The card is OK and I guess it is the only thing that keeps SK players heads above the water now (I play extremely rarely with the faction so I can't be sure, but they got hit really hard last patches and (well deservingly after the Axemen/QG BS metas)). Only pity is that it may become the second auto-included card after Sigdrifa, but, oh well.

Didn't think about that, that's true.

A boost effect would make no sense for Skellige and 10 Strength are totally fine. I just think the Dorregaray combo is weird, not really skelligish I feel. But probably it's just me. Skellige was never about Resilience spam - except Morkvarg,Olgierd and playing around Cerys. But this Ekimmara spam has nothing to do with Skellige, it's awful seeing a bunch of monster cards on a Skelliger's board, It's enough seeing them whilst playing against Monster.
Humm look I personally hate skellige deck so my view could be biased, I do think restore is too good being able to change any bronze/silver in 10, with the carryover feature untouched it's definitely more than above the water.
Sure I can accept cards being particularly strong in some scenario but I do think viable counter must be available to all factions. Currently NR is struggling against any skellige deck just like previous patches except the dun banner patch. (In fact I still can't name a card of NR can effectively disrupt skellige play, you can argue necromancy and artifact compression being options to counter skellige but NR does not have any synergy with those cards, even ST can tutor artifact compression and revive it to counter SK)

Ideas to combat SK 'Restore' abuse
Restore abuse is one of the biggest problems for the game right now. Here are a couple ideas that remove the ability to abuse it, while keeping the spirit of the card the same:
- Dorregaray and Freya(w/QG) become 'Doomed' the moment they hit the graveyard, preventing them from being used with Restore after discard. Perhaps other cards too, but those are the ones can think of primarily to get the idea across
- Any card that you Restore gains a 'Doomed' tag, and thus cannot be rez'd
- Make Ekimara also Doomed
~~~~~~~~
So can still do many things with the card, but for the most part carryover + QG buff that players are abusing are now removed.

I got better idea: https://forums.cdprojektred.com/for...-how-to-properly-fix-restore-dorregaray-combo
Just fix the Ekimmara to be able to consume only bronze ally units and it fixes not only Restore combo problem, but also some others!
