Mr Platinum blessing us with a lot of content lately, love it! Keep em coming

[@platinumpatrol2964]

I'm trying something a bit different this month. Instead of making the deck and playing a bunch of games with it prior to making the videos I'm making the videos after only a few games. It means the decks might not be fully optimized and I might miss a play or two, but it lets me get out more videos quicker.

[@Fubidoo]

@@platinumpatrol2964 Very nice, I am not a content creator but generally speaking if you want to be a good content creator you gotta pump these videos and make em frequent. I like ur approach!

[@maidenless7]

Nice to see firesworn get some love:) Some of your opponents though… seemed like they wanted to loose judging by how they played

[@szymonk.7267]

Deam I love this deck syndykat is so underrated , I would love to see more of them ... wen I think about it , I love to see every faction except nilfgard ... or skelige

[@Rohanmahesh8995]

Nice to see Firesworn get some love. Regarding the 8 prov slot, maybe replacing Roderick with something like Whoreson Sr might be worth considering? You'd have to switch around some of the bronzes to include more crimes, but I remember at one point Congregate Crimes was one of the best SY decks because of the Whoreson Sr. combo

[@platinumpatrol2964]

Senior is a fun one. It's hard to justify taking out the 4p units for me, but there might be a version that works nicely

[@florianmahl2065]

@rohanmahesh8995 there is a pretty decent firesworn crimes list on the ladder, check Out Kungfoorabbits Channel for the deck list

[@jaredbetz8201]

Game three, you could have excommunicated the False Ciri. Wouldn’t have had the choice of three cards, but that was a lot of points they got, might have won you the game.

[@platinumpatrol2964]

True, good point!

[@jasv49]

Yep and he should've tried to bleed R2, at least there would've been some chance, but zero chance like this

[@platinumpatrol2964]

Yeah I wanted to but I had no Fallen Knights to revive with Cyrus and no bronzes for Ulrich. Probably still should have and tried to rely on Scribe and Priest with Helveed. That makes it so I can't spawn any guys in the coming short Round 3 with Helveed since he's by far the best way to do that. It's a hard matchup.

[@nathanbouzar9240]

next time banish the false ciri with that card that looks at the top 3 if its firesworn (very convenient to check your entire hand before playing and making sure you made the best move, kinda like chess!) xd

[@andre.neomotion]

I just cut the 8prov elder bear, procession and Roderick to fit Jacques. I Also cut junior and added ferko for extra consistency

[@platinumpatrol2964]

It's really annoying Bank isn't a crime

[@saucebauss7964]

Crime firesworn deck is strong this season I think with the lined pockets leader. You should try that. Ironically the best way to play firesworn is not with the leader for firesworn.

[@platinumpatrol2964]

That's been the case before too. I might give it a shot

[@saucebauss7964]

I recommend that you also try the collusion gamg deck with the pirate cove leader. It is really refreshing in this meta because it is a fun deck to play for me anyways and you can beat a lot of decks and don’t have to worry that you will lose constantly. No better feeling than winning against a renfri ps deck and when the combo for the collusion conects is also great.

[@platinumpatrol2964]

I'm definitely going to be playing some Collusion once I do some decks for the other factions. It's been my favorite SY deck even before I revealed Sigi which made me like it even more.

[@guillemmir9449]

So what's the winrate aprox? and on what rank? i dont mind it not being a triple SSS deck but having limited resources to craft i wouldnt want to waste scraps... love the spanish inquisition theme tho

[@platinumpatrol2964]

I was 11-6 at around 2400, but that doesn't really mean much at the start of the season. If you don't have a lot of resources I'd probably avoid Firesworn since so many of their cards are exclusive to their archetype

[@guillemmir9449]

@@platinumpatrol2964 true i guess, thank you for answering its really nice seeing someone uploading commentary on their gwent games i like hearing your thought process while playing

[@adrianchase9399]

That SK player make me angry 💀💀💀. I would win this match up easily if I got 2 warlord out in r1. And the way you use order for Saint Geogory is not optimal. You keep forgetting that his berserk 1 ability also damage all opponent units by 1.

[@platinumpatrol2964]

Yes, I think I said the exact same thing at the end :)

[@RustCohle072]

Support comment.

[@Ryan-kb8ui]

Beating that patricidal fury was nice, even though he helped you big time by making major mistakes, still seems like such a poor matchup for firesworn, and on top of that, you're using congregation leader ability, which I think is easily one of, if not thee worst leader ability in the game, I feel like OTB or LP is just better for firesworn. I may try this out, with otb, while I'm rank 3 or 4... I feel like it'd be too rough for firesworn in pro

[@walterf5651]

Did you end up discarding Roderick after uploading this video? Just wanna know if you did because I imported the deck and wanna try it. I love Firesworn because the card art and lore is super fun to me. Too bad it's not competitive in most cases due to power creep :( But thank you for the video, keep them coming. I am glad there is still Gwent content on YT and I like your commentary

[@platinumpatrol2964]

Yeah I ended up going back to a non-devotion version

[@user-kt5rw5pf5q]

why no Miracle child?

[@platinumpatrol2964]

To try out Roderick and Von Herst
