Hello, could someone give me some advice on a self-wounding deck. Im trying to build it from scratch so not entirely sure what to go with. I know for silvers I want Sigfrida, Blueboy Lugos, Cleaver (for the lock) and Restore but not sure on the other two (Maybe Octvist).
For golds Im not entirely sure but thinking of Birna Bran (she is getting nerved though isn't she), Decoy (for the double blueboy or another use of a resurrect for example) and Ciri (good with Octvist for CA)
In terms of Bronzes Im aware the Axemen are pretty important although Im aware that I shouldn't solely rely on them as they're vulnerable to weather and Dbombs. Im not entirely sure on the savage bears tbh, I know they work well with the axemen but I quite prefer the archers that do 1 damage to 3 units (don't know what they're called).
Is there anyone with a perhaps similar deck to what Ive tried to vaguely explain here (apologies for the blabber).
Edit: Another silver will be DBOMB totally forgot about that
The most important cards to put on an Axeman deck are Axeman/Blueboy Lugos/Yennefer/Birna (even after nerf she is the best for card draw in SK)/Sigrdrifa+Priestesses/Clan Brokvar Archers.
Unlike most decks that run Yennefer this is the one that actually has a sinergy with her (although after the nerf she will probably be too slow to use).
This is the list I run

Cards you can consider replacing could be Coral for Geralt Igni, Savage Bear or Armorsmith for a 3rd First Light if you feel you need more thining tho I prefer to always run 1 Armorsmith because he is better than First Light in a lot of situations.
I wouldn't recomend replacing Hjalmar because not only does he sinergyse greatly with Myrgtabrakke (2 cards for 29 str) but because he also helps with the Axeman since it gives the opponent a target unit to hit with Archers/Whale/Harald so even if you don't get to kill the Lord of Undvik it should still give you some extra strength.
Dbomb I would say it's a must because of all the ST Dorfs and Monster Consume (you can still win without it tho).
Stamelfords Tremors is there just for some Harald The Cripple boosting since after the last patch it became worst since Axeman can't absorb all the damage that you deal to your units anymore.
There are some version that run the Clan Drummond Shieldmaiden package for deck thinning in wich case you probably want 2 bears to make sure you get all maidens out at once.
I hope this helps and just be prepared to think carefully with this deck because it's one of the hardest decks out there to play correctly in each respective match-up. :yes:
