I love Artis but how anyone thinks that he deserves to be 10 prov is madness. Make him 6 power otherwise he'll be auto include in every selfwound deck and either he'll be gutted or another selfwound card will be ruined (poor sigvald)
I agree with you on the Renfri argument. Though I think Neutral deserve a spot in the game, I think Renfri is simply the bread for too much butter than goes along with it too easily. We can't nerf the cards that reap the benefits of Renfri, and doing so might kill those cards. But we can certainly give brainless players a better reason to build a Renfri deck by putting more thought into the higher sacrifice margin of provisions.
Why make musicians unplayable though? Is 3 points really game breaking? Agree with everything else
I don’t even have a deck with it but doubt is see it ever again at 2 power, only thing it does is give me a tell to their deck
Its gonna be playble with 0 for 4, cuz its free thinning. Its mist have for keķkers and compass decks
Glad to see you didn't go for the kiki worker nerf
When paired with the self wound 3 power 5 provision damage the unit to the right by 1 boost self by 2 cuktist, blue boy is technically a 2 per turn damage engine. The strange thing with self wound is that the value isn’t just the objective change of points at the end of the round. If the 5 provision engine I mentioned earlier was damaging just a generic unit, it would be effectively a 1 per turn engine in net points. However if the card being damaged is generating 1 additional point every time it took damage, it pays back the loss of points through self damage. Blue boy lugos has that effect but better by one point, effectively allowing the package of him plus that bronze cultist to be a 3 per turn engine package. My point is not that blue boy doesn’t need a buff, but rather that this is not the right reason as to why. Once blue it takes 1 damage, he’s down to 5 power, making him vulnerable to removal. A power increase therefore nets him an average of 2 extra points of value - 3 if you run him with the cuktist i mentioned
I really like the Artis idea gonna change my vote around
I want buffs for Boris and Hemdall
very good. for me also tinboy. and king of beggars killed madame luiza right? could buff her
For Fence I play 1 copy in an Off the Books deck and she's really good for getting out of r1 since she plays for 10pts if you've a full pouch (tigers eye and fisstech are usually how I do that)
really hope Artis go to 10p this time arround
Get the animated Olgierd! its one of the best premiums in the game!
Will do
I hope to see Vice decks playable again… 😔
After a 5-year break, I'm finally back to Gwent, and your videos have been a huge help in getting me back into the game. I really appreciate how clearly you explain your thought process. Thanks for the amazing content! Greetings from Sweden ❤
Glad to hear it and hope you enjoy the game again!
Oh baby its fuchsia!❤
You too with the Norigrad hate. Sigh....
I actually quite like Novigrad and use it a lot, but it is very strong
@@platinumpatrol2964 Nerf Traveling Priestess. That card should be at least 6 provisions.
It's abusive with its carryover. Picture being on blue coin, your opponent plays it in round 1, they win the round, push you like crazy in round 2 and it gives them a unit along with a huge amount of coins. Not fun to play against in circumstances similar to that.
@@RustCohle072 I get it but I have no problem with it staying as is. I like Syndicate and don't want to see it lose that special appeal it has. Yes I'm biased. 😁
@@ericjade Priestess is a card I considered but I didn't decide to this time. It is annoying to deal with and the Roche Combo is brutal if you can't force it early.
I think Igor wasn't really played before fallen knight buff, and now if both of those cards will be nerfed, Igor is more than dead.
Igor was the key card in the Scribe spam deck prior to that. After the upcoming buff to Sly Seductress I'm pretty certain he'll be used to make copies of her.
audio is incredibly quite btw
Renfri is too good and prevalent, I think she would be strong even at 2-3 for 15.
Agreed so much flexibility and carryover
love artis, sad that he doesn't really seem to have a place, maybe with the prov buff it can have a place. I just didn't really understand why lerio and shirmini voted for kikimore worker nerf
It's an attempt to nerf Hive Mind since Kikimore Worker will never be played outside of Hive Mind unless it was buffed to a ridiculous level. Even if it were to be buffed, the exposed destroying it means for it to be considered it would have to be at like 9+ power and then still the drawback is too high. Therefore it's only ever played via Hive Mind and weakening it weakens Hive Mind without having to nerf Hive Mind by +1 provision. I understand where they're coming from, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the idea.
