So i've played a bit of Ranked lately, where i've faced quite a few Second WInds. And i lost almost every time. Why?
I was using a NG Tactics deck. This deck was destroying SK Warriors earlier this month, but now it loses, because a lot of these SK decks arent using GS/Dagur anymore!
This was because of the nerf to provisions. And the irony is, that the SK got even better with it, because without GS/Dagur, they have less point potential but they're incredibly harder to disrupt. And of course, if they DO run a GS/Dagur and you're not ready, you instalose.
On a match, i was even able to brick a Harald (no warriors on GY), make a miraculous Tyyrgvii counter by Coup de Grace'ing his Gremist to purify my Ruptured unit, and still lost, because i was playing it safe, preparing for a GS that never came.
Parallel to this, i was using a meme deck to replay Arnjolf with Blood eagle (after all, he's 0 provisions!), and trying to optimize Madman Lugos, Brokvar Archers, Drummond Warmonger, but even though it was fun, after awhile i thought 'i must really be a masochist, using these cards when i could be running much safer choices like Morkvarg HoT or Hemdall...'
Curiously, this deck actually did well specially against players who pushed me to use leader ability R1 (this deck is kinda built for that) and then they would use their leader ability, even on blue coin, which is a dumb move but i guess its justified since everyone is so scared of SK warriors (even though this deck i was using wasnt nearly as threatening, but they didnt know that...)
