Ranked: people playing casually to slowly grind up to 4k mmr with their 30% winrate Casual: the absolute sweatiest and most tryhard decks imaginable as people desperately try to 2-0 people and get their daily rewards before reset. Possibly the most competitive mode.

The Discover-like mechanic from Hearthstone is now called Create e: Shupe gets a card finally frajaq fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Dec 12, 2017 |

Create is now faction locked, so you can only draw from your own faction and neutrals. Hooray for controlled rng!

Good change, should make Adda a lot less dumb. Good cards in general this round, challenger should be a lot of fun.

Love the premium art on the new Iorveth. I wonder if they're going to reveal new Roche and Triss cards.

Couple of upcoming changes: Chair now resurrects leader and has 1 power (same rules as other resurrects, it has to be in your graveyard), Bloody Baron is 9 base power and can be boosted anywhere from enemy unit death and no longer goes to the top of your deck, Draug is 8 power and resurrects units as 1-power draugirs until the row is filled, Malena is now 7 power Ambush: After 2 turns, flip over and Charm the highest bronze or silver enemy with 5 power or less. Still at least 1 more ambush card upcoming.

Personally I feel like Ambush needs to get fundamentally changed. Make a couple of uncollectible ambush effects, then have a few different cards let you Create an ambush. It's very hard to balance ambush cards as evidenced by the last time they were super dominant, because cards have similar tempo and power it's hard to make an ambush that's competitive without being too swingy and influential when there's a variety of possible ambushes. If you bundle up more of an ambush effects' power in a related card, you make them less swingy when your opponent guesses wrong.

For those who can't watch the stream, what's Gwent Challenger?

Official tournament.

# ? Dec 12, 2017 23:18 |

For those who didn't watch the stream, in addition to their different powers each of the three adventurers has a pool of five abilities and you get to pick one out of three of them. One of the examples they gave for the Mage adventure, for example, was to draw a card. I'm gonna build the poo poo out of a Shupe deck. Shupe, Renew, and Royal Decree for sure. Only 22 more cards to go. Dimetrium Shackles and Decoy as well, probably.

Yeah this is some next level nerd. First trackers, now spergulators. Reddit nerd posted:Hi guys, we just saw a new Iorveth card, and calculating the value you get is tricky. I did some quick maffs, and have discovered the ultimate ratio for two cards that battle each other. I assume that you choose two enemy units without armor or quen etc. Say unit 1 has power x and unit 2 has power y, with x < y. You would do maximum damage if y = phi x, with the golden ratio phi=1.6180... This is a limit situation, (only if the battle goes on for ever), but I just love it when the golden ratio pops up in a random place. Even so, it is a really good rule of thumb: Pick the highest enemy, divide its power by the golden ratio, and pick the other enemy closest to that value!

(He is still salty as gently caress, cause he sold the rights to CDPR for like 5 bucks and now CDPR is printing mad dollars out of The Witcher)

Tailbot made several misplays towards the end (placing his Enforcer on the wrong row, letting it get blow up by a whale harpooner. And then, far more inexcusably, not pinging any emissaries into the graveyard when he had a vico in hand), and if had avoided any of those I think he would've won the round by a few points. But, big props to Kolemoen for not wussing out and playing his last card after that crazy Vilge > Menno draw.

So is this actually a dead gay card game or what? I just downloaded it on PS4 and it’s fun enough I doing the solo challenges, is multiplayer full of whales? Or can fun be had with zero spend?

you're going to have a miserable time until you reach level 10 and can play ranked weird I know but that's how it is I haven't spent a cent on the game and in a month I had enough free stuff from the game to build 2 decent decks and climb to rank 18 and get a lot of kegs as ranked rewards, which increased even more my collection

Or can fun be had with zero spend? It's by far the most generous and realistic for free to play game in the genre imo. The start is still rough but it's very easy to grow your collection for free once you can field one good deck. I wouldn't play it on PS4 if you can avoid it though, there isn't any crossplay or ability to move your account between systems so PC is a safer bet