Nice to see Fuchsia Briefs playing a bit of Gwent again as well! Hyphen in the name checks out and casino Lippy was certainly his favourite 😂
That made me happy too but it was more bittersweet tbh I wish he’d start uploading again I used to be one of his patreons
I was curious about something. while it is extremely refreshing to have a youtuber that doesn't try to shoutout their 5 different social medias in every video, have you ever considered making a discord or something? You are basically are the only english speaking gwent player that makes these types of commentary/deckguide videos left
There is Qcento and Shinmiri that still make content in the English speaking community but agree I love me some platinum turret action
Seconding that I'd like a PP discord, but if it's more than he wants to manage, I can understand that
True, but shinmiri uploads stream vods and ropes like crazy (no offense to him he's a good player and creative but damn lol) And qcento doesn't upload like he used to unfortunately
Just yesterday I thought "I haven't seen self wound Skellige for a while, wondering if it's still any good", awesome content, as always !
Hey man I’d hate to nag or trouble you but when are you gonna get the audio fixed
The audio sounds fine in this vid to me actually, I know some of the recent vids sounded a bit off though, does it seem quiet or something?
@@tomrowell1558 hard to describe but yeah it’s quiet and uncomfortably scratchy? It used to be much smoother about a month ago
@@001100AAAEA Was it bad for you in the GN Deathwish video too? I'm asking because my hard drive ran out of space when I'd almost finished recording this so it broke the recording and I lost the file. I had to redo the video so if the sound isn't bad in the last video before this it could just be because my voice was tired from having to re-record and talking longer than I'm used to. I thought I improved the audio but if it's still not good I can take a look at it again. I'll try tweaking a few things anyway and see if it makes it smoother.
@@platinumpatrol2964 yes the deathwish one isn’t much better it sounds rather muffled.. I realize that you have a different setup after you moved, but you sounded so much better in your milva and SK sihil video yet weirdly enough the SY off the book video in between them did sound off, I dunno man.. I sound so whiny and I’m still enjoying your videos but I can’t deny that the audio is affecting my enjoyment sorry 🫠
@@001100AAAEA You're not annoying me by bringing it up! To be honest I thought I'd fixed it and wouldn't know otherwise if people didn't say things. I usually listen to things at pretty low audio levels and listening to your own voice is weird, so I didn't notice much of a difference between the last couple videos and the ones before I moved. As for the Milva and Sihil ones, I did them prior to moving so I'd have things to upload. Then I found time to record the Off the Books one at the new location and decided to upload it in between :) Thanks for your feedback and I have a couple things that I'll try for the next videos that I think will help. There are also some post-recording processing I can do but I generally try to avoid that. If the audio still isn't good enough after my fixes I might give it a shot.
Its noodledick not udalryk
26:05 Because it’s fun! And French I think
Such a cool archetype, always feels like it has a place in punishing decks that focus entirely on light control - great to see Cerys fearless in there now! (Still feels like she could do with a one power buff though)
great stuff❤
Oh man I just spend hours trying to make a new selfwound and I couldn't come up with anything. Thanks this was a biiig help! If you ever get the time I would love to see a deck with artis! Can't remember when I last saw him and I guess it's cause he is difficult to play?
I've used Artis in Self-wound before. There's two main issues. A good amount of the Self-wound cards in the standard deck don't actually want to take half their health when played or don't give that much value. Artis really wants a deck designed around him but in my opinion he needs to be 10p so he can be brought back with Fucusya to accommodate making a deck designed around him. Rite just doesn't give enough value on him since he really needs the tempo from his deploy. The other thing and bigger issue is along the same lines that just slotting him the standard Self-wound typically means cutting part of the Kaer Trolde/Dracoturtle/Sigvald/Olgeird package that works so well together. Artis is an okay card in the existing deck but he's just not as good as the other options in the more standard decks. He's not that bad, he has synergy and thinning a card is good, but not all Self-wound decks want to run the transforming cultists. If Artis or any of the cards that go in his deck get buffed (Tuirsech Veteran the healing berserk one I think it is for example) I'll make a deck based on him. Otherwise the next time I do a Self-wound deck I'll try to include him. I do quite like him.
@@platinumpatrol2964 thanks that explains so much! My very first SK deck was a selfwound with artis so that is years ago when I had no idea what I was doing! You know how it is, you see a video copy it and thinks everything is gonna go the same way and it does not! 😂 I have tried him later but I always did the mistakes you mention here and you are right he should be 10 provision, I also thought about that blue guy who takes damage gives damage could use a buff, that would help right?
