Purchased it last week... I still have to win 2 Master games but what is the easiest Grandmaster setting? There are so many options...

In fact Masquerade Ball decks had a winrate below 50%, despite their popularity. Now NG is most probably the worst faction again (together with SY maybe). Kolgrim decks are quite bad, toxic anyway and totally vunerable to Yrden. The small Soldier buff doesn't make the archetype viable. All SY...

Caesar Bilzen and Sausage Maker are just meme cards. Compared to Gabor Zigrin for example. A card that is so much better for the same provisions but OK: The card pool is not logical anyway. The Defender of NG is so much worse than the other Defenders for some unknown reason for example...

There won't change anyhing to the better after the patch. SY gets nerfed to the ground. Masquerade Ball gets nerfed to the ground (although it's winrate is apparently already below 50% in Pro Rank). Blaze of Glory gets nerfed slightly but will still be very popular because the other Meta decks...

Force of Nature has practically no control at all. You can hardly tech against a deck with a playrate of 1.29%... SY has usually enough control to stop Thrive engines. Vij and very greedy engine decks can do more points in a long round 3. In a long round 3 you overswarm with Caranthir and...

Here you can see that Syndicate is not overpowered at all: https://datadrivengaming.net/ladderStats They have only one deck that is viable too, Lined Pockets. Everything else is pretty much trash, even Congregate decks which are the second best SY decks. Faction wise the game is pretty...

Well sometimes it's indeed fun (not all games are decided that way) and the grind to the Season Trees would take much longer without it. It's total RNG so not every game is decided by MQ Balls. I also lost a few games but mainly in the Mirror against Nilfgaard with a highroll into Shupe...

I think I won my last 27 games in a row with NG. My maximum was 6 MQ Balls on board and I also once held 4 MQ Balls in hand. You don't have to be lucky, btw. It's very consistent with tactical decision.

Lined Pocket isn't that good in fact. Everyone knows exactly what cards you play and has experience playing against it which is a huge downside, some might even be teched against it. Furthermore Lined Pocket is not that good against Arachas Swarm and Vij Decks since it usually doesn't run tall...

I won all my games so far with Syndicate on ranked but my Gord never got very high. It all depends on the list. I play a Devotion deck with 2 Mutants Maker and 'only' 9 crime cards. Failed experiment plays effectively for 9 if used as a finisher and is almost as good as Gord is in my deck for...

Unfortunately the devs are obviously no players... This is currently most annoying about draft mode: You frequently run into madoc decks there since many abuse the game and simply always start a new draft until they get these nearly unbeatable Madoc-Decks with 3 Madocs. But even without Madoc...

I don't mind the nerf for bounty but the nerf to a totally balanced Swindle was completely unnecessary. It hurts tribute and practically all SY leaders too. Devs always listen to bad players complaining and making stupid suggestions. Swindle was 5 coins on average and if you look at some of...

Is it fun to play against a no unit deck with basically only artifacts and immune units to 'play' against? Absolutely not A lot was better in beta. Only the balance was always way off. Playing with the enemies leader ability would not make sense anymore against some leaders. There is no...

That is why Ursurper is quite popular at the moment but he doesn't have such a high winrate as Foltest players easily achieve. Even with bad play they often win. But it wouldn't be more fun to lose against a huge 50 points Glustyworp all the time. AQ gets shut down by Ursurper, I guess...

There are a lot of good monster decks out there and they score pretty well. You just don't know about them. AQ scores unfortunately fine with all that Artifact abuse going on and can beat SC often. The most popular Francesca decks do not even run Ida. Ursurper is definitely not that great. Just...
