Hello!
First, this is not Nilfgaard hate thread. I love NG. NG was my first deck and I think it's the most interesting faction. I think it was funny to see crazy pages and pages of threads about Anna and Emhyr and know nobody will play or talk about them in two weeks. And people just hatre them because they are NG.
But this new Chinese metabreaker deck is maybe not overpowered (because crime is more overpowered...) but it is not good balance. The synergy of location and Cantarella is too strong. It can 1) steal Oneiromancy or other echo cards or 2) if it can't do that it can replay double Joachim. This is too strong.
The proof is simple. The maker of Chinese metabreaker deck cut locks for this, even Hunters to proc the Ball. Sacrifice the control power of NG for this, only to make Joachim more consistent. Also, the location is an artifact with order, so after it plays, you cannot stop Cantarella from playing any card from your grave. "Play any card from opponent grave" this is very very strong. Much too strong for a 7 provision card (plus a small cost of provision surplus after location plays a bronze; but minus the flexible value of choosing a unit, and this is always more value than just having this unit in hand).
Blue Dream is 12 provision and can only play 1) units 2) 9 provision or less. Location + Canta can play anything. And Oneiromancy doesn't even lose the echo.
Also, less important, but less locks = more of the Viy. And we know how evereybody love Viy Also, Alchemist highrolls with no setup are just frustrating.
My proposition is to either limit Gorthur Gvaed to moving only units or make a provision limit to the card it move (maybe 10? so it doesn't completely brick Joachim interaction?). What do you think? Thank you for reading!
