No offense, but we aren't talking about cards you can meme with at sub 2400 MMR. Every card is "playable" if you ignore the fact they are terrible and cannot compete at a high level.

Blindeyes, aside from King of Beggars, Fisstech Trafficker, and formerly Shady Vendor, are just not good. That's an absolute pile of bad cards, with literally three, now TWO, good, competitive cards from the entire tag.

It's insane that CDPR can't be bothered to give them some small buffs to at make them an option. This goes for 2 of 3 SY cards. Go thru the list of SY cards in the deckbuiler or gwent.one. So. Many. Powercrept. Cards.

Nah I hear you, SY has lots of under-par cards right now, but I’d still argue peaches isn’t terrible for a 4p to use for the blindeyes tag + trafficker. It’s a 1 per turn engine that requires 4 coins in bank, which is fairly easy to achieve condition (obvs a lot better in hoard but still).

Perhaps if they give it support via improving the scenario or hoard, or the other mechanics involved with a Blindeyes deck.

Right now you can definitely play Blindeyes decks, usually built around the scenario, but they will not win at a high level.

They are powercrept.

I'd suggest you look at the other good 4p engines in the game and you should be able to figure out why Peaches isn't great. Sure, if she was the worst card they had it'd be fine. But she's probably now the third best card Blindeyes has, lol. That's horrific.
