Hello, fellow Scoia'Tael,
I must agree with Supremedeitas. Iorveth : meditation is a just a good/great card .Its capacity is really interesting but also situational.
I:M can serve 2 goals : removing a weak enemy with an annoying ability (engines, kaedweni siege support...) or destroying a powerful target and weaken another.
For the first goal, we already have classical Iorveth who does it better. Since he has a 7 body and can kill any 7 power enemy (or less) without any condition, he rarely fails to be useful. Moreover, he gives you a lot of free points if he destroys his target at the beginning of the game.
I:M, on the other hand, has a weak body. To compensate for this weakness, you must always ensure that he will destroy one target and deeply hurting another one, which is possible only if there is at least a 12 power enemy on the battlefield.
For the second goal, we already have Scorch, which allows us to destroy multiple powerful targets with the same power.
Iorveth ability is harder to use. In order to destroy a powerful target (20 power for example) you need a less powerful one (13 power). Once again, this is very situational.
Moreover, a lot of decks (like northern realms ones) don't rely on powerful cards, for the moment. In some cases, I:M will tend to be useless.
I nevertheless like this card, since it serves multiple goals and has no backfire, contrary to Scorch.
I also think that Iorveth and Yaevinn will work well together.
Do we know the definitive power of Iorveth : meditation ? On the cards reveal, he is supposed to be 2 power, but on gwent database, he appears to be 5 power. Which source prevails ?
About Francesca, she is my main leader. I do like her ability which allows me to adapt to any situation, even if I agree that it is low tempo. Maybe CDR could set her power to 9, or add some interesting cards with mulligan abilities...
