MEGA list of DEAD Gold Cards (with some suggestions maybe?...)
While we're waiting for I don't know what, let's talk about Gold cards.
I wanted to count Gold cards, which I consider dead, useless, or just very rarely or never encountered. I created this list based on my expierince.
( and even more dead silvers…)
But, everyone uses almost the same Gold cards in almost every deck.
I understand, someone may say - why you put my favorite Shilard in this list? Or I play Seltkirk in my deck. Or, saesenthessis dragon banish my hand every game and it always works, so why..??
Ok, delete 1, 2, well 5, ok 10 cards from this list. Lets say there are 30 Gold dead cards, not 44.
You think it’s OK????
While they decide should poor Hym be 4 or 3 (GREAT DIFFERENCE!!!), why do we still have at least 30 cards that almost never played???
While we're waiting for I don't know what, let's talk about Gold cards.
I wanted to count Gold cards, which I consider dead, useless, or just very rarely or never encountered. I created this list based on my expierince.
- Assassination. Dead 8 damage twice – very rare. And NG has so much better golds. What can be done? For example – deal damage up to 16. So, you damage enemy with lets say 12 damage, and then you can hit another 4 damage. Or, you can kill several small units (5+6+3+2 etc).
- Hanmarvyn Dream – spawn gold from enemy graveyard. The only possible use is double Dikstra. Maybe change it to steal gold card from enemy graveyard?... Then you can prevent double Leshen for example (which is a rare thing, actually). Very weak gold card.
- Renew – rarely see it. Cause you’re screwed if you have nothing in your graveyard. Maybe...? should it let you resurrect your gold unit, OR spawn gold unit from your opponent’s graveyard? It will decrease chance of being screwed by gods of bad draws. Delete Blue Dream from the game completely then, like they deleted Quen…((
- Sihil – what the hell is that?? NEW CARD?? Play random bronze unit from your deck – now that’s a power!!!
- Wolfsbane – only 12 power??...Nowadays battering ram is 6+3+3=12….?? And on top of that you must somehow discard it, only Bran can do it (and well Johnny too). Still very weak. But still, sometimes I see it and think thank you for using crap card.
- Kambi. I am so glad it’s dead. Absolutely crazy unstoppable Kambi got me access to pro ladder in season 1.
- Letho – only good with Regis, otherwise useless. Maybe let him lock 2 enemy units and be loyal unit with 10 power, plus also remain his current ability? Like super Auckes. Or, maybe lock one enemy unit and banish it. Give gold cards more options, since they can be removed by anything, frost included. Right now, Letho is crap.
- Regis – only good with Letho. And very situational.. Maybe somehow decrease his power and give him alternate action? Like drain 2 not boosted units’ power?
- Aguara – rng crap. Only good if it pulls you free scorch.
- A: Sage – super crap, though, incredible art. I remember he got me… ROACH. Change him to at least CREATE gold or silver unit from your opponent deck?
- Pricsilla – actually, +18 play, but last time I saw her - it was a year ago in quest Carnal Sins…
- Vernon Roche – don’t understand his ability, and never seen it after they changed him.
- Kiyan – looks pretty versatile, but why no one plays it?...
- Succubus – deadly, but can be removed with literally everything. Increase her power, she’ll become OP. Maybe add deathwish? Right now, she has 5% success no matter when you play her or against what.
- Aguara true crap – it is a joke??? +10 play??
- Letho kingslayer – well, looks powerful, but no one use it. Maybe let him strengthen self?? Then you have options to renew him at least..
- Cerys – almost dead. Before, she was probably the most playable SK card. It’s not her fault, but death to resurrect archetypes. Now you only resurrect bears, bears, bears.
- Ciri not nova – deader than dead. 1 alzur thunder and she gets you ZERO points. Add deathwish to her?? Or something?...
- Gaunter – joke. Next.
- Aard – 6+9=15 play. Just not strong enough?? Battering ram can give you 6+5+3=14 damage with not so many preparations.
- Yrden – had my doubts about it, but he’s just dead. Increase his power??
- Lugos – AAAAAAA! He’s nowhere to be seen anymore. Let him discard ANY unit? Like, discard ciri dash. Maybe then he’ll be more playable.
- Milva – can create crazy combo with shields)))) but still I saw her maybe 1-2 times during all OBT.
