Work in Progress: Greedy Roguemoval

[jawenforcement]

On my last post, I got some great feedback from Theorist (http://teamcovenant.com/members/theorist/) and I was encouraged to trim my number of different cards down. I was reccomended to get to 20 cards and then use multiples of them. I went a step further and found a win strategy with my other desk using just multiples of 13 cards (+resources).

I call this deck: Greedy Roguemoval

(http://teamcovenant.com/wiki/Card_Counter) (4) [d] Shadowy Muggar - Covert Discard Character x4 (http://teamcovenant.com/wiki/Shadowy_Mugger)

Note: If I was gonna work with an even bigger budget, I'd replace Card Counter with Heist Planner (http://teamcovenant.com/wiki/Heist_Planner).

Looking at the notes I left for myself, this deck is all about a few things: forcing my opponent to lose a lot of their deck, wasting their time, killing their characters quickly and recovering influence.*I know this deck has some weaknesses in it, but that's where the Sahadowy Muggar comes in. When I bring him into play, I'll search for cards that give my opponent ways to cut down my faction and my locations. This deck is grade-A devious, and I can't wait to get the remaining cards I need to make it.

Edit: Considering adding Dousing Cleric. So many staple resources!

you need more characters to abuse with gilded yurt.

dwarvish grimalkin might be better than guttersnipe.

The idea is to force heavy amounts of deck removal using Card Counter and Shadowy Muggar with the Gilded Yurt. I forgot about the Grimalkin, but I include Guttersnipes because they are a 1-1-4 and if I attach poison blades to them nobody will want to touch them. I suppose I could go half and half though.
