Well, it's just my own opinion but I don't think it would work. In fact I don't think the problem with this deck are the GS but rather the Pirate captains or the Corsairs, for example.
I would not change the GS at all, for me personally, they're just fine the way they are (strong but not OP).

I do agree that the pirate captains are too strong myself. Axemen, Greatswords, and King Bran all use them, it's no coincidence. I would also nerf the corsairs a bit, 3 points onto a resurrection are a bit too much. It gives you 11 points plus an engine when used on a longship. And it's 14 points plus 4 points to every engine when used on dimun warships.
Sure nerf Nilfgaard and Scoia'tael but leave Skellige untouched. Thanks CD.

Yes and I think it's a mistake CDPR has to stop making. Because a unit has less targets to tutor doesn't mean they have to be stronger.
The other example of this mistake was the Agitators (oh look, they can only spawn dwarfs so let's make them 2 str). The problem with this way of thinking is that, at the end of the day the unit does the exact same thing as any other resurrector that has 1 value and are therefore produces more value.
Every time a unit plays another card from anywhere, it should immediately be 1 str unless it's a Gold playing a Bronze or any specific case like this.
The Swap update seems to be really bad.
The Runestone cards, Winch, Elven Scout, Wardancer, Vrihedd Vanguard and Slave Driver all seem to have lost their character and purpose.
The random cards due to the Create mechanic of the Runestone cards already made it a risky play. And now, with them showing Bronze cards as well, it has increased the card pool by a lot. Moreover, now I'm carrying a Silver card in my deck that might play out as a Bronze card. This is obviously unbalanced, and I won't be surprised if everyone starts removing the Runestone cards from their decks. Instead, a separate Silver unit card (with a certain Power value) should've been made for each Faction which could create a Bronze card.
Similarly, the Wardancer and Vrihedd Vanguard, and the Scoia'tael lost its unique ability of triggering Swap abilities during redraw phases. And this has made the Wardancer mostly useless. I would've worked on developing such unique abilities for each faction, instead of nerfing them. Removing the unique features of different cards and factions will make the game similar and boring.
Winch was a bit over-powered for being a Bronze card, but it was okay. It'd a Henselt deck based around it, similar to the NG deck based on Viper Witchers. But with its currently ability, I doubt anyone will be using it.
The Slave Driver was a relativaly over-powered card, but its unique ability has also been removed, now turning it into a varied copy of that Monster giant, removal card. It could've been changed into a Silver card instead.
This is probably the worst update in my opinion. CDPR must realise that changing and nerfing cards because players complain is a bad business model. The silver lining to this update is that I'm looking forward to the Homecoming update more desperately now. An overhaul and re-balancing is a necessity at this point.
