I played this during the original beta and it was really good. Stopped playing when they completely hosed the game up by ruining it's identity and I can't say I'm surprised they have basically cancelled the game for now and are going for a re-release. If it comes back like it was in the original beta, just with way more content, then I think it could still be great. Dial down the notoriously labour intensive art if that's what it takes but keep the gameplay unique like it was.

I think there's also online clients for their game of thrones and legend of five rings card games. No idea about their star wars stuff tho.

Lmao playing arena, somehow got an incredible 14 gold draw. Thought I had no chance of losing. Somehow managed it though, first two times by just getting awful draws and the third time pretty spectacularly by drawing all golds, opponent flat passes, I play gaunter thinking it's a safe way to get rid of an unpredictable card. Guess who successfully guesses and gets themselves Saesenthessis: Blaze, banishing all their golds and replacing them with a bunch of trash. Lmfao. So mad right now. This game.

At least you got your maerolorn portrait. I did the same play with gaunter in the same situation once and got yarpen, so clearly I'm the more skillful player.

Also if you want to farm the scoiatel border quickly the strongest deck right now appears to be brouver shupe. It's busted because barclay is op and you get to play him three times (play once, hattori, shupe hunter mega decoy), and because you can make yaevinn always draw shupe if he's your only spell. Not a balanced deck but with all the morons in low ranks running shackles and artifact compression it's no fun to play more synergistic decks. (I tried playing a big dragon deck for a while but after getting artifact compressioned by a henselt I had to stop) Brouver's definitely reached the point where he's a big problem and the counters have stopped working now that his decks focus entirely on getting a strong round 3.

I don't understand the "Gwent is dead" mindset. Yeah, they're going to fix a few egregious cards, like Wardancer, in May and then the game's not going to change again until October. But, with the exception of a few egregious cards, like Wardancer, I like the way the game currently is. I plan to be perfectly happy playing this version of the game for the next 6 months.

More power to you but I think you're very much in the minority. Even if the status quo is fairly balanced, I would say most people find games like this get stale quickly without regular infusions of content

I like the game but don't see much value in spending much time on it if there isn't change/forward momentum.

Getting to win a lot for the ~100 or so games I play per month probably has a lot to do with why I still enjoy this game. But there isnt much reason to play past rank 20 anyways, so it seems fine. I actually have no problems with the state of the game right now, as long as I'm playing not very good opponents it's hard to notice things like coinflip or create deciding games.

I do think it's crazy that players have to play with red outlines in the tournament client. I would misplay an awful lot if I had to deal with that. At least it mitigates the effects of coinflip a bit by making the red player confused.

Guess I chose the wrong time to jump back into this to see how the game was these days. Doom and gloom everywhere. it's at least nice to be proven right about the reasons I dropped the game. I suppose I'll just uninstall until October after I get tired of messing around. I'm also excited to see how badly wizards screws up digital magic (again) and how stupid the dota thing will be!

Ladder's really not that bad, especially if you only start climbing halfway through the season. I actually enjoy it quite a bit You will be playing a game that the developers have sort of soft-abandoned though so it does feel a little weird. Things happen like getting back the things you mulled in arena over and over and nobody working on the game seems to care or even notice, it's really odd.

Yeah I'm actually enjoying ladder right now. It's pretty refreshing to play this again  Whenever I get annoyed I'll just stop. Random question: It seems like a lot of people are playing brouver for the brouver>barclay>cleaver tempo play, how come people don't use Francesca for that instead? Seems like you can always set it up so that you can play her to fetch barclay (who then fetches cleaver), isn't that more power? What am I missing here? E: oh I guess it's just for the one extra card worth of deck thinning? troofs fucked around with this message at 00:36 on May 1, 2018 |

Francesca is 3 more points than Brouver and boosts Barclay by 3 = 6. Value of the bronze you swapped away? 11-12.

Because Brouver + Barcley + Cleaver is a 26+ points play and Francesca is a 7 point play.

I get the whole idea of single card power off of brouver it just seems like it would be pretty easy to squeeze out a few more points with francesca by swapping the wardancer you were going to mulligan anyway or barclay himself or something. It's not like people don't use two turns to set up the cleaver target anyway. I guess I am undervaluing the one-card-bomb aspect of it, and the francesca version is harder to use Yaevinn with too. Thanks for the responses.

The immense tempo and the ease of creating a no win situation for your opponent where they have to choose between losing on even or winning two cards down is the primary reason to play the combo and wouldn't really work with Francesca.

The brouver barclay cleaver combo (BBC) is 26 points. Basically, if you spy then BBC on red your opponent has to have played 13 points the first turn to not be behind if they pass after the spy is played. With a wardancer on the board that number goes up to 16+, which is why for example oceanmud is running golyat. It's fairly rare to be able to play 16 points with no setup without removing a win condition from your deck. If your opponent plays another card after your spy brouver can just pass and will lose the round up two cards (and most brouver decks are nova decks - giving nova decks CA is devastating). You can answer their spy with your own spy, but a.) you need to draw it and b.) that makes you vulnerable to wardancer. It's something that you can theoretically answer but has a very high chance to put brouver up two cards whenever he's on red. On red the combo is much less scary and BBC being a 26 point play is less threatening. The deck got a lot stronger once everyone put nova in it. The leader with the best consistent play on blue vs brouver is king bran - if you bran turn 1 then answer their spy with udalryk you'll be almost even after the combo thanks to wolfsbane and you'll have more carryover than an unbuffed wardancer (assuming you discarded olgierd), answering the biggest threat brouver has. The problem with bran is that his matchup against everyone besides brouver isnt very good and the greatswords matchup is downright embarrassing.

I think it's pretty bad now, but like an imlerith sabbath deck, there are specific types of decks that can't really stop them. I guess that keeps it going

Yeah, it was just weird. I didn't see one the entirety of last season, and suddenly seeing three within an hour was just bizarre. Also, my deck appears to be one of the ones that just can't beat them.
