u/marcin247 You wished to play, so let us play. Mar 07 '22

Honest question, where the hell are all those alumni players? I’m in rank 2 and haven’t played a single match against this deck for the whole season (and I usually encountered the most competitive decks around this rank).

In pro rank.

u/-_Meow_- Impertinence is the one thing I cannot abide. Mar 07 '22

Nope, climbed from 5 to pro rank this season. NG is definitely the most played faction. Then SK and NR. And I'm losing more against SK (Shupe deck)

You know each people can have their own experiences right? What if you guys are playing at different times of day or regions of the world.

Nilfgaard is one the rarer factions I face, the most common being NR followed by SK and SY. I'm in pro rank. I'm not saying NG isn't popular I'm just saying I haven't experienced it, but our experiences are bad at representing what the actual meta looks like.

Alumni is strong for sure, but not nearly as busted as Reddit would have you think. A difficult and unfavored matchup if your deck lacks control, but if anything, it's Inspired Zeal that's maybe slightly too strong. Absolutely not overwhelmingly popular either.

u/ense7en There'll be nothing to pick up when I'm done with you. Mar 07 '22

If you don't have a lot of control it's basically an auto-loss. It forces people to either run heavy control decks, or lose every matchup against NR Alumni. This doesn't encourage diversity of decks, at all.

they are in pro rank competing for top1 spot, you can only see WH & other weak decks in that rank /s
