DRK3;n10882951 said:DeadlyMak Well, based on your golds and silvers, i would say go for Monsters Frost, where you could use all your Monster Golds, plus some decent silvers.
But to be honest i havent been seeing many Eredin players lately, the ones that do use it are definitely running the new Imlerith Sabbath. But im sure its not because its terrible, might not be as good as it once was but it still gets the job done.
If you want i can give the deck list i would make, but i would recommend you try your best yourself first.
Ghinko;n10883411 said:I would also go for Monster Frost. Maybe craft Iris von Everec as finisher. (Frost & Wild Hunt Rider can kill her directly after you play her).
One more Biting Frost would also be good.

It kind of feels like a better starter deck, would it be worth investing in it by getting Stennis or elite? I mean would i have to replace it later?sfruzz;n10882921 said:Or another possibility could be a Northern Realm deck focused on armor.
Not the strongest archetype, but I find it enjoyable.
Leader: Radovid
Gold: Philippa, Geralt, Triss, Royal Decree
Silver: Sile de Tansarville, Decoy, Commander's Horn, Artefact Compression, Thaler, Prince Stennis
The idea here is to use Sile and Silver Special Cards for card-drawing, thus reducing the number of cards of your deck and increasing the chances of drawing precious gold cards.
Same concept with Stennis, which, if you go for Northern Realm, I would advise you to craft. Stennis has armor so it brings a bit of synergy and you can use Decoy on him.
Bronze: Redanian Elite (x2), Kaedweni Cavalry (x3), Redanian Knight-Elect (x3), Reinforced Trebuchet (x3)
The Tridam Infantry is worth considering and you might be considering crafting the missing Redanian Elite.

Maybe you can work with a deck like that...
Leader: Brouver
Gold: Triss, Geralt, Saesenthessis, Royal Decree
Silver: Barclay Els, Cleaver, Artefact Compression, Vaedermakar, Ciaran - 6th silver card could be something like Yaevinn
Bronze: You seem to have quite a few bronze Dwarf cards you could try out (Skirmishers, Mercenary...). Plus first light to clear weather and reconnaissance for thinning. Besides, most ST decks unfortunately have Wardancers, so that also could be useful in your deck for card advantage and thinning.
Just make sure you don't have more than 25 cards in your deck.
No idea how well that deck will work but you are missing a lot of cards, so there's not really a fleshed out archetype you can craft yet.

DeadlyMak;n10886261 said:This one looks good. Just a question Old Speartip: Asleep buffs all other ogroid and i currently would only have 3 other ogroids which means it can provide 15 strength only if i get it early in round 1. If I'm unable to play him before the other ogroids he will be worse than Geralt?
ser2440;n10886391 said:Nope, Redanian Elites and Stennis are staples of the armor deck. Usually most armor decks run 2 copies of each bronze and Ciri: Nova, Natalis, Shani and Sigismund Dijkstra though for their golds. While the latter 3 you can get gradually, the former imposes a limit on deck design, meaning that you have to have 2 copies of each bronze in your deck. Stennis is a great card to have all around so you can craft that by all means. And it doesn't get replaced. But later on, if you get Ciri: Nova, you'll have to drop the 3rd Redanian Elite.
Henselt Armor deck is a decent choice as well though, but there's not many units to tutor aside from Kaedweni Knight and Trebuchets
sfruzz;n10886921 said:As ser2440 wrote, Stennis is a very strong an flexible silver. That's the sort of card you would ressurect with Shani.
Even if you were to move away from the Armor archetype, you would still hold Stennis in your Northern Realm deck.
DeadlyMak;n10915628 said:Well i got enough scraps from playing Eredin frost to buy a silver. So i will give your deck a try and buy Stennis. I was wondering if i can implement iris into it. Since the risk of running iris is opponent locking it, wouldn't Radovid unlock it and deal 4 damage?
DeadlyMak;n10915619 said:Ghinko
Also how is ghoul into buffed dead Cyclops 20 points play. It only gives 16 points(4+12).

Edit: Oops wanted to merge it into the previous post but doesn't seem like there's an option to do it now.
DRK3;n10916957 said:If you're going to use Iris in a NR deck, make sure it has multiple ways of dealing damage. Also, you dont have to worry with Radovid's ability as he only deals 4 damage when locking opponents, and since iris goes unto his board, if he locks it it wont do damage, but you still need to unlock her.
DeadlyMak;n10922831 said:So i crafted Stennis and went ahead with sfruzz 's armor deck. I didn't have scraps for the extra Redanian Elite after crafting Stennis so i added a Redanian Knight. I climbed from rank 6 to rank 9 with it but after reaching rank 9, the deck felt like a disaster. I lost 5 out of last 6 ranked game i played. Half of which i lost to a good margin of 20-30 points in round 3. What am i doing wrong? Did the deck outlive it's usefulness?
sfruzz;n10923572 said:If you lost so decisively some tweaks are required or a shift to something more performing.
Which kind of decks are your opponents running? Can you draw some inspiration from them even with a small pool of cards?
Sometimes when I lose hard against a given card I feel encouraged to add it to my own deck (if said card is avaiable to me).
So previous season I was running a Nova armor deck with Vincent Meis, at rank 15 I got stuck and I had to play some meta deck to climb further: the infamous Henselt machine.
SoSaHer;n10923653 said:I think the most important advise here;
Play something new ;-)
I went from bloodmmoon to soldierspawn, from spellatteal to frost.
Just take something and have fun with it. I`m currently enjoying veteran skellige, which (for me) suprisingly hold it`s footing above 4k mmr
