After a successful couple of days with Skellige switched back to Scoia. Made a new deck built around 4 dragons. Lots of fun and good results so far. Saskia isn't as weak as people tend to portray her. Quite the contrary...

Is that your video? Nice win.
But I have to say that Russian dubbing is not as good as the English one. I can only hope that Polish version has Fieldmarshal Duda saying "kurwa mać" in it.

I want it in English as well. Any other thing doesn't make any sense...KasumiGoto;n7453690 said:
What's a Relentless unit? There is no Scoi'tael card specifically labeled as a Relentless, yet there are three cards that say that they "return a non-relentless unit." I'm confused.
I searched "relentless" in the forum search and came up with nothing related to what a relentless-unit is.

Relentless means it can't be picked up (and possibly reused) again. Johnny, Operator for example, are relentless. That means that you can't use Decoy, Milva or Eithne on them.

I am using Schirru in a number of decks and find him very enjoyable, at least once I got a handle of using him.
I dont use him with Wardancers, mostly because I think he could be problematic. My primary use for him is in a bait combo I like to throw out. In the most common variation let my opponent play a monster with 5 or higher strength, usually happens pretty early. Then I play Schirru, followed by Ocvist on the next round, provided Schirru was not triggered. The net result is usually that my opponent scrambles to remove Ocvist, usually with a special cards, resulting in Schirru activating and burning the enemy creature while defending Ocvist. Alternate tactic is to drop a spy on the enemy side after playing Schirru, hoping to bait a Decoy.
I think the most important aspect to Schirru at the moment is that noone seems to be expecting him. If he goes down as your first card, enemies will play around stuff like Fireball trap or similar, likely dropping something big and setting up a good Ocvist bait.
I usually play Schirru early, rather than late, to reduce the number of situations where the opponent just passes after you drop hidden card and also to increase the odds of my opponent still having a special card on hand. Nothing worse than a Schirru you have to trigger yourself. Dropping him early also makes him less awkward if you plan to set up buffs.
Regarding Idris I dont see why she would not trigger on a trapper play as other spies seem to trigger traps like the Fireball Trap. A smart tip is that if the round ends with her on the field she will trigger and buff Adrenaline units like the Defenders.

I think Francesca's Leader power should be buffed. Going -1 to mulligan again is really weak. You never want to put yourself in a card disadvantage, especially so in Gwent where running out of cards means that you're forced to Pass and the opponent can play whatever the heck they want to finish you off.
I propose they change it to "Draw 1 card; then mulligan up to two cards." It would go neutral like every other leader power does, as it would actually be worth a card.

Draw three cards, play one, discard one and mulligan one would be a more balanced approach. If you draw 1 card and mulligan 2, you are effectively gaining a card advantage since you play no cards.
Though considering the current deck thinning and card advantage capabilities of ST, current mulligan ability can ensure you will always play your deck to the full capacity.

Francesca is fine and is one of the best leaders. As said above, with the current deck thinning meta you can ensure you get what you need (Ciri: Dash, Aglais etc) in 3rd round or well, whenever. I'd leave her as it is.

I suggest you check out King Bran (skellige leader card) and reconsider who needs a buff. Francesca isn't a card disadvantage play - every round costs 1 card count. She provides neither advantage nor disadvantage to count. She has an ability that results in no affect to the board, but it's still an incredibly useful play that for thinned deck, results in you getting exactly what you want in 3rd round play.
ST in general needs no buffs right now. It's one of the strongest decks out there with genuinely unique strategies afforded to it that no other decks can imitate right now.

Francesca's power is effectively "play card, do nothing."
If I have 20 power on my board and you have less, then you play your Francesca power, you're still going to be minus a card and losing on board. Her power does nothing to help the board state. If I just Pass, you have to burn additional cards if you want to win the round when you're ALREADY behind. It's terrible.
Francesca Power is amazing.
It doesn't help to recover the board by itself but it help card selection and deck consistency.
Often, ST strategy is to win the first round, that it can do due to the amount of Value and deck thinning the deck can provide.
Then, second round is all about tempoing and keeping your advantage. Sometime, your opponent is above you and you should skip, instead, you're just playing Francesca and keep digging for a safe turn 3 win, while your opponent will to keep playing cards.
Francesca give neither card advantage nor board control, but deck thinning and consistency is one of the main factor of the game.

Sometimes. Saving Aeromancy (Merigold's Hailstorm is an okay substitute if you don't want to spend the 800 scraps - just be warned of Igni and Aard) for last round is important against Skellige. Even better is Aeromancy and Aglais as you don't have to save Aeromancy, just use Aglais to replay it. They will rez a lot with 3 Priestess of Frey, Restoration, Sig. I rarely nuke their skirmishers as they will frequently just rez them back more powerful than before. Just wait for the end and drop weather. Regarding spies, I will often use Eithne to replay Birna to get another spy of my own.

You can weather first & 3rd row or return the strongest ship (near end, when it's buffed with horn etc) with Milva.
