The meteorite powder is an insanely good deal for premium legendaries if you're into that. Crafting a premium legendary instead of a normal one is 800 more scraps, and dusting a whole keg ($1) gives you 50 scraps on average, meaning it costs $16 to craft a premium legendary instead of a normal. Using meteorite powder it costs $4.50! Lesson: never ever craft a premium legendary using scraps. My bet is that they ended up spending a lot of money doing the premium art and are trying to make some of it back here.

I was so right. I've opened 45 packs and gotten zero silver cards. Got offered a ton of golds though. I don't know if this is glitched because getting to choose legendaries (including premium menno, premium ciri dash) 5 times and epics 0 times seems crazy. EDIT: Got offered my first epic, finally. Not a glitch. No Wave fucked around with this message at 14:38 on May 24, 2017 |

Nobody really knows yet. Every deck will have 4 legendaries, 6 epics, and 15 rares/commons so cheaper will just be a function of how many neutral golds/silvers you can run. Before it was more about not having essential legendaries (which NR didnt really have so much, its best cards post-Pavetta were all epics).

NR is so weird. The two decks look like machines and blue stripe insanity. The BS deck is either requires extremely high iq or is pure rng, I can't tell which. The way it works is to theoretically use sergeants with henselt's ability to pull all your blue stripes for 36 power on turn 2 that all dies to scorch. You can play the muster too for 54 on turn 3 that all dies to scorch and, if you're up for it, operator your sergeant beforehand for 80-82 str turn 5 (not even very uncommon if you run adc). There's no way to stagger anything, I'm considering crafting dandelion, and I have no idea why priscilla is so bad. Send help. Also, tons of weird interactions like medic pulling sergeant pulling a single blue stripe who hops around instead of two. No Wave fucked around with this message at 15:21 on May 25, 2017 |

The way I want to use dandelion is to buff trio generated blue stripes (or just nenneke'd blue stripes) up to 6 str after 3 sergeants have been used. This will allow the 6 str medics to pull them. (I think this is why dandelion was even added) I think there must have been more trio cards at one point. Keira is great as expected, philippa is cool but I think I prefer triss and sile would be ridiculous in any other faction. Potential but still tough to smooth out. I would love old siege support or blue stripes 4 str buff guy back, that'd really solve my biggest problem. Total aside but scoia seems totally insane on paper. Guaranteed agleis every game, scorch generator, nature's blessing, and the absurd ithlienne potential. Plus they got the best premium art in the game, aelirenn.

Dudu sucks (is there a more appropriately named card?) but otherwise you will eventually find that that is an incorrect opinion. Although playing against players who don't own scorch would be great. I do wish cow was still a free card though, new players playing pwc was like a rite of passage and its moo was like the official sound of f2p gwent.

The leader changes seem great so far. They took cards that were situationally great if you drew them at the right time - like kayran, reinforcement, triss butt, etc - and made them guaranteed draws, balancing them from there. Leader strength values allow for additional balance tweaking so that we don't get into another dagon scenario either. Really cool.

Morkvarg was the cornerstone of one of the three oppressive decks mid-to-late closed beta (the monster nest, hawker healer, skellige discard rowbuff era). Skellige players still like to pretend the deck was balanced. He couldn't even be locked back then and it's a fair assumption that lock graveyard mechanics were implemented specifically as a response to Morkvarg. (I wasnt there for early closed beta where things were truly broken.) I have a personal hatred for the card after watching him hose my villentretenmerth an uncountable number of times, but to be honest there should be some card in the game that's actively good against scorch.

Unlock Calveit and Morvran first in Challenges either way. The issue is that you have lots of reveal cards, but neither of the payoff bronzes (Mangonel and spotter). Crafting rares sucks so just working with what you have, I'd just make a basic nilfgaard control sort of deck with calveit as leader, cahir, triss, geralt, emissaries, assassination, scorch, cleaver, decoy, peter, weather and chorn/dudu I guess, 3x rot tosser, 3x emissary, 2-3x nilfgaard knight, 1-2x alzur's, and I don't know what those other bronzes do but some of those. Or you can play around with 3x emissary 2x novice 1x vicovaro 3x rot tosser and some knights. No Wave fucked around with this message at 19:39 on May 25, 2017 |

Robutt posted:I'm curious, how did locking and the graveyard function beforehand and how did it work with Morkvarg? As even in the game's current state I think it's a little strange (if probably necessary) that resurrection breaks locks. How buffs are handled in general is a little wacky. A handbuffed unit shuffled into your deck from your hand keeps the buff, a normal-buffed unit shuffled into your deck from the board loses it.

