I can't decide on this trio of cards:

Pavetta
Ocvist
Peter Saar Gwynleve -- this one is holographic or whatever, the guy moves

They all seem kind of interesting...I don't play Nilfgaard much, but Peter seems really useful? Is he better than the other two?

You should already have a Peter from the starter deck. According to http://gwentify.com/card-picker/ the choice is Ocvist. I've never seen Pavetta played against me.

It says I do not own any of them.

EDIT: OH I guess it's cause I don't own any holographic Peters

well gently caress playing as Nilfgaard time to add another dragon to my ranks

Probably would have picked the holo Peter there, he's getting a nerf so that would have been a free legendary.

So what Golds should I invest in with 2,7 scrap I now have if I wanted to branch out from Monstering? I don't have any Gold Neutrals that weren't given to me at the start and, like, Zoltan for Scoia'tael.

Got nearly 4k scraps without any shenanigans at all, just milled everything that was nerfed. Pretty much enough to build one full deck, just got to make a good decision as to which one..

Remember, at least until the open beta ends: Do NOT press that mill spare cards button! I just got 6000+ extra scrap because of the nerfed duplicates I could mill.

Until I have at least one properly competitive deck I value 1000 scraps now over 2000 scraps later.

I have both Yennefer and Triss Butterfly gold cards, which are a nice buff for 'lots of units on the board' decks, so I will try to make a spam monster deck with them. But I don't have Iris, or the full crones, or Geels or or Caretaker anything fancy like that. Let's see what I can do then with good ol' commander's horns and thunderbolt potions...

I have some fire scorpions and mangonels now, maybe I can try a true reveal deck.

Monsters is what you want for that. Iris is fun but probably one of the weaker cards given that it's one of your only cleaver/auckes/donar targets.

11k scrap and ready to roll.

Did anyone get that +30 scrap per keg bought? My account didn't have any extra scrap from that.

It's being rolled out at a later date. It takes time to verify purchases and give it out. I actually think someone is maybe doing it manually, as I randomly got about 3k scrap from something, which i'm assuming would have been one of my keg purchases.

So can I still craft a rag na rog and then mill the premium to double my scrap? Or is it only ones crafted before the patch?

Cool.

Also buying Meteorite powder and Animating cards that are getting nerfed worked really nicely. I can finally expand non-Nilfgaard decks beyond Geralt/triss golds.

Tested this by crafting Vicovaro Novice and then milling it (Non-premium as I have no dust left)

-80 to make and +80 to mill. Seems to accept new crafts for full milling value.

Go hogwild and get the rares you always wanted.

Nice. I had a premium vicovaro medic which milled for 400 so I can afford the 800 now and had enough dust built up from level & rank rewards to premium rag.

Love the 800 free scraps. Now I can craft all the monster cards I wanted :haw:



Any advice on any small tweaks I could do to this deck? Maybe swap out one of the behemoths for a 3rd harpy? I could craft the crones also but it's a lot of my scrap :ohdear:

Do Blue Stripes Commandos only spawn one base version for the entire trio? I thought it put one for each of them in the deck. Threw together an Igni Me Please deck for the first time in open beta and ran through my entire deck in a game and only saw 4 Commandos total. If so, what's the point of that ability? It seems to be antithetical with the Kaedweni Sergeants because if you have used any of them before the Trio ability then you can no longer pull the fourth Commando from your deck unless you do it manually, which isn't really worth it.

Yeah, it is one base version for the trio, I thought it was really weird too. Best use I found for it was if Foltest is your leader, Reaver Scouts (or, for a longshot, well-fed cow) gets buffed up to 3 from his leader ability which you usually use on turn one, so they will summon the base commando. Also can summon Ves, if you have her, which isn't the worst case in the world, since she will be one strength higher than Kaedweni Sergeants so she will protect them from scorch.

You could also use Dandelion to buff them up in your deck and summon them with something else, which would fit if you were playing Henselt and sergeants buff everything to 6, rather than Foltest. Personally, I like Foltest better, and also I don't have Dandelion.

Even I, a fairly baby gwentler, now have 5300 scrap. :toot:

some of which may admittedly go right back into cards I busted up

Now I just need to figure out how I want to build my new and upgraded monsters deck.

Lol, I'm finding more bullshit matches now, not less, in comparison with before. The reason, despite having a balance patch? The extra scrap everyone has, people are using it to craft the most OP cards so they appear even at lower levels. I had 2 Tibors in 3 matches, and I had barely fought against him before.

Yes, yes... just commenting the status of the game right now.

I'm actually waiting a few days until the dust clears up to see what's best to craft.
