Seems like some decent changes. Cradback is no longer locked behind such a horrific grind. And even actually doing something to a certain duo this time... But yeah, people will still have a lot of questions.

Will the create cards ever be changed? Will Lambert: Swordmaster ever be playable? Will Clear Skies ever be playable?
Are Viper Witchers and Traheaern var Udyffir ever going to be changed? Will Coral get back to a balanced state?
Why is there a card like Shupe's Day Off in a game where there isn't even any real reason to have duplicates and everything is balanced around provision costs?
Why does Usurper's leader ability even exist?
And so on.

Friendly reminder that with Damien and the neutral double deploy card, You can now play the witcher boost card 3 times in an emyhr deck. *I mean because you can copy the deploy with letho"

Great patch, with one complaint; there's basically no thinning and with the hand size being "too small" at 10 cards, there's even more emphasis than ever on quality of deal.

Ah, I was adjusting all my decks, which had cards provisions changed and as the last, I was fiddling around with my Eredin Breacc Glas deck centered about Keltulis. After making changes with this deck for about half hour (took the most of time from all of my decks), I noticed, that Eredin gives immunity no more ... oh, so much effort for nothing. :(

Balance changes implemented are, in general, acceptable. Some of the most concerning issues have been answered (unicorn-chironex combo, massive use of the witchers, Skellige discard tempo, etc) eventhough there are still some problematic cards (like viper witchers or Traeharn among others).
The thing that saddened me the most was Eredin's new ability because I find it weak and lacking flavour (comparing it with Ardal or Eist). I hope we can see a Wild Hunt archetype in the future and some kind of rework for the wolf witchers inspired in what they did with the crones (that was a pretty interesting design).

That Eredin's change...
Look how they massacred my boy.

Maybe change him to a charge based shield leader?

Hold up! Witchers got NUKED wow.

Witchers almost unplayable (24 prov 6 power).
BUT replacment is already here PORTAL (13 Prov with power from potentially 6-8 depending on what you put in your deck and what you draw).

no refund for the cards that simply become unplayable?
Click to expand...
You already got the refund that you were able to use too strong cards before the patch. And that (atleast some of the) too strong cards going to be nerfed is something that should be expected.

Conerning the changes itself:
I think most of them look good. But the Witchers seem to be hit far too hard in my opinion. Keeping their provision and only lowering their power would have been enough. And Eredin change has made him far worse even though he got a slight provision increase. But shield and immunity aren't comparable at all. Giving Eredin two charges and reducing the boost to 2 seems much better to me.
