Replacing Cleaver / Olg & Royal Decree w/ Geralt: igni
Hey all,
I am currently running this deck:
http://gwentify.com/decks/open-beta-dwarf-resilience/
and absolutely loving it.
Two things I am debating:
1) Swapping Cleaver for Olgried. I rarely if ever get to use cleaver for anything other than his power. I initially put him in to unlock locked resilient units -- only to realize once you unlock them, the resilience does not come back. The one thing that makes me hesistant about Olgried though is that I rarely, if ever, get a round 3. I either win the first two rounds, or lose; basically, if I get to a 3rd round, I've already lost. I keep expecting to use Cleaver to lock core mechanics, especially of NR/NG decks, but it just seems like whenever I REALLY need him, he isn't there.
- If anyone has suggestions for a better replacement than Olgried, I am down for that too (just not marching orders).
2) Swapping Royal Decree for Geralt Igni. Royal decree has saved my ass MANY times, but there are other times it becomes a 'dead' card -- and I have seen geralt igni work wonders. I may even debating taking out the mardroeme if I throw in geralt igni, as he would destroy the single-buff unit that is the counter to my deck (hence the mardroeme).
-if anyone has suggestions for a better replacement than Geralt: Igno, I am down for that too
3) Does anyone ever have their Yarpin get alzur thundered? I had a commenter ask if he should play dennis before yarpin, and I told him no, as I've never had my Yarpin get alzur thundered, but as Im breaking the 2k mmr mark, I think I may start seeing alzur thunder... do 2000+ MMR decks run thunders? Please let me know.
I am also sometimes hesitant when I have 2 golds in my hand to mulligan (my last mulligan), for fear of getting a saskia/decree -- this also applies to later rounds when I've played all my golds. Any advice on this?
Thank you all for your input.
P.S. this is for RANKED mode, 2000 MMR level
