My cheap F2P skellige discard deck seems to be working alright.
I have Sigfrieda (revive any non-gold, and +1 str when anything is revived).
I have the gold draw 2 discard 2 guy.
The silver draw 1 discard 1 guy.
Geralt.
3 priestesses (revive a bronze)
3 pirates (discard other pirates from deck) for deck thinning.
3 of the "if discarded, revive this dude" guy. I think I'll take this down to two.
2 of the "if revived, add +4 base str" dude.
3 of the "add 2 base str to a unit" dude.
Commanders Horn
First Light x2
Scorch
D-bomb
Lacerate x2
I know I eventually want Brinna Brann or whatever her name is, the disloyal "draw 3, keep 1 and discard the rest" unit. I also want Decoy and Last Wish at some point. That means 3 spots need to be opened up on this list. Geralt seems like he should go since he lacks synergy. But that's 12 power on a gold body. I really think I can drop the "if discarded, revive" dudes down to 2. They aren't that good anyway. And probably then drop a single Lacerate.
I don't know what optimal discard skellige looks like.
Also if I ever open a Cerys I'd add Queensguards, I guess in place of the "if discarded, revive" dude.
