We need a Thronebreaker-style game narrated by Gaunter O' Dimm

[@elien902]

Be careful what you wish for

[@NikimKrow]

he may grant you this wish

[@liewnoswald7159]

that'd be nice, sorta like acting as gaunter's errand boy (again) to deal with several of his "clients" seeing from the hopeful beginning of the deals to the end where the contract comes to bite them back in the arse.

[@RustCohle072]

Sadly I doubt they'll ever make another after the financial failure of Thronebreaker, even though it was largely due to lack of marketing and only initially releasing on GOG.com. We can dream.

[@elien902]

Lach Ness I heard the timing was also wrong because the gameplay in gwent is much different, didn’t try it yet myself though

[@vladmods]

Jacques de Aldersberg was a fascinating foe. Man, the Witcher 1 is sooooo underrated. Such a bold and fabulous game of great depth! Fisttech, dice poker, drinking games, even the now frowned upon romance cards with their illustrations... The Order of the Flaming Rose & the Scoiatael's crusade and king Foltest, a flawed but great king. Most game "journalists" nowadays claim that Witcher 1 is irrelevant which is more more a testament to the irrelevance of gaming journalism than to that of the Witcher 1. I'll always defend this game.

[@MrVictor1227]

Yes man. Witcher 1 was really good

[@lehatikhonov]

I think Foltest wasn't a great king. A great person maybe but not king.

[@Boogeyyyman]

Though Witcher1 had worse quality comparing it with Witcher3 it was a great game and had with Alvin/Jaques de Aldersberg a better Villain than Witcher3 with Eredin.

[@bugrayaln4159]

Great idea for a card CDPR, big fan of W1 and the twist at the end when you realize little Albin became Jacques de Aldersberg, the Grandmaster of the flaming rose. I have been waiting for this card since the Salamdra cards.

[@bobjones3677]

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Jacques the Aldersburg? I thought not. It’s not a story CDPR would tell you.

[@alexchu2270]

Jacques De Aldersberg was a Grandmaster of the Order, so powerful and so wise he could use his charisma to influence the people to create fanatics... He had such a knowledge of the Power that he could even keep the ones he cared about from the white frost. The Elder Blood is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so influential...the only thing he was afraid of was losing his influence, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he misinterpreted Geralt's lessons and the witcher killed him with his silver sword. Ironic. He wanted to stop monsters but became one himself.

[@timaglam9140]

@@alexchu2270 tnx for the effort, new to the world and eager to learn everything

[@overrock90]

Awesome crossover ❤️

[@Boogeyyyman]

Jaques de Aldersberg :"I have been waiting for you Geralt, we meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master. " Geralt :"Only a master of evil, Alvin" Jaques de Aldersberg :"your power is weak old man"

[@Bakfor]

Man I'm really happy they gave Aldersberg some real love. His card descriptions are great as well they depict how he's morally gray nicely. Siegfried being neutral makes it so he can be with both his Flaming Rose bros and the North too very clever. These evolve cards have some real flavor to them I like it.

[@marcellsz9990]

[@arkadiuszpaterak]

Isn't this a play on the Teutonic knights order?

[@TheOldBlackShuckyDog]

Arkadiusz Paterak maybe, as I guess the books are polish. But the name Jacques de Alderburg (however it’s spelled) is remarkably similar to last grand master of the Templar’s Jacques de molay

[@Melthazar]

His racist hatred towards elves may has to do with the situation that young Alvin was held hostage by Scoiatel. Another hint that Alvin and Jaques are one and the same person is that young Alvin likes to plays the Grandmaster in the game "kill the elves" and wins.

It's clear that Alvin is Jaques de Aldersberg from the beginning. Everything you tell young Alvin influences Jaques de Aldersberg. And in the white frost vision Alvin appears as vision with Grandmaster Jaques Shadow. Later when Jaques is dead and geralt finds on Jaques de Aldersbergs corpse the amulet he gave Alvin but just in older version gives hints that Alvin teleported back in the past and grew up to fanatic leader of the flaming rose

Awesome card... But Syndicate and firesworn? Really? I mean ethernal fire was invented in 1268 by Willhemer, when he threatened Philippa, he would blame mages for everything for what they (especially Philippa) have done. The Witcher 1 is 5 years after battle of Brenna so 1273 (not 1271, they messed up years, you should add 2 to every Witcher game year). So technically they existed at the same time. But de Adlersberg's order worked for temeria and firesworn worked for Willhemer and Hemmelfart. They had really nothing in common. He should be definitely NR card

[@RickyMuzakki]

NR is Duny/cursed Emhyr

[@pwopyt3811]

@@RickyMuzakki It would actually make no sense. Would it? Emhyr var emreis, heir of Nilfgaard and later the biggest enemy of NR as NR card? It makes less sense than Kalkstein in SY Edit: it can't be emhyr. One of his arts has already been revealed in other card

[@Kellogs_Gaming]

So which effect of the final card is correct? Here it says "gain a coin whenever X" on the reveal site it says "Boost self by 1 whenever X" - the latter would make the veil on this card alot better and also looks more in line with the ursurper
