I haven't played many either, although I did have a game a couple weeks back where I was holding their two femme fatales in my hand. Gotta love stealing their winning card.

I've had Femme Fatale played on me 4 times by 4 different people. Each time I countered it ... with a Tactical Upheaval. Seems a little weird as far as main strategy goes.

Bronto's femme fatale deck (posted a while ago) is great on paper but I haven't been able to play it cos of lack of a few key cards. Very interested to play a femme fatale deck, though the combo is obviously VERY vulnerable  |

Very vulnerable to Tactical, but most players either don't realize it and bust out their TU too soon, or don't carry Tactical Upheaval.
Any instant ally destruction will work.

I have a lot of success with my courtesan deck, but that's probably because it is not a pure courtesan deck. It's a scholar/crime combo, which actually only has 13 courtesans, at least partly cause I dont have enough of the better courtesan cards, eg. Only got 2xclaudio auditore and fiora. It's a very flexible mixed deck, with lots of counter and control cards, and 4 ways to win. Obviously the classic courtesan, then I also have 2 San gimignano, a lair of romulus, an assassins guild and a palazzo library (I love palazzo library, using it to replay a gimignano or an assassins guild works so well). Then I also have 3 change of plans, and I recently added a Juno because with scholar and a lot of counters I was getting some long games against other players with lots of counters where I had massive card advantage but no winners.
Not sure what you call this kind of deck, but I win most games.

That's why I only run my courtesans with Monterigioni. And I do have 5 Femme Fatale's, so I don't mind if one fizzles. It's an expensive Knowledge is Power this way. |

In order to keep the femme Fatale useful when the opponent tries surprising your courtesans, would it work to make sure you have back up Courtesans... And play them (To replace) before using the femme fatale?
So even if one is knocked cold, you have another 1 coming into play before the femme resolves... Of course it would be best to do it with all 6, so no matter which of the 6 they put into the archive, a second one will replace with time to spare.
I am no master at how the game works, but is it possible that could work?

Nope, if you play the 6th courtesan and then play femme fatale straight after, a surprise can take out any other courtesan and cancel your win. If you replace your 6th with another, the same happens if a surprise kills any of them. Basically unless you can play a courtesan at surprise speed, a surprise that removes a courtesan will stuff up femme fatale.

It is hypothetically possible to play 6 courtesans and a femme fatale as quickly as you can in succession... I've never seen it happen.

No, I didn't mean like that;
In play: Courtesan: 1,2,3,4,5,6
In hand: Courtesan ,7,8,9,10,11,12 + Femme Fetale
Replace 1 with 7, 2, with 8 Etc, and THEN as soon as you have clicked the last replacement play the femme, so that even if the one in play is surprised the one resolving will take its place
My idea is basically, will it kill off the current one in play, or kill of the one resolving to replace.. if it kills the one currently in place, the femme will be able still trigger; because of the one resolving to replace it will be be finished before Femme is.
e.g: opponent kills 1, but 7 is able to get there before the femme cus it was started before the femme.
Does that make more sense? :/

Lol, so your theory is to have 12 courtesans - 6 in play, 6 in hand? I haven't ever EVER met Ny deck/player/game that could pull that off, so I have never been able to test it. Good luck testing it |

Haha, A suggestion is all... I looked over here, seeing what I can potentially do with my new Femme, and it is now obvious I will need more than one, Lol... I can sometimes have that type of card numbers, But that is when the opponent is to busy worrying about my Grimaldis, De la Motte and Teodores at 4/4 plus heiress and knight bonuses on the three main attackers
