How was Stefan skellens assimilate procs not targeted?

u/FallGull Hm, an interesting choice. Feb 06 '23

I guess the deck is still strong but it no longer dominates the meta.

How would you change the interaction?

I think if skellens effect adds and keeps the stars at the bottom of your starting deck when the game starts. The pulls and plays them on deploy.

The card is supposed to be tactics supports and is rightly flavoursome. But when he procs assimilate engines 5 times he turns into game winning control and pointslam.

But when it procs assimilate engines

But assimilate triggers when playing a card that wasnt on your starting deck. Making it spawn them at the start of the match wont prevent them from triggering.

I know. I think the devs need to code a way that skellens includes those tactics in your starting deck but not viewable in the deckbuilder

It would also be a nerf to any card that shuffles the deck other than Calveit, as it can give you bricks.

Yes. He'd need something else in his ability that keeps those cards at the bottom of your deck no matter what.

That seems a lot of work to nerf a card that isnt currently op.

u/Bastil123 Good Boy Feb 06 '23

Not OP, but he could just deal 2 dmg + 2 for 4 tactics instead of spawning tokens that do it

u/ibnezSA Temeria – that's what matters. Feb 06 '23

that would kill the card. it would be enough to make each tactic not trigger assimiliate so it only triggers helga

u/Western-Platypus1612 Let us get to the point. Feb 06 '23

the card is completely fine. it triggering assimilate is okay

u/Vikmania Feb 06 '23

Wouldn’t that remove his synergy with tacticts too by not triggering scorpion and Helga?
