Not really once they patch out the vicovaro novice spy/emissary combo.
You have to keep in mind that there are a lot of people that played in closed beta where Nilfgaard wasn't very competitive. Now that they're pretty good it's like a whole new faction to play with.

I loved Gwent on Witcher 3 but I'm not really enjoying my time with this one. I tried playing for the last 3 days but I think this version just isn't for me. I might come back once the single player campaign comes out (I got really interested about the RPG aspect of it from the gameplay I saw).
Played Swims new deck only and went like 8-2 or something? Or 9-3 or something like that. And got rank 13 and the 5 kegs for getting there, 1 had Xarthisuis in it too. Good times. Still just outside top 1000, but I'll take that for today I think. Seeing as only 13 people are rank 16. So 13 is pretty high now.
Oh yea, climbed back to 22 wins over my losses now too.

The Spellgaard deck?
Yea, I guess it will suck in a few days though once more people use it/see it and know what it does and try to find a counter.
Swim had been phoning it in lately. This one actually looks decent. Hope it's still abusable when I get home later.
I really hope they do so, to increase profits. CD Projekt deserves this.

Ran into a Reaver Henselt deck and countered the shit out of it. He had 4 since he used Operator round 1. Round 3 he uses Nenneke to put 3 back in the deck then places one down for the Henselt wombo combo. As soon as that first one comes out I play Sweers and send the 3 Reavers straight back to the graveyard. By the end he had nothing to use Henselt on lol.
Sweers might be my favorite card in the game. He doesn't always work but when he does. Oh boy

What is the deck like?

I see. I was not in the closed beta so I had no idea about that. It makes sense, esp the bolded part.
I guess its better this way.
It should. Someone completely destroyed (well, it was still somewhat close...) me by using that gold card that banishes 2x2 adjacent cards + Dimeritium Bomb.

Have you seen this video by Noxious? Not sure what his actual win rate vs Nilfgaard with the deck, but he does pretty good in these two games.
You just spam spells/weather while thinning the deck. Then last round you plonk down Bork while you keep pulling out golden enforcers so nothing on your own board dies. It's a bit tricky though, since you have to make sure you have a golden unit in your deck. But it's super funny to play.
Meh, number 1 and 2 don't tend to be god like greatness. It's just people who know how to abuse the ladder. I've spent time as number 1 before and I always do middling in tournaments.
Yeah, I still don't think he is supposed to work like that.

Yeah Letho is kinda broken :/
It can decimate so many different kind of decks. It can jack up queensguard, reaver decks, dorf decks, just about anything.
edit: The banish is what hurts the most.
Which deck are you playing?
Not fun to play against, for sure. Hardcore weather spam can easily defeat 3x Clear Skies + Mage. I was in that situation before.
I hope so. He did that to my cards, got a value of close to 40, I think. I was like: "Hm, I can still win this round". Then Dimeritium Bomb killed me (at least he didn't wait, making it an easy pass, mistake on his side).
Variations of nilfgaard.
Yeah, he should be raising base strength not power. I understand they changed him to be in line with tibor and kayran and that one guy from skellige but it doesn't make sense for Letho since you also just banished your opponents units from the game.

Played to level 5. winning more than losing and I'm not as frustrated with it as I thought I would. I am getting overwhelmed by some custom decks already so I need to build one quick.
Not sure of the unit name (northern) but I realized the strat of using the DUN BANNER HEAVY CAVALRY to pull the armor off two of my own REDANIAN ELITES and boost them both. I won several games just doing that and then boost them with a potion. It's a great base to build on.

Is there a reason right clicking on graveyard isn't working atm?
edit:
I cut the combat engineers from my nilf deck and now I don't have to worry about getting that engineer in rounds 1 + 2 to prevent it from showing up in round 3. In it's place I put in vicovaro medics, which revive a bronze card. These are actually really good. Even if your opponent has no bronze cards of their own, they'll probably have your spies! So it's like another safeguard against not getting spy refill. Along with rainfam i think my deck's consistency has improved a lot.
I will probably craft cantarella, but now I am wondering how good the card actually is. http://gwentify.com/cards/cantarella/ Mainly because it cannot be triggered with vicovaro novice.
edit2:
Apparently cantarella summoned by rainfarn is the goodness, so yeah I can see this card making it's way into my deck easily.

Speaking of graveyards, I wish they would make it so I could view my graveyard during the 2nd, 3rd draw phase.
Or generally during whenever phase of the game. When your opponent is selecting cards, you can't do anything.
Yea this is one of my biggest complaints. Can't see anything while I choose or after I choose.
Also need to see either graveyards between rounds and mullligans
Yes I wish they would let us do this very much.
That's being looked at by CDPR.

The board should act the same during mulligan as it does during the round. I agree completely. I also want them to remove that black screen whenever you're waiting on your opponent to mulligan.
I played about 800 matches in Closed Beta and I was dead on 50/50. lol
Just wait till you get above rank 10. It will be even more Tibor.
Can't wait for tibor to be dead shit in like a week. Shame because he isn't even broken.
How is it up there? Everyone playing Nilfgaard?
He is. If your opponent starts round 3 it's an auto 25 power card without doing anything.
