Skelliges Discard now nerfed into the ground
Hello all,
With Ermion, Svanrige, Clan Dimun Pirate, War Longship AND An Craite Raider severly nerfed, is this deck even playable anymore?
i tried and failed miserably in comparison to the deck before. I understand that the deck was a Top-Tier-Deck before and was hard to beat if you draw well, but with all cards of this deck that make it playable being nerfed, isn't that way to much? Why so much hate for this deck?
The main nerfs i appeal to in this thread are the Ermion nerf and the Svanrige nerf.
If you play the deck you really only want to hit your discards on the Raiders or Tuirseach Skirmishers. Everything else usually hurts your hand or doesnt belong in your deck anyway. With the way Ermion and Svanrige work now, you often dont get the chance to hit the right targets. Especially if you run a couple of discarding cards, Last Wish and Brans ability for instance. The way they work now you discard your good cards in hand and are stuck with low power raiders and skirmishers. And since discarding is a Skellige only theme, why does Last Wish perform as before, which is neutral, and Skellige now has the bad version? Are the strength nerfs to the other cards not enough?
The other nerfs are debateable, even understandable if you look at them selective, but as a whole the deck is near death.
I know that there still is the Pirate Captain, but usually it can get scorched or removed in any way pretty easily, since it starts with low power and rises to be the top power on the board pretty fast.
And come on guys. Nothing is as bad as constant weather bombardment together with drowners. That even did not got touched... hooray everybody now runs 3x First Light and Dimeritium Bombs!!!
Old Decklist:
(Not completly refined, and 27 cards due to being frustrated and adding more First Lights)
3x Clan An Craite Raider
3x Clan Dimun Pirate
2x Clan Dimun Pirate Captain
3x Clan Tuirseach Skirmisher
Ermion
Svanrige
3x Priestess of Freya
Restore
Sigrdrifa
3x War Longship
Geralt
Ciri
Yennefer
Last Wish
Scorch
3x First Light
Decoy
with Bran as Leader
What are your thoughts? Is it still playable and what would you improve if you want to keep using the discard-mechanic?
Best regards
