Glad monsters can't keep gold cards on the board. Playing Geralt and then passing on the opening to me was getting old, it never works that well anyway.
It seems like they are screwing a lot of cards. Damn now everyone will have a Dimeritium bomb for the end, and I just got Lugos on a Free Keg... god damn it.
Also while I like the idea of Philippa not hurting gold units, that means that it is open season for rush-promote decks again and never ever passing on the first round against a NR player and for the love of god, you better have Scorch, Geralt Igni or Dimeritium bomb.
Also priestess of Freya not being able to resurrect each other is bullshit, it completely fucks up how Skellige is played, specially with the nerf of the shieldsmith as well.
This type of nerf will only hurt new players since this 2 units are essential for new Skellige Players, while I don't care since I think I have 3 of every Bronze unit in all the decks so I could build a new deck with no problems but for new players now it will be impossible for them to win as Skellige against other decks on the last rounds.
Hope they give full refunds on all changed cards :-x
All those people who wasted scraps on Phillipa, lol
closed beta still on?
Finally got a key and just don't really feel like playing... Weird.
I'll take it. lol
Can someone explains the An Craite Raider buff? Seems Skellige was hit pretty hard.
An Craite Raider gets played when it would have been discarded, this prevented it from interacting with cards that did something when you discarded a card like dimun pirate captain or that one boat card.
now you get to put your 4 power into play and trigger those effects.
fyi this card isnt affected by weather when revealed!!
Got my invite and played 3 games.... boring.
But why? I loved that game on W3.

Looks like someone's plan borkhfired.

Patch 0.8.16 is out now PC and XBOX ONE!
Full list of changes can be found here: http://bit.ly/2gcgab1
EDIT 2 - When picking cards from a keg, you now can see if you own the card or not.
Bought King Bran because I've been meaning to for a while. Why would anyone use this thing? Auto card disadvantage. Should give 1 card of your choice and another random one.
I was saying good bye to my skellige deck. I am gonna miss buff my priestess of Freya with ShieldSmiths for 2 rounds and then storm the 3rd round with priestess over 7 or 11 while playing a 11-15 Skirmisher. I loved you Skellige you were much more fun to play than other decks even if you weren't that flexible.
If I leave the game Open forever, will the update install itself?
Do you think shieldsmiths are terrible now? Doesn't this mean mork is unplayable too?
edit: It's nice that they buffed cerys but honestly it doesn't feel good enough, you have to devote 3 other cards to her.
I might try Bran a bit more in new skell because lugos isn't good anymore and I don't mind discarding quensguard. It will at least guarantee I see all the cards in my deck if the last 50/50 draw doesn't go my way.
Actually, DBomb may not work against promote tactics, since promotion changes base strength of the card. Dbomb will likely just remove the +2 golden buff and leave the card at 100 or whatever it was buffed to.
A simpler solution would have been to add demote cards that changed cards from Gold to Silver/Bronze.(This would become OP for Sco or other factions)
Let's see how this shakes out, but for now, continue on with buffing strats.
Shieldsmith's are pretty much worthless now. It's not worth the space at only 6 points.

The shieldsmiths feel negligible now. Basically there to avoid scorch
Definitely but like I said, scorch protection since
Wait bomb doesn't even touch promoted units in NR?
This patch is terrible.
I think I read that when a unit is promoted its current strength becomes its base strength. Which doesn't make sense really, I hope they'll change it. As it is, you either bomb before they promote (but they could easily buff them again) or you don't use it and it's the same as before the patch.Wait bomb doesn't even touch promoted units in NR?
This patch is terrible.
Apparently it's just the +2 lmao
