Is there something before this clip that explains why shooting a dwarf with thunder is interesting?

Edit: Oh, I see. He's supposed to have a second thunder which he'd have to use on his own unit, but he clicks fast enough that they both are considered used, like when the arachys queen gets robbed of devours.

There are currently several bugs that trigger based on clicking too quickly. With Emhyr you can pick up your opponent's cards.

So is Gwent. It was better mechanically in the closed beta, despite how terrible the starter decks were.

This is absolutely not true, and is rose colored glasses of the most blatant type. Gwent was at its absolute best just before the mid-winter patch.

If they clean up the bugs, and do something about create effects granting silver spies, the game will be just as good as it ever has been.

I love that they focused so much on E S P O R T S instead of fixing the game

Ok, I'm not defending how buggy and fucky the game is right now, but it was fine until a month ago, and since then I've seen no focusing on eSports and plenty of focus on repair. Also, it's not like the same people do both things anyway.

Alternately, I'm pretty sure the PS4 doesn't have cross platform play, so nobody has an advantage over you.

Well, they track the opponent's play as well, which can help figure out their deck build. Like, until I see a third of a bronze I'm clutching my Scorch with white knuckles.

I'm saving scraps now to craft the usurper for a fun deck based on the create mechanic. I also want to make a dragon theme deck later on when I have more cards.
My current Usurper deck looks like this. It's actually been a lot of fun, wins surprisingly often, and has helped me learn a lot about how the other factions play.


Usurper

Uma
Avalla'ch the Sage
Cahir
Muzzle

Summoning Circle
Stregobor
Dazhbog Runestone
Dorregagray
Portcullis
Decoy

Doppler x 3
Vicovaro Medic x 3
Slave Driver x 3
Ointment x 3
Magne Division x 3


Always Mulligan away ointments, use a couple slave drivers in round one so that you have something to resurrect with your ointments, and if you win round one don't be afraid to play the Usurper in round two so that you don't brick Cahir in round three.

Oh, and if it's round three and you have a Magne Division in your graveyard and one in your hand, don't forget that when you play the one in your hand you should use the ointment to resurrect the one in your graveyard, and then use the ointment that that one grabs to resurrect a unit. It's three points that is easy to miss.

Row restrictions is in the same category as gold immunity. It going away made the game strictly better, but it's further from the original Gwent so a vocal minority who hate change can't get over it.

So the spy turn delay thing was apparently a localization issue. In reality the change to them is that summoning circle can't create them, and each instance of them can only activate its deploy ability once per game, so decoy doesn't do anything.

Impera Enforcers should be "do 2 damage, repeat whenever a spy appears" along the lines of Mangonels. This retroactive attacking thing is dumb as poo poo.

Some golds in this format are worse than some bronzes and silvers, though. This last run I was actually mulliganing away golds.

yeah that's a super cool anecdote but on average golds are worth more points than silvers or bronzes

Except in a format like Arena, where synergy cards like Brewess: Ritual and Letho are literal garbage.

Like I know you were all excited to be a snarky piece of poo poo, but maybe actually read my point. I never said "golds are normally worse than bronzes". I said some are. Even if you get 10 golds 2-3 of them might only be worth 10-15 points.

I can't tell if you're trolling or just unbelievably stupid, so I'm just going to assume that it's both it's stop replying to you after this post.

In Arena the color of the cards matters less than the synergy between the cards. This is true in constructed as well, except in constructed you can guarantee that you have synergy between your cards, so the golds and silvers are inherently stronger than bronzes. A player with 11 gold cards, 7 silver, and 7 bronze could have a worse-performing deck than somebody with three gold cards, 8 silvers, and 14 bronzes if the person with three gold has better synergy between their cards.

No poo poo a gold is better than a bronze in a vacuum, but the true luck in draft isn't "who got more golds", it's "who got more cards that work together".

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.

This story makes me love Gwent even more.

Edit: Obviously, if it had happened to me I'd have uninstalled and thrown my computer out the window.

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.

If you consider releasing a balance patch, a hotfix, and the coolest faction battle prize they've done so far as essentially abandoning the game, sure.

I mean yeah, I get that the announcement of the revamp has left some things up in the air, but all of y'all act like they shut down the servers the instant they announced Homecoming.

IIRC they said you will be able to dust your cards for full value.

Annoyingly enough, the current plan is that everyone's entire collection will be automatically dusted.

I guess it's the only way to make sure nobody misses the window, or whatever.
