Iv been readying everywere that NR is kinda underpowered and that playing with the lowest amount of cards is the best; but I can't actually get a machine deck to make sense with basically no cards even your snake avatar looks disappointed in you

BabyRyoga posted:I think i'm gonna mill down northern realms to nothing, and try to get my scraps up to 3k. Maybe mill off Dagon and some other less useful leaders as well. I think new players are overestimating the "absolutely need all the cards" part and underestimating the "git gud" part. No offense obviously. You can tech hard against the meta and still have a very good chance until rank 15 or so. Spoiler: you won't have an 80% winrate vs players that bought 100s of kegs but you will still climb and not lose massive, massive value milling entire factions with a patch coming. This is a terrible idea in HS too by the way!

Whatever rocks your boat. And it wasn't NR, so there's that!

MarshyMcFly posted:Am I the crazy person if I run a 30 card deck with multiple golds? Your deck will usually be more inconsistent than a 25 cards deck which is not what you want. Unless I'm mistaken, there is currently no way of making a 30 cards deck better than a 25 cards one. That may change in the future.

Minrad posted:I think after finally having some free time to play a ton and watch streamers the past two days, the meta seems in an alright spot. Nilfgaard is a little too common, but I'm not entirely sure it's because they're too strong as it is they're just consistent so people flock to them. I find Morkvaarg decks harder to beat right now. Meta is in an interesting spot. Rank 1 deck has been a Dagon fog for the last few days and there's a couple of heavily teched NR decks going in and out of top 20. Spell ST is still strong while SK, NG spies and Monster consume/weather hybrids are also in a good spot. The only deck I'm seeing less lately is reveal NG.

No Wave posted:Total aside but Swim is by far the most enjoyable gwent streamer imo. He plays the game absolutely as it's meant to be played by giving every card a fair shot, has very good taste in decks and cards (aside from dwarves) and has a sharp eye for which as-of-yet undiscovered mechanics are abusable. Highly recommended, and educational if you can parse out when he's being genuine about how good a card is (there was one stream when he went on and on about how decent dijkstra was in CB and then expressed shock and regret when enthusiastically told him that they just crafted dijkstra). yeah and he's also #38 in ladder with them "heh, deck is kind of bad but let's play it a bit more" *stays at 3300+ MMR the whole time*

I think people are underestimating NG nerfs. Between the golems, Calveit, Vicovaro Novice and Peter they're down about 12 points before turn 3. I doubt Tibor will be unplayable at 8 but it's another small nerf to their third round bomb. This is not a small issue for a deck that usually tries to win round 1 without spending any of their big bombs. Buffs to monsters also create more problems for NG because they usually stack the front row with the Imperas and Golems. Not sure gold weather nerfs will immediately make them unplayable. Maybe. Maybe not. People were saying RnR/Drought would still be strong at 2 damage as recently as last week. Skellige is still alive because their overall card quality is fantastic, they'll just need new decks. Also lol if people still ran Queensguard: it was also already terrible and borderline unplayable.

Minrad posted:Swim's Spellige will survive, and I'm very interested in trying out a few different warcrier decks. Hell, you can substitute the hunters for warcriers post nerf, still punish frost, and even get some actual use out of the right side of wild boar of the sea by pinging all your dudes once before you warcrier. Yeah that's what I was thinking. Also people were whining about Tibor but the Albaaaaaa third round last card swing at least cost you a gold to pull off, while constantly bronze rezzing a 21 points piece of poo poo you couldn't even lock or reset always felt much cheaper to me.

botany posted:I slotted in a D-Bomb, thanks for that suggestion. That also helped against the Reavers deck. I run a D-Bomb and a Scorch in a consume/weather hybrid Monsters deck with Ciri and RnR, Crones, etc and let me tell you that if the NG player is halfway decent D-Bomb isn't even enough. This is because you need to play last in the third round for it to hit Tibor ( as we all know Tibor is always NG's last card in hand) at which point the question becomes when the gently caress are you supposed to mulligan for it. D-bomb in the first round is often a terrible draw; in the second it may not be but you can only mulligan 1, obviously getting in the 3rd round is always ideal but still requires you to either have card advantage and/or go second to react to Tibor. By the way, I don't know about you guys but my rule of thumb in the Monsters vs NG matchup is always win the first round unless I'm 2 cards up on them and have carry-over on the board, and never drop Crones early unless I'm desperate. I will D-Bomb their loving Imperas in a second if that's what I need to win the first round hard.

