Old thread:

FOR DICKS

1st for magical doors

Why is NG the best faction in the game? Is it their style? Posture? Class?

We may never know.

>1st

muh order

ded

Just finished milling every ST card that i own. Which meem deck should i craft?

ST is the current meta, you fucked up

>game has the most players it ever had
>thread is dead
good job reddit

REEEEEEEEE

kys p2w scum

The choice is clear, why the reeeee

you got a Legendary you don't have, what's with the 'reeeee' ?

>tfw your opponent have 3 Blue mountain commando in his graveyard and you play Vicovaro.

A highly curious case, user.

No actual choice but a shitty legendary

I really like playing skellige but I'm not sure what I should be crafting. I have enough scrap for 1 svan or pirates. I started recently and have been decently lucky with kegs but I have yet to craft all the other factions.

The deck I'm using atm

you are gonna hate your life with Vicario Medics being everywhere my dude

Sigrdrifa is mandatory; don't play the faction until you have her.
Restore a little less so but still high on priorities list.
You want Birna Bran and Donar too.

If you're going to run Draig Bon Dhu I'd switch out the skirmishers for Queensguard. You don't even need Cerys to make it work.

You don't have enough discard synergy to make use of your pirate captains.

If I were you I would make a cheap wounding deck honestly; you already have Blueboy Lugos.

You entitled fuck its atleast 200 scraps instead of a duplicate.

Thanks I will look into the weaken deck I already have yenn too, but I need to craft the leader.

You can run Crach instead of Harald if you're willing to put in Warcry and some self-wounding synergy.

FUCK
why did they hot-fix Henselt
now my 100% easy win match up will be gone from the ladder

how are your games going today user?

Oh look all the top streamers are using ST deck.
Yeah, it's definitely time to nerf Henselt.

Has there ever been a point in time when ST wasn't stupid strong?

i'm sure they are going to nerf ST but the nerfs they need are more complex than just adding positioning effects to problem cards. the henselt/promote nerf was easy enough to do in a hotfix but ST needs a rework on a bunch of cards and mechanics.

Elves must die!

what happened to henselt?

I think i've been meme'd and crafted Ciri as my first card.
Did i fuck up? Haven't got much luck from kegs, and i'd like to play Skellige.
I did notice tho that people tend to pass really early when seeing a Ciri.

you get premium ciri for free by playing the beta and the normal version for leveling up

Only affects 7 units now.

>Henselt: Choose 7 adjacent units on your side. Convert all non-Gold units among them to Gold until removed from the battlefield or the round ends.

>Promote: Choose 3 adjacent units on your side. Convert all non-Gold units among them to Gold until removed from the battlefield or the round ends.

i think i like the new promote more

PFIs are basically garbage again, which is pretty interesting, because we'll probably see a lot of machine-henselt decks.

ded

Ever heard of the Operator?

ALBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

BLUE MOUNTAINS!

SO MANY FUCKING BUGS
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

The only good bug is a dead bug.

For me, it's the lag

Hmm, which one, guys?
I have nothing special for monsters, and Shirru for ST nonhuman scum.
I hoped for some Nilf legendary, though.

Waifu

hold still

or was it lie still
not sure

Is that a line some of them is using? Don't know which one, though...
Hard choice still.

>Ambush card have a basic force 5 until revelad.
>If you lock an ambushed card it won't reveal.

Ambush fixxed.

Was st ever balanced? Fuck, now it's the only tier 1 meta deck, fuck I want old meta back.

What is this shitty meme?

the st card says lie still or something along those lines

lie still you've not yet recovered

hes right tho

top 100 is currently ST control out the wazoo, nobody is playing anything but ST control.

>Being top 100
There's your problem

Death to all dh'oine!

Best deck to take me to rank 15? Preferably not NG or ST

skellige wounding

uninstalling

NG and ST are the only ones left. Henselt was possible but would either win big or lose big based on starting hands and what the opponent did.

