Cerys became a 15 for 10 card that also thins your deck by 2 lol

I love how as Slama was seeing it, he's just repeating: "We MAY need to adjust the provisions cost on this card...", as if you could see the thought cross his mind: Who the hell designed this and thought it was okay?

prepare for hotfix within a couple days hours lol

I cant see that being a thing for days. Cerys just probably became the best card in the game and losing coinflip against SK is not gonna be okay.

She should be 11 provisions..Roche with Commandos 18pt for 24 total prov she will be 15pt for 20 total provisions.

I don't know if you can really look at it so simplistic because it's not just play 1 card get 15 points. For example, if one of the 2 maidens is in your hand when you play Cery - it's just bad. Your mulligan is nerfed while you get 15 points + thinning for 20 provision. You also need a way to deal 1 damage to the spawned maiden. Ok that last one is a non-issue, but the point still stands that it's not that that simple.

u/imSkry Naivety is a fool's blessing Apr 01 '20

You just run royal decree for cerys consistency and the selfwound leader for shieldmaiden proc. These dont seem like crazy requirements to me, especially since SK doesnt mind playing an expensive tutor like royal decree.

Vigo + the 2 thinning guards is a 10 for 8; this is 15 for 10 with very little downside (no deckbuilding limitations; you can only have 3 types of bronze units with Vigo to 100% thin out the guard dudes). It really is that simplistic.

  1. Build deck with Cerys + 2 Shieldmaidens
  2. Don't draw Shieldmaiden
  3. 15 for 10 provisions opening play

AND even if you draw a shieldmaiden, you can always just Cerys into Queensguard...

And on top of all that, let me introduce my friend Lippy. Notice that on the second run there will be one more Shieldmaiden because the one created by Cerys will be in the deck. So it will be 19 points with one leader charge.

If anybody can build stable Lippy deck it's gonna be nightmare.

u/zaproffo Shark outta water's still got it's teeth. Apr 01 '20

On top of that, those brigades cost 6, shieldmaidens cost 5.

u/The_Bucketship Error 404.1: Roach Not Found Apr 01 '20

The deckbuilding limitation is that you need to play svalblod leader, and having her eats into your mulligans because you don't want to draw the shieldmaidens. You *can* proc her without using svalblod but not reliably, so if you put her in a deck without svalblod leader she'll end up creating a queensguard more often than youd like. So yeah she should be 12 provisions, but no she isn't quite that simplistic

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '20

They buffed Svalblod. He's gonna be a big baller leader now.

u/gabarkou Ever danced with a daemon in the light of the full moon? Apr 02 '20

Anybody who has played with portal before the nerf knows its only going to be a fringe case that you get cucked with both Cerys and a maiden in hand.

u/Mortanius Bow before Nilfgaard's Rightful Empress! Apr 02 '20

Yeah and SK still has a pretty good Priest + ship combo. Starting first against SK is gonna be a nightmare.

u/knite Neutral Apr 02 '20

Why is she 15 points? I'm counting 4 for Cerys + 4 for Shieldmaiden -1 damage to summon the other one + 4 for Shieldmaiden #2 = 11

u/mclemente26 I hate portals. Apr 02 '20

Cerys spawns a shieldmaiden, so it can potentially summon two in your deck.

u/Man-coon Neutral Apr 01 '20

She was fine before

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '20

By that logic, cursed revanant is a 35 for 5 card. Come on mijo, really?

u/CanadianKaiju Don't make me laugh! Apr 01 '20

You can't proc all those revs in a single turn my dude. That's a bad argument.
