The Establishment Deck is one of the two most common decks in the game alongside [[Establishment Republican]], being used by 5 different Republican candidates. This is the ideal deck for any Republican with legislative or political experience, extending to many Senators, Representatives, and even party elites.

This card set was introduced as part of the original playtest alongside several other essential card sets on February 21st, 2024 (see: [[Patch Notes#0.80|Patch Notes]]).

== Card Types ==

=== Neutral ===
These cards can be taken advantage of by anyone when used, and are preferable when you don't have much of a strong deck to play, or when you may simply have the stronger position or candidate stats to back it up. The Filibuster in particular is good at neutralizing unwanted surprises and can be used to put a chokehold on the pace of the game.

=== Enthusiasm ===
When it comes to shaping enthusiasm, there are 3 different enthusiasm operatives to do so, giving the player all the basic tools to shape up a national campaign without specifically focusing on one type of card type over any others. Although you may have 3 celebrity endorsements under your belt should you need the national boost, just make sure that those enthusiasm scores don't bottom out to zero after you play them.

=== Defense ===
When it comes to countering problematic cards, getting a lock on the situation with fixers and maverick reformers is pertinent to curbing your opponent's most valuable tools.
Keep note of how many fixers and maverick reformers that may have been expended, as it will be important to space them out should opponents use it as an opening to plop down endorsements, or other powerful cards that may give them a crucial opening.

<div style="display: flex;flex-wrap: wrap;">

</div>

=== Offense ===
The Crooked Prosecutor is one of the best cards when it comes to simply securing an advantage. Not only can it be used right before an election, but unless they have a [[Bodyguard]] they will be short a turn, missing out on crucial political opportunities, speeches, and most importantly: valuable campaign time. You have only one of these, so use it wisely! Furthermore the Insider Volunteer is a hidden way to flip the advantage on your side when your opponent is holding onto valuable cards should they visit the state it's placed in.

<div style="display: flex;flex-wrap: wrap;">
<span id="CrookedProsecutor">

|cost=1
}}
</span>
</div>

=== Operatives ===
The operatives from the classic Political Machine series are here! The Establishment Republican deck in particular has 3 Spin Doctors to work with, with one of them being an expert. These are powerful tools in primaries, and can hold as much weight as certain [[HQs#Political_Capital|Think Tank]] HQ upgrades making them effective for changing the margins on the map.

<div style="display: flex;flex-wrap: wrap;">
<span id="ExpertSpinDoctor">

</span>
</div>

=== Speeches ===
When it comes to getting the most out of your [[speeches]], you have a Stump Speech Expert and Speech Personalizer that when timed and placed well, can be used to increase your speed effectiveness by 50%. Thankfully speech cards are low on the totem pole when it comes to cards your opponent will try to counter, meaning you will be able to get constant mileage out of them when they are effectively used.

<div style="display: flex;flex-wrap: wrap;">
<span id="SpeechPersonalizer">

|art=Card_StumpSpeechExpert.png
|title=Stump Speech Expert
|description=Increase Speech Effectiveness by 50% for 4 turns.
|cost=3
}}
</span>
</div>

=== Endorsements ===
When it comes to getting a 2% boost across the map and bringing important issues to the top of the state table, with strong issue scores to boot, then these issue Endorsements will be your most crucial step towards affecting the state of the race. Your opponents, players and AI included, will make high priority of these cards, so secure and time them wisely!

<div style="display: flex;flex-wrap: wrap;">
<span id="EndorsementIndustrialWorkersAlliance">
{{Card
|art=Card_GenericEndorsement.png
|title=Industrial Workers' Alliance
|description=Seek endorsement from Industrial Workers' Alliance, an anti Automation group, in target State. Increases Enthusiasm in all States by 2%.

}}
</span>
</div>

=== Political Capital ===
These are some of your best cards when it comes to giving you the direct upper hand. Not only is your Lobbying Team and Mentor powerful means of racking up PC gain, but should your opponent ignore it, you will be seeing your political capital overtake your opponent in quick succession during crucial moments in the game. A well timed Expert Rebuke can deter your opponent from having the crucial capital to secure a necessary endorsement, and may help you around certain election dates, or simply just secure your PC advantage. Uniquely you have the Mentor card (in contrast to the Establishment Democrat deck's [[Analyst]]) to gain PC at the expense of your stamina. Or should you place it in a vital location, it will earn you passive PC from your opponents that visit it.

<div style="display: flex;flex-wrap: wrap;">

=== Cash ===
If you need a quick cash infusion, plop down a Big Donor to save yourself valuable stamina and turns in fundraising, or maximize your [[Fundraising|fundraisers]] with the Event Coordinator to build up a campaign war chest that will last throughout the entire game. You might not even need [[HQs#Money|Consulting Offices]] should you land one of these cards early in the game. In contrast to the [[Establishment Democrat]] deck's [[Party Hotshot]], you have a Party Leadership card that will give you 150k in cash at the cost of 1 of your Political Capital. Alternatively, should you need to save money when constructing a building, you can throw out the Experienced Builders card.

<div style="display: flex;flex-wrap: wrap;">
