Well to be fair, it says they are pushing back single player content, and want to release multiplayer content faster. No mention of new MP mode on that list though.

I just checked and they're studiously avoiding putting any Toussaint-related cards into Nilfgaard or any other faction for that matter, right?

Germain of Fox Hollow is from Toussaint and he's a neutral, but I don't think there is anyone else.

Anna Henrietta is going to be the 4th leader of Nilfgaard, unless they changed plans, so they going to add the Toussaint roster together with her all in one go for lore friendliness and synergy reasons.

But in the end all you going to play as NG is Spies, but now with Anna.

This season is the last two month'er, so at the end of December.

From next year the pro ladder will still be two months, but everything other than that will be one.

Assuming every faction is getting the same count of cards, each faction is getting 5 new silvers and 4 new golds and 9 bronzes. No new commons yet.

Plus this is probably the new leaders patch, right? So one gold from each faction may be a leader.

The number of new cards per faction varies. Monsters and NG get 18, NR gets 17, ST and SK get 16. See https://www.playgwent.com/en/card-reveals

I wonder if Nilfgaard having more in-faction golds is a deliberate design they'll be sticking with or something that will even out.

Hey guys any advice on improving my "improved" milfgaard spying deck? I got up to rank 18 and then hit such a huge brick wall my MMR dropped below 3.6k. Should I really keep at it or wait until a day or two before the new season comes out? Or alternatively what is the big "meta" deck out right now? I have enough scraps for one gold card.

Just like everyone expected, there's something happening with rows? Peasent militia says 'fill a row with peasants' though of course rows are unlimited at the minute.

For me at least, winch looks pretty neat, even if it is fairly vanilla. No synergy with foltest or henselt, but you can fish out whichever machine you need. Isengrim the outlaw seems like the ultimate toolbox, since it seems to be any silver special or any silver scoiatel unit? That means you can lock, scorch, banish, dimeritium bomb, get value from something like horn or torvuiel, counter weather with Ida, artifact compression, throw down weather, decoy... maybe I'm overvaluing, but it seems to me like it'd be an auto-include just because it can do anything, or the card is more limited than the short description on the website implies.

New Isengrim and similar effects are a la discover in hearthstone, you’re given a choice between 3 options selected randomly from the pool of possibilities.

Ah, thanks. That makes a lot more sense than the way it seemed :psyduck: Feels like it should have a different keyword since something like monster nest uses 'spawn' and has a selection of 7 or so.

I can't think of anything besides slight tweaks (I run two enforcers, three infiltrators). I'm also treading water at rank 18 right now and I think at this point it's probably less about your deck than how you play it. Definitely try to learn the matchups so you don't get blindsided (I keep losing to weird Skellige decks) and remember that losing streaks happen.

Just learned the hard way that when you use Siggy to rez Dorregaray and then eat him with the Eki, Cerys doesn't proc. :argh: A bit annoying given that she seems to proc before deploy effects resolve on other units.

Yea I think my deck is solid and I can’t really tweak it in major ways that would be beneficial. I just keep getting unlucky and not playing optimally is all. I just need to stop getting tilted every time I lose to a deck I couldn’t predict and counter. I’ve learned a bunch about the decks I’m up against though. I actually think spell elves are my best match up if I have an infiltrator, Menno and Peter ready to lay waste to their protectors at the end of the match. Skellige is a hard match up sometimes unless they’re playing with greatswords. Hardest match up might be NR swarms decks. However, if I have muzzle and ceallach then I can control the siege support dudes with ease. Most match ups i usually lose to their last round scorch which is so aggravating! Lol at this game.

Yeah I got my huge infiltrator scorched last night. I normally save rainfarn for last play, but I needed a Menno target. Another game I lost by two points because joachim pulled the operator'd dol blathana. Any other card would have won it. :qq:

Burza confirmed that it continues till one unit dies. A DUEL TO THE DEATH!

Could be a really interesting mechanic if we see some bronzes with it. Quen basically acts as a force doubler in that case.

i did, at the start. (on cards, not powder.) it annoys me to basically not be able to play competitive decks for lack of cards. i got a nice little boost at the start, to the point where i could at least construct a variety of decent monsters decks, and from then on i played normally.

Just had this game happen and didn’t even realize I almost lost because I had a higher strength target tagged in the back. Still a great swinging game.

Had a Spella'tael player 2-0 himself today when he tried to get a mite too clever for his own good. Of course, he also opened his must-win round 2 by playing three of his four Protectors (Operator in R1), so I really don't know what he was thinking in general. (I mean, I was probably gonna squeeze 'em out of him regardless, but he didn't know that for sure...)
