I guess there's a build there but I'm going to have to wait until the Auction house is implemented.

When will the Auction house be up?
You will need at least 3/4 Femme Fatale for sure.
And green - for Quick Study.

Are there any tutor cards you can use?
I think there are some card drawing courtesans too.

Yea the card drawing courtesan is green, the problem I'm finding with green is as I only have one copy of femme fatale, sure I can get 6 courtesans, I can pull out femme fatale with quick study but if I lose it its game over, I have to rely on sites to win.
With purple there's multiple outs, but I don't have the required cards to do it yet, for either green or purple.

Good game. Another swing match lol, thought you had me.
When you had 4-5 Courtesans early I was scared. Did you have the Fatale? haha

I've got a more tuned version of the deck now, I was having a lot of success until I met evilkarmas control deck, was a fun game, but a clearly got my ass kicked again.

But it really was much better from what I recall the first times I played you. Which card did you use to pump the walls? That was good. I was thinking my Carnevale tokens would run them over but nope lol |

I'll post the deck, it's not finished yet but the core is there and I am having a lot of success.
Essentially it is based on Femme Fatale but I found that I only win with that card maybe in in 4 times.
18 Agents
Poala - 0 cost +1 gold and she can keep the opponent from scoring a little.
Dama Rossa - 0 cost +2 gold, not much use after that But she still counts as one of your 6
Beguiling Court - Has cunning and + 1 gold
Fiora Cavazzo - Handy for removing agents with 3 power or less.
Claudia Auditore - Can remove any agent with 1 health or reduce power + 1 gold
Madonna Solari - Can res your dead courtesans to keep you up to 6.
Christina Vespucci - Gives other courtesans +3 power, especially useful for beguiling courtesan.
Actions 23
Clothes make the man - this is the main card in the deck I've found. It has many uses, you can copy your own actions and get them for 0 cost. Opponent casts a nice draw card, copy it.
Motivational Speech - Gives all your courts +1/1. Copied with Clothes make the man it's +2. Now that 0/3 beguiling courtesan is a 5/7 with cunning.
Magnetic Personality - very useful, a +3/3 with fierce and recover. Now your 0/3 is 8/10 with fierce , recover and cunning.
Tactical Upheaval - basically in for the draw but can also be handy when you need the extra power on a buffed courtesan... 10/8. Or to negate some enemy power.
Other actions can be any choice, I normally put in some blacks to stop enemy sites or agents. But there is also Man of the People +3/3 fierce and recover.
Sites 9
Im just using the high cost sights at the moment. while the other player is putting his low cost sites down I'm putting courtesans instead. When I can put down my sites, they are usually game changers.
That's the basic core. It's by no means finished and im still a relative novice but I feel like I'm getting somewhere now with this deck.
I hope it makes sense and Suggestions more than welcome

Is femme fatale viable if you use black/green deck?

Deck is not really good. Becuase u need to invest so many card slots to make femmme fatale work. And it can be just countered. As long as the Montereggino Bug exists you can win though. Against decks that cant counter or surprise stop a courtesan, its freewin, allthough very boring because u do nothing |

Yep, I struggled to get it to work, that deck has been consigned to the bin. the reason I found success with it was that with purple buffs I was able to give my courtesans power so I had 3 ways out with grand theatre too. I learnt a lot about the purple cards though and I have applied them to a new deck that wins about 8 out of 10 times (much better use)
I tried the black/green combo too , it's ok but your only available win is femme fatale and sites, it's probably successful but damn boring to play and easily countered.
