Heads I win, tails you loose

[thest4lker]

Ok, I'm only posting this deck in conceptual form, because I don't have 5 of every card to make it look sweet (and no Ancestral, damnit!).

It's probably not something someone hasn't thought of before, but I haven't seen it yet. I got the idea from my eco assasin deck, which I very seldom loose with (except for Gamemeastro's damn discard/counter deck, which he built specifically because he lost to my eco assasin deck). The reason my eco assasin deck works so well is card advantage (no brainer). Green gets me more cards, and black has some awesome advantage cards like ezio, the auditore brothers etc. Even Lanz turns into a major card advantage card, cause everyone blocks him and looses cards.

So my new concept is combining the card advantage of black, with the card advantage of red (discard, archive). Not a single card in my deck costs me card advantage (so no plentifull crop, no forced inheritance). Income comes from cards like discreet calling, divine intervention etc. I have no exhaustion, as that costs me a card, and leaves his card alive. Obviously some archive drawing cards are in (but no ancestral discovery, damnit!) I have some black kill agent cards, which leave me level on cards. But every single site or agent gains card advantage (mysterious stranger, auditore bro's, assasins guild, catacombs, antonio de magianis etc.)

So it's similar to pure discard in some ways, in that you are trying to force a strong card advantage, but it's got much more power, and doesn't take forever

So heads (black) I win, Tails (Red) you loose.

Thoughts?

So, what's the deck?

I'm sure I posted that exact deck list in this forum in january. It's one of my main decks since... For ever.

Ressources are an issue. You can be overwhelmed before being able to play Mario and cie, and take Untimely End on it. Discard won't change that.
In the end, I've added some 0 cost agentsand 3 Plentiful Crop to help me be faster. It's still awesome.

Ok, I hadn't seen your deck

My experience is exactly like yours, had to add some zero cost agents to make it work and stall for time getting my advantage. It's still not where I want it to be, but that's simply a function of my card pool. But when it runs, it's awesome
