AC Recollections Expertise Staple

I've been trying out quite a few decks and think these are the staples of each Expertise:

Yellow
Plentiful Crop

Black
Rosa in Fiore
Forced Charity

Red
Basilica Di San Pietro
Benevolent Midwife
Divine Intervention

Purple
Dama Rossa
Political Patronage
Calling All Stand-ins
Magnetic Personality

Blue
Forced Inheritance
Court Order

Green
Knowledge is Power
Quick Study

They are mostly Income gainers at the moment. Use Baracus' Site for card list.

Site-Rush/Red, Green & Yellow/All packs

This deck deserves a repost as with Assassin cards added, a lot of cards needed to be changed. Use Baracus' Site for card list.

25 Sites
5 Venezia, San Polo District

5 Basilica Di San Pietro

5 Roma, Vaticano District

5 Lair of Romulus

3 San Grimgnano

2 Forli

25 Actions

5 Plentiful Crop

5 Knowledge is Power

5 Field of Study

5 Papal Influence

3 Wrath of the Righteousness

2 Animus Reboot

Total: 50 Memories

Wrath, Venezia and Animus for defense. Lair of Romulus, San Grimgnano, Forli and Papal Influence are game winning cards. Roma, Vaticano District can lockout Agents while still providing 2 influence which is quite versatile. More card-drawing available with Assassin cards: Knowledge is Power.

Site-rush Deck/Red, Green & Yellow/Templar Only

25 Sites

5 Basilica Di San Pietro

5 City Stables

5 Quiet Chapel

5 Roma, Vaticano District

5 Lair of Romulus

25 Actions

5 Papal Bull

5 Judgement Day

5 Seeking Sanctuary

5 Field of Study

5 Papal Influence

Total: 50 Memories

I put in Papal Bull for defense. Lair of Romulus, Judgement Day and Papal Influence are game winning cards. Roma, Vaticano District can lockout Agents while still providing 2 influence which is quite versatile. This is one of the few Templar decks that can use the card-drawing Memory, Field of Study.

Templar Faith Expertise Card List

Credits to Ubisoft for all the cards. My own comments (if any) to the card in italics below the card ability.

1: Priest. Tap this agent: Target Agent regains its lost Health. (resolves as Action)

2: Target Site or launching Site gets +2 influence.

3: Knight. No ability.

4: Knight. Recover.

5: Target Agent or Site loses all abilities. (Launching abilities will have no effect)

6: Knight. Always Safe.

Combos with Mass Destruction memories.

1: No ability.

2: Score 5 in target Region.

Good card.

3: When you get a church in a region, this site gets +1 influence.

4: If you replace this site, put it in hand instead of Archive.

Good Gold Generator, just keep recycling this card for gold.

5: When one of your agent is neutralized, score 1 in this region.

6: If you control this Region, Opponent cannot score in it.

Nice to lockdown a region but I haven't seen much use in it personally.

1: Priest. Recover.

2: Priest. No ability.

3: Herald. On each Region, players score points according to their Site's influence.

Combos with Judgement Day memory for faster scoring. Affects both players.

4: Priest. Recover + You regain Gold twice as slow.

Under-cost Agent for a side-back.

5: Priest. Recover + Fierce + You regain Gold twice as fast.

Combos with Juan Borgia (Card above)?

6: When you launch this memory, lose all your Gold. Target Site or launching Site gets +1 influence for each Gold lost.

There is a Assassin Rare Card called Royal Intervention that does what this card + Borgia Cardinal combined. I reckon this is the "poor man's version" of the Assassin Rare. It's still a good game-winning card though.

1: Surprise. Target Agent gets -2/-0

-0/-X Memories are in Assassin Packs which also explains why those are better.

2: When a player launches a Scholar Action, he discards his Memory with the highest Cost (at random in case of tie)

One of the rare discard effects in Templar packs. Only works specifically against Scholars so it is situational.

3: All Media Agents have -2/-0

Situational.

4: No ability.

5: Agents cannot campaign in this Region.

Agents already campaigning are not prevented. Good lockdown card.

6: All your Sites get +2 influence
