No Wave posted:Dwarves are the only evil deck because they're trying to stop you from doing your dailies. I about at the point where I'm not going to gg when I get 2-0'd. Even besides dwarves, dry passing round 2 is so much more rare than at the start of open beta. Makes me never wanna pass round 1, even if I'm up a lot and sure the opponent would need to play 2 cards to win the round.

Trogdos! posted:Easiest gigni of my life in the last 2 days i have melted so many northern realms cards with scorch or epidemic. One guy just ff after i took off 20 points. it's ironic that dwarvs, the deck i felt too bored to play with, are now so absurdly strong and even if i pull every scorch card in my deck I feel like it's almost impossible to win vs them

I remember thinking the dwarf nerf (to only one round of resilience) was excessive and yes I feel very differently now.

Got up to 3500 with Radovid Control which has good matchups against both consume monsters and dwarves, although I think it's too underpowered to be a tier 1 deck.

Mind sharing the deck? I wouldn't mind trying a Radovid deck. Actually thats a good question, what is the best deck sharing website? Gwentdb?

http://www.gwentdb.com/decks/24576-truedawns-top-20-rado-control This is the guy I stole it off, although the version I played had Ciri over Vernon Roche and a couple of different bronze spells (a 3rd Thunder and a 2nd Lacerate over the two Tremors). It's not clear to me that he changes he made are an improvement, but he's better than me so I guess you're better off with his version. It's definitely not an autopilot deck so I'd be happy to answer questions (not that I'm any kind of real expert) or you could watch his stream to pick up some tips.

It.. is? I never had it that low once. My main gripe with the deck is that the bronzes suck. Aretuza Adepts are ok, but Redanian Knight is a sorry excuse for a card unless you can stick it in some weather. Alzur's Thunder feels good when you're picking off Mahakam Defenders before they can get buffed but sometimes they struggle to get even 7 points. Spell Dwarves and Consume are nice matchups because they are essentially combo decks, if you can kill or lock some key pieces the rest of their cards are bad. Any generic good stuff deck will likely overpower you.

You can try reinforced trebs if your knights aren't getting value. I think the idea behind the knights is that they're resilient to reactive cards like lacerate in general and you don't have many targets for whatever of those your opponent is running.

I was playing reveal decks before they were cool but I'm glad they are in style now. Still running letho+dbomb though since it can wreck consume decks and is still great against skellige.

For those of you with more scraps than you know what to do with: now that the refund system for nerfed cards has been changed to refund scraps and animation powder it's possible to turn scraps into powder with the weather cards. A premium weather card can be crafted for 200 scrap and mills for 30 scrap AND 100 powder, a 1.7 to one ratio.. e: Actually stammelfort's tremors gives an ever better ratio at 400 scap for a return of 80 scrap + 200 powder.

Hah hah, I was sure I was going to win with my three 18 strength Spotters in the three separate rows. The opponent had one card left, but I had enough overhead in points to win even if that card was G:Igni. Well, it wasn't, it was Scorch. Who the hell runs Scorch and not GIgni?? So it killed the three spotters, of course, and I lost the game.

You can spend 1600 scraps on a premium gold or 800 for a base gold and spend 640 for 400 powder. That's a 20% discount over the basic scrap price. Good deal.

Tales of conceding too early: I'm at 29, opponent is at 32. I have zero cards in deck (he has 7) and one card left in hand, Gaunter. I play it and he immediately concedes before I can choose an option.

I know Reavers aren't a tier 1 deck, but I love playing them. I just had a guy bring 102 points worth of resilient cards into round 3 after I passed early. First thing he did was Letho them to put him up 109 to nothing. Using 4 reavers I still came back and won.

RatHat posted:I don't understand what just happened. I played Udalryk and got the choice of Clan Dimun Pirate and Ciri:Dash. I picked Clan Dimun Pirate but got Ciri:Dash in my hand instead, and nothing went into my graveyard. The hell? Ok I found out what happened. What Udalryk actually does is discard a card and then draw the top card of your deck. Since Ciri: Dash goes back into your deck there's a chance it can be the top card.

Enemy plays Hjalmar, so I counter with Emhyr and take that giant back to my hand to be mulliganed away later and then he concedes.  Is lack of weather clearing popular now? At low ranks, it seems rather uncommon. I'm sure there are some rather happy players just starting with Eredin...
