3rd post in a row but I was wondering why skellige wasn’t dominant but it turns out I hadn’t ran into a good one yet. Cerys + ESL + crowmother with lippy is quite difficult to overcome.

I’m just passing on SK matchups now.

Was running Ozzie indeed and Liggins neutralized lippy decently

Which reminds me how annoying it is there aren’t many banish options. The one cheap one with NG isn’t even available anymore and Frost Queen just adds to carry over units

Yea I spoke out of my rear end before seeing squirrel. As of now everyone is playing with the new toys anyway so not much lippy in ranked. Monsters are strong asf and I’m a full on FROSTBOY

Auberon is an absolute minimum 13 point play. Him with Ozzie is a killer finisher.

So skellige is crazy strong and I’m on the cusp of pro running them

Currently on level 1


Me! this idiot! Who learned just yesterday my 50k accumulation of ore can be used for barrels and learned such advanced strategies since posting in this thread as, looking at my deck before mulliganing a billion times and you probably should use valuable cards for valuable target trades :downs:

My deck actually uses one GS and no dagur. Rupture is stupid strong and with harald/second wind you have multiple chances to get your GS out of the graveyard

This spy deck has been pretty fun. Turns out people hate it when you invo Joachim their leaders 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ok there has got to be a way I’m just not clicking with of beating the monsters ethereal strategy. I haven’t seen any complaints of it being broken so I’m guessing there’s something super obvious I’m missing


There’s moving tall units to kind of block it but you have to have it specifically for that strategy and igni isn’t an option if you want devotion

Extremely important when trying to igni


In other news I’ve been running a killer Allgod NR deck. If the opp doesn’t keep frigate in check it’s an autowin

I’ve just been creating gimmick decks playing on unranked. Spells wasn’t too bad using NG. Bombs are a bit tougher.

It’s a grind either way but kind of funny if you gently caress around and win. Mainly because your opp hasn’t a clue what you’re doing


Arena is another way but it takes a longer depending on your draw.

Yea you can misplay several times and squeeze out a win as long as you keep a GS alive.

Yea that’s a No gg deck even more than most lol

Gonna play it 👹


Speaking of pre expansion decks that work. I’ve had the most success in tier one so far with a simple Passiflora Blood money deck because you’re barely running into bomb heaver


Edit: just put it together and feel like an rear end in a top hat just looking at it. Not sure I can bring myself to play it :lol:

Yea that’s everyone right now until SK gets an actual nerf. Honestly not sure if they’re fun to play because of the attacking style or because of the clear OP of the deck


Love getting one win before pro and hearing that loving sea shanty music in the queue screen. It’s the best

They could also just delete Great Swords from the loving game. Or change their ability to "Bloodthirst 1: Boost by 1 at the end of your turn"

Oh, no worries SK has those too! Warcriers are also fun to deal with

It’s not so much the GS as it is all of their bronzes are very strong and most other factions only have one Mork, boar, Tyr or Hemdall ace to throw out

Should have joined the dark side. I'm pretty sure the training AI could make Pro with an SK Warriors deck.

I got shamed from using sk/wanted to actually git gud so I moved to maining NR and SY. Think it’ll make a decent difference next month when surely SK is nerfed out of existence

I'm nearly undefeated against SK with this deck, and nothing makes me happier. I feel like I'm doing a public service.

Hahaha that’s awesome

Trynet just upped a pretty funny meme deck that’s also a skellige killer ALL THE DAMIENS

Honestly if you aren’t running a gimmick deck or one specifically designed to counter SK might as well just straight up forfeit in those matchups. Exercise in frustration

Probably as cheesy as double ball but doesn’t feel as bad

I just witnessed someone using Schirru to kill my manticore (?) when it was the only unit I had on the board (??) and this was his second move of the third round (???) and this is pro ladder (????)

He Manticore'd your manticore. Tbh Schirru is a rough matchup against monsters because of the tall units unless you go wide or do kikimora nonsense. Maybe he thought it was better to just eliminate your manticore value, though I'm a lowly rank 3 so I would never presume to know his dizzying pro intellect.

I actually haven’t lost with monsters against schirru yet. Push both 1st and 2nd round preferably with Haunt in the second. If they don’t have heaver they’ve been completely hosed with the crooked numbers I can put up with devours. And 5 and Belows are usually death wish units they can have


But nah the manti had no value there and rarely does with elves since they can spawn so many low units which is why I played without devouring it with leader

You actually kind of have to push both with the newer decks buffing the immune dragon for final round point slams now and a long round against that plus schirru is yikes