@@DennisJeppesen Yeah Blueboy Lugos I'd like to see buffed as well. It's also somewhat of a meta thing for Artis where he doesn't get that much value into decks that play small units. Most played units in my experience are either engines or get their value from deploys. For low power cards Artis isn't that much better than an An Craite Longship + Naval Supremecy or an NR Ballista or two that can target their damage. If you play him against something that does play big units like Ogroids or Relicts Artis is actually great, but most decks don't play that many units with high base power (think of all the tall finishers that boost themselves - a simple Spores punishes that better).That makes it so to get a ton of value of out of Artis you want to synergize your own cards with him instead of playing him as an offensive damage engine, leading to the competition with other cards in the deck that are just better.
@@platinumpatrol2964 blueboy lugos that was the name! I always like the artwork on him. I can really see what you are talking about I took your advice and made a new deck and my win rate wasn't anything to brag about, and I did go against ogroids where he worked great! He did so well in that one game, I had a blast. But I had to sacrifices to many good cards or end up with no thinning and a bunch of 4 provision cards and then hope to get the right draws. Will look forward to when you get around to make a video! But you are right, he really needs to be 10 provision.
hey man thank you for uploading, I rly needed that right now. I just wanna say I love your videos and youre like actually my favorite channel and just keep going and make those great videos. thx❤
I'm still waiting he and Shinmiri match up in Pro game ❤️
Shinmiri is definitely a lot higher ranked than me so I don't think it'll happen unless it's at the start of a season
Think you'd do a hidden cache/forgotten treasure deck? I literally never see it. Only got reminded of it because I finally ran into someone playing it
I'd like to but I wasn't happy with the one I came up with recently and didn't make a video on it. I'll keep working on it
Hi, I was wondering: how did you make the card itself in terms of power and provision? It really looks like is coming from the game, I use a website but the font is not the same as yours.
I use the image editing software Gimp and made a template of the cards for each faction that includes the border, rarity, provision image, power and provision box, and the artifact/special symbol and armor (so I can just hide them on cards I don't want them on). Then I just add the images and numbers. The easiest way is to get the assets is to download the Gwent Card Exporter by pramberg451 on GitHub. Once you unzip it one of the folders it comes with is the Assests folder that has all of the card assets and you should be good to go if you know how to use an image editing software (I use Gimp). Alternatively, you can screenshot cards in the game and then edit the image and save each component yourself to use in the same way. This is a lot more effort and very annoying (I know from experience). I wouldn't recommend it though. One more random note: If you want to do projects beyond just custom cards you can also install the Gwent Ultra Bold font type to your PC (you can search for it online and download it) and create preset effects for it in an image editing software (I use Gimp) to be able to type things in your image editing software in the same font as the power and provisions. Hope this was helpful!
@@platinumpatrol2964 Amazing, very helpful, thanks a lot, I'm really enjoying your channel and I'm waiting for other videos like these with the AI, very funny!
Love you your stargates
Ruehin is a good boy. One of my favourite MO cards.
Very good vid, and unusual way to play Deathwish too, great job. Where can we submit proposition for future deck?
You can just ask for suggestions in the comments. I read all of them and make a list of the requests
@@platinumpatrol2964sweet; Then could you attempt to make a viable Wipper-centered deck that isn't just a meme please?
@@corrinthechocolatine4025 I've been trying to do that for a while. Once I get a version that I think is decent I will definitely show it off!
Yo, i just got hit by a tainted ale, heymay defender?, and dagur two blades that pretty much made my opponent gain 90 points or some stuff. The hell is that about?
In Onslaught? There's a deck for infinite armor with that
Ahhh. Beautiful necrotome. And Ruehin! Good to know we woke up and chose euphoria today.
Nice deck! Cool u tried him out. I saw Moshcraft utilize Ruehin with Wererat and some other card to get a continuous loop and have solid points per turn. It was pretty cool to see. I always wondered what your take would be on a deck that plays only neutral cards. You pick the leader :)
I know you read your comments so I have two ideas I want to see you do on stream please: Construct deck with mandrake for 15 damage plus 15 damage immediately after, possibly in the same turn. And Frost Slave Driver combined with a massive boost for a 20 point swing, because if you boost the Slave Drivers points to above the targets, the targets instantly goes to 1 and locks.
Ive completed a similiar deck today but instead of the golden nekker buildup i am using dagon, wererat and the deathwish scenario, you got some timing 😅.
Nice deck! Can you make a Salamander + Renew deck?
I'm not sure how much it's changed over time but I'll see what I can come up with
Wererat exclusion is odd
Wererat is fine but I don't like how the consume is mandatory when there aren't that many Deathwish carss. That and the Rat spawning can block spaces you need in the Necromancer's Tome round. Really the issue with him is I didn't have a 6p slot as he would work very well with Ruehin.
