Lanz stacks on other Lanz. I've gotten my Lanz to 10/10.

Discreet calling to look for lanz. Order of king to look for Dante.

Late game: Discreet for Ezio, assassin, Order for Cesare.

(Both Ezio and Cesare cannot be countered btw, making them v powerful agents)

Btw, the Lanz deck is first made know to me through bronto. who also faced off against such a deck in PvP and thereafter posted his interpretation at the unofficial forum.

In my version, I have Assassin cards in them.

I'd say without a doubt the Lanz deck is the strongest in the meta right now. You eat Pan/RI for breakfast. Let Pan resolve, counter RI and win that region with your 5/5 lanzes by that point.

It's the only thing that can beat my Juno deck more or less consistently (2 out of 3). It's just unbelievably fast. If he can counter the first Animus Reboot, it's over.

I didn't use Dante in mine. My deck was just mainly Lanz and thieves with Blue counters (called the deck "Police & Thief") as I think the weakness of Lanz & co are board wipers. I agree that Lanz deck is one of the strongest as his effect is just broken. You can be blocking a thief with an agent holding equal stats thinking you do a 1-for-1 trade but once Lanz goes campaigning, your agent immediately gets overpowered. Lanz should be considered to be a "boss" agent.

I like to test my decks against Mission 19 (AI's thief deck) as that can help you check how fast your deck is.

Sadly AI is bad at chosing regions to attack or fights to enter. Most of the time, they should win faster than they do.

But yeah, it's a good fire test.

Then you'd be playing the game wrong. The thief's stats don't matter if he gets blocked. Your agent is dying anyways (unless it also has threat or cunning).

A lot of times I see people play their Cesares to block my 4/4 or 3/3 Lanz thinking they'll stop me. I'd love to see the look on their faces when their Cesare dies and my Lanz is undamaged. They probably think I'm cheating.

Hi guys, This game looks interesting... how would you guys compare this to Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers? Better / Worse? Thanks.

2 months. Lol! They need more money. Bug testing after release ain't cheap. Ubisoft just implemented a kickstarter program. If you go to their main site you will find a link that lets you donate. For every additional $500 they receive from each of you, the update will arrive one hour earlier. You will also receive a free Juan Borgia card, an amazingly rare 'uncommon' that is sure to be the highlight of any deck. If you send me $500, I will give you all 68 of my Juan Borgia's because I am feeling generous today.

It's different from MtG. Much different. It's more like Dominion and Ascension, but in real-time. You have the deck building aspect of a CCG, like MtG, but that's pretty much where the comparisons end (unless you count the money sucking aspect of card collecting, then it's very much like MtG). However, if you like games like MtG, Dominion and Ascension, then you really should check out AC:R.

Love Ascension. But what do you mean '...but in real-time'?

This is not a typical turn-based card game. The game starts and it's a free-for-all. You play your cards at whatever rate you want. Time advances in a day-night cycle, which helps you to determine the time it will take for the cards to resolve, but you can play your cards when you want, as long as you have the resources available. Your resources increase depending upon what cards you've played and the day-night cycle. It's kind of hard to describe, so you may want to go back to the first page of this thread and check out Sanuku's video.

It's a really great game. It's got it's faults, but with any luck, Ubisoft will make some tweeks and live up to their promises. It's definitely worth the $0.99 investment. Then you can check it out yourself.
