It's funny, I play for ST and try to finish the "win with each of 4 leaders" quest
I was really lucky with this quest and did it in 6 matches in casual (lost against Svalblod...in casual...Svalblod...why do play people T1 decks in CASUAL?)

To be blunt, the dev team needs to stop riding SK so hard.
They have everything they need and way too many engine pieces.
If they need to buff other factions, cool, but right now regardless of the intention of the team, SK is blatantly a dev favorite.
What needs to happen is more drastic change when it comes to overpowered SK or when bringing every other faction to SK level.
The devs have ben failing pretty hard here...
I think you shared the video before in this thread and that time I didn't see as I thought a single video of Rank 4 players doesn't prove anything. But this time I saw and I have to thank you for sharing this video. This just proves that only SK can beat another SK. The NG player won the game due to the couple of SK card he managed to get it (and get it to working); the Priest and The Champion. Apparently the NG player had teched against SvalBlod and managed to win with SK units (and a bit of a RNG luck).
Please don't put words in my mouth. I never said, what you put in quotes. On the contrary, what I said isIf you still say "but SK is equal to other factions", there is nothing me or anyone else can tell you which will make you realise the fact, the fact told by the strongest pro players in the game.
And please don't conclude from a discussion about two very specific cards, that I defend the whole faction. In fact, I don't even think that SK needs to be defended. I still don't understand why people insist on destroying the last working faction, so that we are left with 5 broken ones, instead of fighting to strengthen the broken ones. It reminds me of castaways swimming in the water, and the ones about to drown quickly grab the arms of the last one still swimming, in order to let him drown as well. Why should he survive, when we don't?"Let's talk Skellige - what's wrong with this faction?"
Nothing.
(But there's a lot wrong with all the other factions)

Nobody says that SK needs to be butcherd. But at least some provision tweaks are needed so that they cannot include ALL of their OP cards. The current state is not healthy for the game. Thats all.
I would like to see other factions being buffed to the level of SK instead of nerfing purple dudes.
Actually, as sarcastic as you might have wanted to be, all of your proposal would be a nice foundation for a debate. For example, this card: "8 Provision card, 1 body, deploy, give all northern realms allies "immune" "I'm being sarcastic here, but you get the point.
By any chance, do you happen to know where one could see such info?Side note: IIRC SK was banned 6 out of 7 times during the last tournament (that time Bran Coral was the main menace). I predict: SK gets banned >80% If we go without changes in the next tournament. There is a reason for that.

No, it jist shows how extremely biased you are. Not open for any changes other than damaging certain Skellige cards that you personally have issues with. Very sad. As I said, my example is in Thronebreaker and works just fine. So it is very stupid to ignore that and instead just show your hate for Skellige as a whole. People like you are what causes the death of so many card games by demanding nerfs beyond any reason (like SvPr doing one damage on own unit and getting one = +0!). Be a little more open and less personal when discussing changes to a game.I was making a joke. Coming up with the most ridiculous and overpowered abilities for Northern Realms that I could think of, to make it overpowered like Skellige.
Those ideas are not a good foundation for a debate. It was a joke, and absurd abilities that the game doesn't need. It was to demonstrate how overpowered and ridiculous Skellige is.

There is a core "balance" point to the game actually, and cards and factions need to be adapted to that anchor point of the game, unless you move that anchor point somewhere else. But moving that anchor point would be a massive job and create chaos and imbalanced across the board.
Let's say that a balance point indication of the game currently is 5 board points and 3 damage. Could very well be 5 board points and 2 damage. I don't know exactly where it is, but I'm guessing, roughly. The "balance point" includes EVERYTHING, boost, tempo, all damage etc.
By any chance, do you happen to know where one could see such info?
A sample from today: I hit rank 3 with Henselt. 7-3 with 3 games against SK. Two Haralds Midrange and one Svalblod Selfwound netdecklists. I lost those games despite knowing all of their cards and plays before they made them.
I don’t know whether that is documented somewhere. IIRC the exception was the final where wangID did NOT ban SK. The only reason I can remember it is because everybody was totally surprised by that.
