Climb Fast w/ Shupe Ale of the Ancestors! Balance Council Poll in Description

[@Komodo513]

Thanks for keeping the balance council discussion alive and well, Glad to participate! I’m still going to shill for Noonwraith and Aen Elle Conqueror power buffs.

[@spoodernike]

New boss fight unlocked: Shupe, Ale of Ancestors

[@ricci1002]

Great gameplay as always 😀One question though: Is the "NG Enemy Boost" deck from the first matchup a solid deck? I am really thinking about playing this one.

[@shinmiri2101]

It's decent, but recently nerfed. Likes long rounds and having round control.

[@ouwebok3356]

Not good but its fun! Not very proactive though. Relies on going second a bit

[@farrel_ra]

Its my go-to deck to go pro! Really fun & ez to play (thx to Calveit monotonity), tho its been long time im not playing and now i got deranked to rank 7, im trying another deck to not get bored (again, i hate calveit deck; so monotone, thats why ez to play, consistent to climb rank, like this video thumbnail said). After i reach rank 3 (same rank when got rank reset for new season from pro), ill be back using that deck again for the final push.

Omg the 16 cards theory.. I get it now. Where do u learn all this theories mr? Is it from lerio's blog? I haven't found any in his blog that tells about this 16 cards theorem..

[@shinmiri2101]

Players can organically arrive at the "rule of 16" on their own simply by playing and building decks over time. The first time it was explained to in a video (that I know of) was by Gorflow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJymdZivYtWcaZY. Lerio also has an article on it here: leriohub.com/into-the-deckbuilding-rule-of-16/#:~:text=The%20Basic%20Rule%20Of%2016&text=In%20each%20normal%2C%20full%20game,generate%20the%20maximum%20possible%20value.

Hey shin, what do you think of vryghyff? I’m still salty about his rework because it ruined his combo with slave infantries.

[@shinmiri2101]

I'm with you. He was more interesting before his rework. Not sure if he's worth buffing at this point.

[@flammifer-sl2tj]

Midrange deck with vryghyff, cow spawn-er and NG witcher trio was one of my fav deck back in 2021 :'(

[@ansleyrodgers9684]

Hey Shin, I've been playing this deck and it's super fun, but now since the most recent balance council, I've had to make some changes. With Calveit going to 11 prov, I initially dropped Ramon for Artorious Vigo. Then I thought, what if I dropped Sergeant for Dwim? I'm leaning keeping Ramon and putting Dwim. What are your thoughts? These seem to be the only 2 viable revisions, do you see any other paths I could take?

[@ansleyrodgers9684]

I guess dropping Blightmaker and Mage Assassin is another potential choice. Then there's Remedy, but I can't swap it for a 4p tactic because I have 1 of each already lol

[@ansleyrodgers9684]

We keep Ramon and sergeant, drop blightmaker combo for dwim and a pellar or something

[@shinmiri2101]

I would probably play Imperial Marine instead of Sergeant, but Dwim is a fine choice too, and blightmaker combo could also be cut. You could also consider Assassination over a 4p tactic and then play more 4p units like Pellar or Slave Infantry.

[@ansleyrodgers9684]

@@shinmiri2101 cool, I hadn't considered marine. Dwim has been pretty nice. Thanks for the reply!

Hai,bro. Can You please reply to me with a link to the Best NG deck right now to your opinion? I am new to the game, like 1 month, Rank 9 achieved with one of the decks You showed to us in KZbin, but right now i think is not working well. I am talking about assimilate NG deck.

[@aralyaren4759]

Try Enslave Assimilate 1. Torres 2. Artaud 3. Stefan 4. Braathens 5. Calveit 6. Coup de Grace 7. Vigo 8. Lydia 9. Nauzica 10-11. Mage Torturer 2x 12. Duchess Informant 13. Experimental Remedy 14-15. Tourney Joust 2x 16-17. Oinment 2x 18-19. Imperial Diplomacy 2x 20. Emissary 21-22. Obsidian Mirror 2x 23-24. Battle Preparations 25. Anna

[@aralyaren4759]

If you like double cross assimilate, check Dosen Casual Gamers Gwent content. He plays assimilate well.

[@jyteks522]

Maybe play this deck or Renfri? They are easier than assimilate but also fun. The truth is you can play anything playable to pro rank. People play like monkeys missing so many points. I gave my friend upgraded harpy deck, he reached pro rank and he plays so terrible...

[@zorgovenga]

"right now i think is not working well" You do realize it's NOT the deck's fault, right? Assimilate is one of the best decks not just in NG but overall.

[@poonwingwong]

I have tried this deck and it is pretty descent. However, Jan calviet is not always at the starting hand. What is the strategy if Jan calviet is not at the starting hand? Thank you very much

[@shinmiri2101]

You can try to War Council for him if you're desperate. Otherwise, just play some bronzes and pass on 7 cards can also work. Then in r2 you play Calveit, War Council into Ale/Truffle, and hopefully Ale/Truffle from hand. But it's definitely harder to win without Calveit in r1.

[@poonwingwong]

what trials btw, is it marvel midnight suns? 😁😁

I guess you mean Kena: Bridge of Spirits? We are streaming this as our current variety game and the trials are incredibly hard on the highest difficulty.
