New Card Reveal

[Treamayne]

i play NR most of the time, but even me i think Keira Metz is overpowered. maybe just use the effect 2 times or so? or make it like this: the same row is also protected at your opponent.

Well, Keira (right now) says Damaging special effects, which implies she does not prevent Epidemic or Scorch (which destroy, not damage). I guess we'll see.

New Card:

Alzur's Double Cross

Special

Silver/Neutral

Play the highest strength non-Gold unit from your deck.

Big difference between this card and clear skies. Clear skies was ONLY worthwhile against weather and if weather wasn't played it is useless. Shackles is going to be good MUCH more often than that. Getting through a game and not finding an opportunity to use it will be rare I believe.

Dimeritium Shackles- how many of these U can take to deck? 1 -2? this card alone do nothing in 99% situations. debuff 1 unit? its really good only against borg. And if U take it in last turn it is probably unplayable. But we will see. Imo maybe 1 card in high rank decks - no more.

This card is extremely useful. I don't know how you don't see that. All control decks will use them to demote gold cards and destroy them. If you don't need them for that then they can wreck high point cards with low base strength. Or decks can use them to demote their own gold cards in order to resurrect them. Very useful, nothing like clear skies.

Nerf the Kayran already... I can forehear the cries of thousand of voices, demanding "balance".

And.... I'm not really happy seeing the two new cards, as it means no new bronze unit at all and even more neutral and even more special and even more gold/silver. (and it seems none of those silver are rare, too). It's pretty obvious we're getting 12 neutral cards among the 20, and half of those at least are specials.

That being said I really like the art for Alzur's Double Cross. Not sure I get the interest of that card though. It's the contrary of King of Beggar, but most lowest strength unit have very high utility on the board, whereas highest strength usually are just that, highest strength, and in a lot of case except if you play with 10str silvers (or a dwarf deck I guess?), the highest is usually a bronze that will do nothing else. So it's a silver that play a bronze that do nothing, or a silver that probably does nothing. It thins your deck by one and is a special so synergy with ST control/Monster frightener but... I have a hard time seeing this being used right now. Can't use it with the new ciri:dash either because she's gold.

ciri:dash is an interesting mechanism though. Especially if you can play her on round one and have a ton of way to thin your deck in between and during the round 2.

Isn't the effect only happening once on each protected card just like Quen? I though so.

one shackle and it's over, so I doubt it.

We need to see how this card worked. When they only protect for Lacerate, Venom, Lightning and Weather effect. Then is this not a Gold Slot. The most Cotnrol Decks used Monster to do Damage or used Scorch and Epidemic.

If you don't have D-Bomb, D-Shackles will easily counter this card (then scorch/igni it or use weather...). Also you can make sure there's not much food for Kayran on the opponents side. Problem solved. Right now I don't see any issues here.

I'm definitely going to try and work with this card myself but I'm skeptical it will help that much, since it's yet another last move card that is easily countered. I'd prefer to see new strong bronze cards, to be honest.

THIS ! Enough with the special cards, more damage cards in Neutral or Skellige especially would be appreciated cause I'm sick of facing discard deck after discard deck. Let's give more viability to other Skellige decks so why not buffing the damage/bears deck with new cards?

ok my friend how many of d.shackles You have in your current deck? just asking - in rank 4 - I can`t see any.

One at most in my decks. I was running it in ST, and it was great vs the occasional Kayran but felt like a dead card in most other matches when I already have Milva and weather for buffed units. I ended up replacing it with another Mardroeme which is always useful.

(Currently rank 6)

I keep 1x D Shackles in my Scoia deck, that card is great - for Kayran, for putting your units back to their original value while in weather, to put some goldens to 1 (in weather) etc.

Scoia units can hardly boast anything above 4... so I don't see the advantages of DShackle them tbh.

Same here. It is great for Kayran, but not only. It does the job with weather and Villentretenmerth. I have one in my Scoia deck to use it in right moment (thanks to Aglais)

Sometimes d-shackling that one vrihedd vanguard can win you the battle.

Really? Usually, against or with Scoia, the other side has very little on the board... if anything. But again, I can be (and in many instances am) wrong. So...
