Tips on how to beat Miranda's mission (Downtown Central)? EDIT : Beaten!

[Technom]

As the title says, does anyone have tips on how to beat Miranda's mission? She seems to gain a lot of economy really fast, buy cards, and completely obliterate me at the end of the game.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

EDIT : Miranda was beaten. SUCCESS!

Some time ago when someone asked something similar I made this:

I will try this. Thanks!

Also, this was made before a patch. The mayor was slightly nerfed. Laney is right now probably the easiest to win with. 2 x observatory + her x4 building usually means something like 80 points

I still beat it with the Mayor. Thanks a bunch! :D

I use Jeon Park. Steal and clone her buildings.

I used Yves Laurent and had no problems with her. My strategy:

Focus on economy early on. She won't be able to earn many points anyway, and with the minus effects of your buildings, you can keep her low enough to catch up. Max out on Factories and Wholesalers... possibly substations and electronics plants; they're a bit risky, but if you can combine them with a laboratory they're useful. Alternatively, go for workshops to cycle unnecessary cards.

Get Server Farm and Recycling Site as fast as possible, replacing your houses (and erasing them.) Always discard 3 cards with Server Farm. Grab as much as you can, focusing on non-cycling cards, especially ones that add industry or purchases, and use Science O'Matic and Laboratory to rush your tech as fast as you can.

You do need a few cycling cards to avoid going below 12 (I find Loving the Paperwork is not worth it), so grab any Mansions you can in particular and use Questionable Ethics to duplicate them if necessary. (Yes, there are more tempting things to use Questionable Ethics on, but I find you really need a lot of Mansions to replace your Houses.)

She tends to give you a lot of cards you don't want, so your Recycling Site, Server Farm, and Yves' card-replacement effects (eg. turn them into Solar Plants so they don't stick in your deck.) Ultimately you want to rush to four placements, townhouses, and mansions as soon as you can, with all your houses removed and a deck of 12 cards.

Miranda has a lot of economy, but her weakness is that she isn't quite as good at Yves at moving her less powerful cards out of her deck. So near the end, she'll have good cards in her deck, but won't draw them often enough to help her, while Yves will ideally be drawing nothing but his best stuff. Also, Miranda's expenditure tends to explode compared to Yves, which (combined with the fact that you'll draw your Townhouses and Mansions so often and the fact that you can buy a gold card and draw it almost immediately) should make it easy to snipe key rows from her.

I have thè game on tablet. I won because she was stuck. She had 2 4×4 buildings wich she could not place so I took several rows with massieve points.

Beat her with Marina, tanking a bunch of her columns with my negatives and building economy and some prisons every now and then. Near the end you can get 3 quarries(1 and 2 clones), which absolutely destroy her and boosts your prisons.