Estraysian posted:Played 10 ranked games today faced 10 Nilfgaard players. Patch can't come soon enough. I'm currently rank 14 with a 77% winrate against NG. Just tech a scorch and a d-bomb in your Monster deck if you have it. In a vacuum Fiend is much stronger than the d-bomb but not if every other deck is NG. Actually, let me link the deck. When I built it I thought Imlerith, Scorch and D-Bomb where questionable along with my leader choice but the way the meta is right now I'm loving every single card of it. Imlerith can net you an average 8+6+5(Roach) value while potentially removing a dangerous target (Brokvar Hunters, SK bears, Imperas and so on), and in the worst case an 8 points gold body in the third round is above average. Scorch will win you the matchups you usually can't win (spell ST, NR, the occasional Dorfs and massive Brokvar Hunters) because Monsters don't have many big dudes to drop on the board, while helping even in the favorable ones if you're careful. D-Bomb is acceptable in an NG meta (won't even win you all the Tibor matches but hey, can't find a better alternative)and absolute poo poo as soon as 80% of your matches aren't NG. And finally Eredin, the MVP. I like the flexibility of thinning your deck by two cards with the Navigator summoning another Hound, making an 11 points swing turn with the Wild Hunt Rider in those awkward situations where you're about to lose but still ahead in points, or even, in some niche cases, going for a 15 points swing with the Wild Hunt Warrior. I tried the Dagon decks before this one but my Katakans kept getting Peter'd, I had no answer to spell ST (Bekker is always loving awkward to use), no answer to Tibor and yeah Dagon can thin your deck by 1 card more than Eredin but I think he's just an inferior leader atm. I'm sure Dagon decks were great last week but they're figured out as gently caress right now it seems. Kawabata fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Jun 8, 2017 |

Darke GBF posted:Just lost a mirror match where poo poo bugged the gently caress out not once, but twice. First my Bekker's didn't reverse his Bekker's, it just swapped with the 1 drop nearest his new 10, so that was hilarious. Then one of his eggs spawned two harpies instead of one. Feels fuckin' horrible man. Bekker is used in many monster decks and isn't bugged, I don't know what just happened to you. Harpies can spawn other harpies whenever harpies are spawned right of the eggs because they can trigger deathwish.

Very good changes overall. Nerfs to harpies and dagon are more significant than people think because monsters don't really have many big bombs to drop and they need all the points they can get.

Scoia'tael might now have 2 different archetypes. Calveit nerf might mean we'll see more variations of NG (which is still strong btw). Skellige probably has all the pieces for a new deck. Northern Realms has 2 archetypes.

There's a loving Kambi deck around that's almost unbeatable unless you're running lock and have it in the hand in the third round. I wish I was trolling, I just lost to it twice with a 3 card advantage.

It's not hard when they can Stammelford tremors with 1 or more SK damage buff dude on the ground, after the Bears (a 10 point average value bronze) hosed up your harpies/foglets every time. I'm not saying it's overpowered or anything, sure you can tech against Kambi, but it's not a meme deck at all.

The deck got nerfed pretty hard (still annoying as hell to play against even when you win) but it happens to be pretty drat good at shutting down the skellige list that has completely swarmed the ladder post-patch. Against a lot of other decks it seems...bad. Or maybe just the ones I keep running into aren't piloted very well. it definitely wasn't nerfed enough, ladder is still full of mongoloids skellige storming the first row on an empty board also regardless of how aggressively bad they play they will win if you're not teched against the deck
