Gwent | ARE NORTHERN REALMS KNIGHTS THE NEW META?

[@Qcento]

Alt version with shield package here: www.playgwent.com/en/decks/guides/343195

[@gnarles1374]

Bronwyn's infuse only works with abilities not attributed to the unit. So if a unit has a boosting itself ability, it doesn't double the boost. It doubles the boost of cards like mad charge or vysgota charges. so instead of 5 from mad charge, you get a boost of 10. Or your leader charges for example are also doubled on the infused unit. So you can use your leader for 5, then 4, then infuse a unit with Bronwyn and get 6 instead of 3 from your leader. In case anyone is looking for an explanation of the card! I kept infusing errant knights at first and was confused when it didn't work.

[@farrel_ra]

tfyi! and infuse it to vandergrift for carryover infusion!

[@Im_Anthonyy]

The knights are a really good and interrstinh archtype but having a Squire tagged as a knight when he is precisely in the step before of knighthood seems a little odd xD

[@Kazuhiro-i]

Haha details

[@davidbillings5074]

No different than the Banard students being tagged as a mage. They are students. 😆

[@sparta1821]

also remember that infuse from bronwen and in general is carried over by vandergrift so extra value there

[@slammedc2003]

Here is something crazy, I just discovered this game Aug 2022 and wonder why I haven't been playing it. It is great!

[@simplejack5910]

I don't think I've used Bronwyn's infuse correctly one time ever.

[@farrel_ra]

Ikr? Tell me, which "other" boost is that card meant? Is it only from special card, or also other unit's boosts?

[@TuffLP]

@@farrel_ra it's everything apart from boosts by the infused cards efs. So leader, stuff like Mad Charge, Arondight, Scenario, Vitality all get doubled. If u boost someone like Windhalm however´, the +2 every turn doesn't get doubled.

[@BLP04]

@@farrel_ra anything besides the unit’s inherent boosting abilities

[@farrel_ra]

@@TuffLP so if other unit boost it, it gets double boost too? tfyi

[@Jwam94]

You can use it on a few things, Knight errant is good turns into a 4 point engine. I like to play it unboosted from hand though if I’m doing that plays less into tall punish

[@SneakyCrocodile]

That cardback is all I can focus on, it's so fitting and just sick overall.

[@DuchessTonii]

Knights seem really good with so much potential and looks like fun! Looking forward to the afternoon stream whenever that is. My time zone doesn't allow me to join in the Twitch streams 😁 So tuning in to one stream would be amazing

[@greenho4]

Got myself to 4 from 15 off the season reset with a Natalis - AA variation, this deck is insane

[@warclericwill4]

If you would have used bronwen on anseis in that MO game, before you used leader on him, you could have boosted him to ten.

[@caiovinicius5204]

That's exactly what I though, lol

[@dariot5225]

Imagine how much carryover he would have if he gave that to Vander...

[@florianschwarz9460]

Played knights yesterday and came up with something very similar to the alternative version had a lot of success with it, nice to see knights viable now after the Renfri nerf! Today is monster scenario day for me, I'm excited to see what your next one will be

[@user-gk3sg1fh6k]

55:05 I was so sure that Q will hero pass at this point... why didn't? It was guaranteed to win the round by hero passing. I thought Q knows the Kelly deck's tempo better than anyone.

[@Dragooncore]

I'm still enjoying the Siege deck you made a while ago. C: Have you played a Witcher deck this season? Would love to see one with the new Witcher cards.

[@TheFundertaker]

Wait.....what new witcher cards ????

[@biggestchungus6849]

@@TheFundertaker there are none...

[@alloyeongwent]

knighthood definitely the winner of this patch .. it is more on theme and bonker point

[@RostyslavShpakowsky]

I'd like to see a new shieldwall deck. That's my favourite NR leader

[@hwq1234]

I love knights. Was running a knight/shield hybrid similar to yours before I stumbled upon this. Having great success and fun with it so far! Recently there have been alot of Yrdens and Im thinking of subbing out Anseis for Ihuarraquax. Do you think it's a good idea?