- Regis consumer – I think he should banish the unit he consumes. You eat enemy x-men, he gets to graveyard. Thank you! Now I can resurrect him with priestess. If he banishes unit, then he’s really powerful and he’s a way to disturb enemy strategy.
- Yennefer just Yen – now very weak, don’t know why. Yeah, if you have 20 units, wolves, eggs, harpies, and your opponent has 1 Tibor that he constantly boosts, then she can be power. Also, in NR spam deck she’s good too, but I encounter her so rarely… Let’s consider her dead. By the way - Ragnarok NR guy, Ulfreddin SK x-men finisher - they damage only ENEMY untis, why devs hare Yen so much and make her damage friednly untis too?... Maybe, let her damage only one friendly row..?
- Eskel – very weak for gold card. What’s the most value he can get you? 12 NG soldier+7? 19? What else? Destroy mangonel? Let him maybe buff all your witcher units by 2? He then will have synergy with alchemy witchers.
- Lambert – very weak. Super hard to have max damage with him.
- Seltkirk – looks weak, thus no one plays him. Again, very rare appearance.
- Triss butt – weak, cause she can be easily removed. Immune could do the trick. But she could become OP, forcing you to have lock in your deck… Though, I am glad to never see her again after that Dagon meta. Deathwish??
- Zoltan Duda –just weak. Let him at least boost all units in a row (max 7 with new unit limit)
- Shilard – what’s he for, since mill was killed? I draw my Tibor and enemy Nova. THANK YOU – I hear next.
- Draug – I was killed by him once, but only once… They changed him from dead, to dead, to dead?..
- Old speartip – actually +20 play, but I forgot he’s still in the game.
- Saeseasenthaeatheseeaeaeass – or whatever its name. What’s this card? Never seen it. And all his boosts looks dangerous. She (it) boosts and then boom – Yen Scorch, Shirru Scorch, of just Scorch hit her. Add immune maybe??.. Sick of powerful Golds just being scorched, sometimes twice.
- Tibor. CDPR still can’t decide what to do with him. Boost, strengthen, boost, strengthen? Boost is a joke. He gives my opponent battering ram 6+5+3=14 unit. THANK YOU – I hear next.
- Yen Con – out of a.thunder’s range yes, but still no one plays her. Bronze 8 power NR machine also hits someone every turn, and now, when you can spam multiple units, it’s easy to have units with different powers to avoid big damage by Con. So, weak card with fine art.
- Ciri Dash – I saw her several times in SC decks, don’t know what streamer got idea of it. Locking her probably gave my opponent rage. Maybe return her ON TOP of your deck?.. I’d like to use her in Quennsguard deck, though I have troubles drawing her even second time. With lugos, jonhny, ermion, Quennsguard can be playable again.
- Dandelion. Another dead card no one plays. Why all this boosts? Previously, he was used to boost reaver hunters to avoid igni/scorch. Now?? Now his ability doesn’t make sense. Especially when you draw him in the end)))
- Saeaseeeeasstentesesesesth AGAIN – NEW gold neutral dragon. BANISH YOU HAND????? Has someone seen it at least once?? Why the hell would I want to banish ALL my hand?? Maybe, just maybe, let her banish random enemy unit in hand (and draw another) or in deck?? Good way to mess with opponent deck.
- Saskia – well, I use her in my favorite Braenn deck, but she lacks power. The only purpose is to get rid of shit draw. Maybe let her boost this two bronze units that she draws? Then she will be a little more synergizing with Farseer and handbuff. But no one except me uses her. Maybe because I am King of shit draws.)))) Ok, last two days she helps endless elf spam.
- Vabiorn. Who are you, guy?? You’re new to Gwent? Oh… you’re with us since the beginning??? Really??????
- Old speartip ver 2. He sleeps forever and doesn’t appear in any deck.
- Xarthisius – actually, fun card! Just weak overall…
- Hialmar. Thank you dear friend, you and Kambi, maybe that’s why I don’t miss you.
( and even more dead silvers…)
But, everyone uses almost the same Gold cards in almost every deck.
I understand, someone may say - why you put my favorite Shilard in this list? Or I play Seltkirk in my deck. Or, saesenthessis dragon banish my hand every game and it always works, so why..??
