ShowTime posted:Uhhh this is basically one of the worst things i've ever read of someone doing in Gwent. You should never mill cards, because there will not be another reset and who knows how long or how much scrap it's gonna take you to get it all back. You also used it to build into arguably the worst faction at the moment. So you have a pretty tough uphill battle ahead of you. NR is gonna get tuned for the better but it who knows how long it's gonna take. Oh I know about henselt reavers! And I knew what I was getting into with milling all those cards. When I play card games I typically try to pick an "theme" and go for it rather than trying to optimize completely. I don't like how monsters/scoi'tel look/play but I do like NR, Nilfgaard, and Vikings! I was just wondering if NR siege/machines had some powerful combo I was missing out on rather than just redeploying things over and over to damage the enemy. Iv also had some luck with making reinforce trebuchetes and Prince Machineguy resilient. Megazver posted:Yeaaah. I'd maybe make a fresh account and not do that again. I don't have any interesting in playing Monsters/Scoi'tel though? Like back when I played MtG people called me crazy for sticking to a one color white deck but it's what I had fun with and I didn't like the other factions themes

I consciously milled all my Monsters cards because gently caress Monsters, I dislike their mechanics and for some dumb reason I also dislike the idea of playing as the monsters. I intend to build decks for all the factions eventually except that one. I'll get plenty of fun and variety out of four factions and if I'm never going to play that one then

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

No I thought the same thing when I started playing. Then I got bored of that faction and went to the next faction, and then the next faction and so on. I now have a deck for every faction because variety is the spice of life. This game is very small card wise and while you might be able to stick to one faction later on, right now you really can't before you get a little burnt out. Sometimes that deck you are playing is just getting poo poo on by the meta or gets nerfed to hell and having options will prevent you from being forced to play a lovely deck.

I pulled Morkvarg. Is there A deck I can make that utilizes him with about 1600 scraps? I don't think I have many other power silvers/golds for Skellige.

Medic shuffling cows is hilarious. Doing it with Pavetta is even funnier. Though I bitch a lot game is really fun right now. Last night I found that Dijkstra and avallach makes reaver hunters weird and fun, and Dijkstra has some peculiar interactions.

No Wave posted:Medic shuffling cows is hilarious. Doing it with Pavetta is even funnier. I got into a medic shuffling/reaver scout/emissary chain (like deploying emissarys I had shuffled into my deck) playing against a Nilf player. I play with around 33~ cards and I summoned almost every bronze unit in my deck by the end.

He pairs REAL well with Wild Boar of the Sea, which would take about half of your scraps. Put Brokvar Hunters in. You pull out Mork with Crach an Craite, put Wild Boar down to buff him, put another card to the right of Wild Boar to get damaged by it, and Brokvar Hunter next to that to get buffed by the card taking damage. Have three priestesses for rezzing your super hunter(s) in rounds 2/3. Throw in some savage bears to completely neuter vico medics and enemy priestesses and some shieldsmiths for extra strength buffing and you've got a deck. Add in some Mardoeme's for resetting super-boosted cards and bloodcurdling roar for making bears out of your 1 strength units or clearing cow carcasses. Cleaver for unlock/lock or Donar if you have him.

I really wish they would reduce the cost of crafting non-silver and gold cards, it seems like a waste. Seems like if I want a competitive deck, i'll need to mill stock stuff, not sure if I want to do that.

I really wish they would reduce the cost of crafting non-silver and gold cards, it seems like a waste. Mork works in any skellige deck, really. He's a great card regardless of whether or not you get strong synergy going. Just throw together what you have and add in the stronger cards as you find/craft them. The good news is that there aren't a ton of cards yet so it won't take too long to grind up a decent stable of cards. I don't recommend milling down your other factions unless you know for sure you won't want to play them in the future.

Megazver posted:Keg time! Without knowing what other golds and silver you have and what the factions you like, Saskia seems the best choice, as she fits any ST deck. But so does Woodland Spirit to be honest. Rainfarn at first may look the poorest of the three, but he is a key card in NG OP deck.

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!

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. I mean, I've been playing starter monsters + a Ciri card I pulled in one of my first kegs since the beginning, and I still have roughly 60% overall winrate thus far. I'm at the point where my goal would be to construct a very strong competitive deck, and move up with that deck while constructing another very strong competitive deck of a different faction. I just don't like NR so I milled it completely except for premiums. Even if it was OP as poo poo, I wouldn't play it. I don't think I will mill ST even though I don't see myself playing it any time soon. I'm sick of monsters with weather, but i'd like to try consume if I can pull some cards for it.

Yeah it's a beta and we don't know what the meta will be next week or next month or next year, so tossing all of those cards that you don't want now will suck if the next patch makes them cards you want. Just make whatever deck and accept the fact that you'll run into a few whales with a fully stacked deck they bought. And enjoy when you beat them with your scrub-tier deck because they have no idea how to play

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

Is playing anti-gimmick viable in this game? To me the only really appealing thing is playing to gently caress with what the other player wants, running gimmicks and praying to the RNG gods isn't really fun IMO.

I think Scorpion are the better of the two. I also experimented a little with spies and they do not work, you'll draw everything wrong. I'm thinking of trying weather next. Running RNR, Drought and Vattier(or Cahir)/Leo, in golds, maybe Skellige Storm in a silver, and a couple of bronze weathers.
