Nilfgaard Handbuff Still Needs a Nerf
Well, with all the nerf-blasting that's just taken place to shake up the playfield, and with the general disclaimer being 'those bronze units were just getting too much value', how the heck did they miss the Nilfgaardian Knight + Mandrake/Mardroeme + Emhyr combo? Because the keyword on mandrake and mardroeme is 'strengthen' and not 'boost', this leaves the player with either an 18 or a 15 powered Nilfgaardian Knight sitting pretty in the hand - that one card is then completely sploited to barf out 23 or 20 powered spotters, followed by ointments to dig up the spotters (b/c conveniently, the spotters 'boost' off the strengthened Nilfgaardian Knight, so they go back to the grave as 5s ... then you have the Vic Novices to make sure you get the ointments, meanwhile you've also got Magne Division to drag out Wyvern Scale Shields to boost other units with, you guessed it, that same Nilfgaardian Knight. There are probably a few other cards I'm forgetting while I ramble here, but you get the point. These bronze cards are beating the socks off any other bronze cards they could've been complaining about in the series, yet here they still stand. Just curious what the reasoning was behind allowing this one to stay while busting up less powerful (imo) combinations.