Damn this one has become popular very fast! Correct me if I am wrong, gaming were the first one 2 weeks ago and now this is the 4th youtuber with this deck? Crazy how fast some decks can spread! Still it's fun to see the small changes you each make!
I'll be honest I have no idea who made the first one but I have seen a lot of people playing it. I think part of it is people wanting to try out the buffed Harpy Egg and GN + Necromancer's is super strong in pretty much anything.
@@platinumpatrol2964yeah but that can just be played in any DW deck, but it's been a while since I have seen she troll being played this much! It's fantastic it is! same with ruehin! It just always amazes me how cards that seemed almost gone suddenly make a comeback, and how fast it can spread in our gwent community because of a few youtubers/streamers? I don't know what the correct name is..
GGs. Game 3, correct me if I'm wrong but I think the chance of Knickers coming out depends on how many cards you hold? If you hold 7 cards it's a 30% chance, if you hold 3 cards it's a 70 percent chance, etc. No?
That’s correct
I had no idea of the actual equation behind it, thanks for letting me know!
@@platinumpatrol2964 Yep. Knowing this can be really clutch deep into R1. Thanks for all of the vids!
Your decks are always interesting and reveals various archetypes' full potential. Keep up the good work!
I've seen quite a few similar GN Deathwish decks but none playing Ruehin and She-Troll and they seemed like they could work, and it turned out even better than I hoped!
35:28 to be fair to the opponent I really thought the vitality would kick in before the 2 damage that’s a lil tricky
Yeah it did happen a couple turns in a row before that but it is hard to catch if you're not paying attention.
Lol ran into 5 opponents playing this deck, so went on you tube to find out who was doing a Harmony deck! Guess I found out who 😝 well won 4 games out of 5 against it with my harmony deck and mainly I lost that one cos I didn’t get my main cards out. It’s so funny cos they think I play the same deck , they over poison first round and get slaughtered in a long 3th round or even a short third round. If I have the right cards I even push for a 2-0. So a thnx is in order , thank you !
thanks for the deck)
Renfri - BOOOO! Never any :::absolute lower case r:::enfri decks! Thank you.
as a returning player, idk what renfri is or how to build around it. really wish you would have elaborated on what the deck looks like with her
Renfri is a card that creates a new leader ability when played as long as your starting deck is 25 or more units (so typically 25 units). She is played with Renfri's Gang (6 for 6 bronze that thins the other from the deck), Iris + Iris Shade and Blightmaker + Mage Assassin for consistency, Runemage to give you more options when creating the Leader ability with Renfri, and Triss" Meteor Shower as a finisher (very good because you spawn extra 1 power copies of units and she'll boost them all based on their base power). Renfri works very well in NG because the removal and consistency you lose by playing mainly units is made up for by cards like Alba Armored Cavalry and Vilgefortz for control and Blightmakers for tempo consistency plays. The deck uses the soldier engines for value while stacking the key cards (Runemage, Renfri, Triss:Meteor Shower) to the top of the deck while gaining points off of the Marines. You can really abuse the ability to have a new leader by throwing your charges out early and then playing her as some of the leader abilities you can create have passive effects or a Cooldown or trigger at the end of each round. I'll link a sample decklist if you're really interested but I generally won't make Renfri decks. Many players (myself included) hate Renfri as she was incredibly imbalanced on release (literally 70% of all decks were Renfri from the 250 games I played that season) and remained so even for a long time afterwards. Even today 25% of my games in Pro Rank are against Renfri decks. Since she's neutral made most decks similar across all the factions as they would all run the same 8-10 neutral cards the decks were based on. Basically, the Renfri version swaps the specials and artifacts for the units I mentioned above and looks like this (Pellar and Xavier are tech slots and can be replaced with whatever): www.playgwent.com/en/decks/40abd86c39527d8e591728eca3a06d6a
Amazing and comprehensive explanation, thank you🎉🎉, the season I stopped playing I was top 500 global and ng soldiers has always been my favorite. I enjoy this this version too much to go for the "unhonorable" deck so soon maybe in a couple of months
Midrange NG deck that DOESN'T run Blightmaker packages? What sorcery is this?
I started playing recently, I've been looking for videos to learn how to use better decks, but I saw some news that was discouraging, I learned that the game will no longer receive cards and that the servers can be closed at any time, this information is true? I wanted to know since I'm considering spending money to catch Yennefer's journey.
It is not getting shutdown it’s just that no new cards are being added. All changes to the game are now made through balance council
They're not shutting down the servers any time soon, but the developers aren't adding new cards. There will continue to be updates each month to 40 cards as voted on by the community balance council tool to keep things fresh.
