Try this out: Leader: Foltest
Gold: Seltkirk, Natalis, Shani, Regis
Silver: Stennis, Sile, Vincent, The Last Wish, Marching Orders, Reinforcements
Bronze: Redanian Elite x3, Knight Elect x3, Kaedweni Cavalry x1, Tormented Mage x3, Thunderbolt x3, Alzur's Thunder x1, Recon x1
The strategy: Swap priorities: Thunderbolt -> Recon -> Alzur's -> DEPENDS (Knight-Elect, Redanian Elite or Kaedweni Cavalry)
You'll want to start with Foltest or Redanian Elite 95% of the time. These are awkward first cards to play against. As with any deck, you'll want to keep playing until you're winning the round with the same amount of cards spent by your opponent to create an advantage for future rounds. Or just pass, rarely.
After that you want to get your knight-elects running, and keep boosting them with Tormented Mage into Thunderbolt. Apart from getting mad boosts and armor which helps with damage dealing decks, this empties your deck a bit, giving you a statistical boost to draw non-bronze cards. Also you want to spend your thunderbolts as drawing them lated might give you a weird hand.
If you win the first round, just pass on the second. This deck won't benefit from the risk of playing any cards here, just like most decks won't.
The general idea now in the 3rd round is you want to get your Redanian Elites out, maybe drop a Kaedweni Cavalry on one and the reset him with a Tormented Mage into Thunderbold if you still have that or play a Knight-Elect if you still have that. Remember you have to filter out the bronze cards before you play cards like Sile & The Last Wish. In particular, one of your best combos will be Shani -> Sile -> Last Wish -> something amazing. Just be careful to always keep one special card for Sile, one tactics card in your deck for Natalis and try not to get Vincent Meis from Stennis.
Why these cards: Foltest is so good I could die. Since you will play at least most your deck most the time his boost gets used to the max and he's very versatile. Seltkirk is just amazing, Foltest makes him even better. Natalis for insane combos. Above I mentianed a good combo but this one is truly godlike... Natalis -> Reinforcements -> Stennis -> Sile -> Last WIsh -> something amazing. Seems inconsistent? Not as much as you'd think after you filter all these bronze cards out of your deck. Regis is just an insane counter against some decks, but you can replace him if you will, I love him though. Marching Orders pulls out some damn good combo cards like Tormented Mage, Sile, Stennis. Reinforcements is just for filtering and pulling Stennis really and having an extra card for Sile and Natalis. Recon is the same and Alzur's is just safety in case we get weird draws (it happens even to the best of us), we don't want a dud Tormented Mage in our hand in round 3.
Just filter first, draw later.
