Is it just me or does Skellige really suck?
Been a Skellige player since previous patch, tried Queensguard out but it's terrible b/c both Monster and Nilfguard can interact w/ your graveyard. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like the only viable Skellige is w/ Axemen, which seems gimmicky at best. Having your win condition be completely dependent on finding Axemen, turns out, is not a very consistent way to win. Especially when there are none in the hand or you wind up only finding one the whole game. There's no way to efficiently fish for it and it's a big target for Geralt Igni, Scorch, Weather, and D-Bomb (3 of which there is no counter play for).
I can't say too much about other factions because I don't have the cards to effectively try them, but from the factions I encounter Monsters and Scoiatel are the most consistent. In my opinion this means good job on designing those, but please work on the other 3 so that they can have more reliable avenues for winning.