Vico medics screw with the only SK archetype that works and Cows fuck with everyone's shit. Schirru is broken as fuck and ST can hit you with 4-5 Scorches on top of him plus all their ambush bullshit.

ST control. Shit is everywhere is the worse cancerous deck ever.

Consume destroys NG

Let me know how well that works for you when they Vico your vampires. You can only eat so many cows too.

Consume loses to pretty much everything these days.

NEW CARDS FUCKING WHEN

Why would they give a shit about that?

OI, YOU, C'MERE

Cows take out the things you want to eat with your Vrans since they go after the highest-strength thing to the right. Everyone will place them on the left of the Vran.

Vico into Ekimarra is a 8-point play with no downsides for them.

This. Do you have a fully-built Nilfgaard deck or a budget ST ambush one? If not, say goodbye to your hopes of getting past Rank 7 or so because anything else you can try, including SK discard or wounding, is completely fucked.

>playing decoy last second brings the target back to hand
>playing bmc last second brings the target back to hand
neat

I look forward to this getting hotfixed tomorrow

>Cows take out the things you want to eat with your Vrans since they go after the highest-strength thing to the right. Everyone will place them on the left of the Vran.

Just ekkimara them you mong.

>Vico into Ekimarra is a 8-point play with no downsides for them.

So literally a basic bronze unit.

How is this allowed?

Gwenty cards Shoop got!
Cheapestly barrels in dis land!

BMC?

how did the troll get so many damn cards in the first place?

Probably killed a ton of gwent collectors.

Blue mountain commando

That Troll in side quest who build a fence out of boats was really good at art. Maybe it's a Troll thing, and this one realized it and makes cards himself.
But most of them are Troll smut and can't be used in a proper game, so you only get 5 you could possibly show other people from a single barrel.

could be. i was kind of hoping they are going to change trolls every once in a while. i think it would be great to have that one big ass troll and his gf from witcher 2 selling you kegs.

Trying to make something that bullies Scoiacancer and Wound SK to a lesser extent. Any input?

The idea is to get card advantage with Avallac'h or a big R2 keep, Griffin the Scorch and pancake the fat sapper with a last move weather effect in R3.

Is 3 muster effects too inconsistent?
Should swap in Ocvist and/or Ciri?

>hey hey look at me I'm a rank 15 piece of shit playing ST control in casual

My ST control deck never had problems with similar decks last patch, it doesn't look very viable to me.

Whats a good scoia tael control decklist? I want to see what those netdecking niggers are running so I can kill them

>tfw trying to win 'em all, knowing you won't

So, is promote on PFI dead now? Probably a general case buff to the card but I'm considering running some ballista or siege experts instead of 3x promote in my foltest now

Just play ST like everyone else and shut up.

Join me in 2k mmr
You can play whatever you want

>get premium torrential rain and lacerate in same keg

they're commons but I haven't gotten any premiums in forever

Should I run a Lacerate or Alzur's Thunder?

Considering Henselt PFI promote is probably leaving the meta, the only good matchup for Lacerate I can think of is Ge'els consume.

might get some more traffic here tomorrow with the ps4 test.

PFI is still a strong card, don't count the poor fuckers out yet. That said, current high level meta trends seem to lean towards Alzur's. Remove Impera Brigades, axemen, all sorts of valuable things

I don't expect online card game to be very popular on home consoles.
I wonder if it's even going to be worth it for CDPR. Dev time and all the hassles of going through Microsoft and Sony every time you need to update game.

yeah, i was a bit surprised by the decision. i guess they are counting on the witcher name carrying them to get people to at least try it. it's probably why they went to console before mobile. they already have a really strong console presence and fanbase because of the rpgs.

Operator is great in certain decks go eat a dick you faggot

dead

welcome, chosen one

Should I craft Gigni or vanilla Yennifer for Ge'els consume?

Gigni because it's playable in other stuff

I've been gone a while, are spy ng legitimately good? Their chains are obnoxious

no

What is good right now
I see people saying consume and st control, how is consume not dead yet
