What makes Seltkirk better than, say, Triss? 7 power shoot for 7 is pretty close to 10 power shoot for 5.

Seltkirk is 8 str and 3 armor which means he can kill an 11 without taking any return damage, or something even bigger while taking a hit himself. Far better than vanilla Triss.

Sabbath is such a lovely binary card that either wins you the game or does nothing. I've seen people praise the design but I really don't get it, they should completely rework it imo. In other news, there was an AMA with Burza on the official forums and apparently CDPR are working on a solution to coin flip that involves giving each leader an initiative stat which determines who goes first. Seems like an easily exploitable system unless they balance it well.

I'm glad people netdeck Swim so much because playing against this Ocvist deck is basically just free mmr.

Greatswords and some version of Henselt machines are probably the two T1 decks currently though the difference between T1/2 isn't as big as it's been in the past. Consume is certainly up there and isn't seeing much play, which just helps its win rate since people wont be teching against it. A single mandrake doesn't do anything to counter consume. Deathwish is probably a solid T2.

...is there actually a difference between mulligan and swap? :psyduck: I thought it was just a rename.

It is just a rename. Though I think Ves used to blacklist before the rename, which she doesn't anymore.

After seeing MTG:A and Artifact I'd rather play dead Gwent than sit around waiting for those.

Yeah I'm taking a break for 6 months for sure.

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

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.

That just looks so much worse than current Gwent. Homecoming has been such a disaster from the start.

Initial impression of homecoming PTR is that all the cards are really boring now.

Thronebreaker looks cool at least

Is it just me or the starting decks suck major rear end? At least the Monster and NR ones, I've been trying to win with them all day long and I feel like they don't have much synergy?

All the starter decks are extremely poo poo. If youre coming into this without lots of scraps from pre-HC youre gonna have a miserable time

I run out of row space after 3-4 turns of upgraded drummer spam so I'm not sure what I'd do with extra cards anyway

I'm not surprised Swim swapped back, he used to get more viewers playing Gwent than Artifact has total players.