[@gabrielmoreau8716]

Hey Qcento ! Loved this video. Do you think it's a good idea to replace maiden shield with Jaskier ?

[@bittersteel7922]

Whats jaskier?

[@bittersteel7922]

I mean which card?

[@gabrielmoreau8716]

@@bittersteel7922 Jaskier, the card from northern realms

[@Zarturael]

@@gabrielmoreau8716 Jaskier is the polish version of the card, which also appears in the TV show where they call him Jaskier, but Dandelion is the card and name in English, that's why he's confused about what you mean

[@cnfnbcn3227]

Very good video! I'll let myself be picky and say I hate that you cover my beloved Yen with web camera ;P

[@InfamousTub]

I've been using queen meve with the Knights. Having luck.

[@YerlansMusic]

Preety cool deck, ill try playing it today

[@sierrajohn789]

Pretty cool deck, did you get the chance to play pirate this patch ?

[@simplejack5910]

Just won by like 50 points down a card against Renfri

[@paulogouveia855]

It took forever for Q to add his actual face to these videos, also would you mind explaining the addition of boiling oil to this deck? It seems like an out of place card.

[@farrel_ra]

basically like r1 card to remove engine, like nekkurat. Q love to hv at least 1 removal like that

[@Qcento]

It'd be a Saskia purify tech, to remove something with infuse or early engine removal.

[@tiagowandertribeiro4312]

I just played against u haha and yes I lost wasn't my main deck tho 😆

[@firstbreath1371]

Those bronzes man XD

[@ChunLo21]

Why run Dorregaray instead of Margarita? Wouldn’t being able to tutor the latter with AA better? Or is Margarita more expensive(?) Haven’t played for a few patches and my memory is failing me :((

[@caiovinicius5204]

No, same provisions. He talked about it at the start, but I honestly forgot lol. I think he just prefers it

[@PulpeFS]

Deploy is always better than an order (against sk boat for example)

[@MrMywishlist]

There was an opportunity to hero pass the Kelly player in round 2. After the opponent played Xavier.

[@farrel_ra]

korathi could win?

[@MrMywishlist]

@@farrel_ra He didn’t Heatwave scenario.

[@666snail]

Requested comment, sounds all good

[@tobi2892]

what is the best NG deck at the moment?

[@iamcaptsv]

Can anyone help me understand the tactic on winning/losing on odd/even?

[@hieuvuminh8761]

this deck has a super terrible weakness: yrden, you are guaranteed to lose if the opponent have yrden

[@Qcento]

Knights are definitely vulnerable to tall punish.

[@monkeybunny89]

Too much point inflation. Only lot 5 decks in pro rank atm.. 70% of cards not used, more unused cards more than ever before.

[@farrel_ra]

powercrept basically

[@idrisdjack5807]

Are there any assimilate decks that work in this meta

[@farrel_ra]

assimilate cultist, with braathen and scenario

[@letzl]

Theres no real point in playing Dorregaray over Margerita is there?

[@farrel_ra]

arnaghad or prophet could counter margherite

[@Qcento]

Also An Craite Longship.

[@treyback7617]

You say you don’t deserve that last win but just think of it as karmic recompense from the universe for the times last season when you lost to Renfri because she was the most overtuned card in the history of the game, not because you played badly.

[@Rednxss]

Yrden is writing......

[@caiovinicius5204]

Yeah, pretty strong counter. KG won with this deck against Yrden though, so it's definitely possible

[@gwynbleidd511]

What's up with the sound?

[@aj863]

Why dorregary and not margarita?

[@Qcento]

Onslaught matchup boats would hurt her but not him. We don't have AA in that list either so there is no synergy with choosing her over him.

[@igreaves8129]

But did he GG you?

[@Qcento]

yeah!

[@ivanangeli]

I love your videos, but this new type, direct from streaming, is really hard to watch. previous system where you edit videos were much more user friendly for me, respecting my time and giving me what I want - just gwent, with you commentary focused on game. I rarely whatch these till even half, because I get tired of waiting for reading chat to finish, and much less focused commenting (as your attention is divided)
