frajaq posted:I just learned that Fringilla Vigo is a card that exists I do miss the old Fringilla gambit deck back in the gold immune days. Bluff your opponent into passing early (but not too early) in R1, then play out your hand with uncontested Ambassadors and the old spy-duplicating Novices to buff the poo poo out of one unit, Fringilla onto a second unit, then Combat Engineer both. Round 2, open with Letho eating both units and see if your opponent can put triple-digit points on the board before he runs out of cards (or if he has a DShackles/DBomb). In the current game she's just too unreliable; half the time you're just handing your opponent the world's biggest Scorch/Igni for free. You can still use her offensively with spies, though, at least (drop an Emissary next to a giant unit and Fringilla it to 2), and she can work as a finisher with Tibor and a golem or another unit if you manage to get CA (and nothing happens to Tibor first).

The other great thing about reveal is once you see a bamboozle card like Fringella in your opponent's hand, it's pretty trivial to play around it.

I'm having a really, REALLY bad time playing NR right now. It seems like there's so much removal, my Siege Supports get blown up instantly, removing most of the power of my deck. Armor's been neutered, so there's not a lot there going on. I have no idea what to do. E: Right after I post this I get a keg with a Ge'els and a choice between Regis, Vattier, and Caretaker (whom I already have). Thanks for trying to cheer me up Shupe buddy

Sweers and muzzle poo poo on that deck really hard.

I was toying with Foltest Swarm before I moved over to ST Handbuff. It's one of those solitaire decks where you just plod along doing your own thing then hopefully you win with a ludicrous amount of force. If they kill your Siege Support just play another or play a PFI, and then use a Reaver Scout on whatever sticks. Just remember to save Foltest until after you have a couple of PFIs or Germain on the board. I haven't checked back in to see how this type of deck has evolved since the meta settled (has it settled yet?) but my version probably needs some tuning. I don't really know if swarm is competitive at all but it got me through wood league pretty quickly.

...just so I don't get embarrassed in some future match, if I "kill" a unit using a Weaken effect, like Mardroeme/Peter/Mandrake, it doesn't trigger Deathwish effects correct?

It also removes them from the game instead of graveyarding them. It's a fantastic way to derail the Nekker/slizard train and mandrake also has some utility against Skellige and Hanselt (to remove their first siege support so they can't Shani it).

As long as that unit's base power is equal to or less than the amount you weaken by. Even if you don't kill it, as long as its base power was reduced to zero or less it will not go to the graveyard after it is finally destroyed, which means no deathwish effect will occur.

I switched things up and am running an armor deck now. So far it's doing alright, it's not being played to death right now so a lot of people have no idea what to expect out of it.

I'm going to bet that at some point, playing multiple emissaries in a row that summon an impera enforcer won't give you a number of free shots. I'd also perhaps expect a little more than that to be adjusted, but that is a little bit of an odd interaction.

I'm still in the midranks but I consistently beat spies and harpooners and it's really the "tier two" decks that give me trouble. I guess that's sort of what the tiers mean, but if people take that "tier one" to heart it'll actually be good for reveal.

Tibor-Fringilla Nilfgaard may be by far my worst matchup along with Spell'a'tael as Spy Nilfgaard, honestly.

Both those matchups should be pretty easy with Peter, and true Spella'tael is easily an auto-win if you can replay him with Emhyr. Even with Calveit, between Peter and Infiltrator + Menno you shouldn't have much trouble with nuking big units. If you start seeing a lot of Fringilla NG at your tier, you could consider running Igni as well, but that's probably going to leave you a bit lacking in a lot of other matchups.

Yeah, I've been using Assire + Roach, but I really should switch her for Peter. I normally run Calveit because I prefer his voice acting, truth be told  I've been debating the possibility of swapping Roach for Auckes, but I'm not decided on that yet.

frajaq posted:Wait a second, Peter ignores Shields?

I didn't know they didn't block resets. There's lots of weird interactions with shield I never learned because they don't come up enough.

You are correct. I think it's because a reset could be either a positive or negative effect, and thus isn't classified as either. A shield blocks a damage effect, but a reset isn't strictly speaking a damage effect. A player could wish to reset one of their own damaged units back up to full strength. Those goofy cards that "set" an enemy's strength to a lower value are classified as damage effects and are blocked by Quen. Really they need to better phrase the effect of "set" cards like Frigilla and Serrit, because nobody seems to intuitively grasp how they work.

Also farming rounds by playing your spy to bait them into passing then dropping a few cards to take the round, then forfeiting, is something I've seen before.

Reset as a mechanic basically blows up protectors. It sets them to 2 power, even through the quen shield, so it's effectively as good as a Coral/Jade Idol effect. That said, most reset cards aren't that great, so if you need to run four of them to counter Spell'Tael it'll probably sink your WR vs. other decks.

So I haven't played since the first month or so this was public, but I've played 80 hours of Witcher 3 since buying it last month, so I decided to play this again today. I bought the $5 starter set, got a shitload of mulligan based elf cards, so I built a mulligan deck. I'm 6-0 in casual so far, because I'm not level 10 yet. In my last game I learned you can mulligan to redraw the card you mulligan, which blew my mind. It's a free +3 to your best card in hand with Francesca. Next I need to save up the scraps to get Sarah.

Ok, after a little more keg and scrap spending I've made this Francesca deck. Bronze: Elven Wardancer - 3 Blue Mountain Commando - 3 Vrihedd Officer - 3 Vrihedd Vanguard - 3 Dol Blathanna Trapper - 2 Vrihedd Brigade - 1 Silver: Decoy Scorch Dudu Sarah Barclay Els Cleaver Gold: Royal Decree Triss Marigold Avallac'h: The Sage Saesenthessis Wardancers get mulliganed out. Commandoes flop out in a mass. Officers boost off of vanguards or, failing that, trappers. Brigade is weather control or a beefy officer target if need be. Els and Cleaver are weird, I know, but with mulligans I can guarentee Els in hand and cleaver in deck, which makes Els a 14 point play plus lock. So what do I do next? Saskia is my next creation, obviously, but I'm not sure what she replaces. I also don't know what my next step after that is. I think I take Dudu out, as Francesca's boost is nulified if I dig him out, but he's generically useful and I don't know what to replace him with. Ida Emean?
