Self-Wound's New Tools Are Great! (Gwent Skellige Ursine Ritual Deck)

[@trowell200]

Nice to see Fuchsia Briefs playing a bit of Gwent again as well! Hyphen in the name checks out and casino Lippy was certainly his favourite 😂

[@AAAEA010]

That made me happy too but it was more bittersweet tbh I wish he’d start uploading again I used to be one of his patreons

[@leonardheypke6851]

hey man thank you for uploading, I rly needed that right now. I just wanna say I love your videos and youre like actually my favorite channel and just keep going and make those great videos. thx❤

[@JPPPPotTs]

I'm still waiting he and Shinmiri match up in Pro game ❤️

[@platinumpatrol2964]

Shinmiri is definitely a lot higher ranked than me so I don't think it'll happen unless it's at the start of a season

[@drdramatik]

Wow, what a cool surprise seeing Briefs still doing his thing. Hope he's doing well. And thank you for the deck! Hope to see you in my match ups soon! ❤

[@prateekgupta7544]

I used to play hybrid, now I'm trying your self wound, not gonna lie when it works its magic but sometimes i got destroyed with harmony decks

[@jaaaaaapa89]

Just yesterday I thought "I haven't seen self wound Skellige for a while, wondering if it's still any good", awesome content, as always !

[@xnoorx]

Oh baby its fuchsia!❤

[@trowell200]

Such a cool archetype, always feels like it has a place in punishing decks that focus entirely on light control - great to see Cerys fearless in there now! (Still feels like she could do with a one power buff though)

[@DennisJeppesen]

Oh man I just spend hours trying to make a new selfwound and I couldn't come up with anything. Thanks this was a biiig help! If you ever get the time I would love to see a deck with artis! Can't remember when I last saw him and I guess it's cause he is difficult to play?

[@platinumpatrol2964]

I've used Artis in Self-wound before. There's two main issues. A good amount of the Self-wound cards in the standard deck don't actually want to take half their health when played or don't give that much value. Artis really wants a deck designed around him but in my opinion he needs to be 10p so he can be brought back with Fucusya to accommodate making a deck designed around him. Rite just doesn't give enough value on him since he really needs the tempo from his deploy. The other thing and bigger issue is along the same lines that just slotting him the standard Self-wound typically means cutting part of the Kaer Trolde/Dracoturtle/Sigvald/Olgeird package that works so well together. Artis is an okay card in the existing deck but he's just not as good as the other options in the more standard decks. He's not that bad, he has synergy and thinning a card is good, but not all Self-wound decks want to run the transforming cultists. If Artis or any of the cards that go in his deck get buffed (Tuirsech Veteran the healing berserk one I think it is for example) I'll make a deck based on him. Otherwise the next time I do a Self-wound deck I'll try to include him. I do quite like him.

[@DennisJeppesen]

@@platinumpatrol2964 thanks that explains so much! My very first SK deck was a selfwound with artis so that is years ago when I had no idea what I was doing! You know how it is, you see a video copy it and thinks everything is gonna go the same way and it does not! 😂 I have tried him later but I always did the mistakes you mention here and you are right he should be 10 provision, I also thought about that blue guy who takes damage gives damage could use a buff, that would help right?

[@platinumpatrol2964]

@@DennisJeppesen Yeah Blueboy Lugos I'd like to see buffed as well. It's also somewhat of a meta thing for Artis where he doesn't get that much value into decks that play small units. Most played units in my experience are either engines or get their value from deploys. For low power cards Artis isn't that much better than an An Craite Longship + Naval Supremecy or an NR Ballista or two that can target their damage. If you play him against something that does play big units like Ogroids or Relicts Artis is actually great, but most decks don't play that many units with high base power (think of all the tall finishers that boost themselves - a simple Spores punishes that better).That makes it so to get a ton of value of out of Artis you want to synergize your own cards with him instead of playing him as an offensive damage engine, leading to the competition with other cards in the deck that are just better.

[@DennisJeppesen]

@@platinumpatrol2964 blueboy lugos that was the name! I always like the artwork on him. I can really see what you are talking about I took your advice and made a new deck and my win rate wasn't anything to brag about, and I did go against ogroids where he worked great! He did so well in that one game, I had a blast. But I had to sacrifices to many good cards or end up with no thinning and a bunch of 4 provision cards and then hope to get the right draws. Will look forward to when you get around to make a video! But you are right, he really needs to be 10 provision.

[@matijavicar9519]

great stuff❤

[@Unorthodox2049]

I was curious about something. while it is extremely refreshing to have a youtuber that doesn't try to shoutout their 5 different social medias in every video, have you ever considered making a discord or something? You are basically are the only english speaking gwent player that makes these types of commentary/deckguide videos left

[@er4din903]

There is Qcento and Shinmiri that still make content in the English speaking community but agree I love me some platinum turret action

[@sexygarlicbread]

Seconding that I'd like a PP discord, but if it's more than he wants to manage, I can understand that

[@Unorthodox2049]

True, but shinmiri uploads stream vods and ropes like crazy (no offense to him he's a good player and creative but damn lol) And qcento doesn't upload like he used to unfortunately

[@danieldavis7569]

Get the animated Olgierd! its one of the best premiums in the game!

[@platinumpatrol2964]

Will do

[@AAAEA010]

Hey man I’d hate to nag or trouble you but when are you gonna get the audio fixed

[@trowell200]

The audio sounds fine in this vid to me actually, I know some of the recent vids sounded a bit off though, does it seem quiet or something?

[@AAAEA010]

@@trowell200 hard to describe but yeah it’s quiet and uncomfortably scratchy? It used to be much smoother about a month ago

[@platinumpatrol2964]

@@AAAEA010 Was it bad for you in the GN Deathwish video too? I'm asking because my hard drive ran out of space when I'd almost finished recording this so it broke the recording and I lost the file. I had to redo the video so if the sound isn't bad in the last video before this it could just be because my voice was tired from having to re-record and talking longer than I'm used to. I thought I improved the audio but if it's still not good I can take a look at it again. I'll try tweaking a few things anyway and see if it makes it smoother.

[@AAAEA010]

@@platinumpatrol2964 yes the deathwish one isn’t much better it sounds rather muffled.. I realize that you have a different setup after you moved, but you sounded so much better in your milva and SK sihil video yet weirdly enough the SY off the book video in between them did sound off, I dunno man.. I sound so whiny and I’m still enjoying your videos but I can’t deny that the audio is affecting my enjoyment sorry 🫠

[@platinumpatrol2964]

​@@AAAEA010 You're not annoying me by bringing it up! To be honest I thought I'd fixed it and wouldn't know otherwise if people didn't say things. I usually listen to things at pretty low audio levels and listening to your own voice is weird, so I didn't notice much of a difference between the last couple videos and the ones before I moved. As for the Milva and Sihil ones, I did them prior to moving so I'd have things to upload. Then I found time to record the Off the Books one at the new location and decided to upload it in between :) Thanks for your feedback and I have a couple things that I'll try for the next videos that I think will help. There are also some post-recording processing I can do but I generally try to avoid that. If the audio still isn't good enough after my fixes I might give it a shot.
