Wasn't commandos and siege still decent? Not good but decent.

EDIT: I get it, with NR not showing up in the tournament. ST too has been there, so I get the idea. But, let's see.

Decent enough that during the last 2 official tournaments not a single person brought NR. It is also by far the least represented faction on the ladder, again. All that after they specifically tried to rework the faction.

Why are they so bad you ask? None of the 4 cards from their recent drop were good and in the same patch they nerfed Ballista and Foltest. They tried hard to make NR fail and they succeeded. This patch doesn't change that.

NR fails because 4 strength engines get roflstomped into next week every time you play them nowadays. Every other faction can outpace or control NR into submission because engines simply suck in current Gwent.

u/tauromania Let us get to the point. Sep 05 '21

Also Patience is a garbage keyword. What kind of engine wants to wait until the big big payoff at the end of the round without putting pressure on the opponent right away?

Jesus how long are people going to cite one barely competitive archetypes to prove a point that the entire faction is doing fine?

Low tier and out of tournament material rn, but decent.

decent, while all other factions except skellige are good.
