Scoia'tael ball-busting with Vrihedd Sappers
Let's face it, the majority of ranked players use Scoia'tael. The most used strategy on the upper end of ranked is to deck-burn to re-use Ciri Dash into the final round.
I began experimenting today with a combo of Vrihedd Sappers and Dol Blathanna Trappers.
The result is beautiful, because the top strats rely on special cards for deck-burning you end up annihilating their rows very quickly unless they pass which is fine for you to power ahead.
Usually what ends up happening is your opponent wastes his Blue Mountain Commando's trying to throw them onto your side of the table which of course you can counter just the same but either way their strategy becomes completely broken very quickly. Dol Blathana trapper can be used to herd your opponent toward the first two rows which allows geralt ard to annihilate them as well.
Ida Emean when used at the right time works wonders as well (such as prepping ahead of your opponents attempt to decoy up Yaevinn after you just used him to spring one of the traps and take out another row etc.
Downside is there are bugs I've been running into which make the game force a draw due to server errors. I'm trying to button this down before I report it.
I haven't run into a single player using Vrihedd Sappers other than myself yet but honestly... I'm loving this. Good way to stir up the stale deck types.
