Ugh I can't play until the patch, I'm about to hit level 20 and I don't want to draw a leader card. CDPR make haste :(

I reached level 10, so I played a pair of ranked games to see what would happen...

Woah, so much more bullshit in comparison with casual :P :P. Tibors, Renewals, RNR, Draughts, etc. Lots of rare gold/silver cards I hadn't see appeared suddenly.

Also, today I noticed people having better decks against the typical NG decks.

Wish I had more gold cards that were being nerfed, I'd definitely powder them up and then mill them for a free legendary. The only one I have that is (maybe?) getting nerfed is Calveit.

I have 4000 scraps worth of Queensguard apparently. Still can't really believe they're going forward with this milling policy, it's over the top.

The NR machine deck might be pretty good. Sometimes when things get tuned they get overtuned and NR is seeing massive changes this patch. NG is still good, since not much will be changing. The best deck will probably be Dagon good stuff, since nothing is really changing in the deck and it's basically just getting new, upgraded options.
I should have most of the stuff for NR machines so I'll keep that in mind. Monsters is unfortunately my least developed faction; I've got two of the crones but none of the golds and I think I'm even missing a decent number of rares.


Minrad posted:

Weather monsters is probably my top pick with the fact that skellige hunter decks are eating a huge nerf. Spellige will be untouched, Spellatael and Nilfgaard decks that aren't spellgard will be weaker but only a few digits weaker, both will still be a good deck IMO. There will probably be some kind of NR deck with reaver hunters that's stronger then than it is now.

Do you have a good list for Spellige? I'd be interested to try it since I've got pretty much all the good SK cards except Wild Boar and Cerys.

Thanks to you both. I've been tweaking Reavers and managed to stabilize my win rate around 60% so I might be able to climb up to rank 12, but while I can beat weather monsters and NG spies, the various spells-only decks are kicking my rear end even with a DBomb I just opened.

If they let you craft a nerfed card and then mill it for full value for 5 days after the patch (that's kinda what it sounds like), that's nuts. Mill all the nerfed cards, craft nerfed legendaries, turn them premium, mill those for 1600 scraps.

How is anyone just coming to the game ever going to catch up lol

I don't think he mentions it in the silvers section, but Ocvist is also worth considering and I think regular Yen can work too since she's basically a fourth tremors, which is your strongest combo card.

Weather monsters is decent vs spell decks

It would only be infinite if you're willing to spend a lot of real cash on meteorite powder, but yeah I'm sure you're right. Still, a whole lot of scraps for anyone who has a big pile of legendary cards that are gonna get nerfed.

Oh I misunderstood what you were saying. But yeah I crafted premium RNR and Kayran for the patch, effectively converting dust to scraps.

I doubt they'll give you full value if you craft cards AFTER they are nerfed.

He may have lost but I absolutely love the decks he ends up making. This one with all the harpies and lesser golems that get buffed by Iris is such a hoot. He is that one streamer/player that can build both competitive decks and fun decks, that happen to be pretty good in addition to being pretty fun.

Hey, that's neat, I employed an Iris/golem combo the other night and was delighted to find how effective it is.

Iris I think has a home in my monster deck, but she's not nearly as useful across the board as I'd like.

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.
The news about nerfed premiums sounds great and I'll totally exploit it as much as I can. I just wish I read that before receiving a pack legendary with Isengrim, Cerys and loving Gaunter O'Dimm as choice.

I went for Isengrim, they have to make ambush decent one day :(

My current deck: based off this but with only the default gold cards, and teched for low ranked metagame as best I could manage.

I already noticed a few mistakes, especially with the reaver hunters at the end, but I'm sure there's more I was completely oblivious to. Very grateful for any help :)

A Gwent streamer ran a deck similar to yours recently, maybe you can get some pointers from his decklist + gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O18PcH9MKrA

Someone needs to put a stop to toruviel, this is getting out of hand.

i won 5 of 6 games i played last night using her and im getting bolder and bolder by the day

two different people got 2-0ed in ranked with 8+ cards in hand thanks to a 2nd round toruviel and an early pass

Just played a hilarious game. Dude was way ahead in round 3 and played Villetretenmerth, reasonably expecting my last 3 cards to be Reaver Hunters - except I never drew any. Instead they were two Reaver Scouts with no valid targets, and a Triss Merigold that I had to blast my own guy with to ensure Villetretenmerth couldn't hit it. Poor guy fried his own board and lost by a single point.
