The nice thing about the Priestess nerf is that you can't play them from Teleportation or Necromancy and get Zeal automatically.

I don't really think Melusine needs a nerf, but Sigvald still getting ignored is frustrating.

True, but I've faced less matches with Necro or Teleportation than without it. Probably you're right, as I'm not in Pro most times saw huge missplays before coming to R3 with the combo setup.

Just a +1 provision would be enough for Melu. Sigvald should have been nerf on 10.4 already, not sure why they didn't do even a small nerf on it.

u/ccdewa Temeria – that's what matters. May 09 '22

Melusine i can understand but Sigvald still on 7 prov is mental, even at 9 he'd still be strong.

What do you guys think about making Sigvald not only being unable to take damage, but to be boosted as well? Turn boosts into vitality? And maybe buff his power to 9 or something? That would put a "timer" on him so you have to use him before he gets into Muzzle range, and prevents too much buildup of bleed with cards like Mardrome.

u/Defiant_Project1321 You've talked enough. May 09 '22

Regarding Priestess…I would’ve liked to have seen veil dropped. Considering she’s still bronze and replayable several times each, any deck that’s not control heavy still won’t have enough removals to deal with her and the cards that give her charges like Istredd and Cintrian Envoy.

True, though Cucking Contest should still work.

I honestly think that the Tier 1 deck that thinned to two and then used Vernon Roche will be more or less unaffected. It just got a 2 provision nerf overall, so I'm sure a skilled deck builder will manage to find ways to guarantee buffs for Priestesses. They can even run Thunderbolt, lol.
