If you are like me and never played any of the witcher games except for Gwent, they are all heavily discounted on Steam right now.

Don't buy Witcher 1, it's really really bad.

It's not quite THAT bad, it's about as bad as Two Worlds 1. And way less optimized. And barely anything relevant to the next two games happens so I suggest just reading a summary of the plot on Wikipedia.

Morkvarg suffers for your T1 deck.

I have a Premium Avallac'h, is there any serious deck that uses him? I hated him in Witcher 3 and could use some excuse to dust this legendary

He can really gently caress over decks like Spy Nilfgaard or Queensguard by drawing the cards they wanted to pull for "free".

Ciri Dash only works in very specific decks while Tibor is in pretty much every Nilfgaard deck.

Unlocking a locked card resets it to normal before buffs right? If something locks my Ekimara, will it get resilience back?

Mostly yeah. It depends on if the resilience is a deploy ability or passive. If it's passive then you'll get it back if you unlock that unit. IIRC Ekkimara is passive.

Just tried to Dimeritium Bomb my opponent's Unseen Elder. :v:

Xtanstic posted:

Are Crones good? It feels like a trap given that decks are limited to 6 silvers. My brother has been complaining that he lacks flexibility since he has 3 crones + weather/lock mages.

If you can afford to effectively run only 3 silvers, then yeah.

So if Borkh/Villentretenmerth is demoted and is the highest value unit on the board he'll just Scorch himself and then not do the 2nd Scorch because he's dead. I'm not sure if that's a bug or not, seems like the 2nd Scorch should go off.

Yeah unless you know 100% that there will be a better opportunity you should probably use him when you can kill ~15 points of stuff with him. I've definitely been screwed by getting too greedy and waiting too long. Some decks don't really have a way to move units so you can wait until the last minute though.

Swim's Spellgaard deck is pretty incredible, probably because people don't know how to play against it yet. It's basically Spell ST but with Nilfgaard.

EDIT: A deck tracker is reaaaally useful for this deck.

Yeah there's not really any counter to Dbomb in that deck since the Enforcers aren't agile.

Skellige Storm is going to get nerfed so hard. I'm guessing it'll be 1/1/2 instead of the 1/2/3 it is now. So better than Frost on a board with less than 5 units, better than Fog/Rain hitting one unit, but worse in other cases.

Seriously? White Frost is niche as hell and Merigold's Hailstorm is usually just a worse D-Bomb.

Hailstorm isn't even a weather is it? It's just a nuke I thought. Most weathers might as well be nukes, they are cleared extremely quickly. White Frost actually has a chance of staying on the board when used in monster decks that have 3 normal frosts and Caranthir, though.

Well yeah I guess it isn't anymore.

No I'm speaking as someone who is using it. And most decks don't have the luxury to drop down golds(besides leader) whenever they want.

Yeah Cynthia is generally just a silver Geralt that reveals a card. There are definitely better NG silvers but she's still pretty solid, especially in a reveal deck.

I was playing consume the other day and noticed nekkars being proc'd off of, I think, effects where you choose cards out of an option like water hag and ge'els. I honestly don't get it

It's just a bug from a previous iteration of Water Hag I think.

ST slightly weaker, Skellige much weaker, Nilfgaard pretty much the same aside from golem nerf, Northern Realms machine decks might actually be good now?, Monsters buffed.

EDIT: Skellige Storm is left to right now for some reason.

^^^^ Frost is not being changed anymore.

I guess it means spawned units won't get hit for 3, which is probably a good thing for monster decks.

Magic Underwear posted:

I saw a game of spell NG played and didn't really understand it. I guess the idea is to have nothing but gold units and disruption, thereby making opponent disruption cards useless? How do you ensure your enforcers promote?

You draw a lot of cards and manipulate the order of your deck with Leader ability x 2 with Cahir, Cantarella, ect. It's very consistent but sometimes you just garbage luck. I've went from rank 10 to 15 in the last few days with it though so it's obviously strong.

Somebody noticed that in the stream Impera Enforcers were changed to look at the top CARD in your deck now, not unit. So RIP Spellgaard.
