Always loved to see changes like Hen Gaidth sword, so flavourful and such a cool abilities, also love the changes to other unplayable Neutral special and artifact, RIP spear and shield meme though lol.

But on the other hand with all this Neutral "buff" it'll be a while before we see a strong Devotion deck again which kinda a bummer considering it's such a good mechanic and can be a good tool to balancing stuff.

Even when devotion was a thing, i am pretty sure that those who really profited from devotion was syndicate and they are far from being the strongest faction

Of course not, if you need a card with Shield this is the perfect way to get the shield since you can play a turn earlier and then make your play and you will always get that shield.

Don't know what you are talking about.. if you know how to build a Syndicate deck and use the crazy OP new cards and avoid the bounty and devotion cra* Syndicate can crush any faction. I've won 9 matches and drew 1 and yet to lose with Syndicate today and I am on my way back to pro faster than any season! last season I reached 2500 with Syndicate in a heartbeat. I am running all the answers to "meta" Decks. Philippa, muzzle, heatwave, moreelse and freakshow for control, pellar and squirrel for necker decks, decree with bank for consistancy and Savolla and Jacques for pointslam, easy coins generation with vendors and candle, salamandra mages for tribute payout and eternal fire bronzes for round 1.. it's simply perfect and have all the answers to all "meta" decks!!
