So Cow+Buff+Wild Boar of the Sea is pretty legit. This is old though so Wild Boar won't buff itself and it can't protect the Chorts from Scorch but still seems pretty good.

The ironic thing about that deck is that it performs worse against people with no anti-weather. Basically all cards need their added weather affect to be on par. People who run no clear skies have it good because when all 3 rows have frost/fog my Rag Nah Roog, Storm and White Frost are dead cards.

This is cool, but are the current loading screens just a beta thing? Seems a bit ridiculous to have them between just about every screen even if they are really short.

For a public beta there's already a good number of different cards to build your deck with. I would say about as much as HS had at release, it feels like. And every card has a heavier "weight" to it because unlike HS you can count the poo poo cards on the palm of one hand.

Welp, found RNR in a keg. Still unsure whether I should replace Ciri with it in my Monsters Weather. Ciri is consistently 14 points of value distributed over 2 rounds without any possible counterplay. RNR is usually 6 to 12 in a single round because even when you use it after the frosts to try and bait clear skies, players do know RNR is probably there too so they'll still eat a frost or 2 to play around it.

RNR is honestly broken in terms of how strong it is, 6 average damage on board if they can answer, with no upper limit if they can't and on average it's the cost of a bronze card as well - clearing on average is a big loss in tempo, having to clear RNR and to a lesser extent drought really sucks - Ciri is strong, but It's much better to run RNR. The big problem with gold weathers is that their strength goes way beyond board value, unless you row stack but that just opens you up to biting frost - it’s ridiculously strong in a weather monsters deck.

But there definitely is an upper limit because the opponent can play around it by placing minions intelligently, or just pass. Not to mention damaged units can sometimes be healed/target dummied back into hand and replayed, RNR is only good in one round, and it's also somewhat more situational than Ciri. It's still a ridiculously strong card but I don't think it's always the superior choice. Kawabata fucked around with this message at 15:11 on May 28, 2017 |

Guess I'll give it a shot. Are there(or going to be) a shitload of different cards to build decks with? I like variety. There are already easily double, if not triple the rather large amount of cards seen in Witcher 3. There's a lot of variety I've seen, though I also notice that in the low levels, most everyone's drawing from the same card pool still. In terms of deck variety, each of the five factions seem to be geared towards a specific type of deck, with variant strategies within based on your leader card. Like I play Skellige, but I have a leader who can summon in help when I play him, so I can go light on units and heavier on spells and buff abilities, which I can then use to create a system where I sacrifice cards and lose a round, only to revive my fallen units in the next round, go hard on weather and ailments and overwhelm an enemy for a two-round victory. However, this is heavily reliant on having a leader card who summons in additional units, giving me a solid ace-in-the-hole. The other cards, King Bran particularly, don't seem nearly as useful, but would also call for me to restructure my deck to accomodate the new powers they bring to the field. There seems to be about 3 leaders per faction right now and they all seem pretty varied, even if every single Scoia player rocks that same lady So yeah I'd say there's a good amount of variety.

I think going first is a huge deal now. For instance, when i play against a reveal nilf deck if i got first i can get the Savage Bear down, then protect it from the siege card that does damage when revealing with my removal. If i go second i have to remove first and he gets a few turns in where my bear isn't doing damage. That can be the difference on whether i can remove one of his cards or not. Another example is against the Skellige decks with hunters. The person who gets to go first can remove their opponent's bear with the 3 damage from playing the hunter. It really feels like a coinflip some matches.

What's up with Summoning Circle? I had a choice between it and 2 other absolute crap silvers, so I took it. It seems bugged, sometimes when the opponent has recently used a gold card, it will fizzle out completely (since it can't copy the gold card) instead of creating a copy of whatever the person summoned last. Is there some weird interaction i'm missing here? Twice i've played it in games on round 3 as a late in the round move and it has completely fizzled out and done nothing. I've also played it after gold cards and had it copy the previous one played instead, so the normal interaction is that.

I don't think they intend for the card to fizzle, unless it is played before your opponent has played any units at all in any given match. How do I go about reporting a bug to get an official response on the way the card should work?

Pro Savage Bear tip: If you ever see a Foltrest deck doing that bullshit with Kaedwani Support buffing, savage bear does damage before the buff goes out, so they end up 1 behind everything else and only buff themselves. Add that to the lest of deck archetypes that gets hosed by the bear.

Flayer posted:I think the opposite, it feels like going second is actually advantageous since you can keep responding to your opponents plays while they have to try and get value out of being countered. Going first generally feels like you have to go for a generic value play (eg a Resilient unit or something you want in the graveyard or just the highest value card you have) and your opponent might have a counter. That insane 25 strength Nilfgaard gold is the epitome of a killer first turn since your opponent cant do anything except demote it or try to get Brave value. No if you drop that on your first he'll just pass and you'll probably lose the game.

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.)

It's a really popular deck for new players because it's flashy and doesn't take many pieces. The starter deck gives you 2 frost hounds, 2 frostbite and Dagon. I think the higher you go the less viable it becomes, but it's worthy of attention if only for the fact that the entry door is flooded with the archetype.
