Yeah, I think it went 1 keg for every 5 player levels and 1 keg for every player rank. Only the kegs bought with actual money were a 1:1 transfer.

Hit level 10 and got my ranked play placement. I played the last few levels with my mulli'tel deck because using Ragh Nah Roog wild hunt just felt too cheesy. I think I need to pick up a Saskia to replace one of my gold cards though.

This is my new elf gimmick too. saesenthesis feels underwhelming though

Toruviel card has the best art, I use my meteorite on that one.

It doesn't seem like many people play ambush mechanics so it gets forgotten about a lot too
Toruviel is my favorite card right now. I've won a lot of close games because of her, and downright stolen wins from sloppy players using her.

Can anyone explain this card: http://www.gwentdb.com/cards/50192-the-guardian

It's essentially the most base power a silver card can have but it comes with the extremely strong ability that essentially reads "your opponent can't mulligan in between rounds". That doesn't even rate a 1 power reduction? Seems like a bit much.

did you play the witcher 2? that thing was badass.

its probably a little weaker than it should be

to be clear i think it should have scorch effect too

Toruviel is the best and most fun card.

I've been experimenting with an ambush focused ST deck and it's pretty bad but ho-oly poo poo is toruviel fun and awesome. Maybe it's just the casual matchmaking I'm getting but so many people do not know how to deal with or account for her. Or maybe they just forget that she is potentially 14 strength? Either way winning the first round is amazingly easy because of the Saskia/Roach burst plus Toruviel and maybe a couple other cards into a pass as almost every time my opponent will play cards to catch up then lose to Toruviel. I only wish I could figure out a way to then win either turn 2 or 3. I realise she's good in other decks but I like playing with the new Elven Mercenaries and Dol Blathanna trappers which work in a similar fashion to Rot Tossers in that your opponent will go out of their way to try and lock/banish them.

i actually think that toruviel is better in later rounds against people who dont know to respect the threat

you can easily win a round 1 with the saskia roach, or other cards, sacrifice your card advantage, and then round 2 you can steal wins by putting down a few cards, keeping it close, and then putting down toruviel. most people will pass to maintain their lead in cards and not commit too much and i also believe most people believe theyre facing vridhedd sappers

edit last turn should be obvious, put her down whenever really unless your afraid of a lock

Sometimes I will just immediately pass to a turn 1 or 2 Yenn Con opening. I loving hate that card so much that most of the time I would rather just not have to deal with it.

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

ideally, your opponent throws his headphones off and accidentally smashes his monitor in the process after you play nausicaa standard bearers 3(5?) times, gaining you a forfeit win

I have her, a couple of elf mercenaries... hmm, worth a try? Any cheap scoia'tael cheap ambush decks worth having?
i think it's insanely fun to find ways to swing rounds using her, and elven mercenaries are a great combo. there aren't enough ambush cards to build a deck around it but you can certainly have round winning plays with the handful of cards that exist

lol wait so you can mill newly crafted cards for the full value?

That means you can get effectively infinite scraps as long as you are willing to spend $5 for per legendary. That seems uh...not very well thought out.

He's one of the best spies, card advantage is normally worth 10 points on a round where you're super ahead or behind with comeback potential.
Frightener is amazing because he dies/kills something with frost to boot.

Spy cards like that are never worth it third round, are they? unless you have a scorch to take care of the problem?

Avallac'h is just an all around good card. He is basically a 10strength gold unit for free. He is even better in decks that can thing, increasing their gold and silver draws. And yea, he is really good in Axeman or any deck that doesn't mind you playing more units, because sometimes you playing more units is a good thing.

He is one of the best gold cards in the game because he is a neutral. Hell, he might be the best gold card in the game.

yeah in tw3:twh he was the best card in the game i agree

Ambush just needs more options.

They don't have to bring back poo poo like closed beta Ciaran but they need more than the lady who hurts stuff and toruviel and 3 not so great bronzes that occassionally make your opponent waste a lock on them if they even BOTHER to lock an ambush card