I like the part where NR is helpless against all weather cards and they also made weather even stronger. What was nerfed was card advantage, not weather. What is it with them and this trash mechanic.

The issue is that the tools to deal with new weather - especially in NR - were removed for some reason. Even just having siege supports or the 4 str buff 4 would make some difference. There were a lot of tools added that punish people for not staggering their units and way fewer ways to stagger. Fog is now a double strength Yenncon that summons foglets, and it's bronze. The mechanic just doesn't work, weather-like effects should be much more mild and should be attached to units so that they don't dramatically win you the game when unanswered.

Morkvarg's not a meme at all. You put him out turn 1 every game and your cards buff him. It's the simplest possible strategy. I guess triple spores is kind of all-in though. Put a cow in there and then we're talking. No Wave fucked around with this message at 22:04 on May 26, 2017 |

I guess you could break the limit if you actually bought more than that with cash but that can't be many people. I've been enjoying NR and think there are some very fun mechanics most people haven't noticed, but it really annoys me that Pavetta is fleeting. The card's not even very strong, but it's interesting.

Celaeno Harpy They're all certainly going to get nerfed at some point, but I do think that Celaeno is actually a fun card. Maybe it can be balanced by just reducing the str of the main body. Golem will certainly at least get to set 2, although the mechanic is fundamentally OP and it would be played if it were 0 str.

I do think the game could give out ~20 packs to new players on top of the basic cards a.) because the starter cards are a little thin and b.) it would allow for more variation of the cards new players would see. If there's a problem with their system it's that meteorite dust is too cheap and the game will have trouble monetizing its super whales. There are crazy people in HS and Shadowverse who spend >$10,000 to bling out as much as they can (in the case of SV, it is almost impossible to have everything premium for any sum) and for 1k-2k you'll have every card in gwent in premium. This is totally irrelevant to anyone playing the game ofc.

T1 Tibor is the worst possible time to play him. You get much more value out of a bronze put into your hand at the start of the game than a bronze you get after your hand is empty in round 3. If they pass after t1 tibor, you also win the round down two cards which is generally worse than losing up two cards. The epitome of a killer t1 nilfgaard play is calveit into rainfarn+golems into joachim into nilfgaard knight to put you up 30+ points. (Still maybe incorrect because it might be overkill.)

They're all (with the possible exception of WHR), as far as I can tell, terrible cards so maybe they'll get to removing end of turn effects from the game entirely when they rework them as start of opponent's turn is clearer and better.

Quen's shield is so useless. I'd like shield to give weather immunity until it's popped, I think that would be neat - as is the card is more used because it hand/deckbuffs. Which isn't bad, I guess, I just think shielded could be a more interesting keyword.

Replace those frost giants with celaeno harpies asap. I also think you'd do better to run three frost wolves, three frosts (cutting alzur's thunder and a navigator) given that weather often gets better the more you have and frost wolves come with a body.

Celaeno harpy is op but very fun for the game. Lots of cool decisions around it. If it gets nerfed I hope it's something like making the main body to 3 str, or 4 to keep it really good. Or just don't touch it until it becomes a problem. The egg thing keeps the resilience below clown levels like dwarves and old nekkers.

It's possible that old pavetta broke my brain and I drastically overvalue situational epidemics but in a deck where you have reliable Thunderbolt targets she seems well worth running to me and I prefer her to philippa (I'm in the minority here). This isn't all that many decks. I also run Pavetta, as further proof that you shouldn't listen to me about this. Operator is just dumb at 9 str.

The game's already total cancer again because every single deck you face in every game mode is a top-level netdeck or the closest approximation of it. It was fun for about a week but it's already the same four decks (dwarves, nilfgaard, eredin weather, morkvarg skellige) over and over, if you're lucky, maybe control scoiatel or queensguard. This is going to continue to be a sticking point with this game. Maybe it's worse because the variance in this game is very low by card game standards so sleazing out a win with a suboptimal deck is less common. (Getting 5 out of my 6 muster cards in my opening hand, a 3% chance, happened 5/7 games today so that's not helping matters). This is what made the game atrocious (imo) by the end of closed beta. I don't know what the solution is, no card game's been able to crack it. No Wave fucked around with this message at 00:58 on May 31, 2017 |

The value of gaining an extra card isn't ten, it varies depending on the round. Nobody wants to play frightener as their last card round 3 and that can draw you a gold/silver. Tibor and Kayran are very strong because if you play them last they're 17-18 point golds almost every time. A 3 point nerf would keep them very strong but not quite as autoinclude (Tibor was good at 22 str and I played him, don't know why he was buffed). The change they'd need isn't dramatic.
