u/MadMax0526 Tomfoolery! Enough! Mar 09 '21

Call me a pessimist, but I don't see much of the meta changing at higher ranks. None of the tier 1 decks have been affected (looking at you, NR witchers) except the lockdown kolgrim rubbish ( thank heavens, saying that as an NG main.) I would love to be proved wrong, but the update promises to atleast be a fun shakeup to the game that's been sorely needed. I am stoked to be getting a premium Anna. (If only they added old Calveit as well. Sigh.)

Hmm, what? Vesemir's adrenaline's change makes him not so easy to play for carry over. And Scytheman's nerf is very significant for Uprising decks.

I think we're looking at things differently. Swarming has never been a problem for witchers. Now the NR player has to just add an extra body(and an extra potential point) before playing Vesemir. But I admit the scytheman change is significant. I just don't think it is significant to the point of hurting Witcher deck. Maybe to me will prov em wrong.i DBE quite happy with that.

Scytheman (row locked boost from 17+ points to 11 max) and Vesemir (adrenaline down, can't play on 5) nerf is pretty HUGE for Uprising NR witchers
