The entire Northern Realm faction needs a buff
Just came back from working on lots of college stuff and finds out that Gwent has a nice new patch with an event. So I decided to check NR since they are my favourite faction and the only faction that invest in a lot.
And oh boy I was so disappointed. They added ANOTHER MACHINE THAT NO ONE WANTS. Like seriously why CDPR keep adding machines when NR has a trouble in having a nice crewman unit , but well they added Ronvid . But still the problem persist, NR has no nice bronze crewman unit that could tie the whole machine archetype together. Siege Master and Siege Support is too weak since every removal could just smack them and problem solved. While other faction has a nice card update with new cards that actually synergize pretty well with their deck.
After that NR has 2 more archetype which is the meme 40 card deck or the Henselt swarm deck and both of them isn't even viable. the 40 card deck is too RNG based for me to consider it as a proper deck. And the swarm deck could be outpowered by any deck in high MMR and could be shut down pretty easily with killing their siege support.
But well probably CDPR plans NR to be the basic faction that every newbie would flock into since almost every of their card is a basic card that lacks any kind of synergy. Like Thaler for example he is a 11 str spy that only draws 2 card from the top of your deck and you choose 1. Well basic CA spy and let's compare it to Cantarella which is a direct upgrade to Thaler with a slight downside.
Sorry if this post sounds like a rant since I'm a huge NR fan and i'm just completely disappointed with this current state of NR.
