I used to hate SK Warriors with my body and soul as they were super oppressive and have been tier 1 for many many seasons until PoP finally powercrept the hell out of them. With this current meta, even though ST has couple of strong decks, I don't like ST. It is my favorite faction now and forever, but somehow this Spell'tel doesn't apply to me. I am more of GT Movement or DA pure-elfs guy which will have no chance in this meta. So, I wanted to try a different faction and wanted to try SK warriors. The pure breed SK devotion warriors.
SK Warriors, at least in this current state of the game, seems really well balanced. It is a joy to play. SK warriors have generally a weak round 1 and only excel in long round 3 with Herald and all control+point cards like Hjalmar, Madman, Skjordal and can easily out-point most other decks from pre-PoP era. The cards which in my perception were too OP, seems perfectly balanced now. Currently I wanted to try two different decks (with a lot of cards overlapping of course) and I have been having around 50% winrate around 2400 mmr.
There are a couple of cards I want to give a mention to. The Warcrier; this is my new favorite card. It is proactive (it comes at 4 and if it gets removed, who cares? If not, this is a very good solid engine). In a long round sometimes I open with Hearld+Warcrier and it is really good. The other card is Herkja. I think she is the second best 7P-4Strength-1armor card introduced, closely following Dunka who I think is the best of that lot. Herkja helps in getting Bloodthirst and mostly warrants an immediate removal.
SK is my least favorite and least played faction, but I know about SK as I used to face a lot of them. So, I am asking SK veterans (like @DRK3), which leader do you prefer for warriors? I tried PF and RF with most bronzes overlapping and a different take on top deck. These decks perform ok-ok and can beat some cocky or newbie players in pro rank who thinks SY and MO will always 2-0 any other decks. If you were building, how would you modify these decks? Or anything I am missing here and some tips to improve these decks.
