New Patch New Meta - The good and bad
The meta seems to be settling around ST mulligan and other ST decks, Eithne for example. Eithne Shupe remains a pretty good deck while Reveal is stronger than it ever has been.
What really surprised me is that currently most decks seem to be working. Spies are weaker than ever and very rarely encountered but against ST Mulligan decks they perform adequately for example, which means we might see them again soon.
Eredin Wild Hunt seems to be working again as it can now be a reasonable choice. SK Bears are still pretty common but not as much as they were.
Harald Axeman remains a difficult to pilot but still relatively useful deck while Werewolves are a decent option as well. Deathwish and armor didn't suffer any major nerf either so they work to the extent that they used to before the update, with both even being viable for Ranked play at least up to the lower and middle ranks so far.
Henselt Machines are as usable as they were, so are Nekkers
All in all, this seems to be the finest meta we've seen. It's still too early to say for sure but even the current top decks (ST Mulligan - Eithne Farseers and Dragoons) certainly have their weaknesses and those weaknesses are widely available and easily exploited. Contrary to Nekkers, you don't need to tech against them to stand a chance for example
I hope this season remains as packed with varied decks as it is now.
What are your thoughts and experiences of the meta so far?
