I think abduction needs a buff more than Sandor, it can be awkward to set up effectively even if you go all in on bottom deck clog, and it has a reasonable ceiling
NG haters are going insane in the chat. Yeah, we know you hate top clog, almost everyone does. But here is a little secret, buffing Sandor to 9p won't make it so you can't compete with it.
Good stuff Shin. The NG hate is pretty funny. I almost feel like the attitudes towards the factions are just an extension of the lore. In gwent and lore, everyone usually hates the NG empire. Skelligers get left alone on their islands, and you never see much hate in gwent i feel like. SC always has certain pesky dwarves or elves like the lore, etc
I don't understand the question. If you want to finish top 500, then the more games you play, the better chance you will have. If you only have time to play certain number of hours per month, then it's more efficient to climb later in the month as your opponents should on average be a bit easier. But I would not worry too much about what time to start climbing and just play.
Most of chat are post-homecoming players. Definitely don't know who Radovid Africa is, even though CDPR made two nods about this joke - a skin and an achievement.
Shin, do you have anything that can 100% winrate against the stupid otkell deck? I play every second game against that deck but I cant figure out what beats it.
Graveyard hate for Freya helps a lot. Banish or seize their only two boats also denies a lot of value from Smugglers. Clogging their deck messes with compass. This video's Rience Abduction deck can do all of those things!
As a NG player this past Balance Patch has been incredibly disappointing. Nerfing NG seems to always boil down to people that haven't yet mastered the game complaining about the faction for unsubstantiated reasons. The back and forth between Sergeant and Driver, instead of actually buffing the weaker cards so they can compete with those two is tiring to see. For the exception of Driver, the nerfs have been egregious. Nice deck btw
Well to be fair the different coalitions didn’t go for big nerfs to NG, it was just the random player base votes that went for NG nerfs as always happens every other month, next month NG lovers will outnumber them and it will just go the other way 😂
Because its the most brainded faction? There arent any interesting decks in NG. Only fun deck is Letho/shupe/radeyah deck, but thats never leaving tier 3.
Soldiers and Toussaint Hospitality are pretty fun in some variantions. Same with Construct decks, Aristocrats and some Assimilate/spy decks variations too.
the NG hate on the chat was insane, NG has been catching like 6+ nerfs every single BC for 0 reason and with no compensation at all. the faction has the lowest wr% since BC started pretty much, the haters just can't stand a deck that interacts and controls their own pointslam brainrot decks or their 100% thin to 0 cards every game decks getting clogged or milled
NG has become the easiest faction to play at ranks 5-1 and low pro, every nilfgaard player in every single game be like Kalveit, Torres, filler tactic and then leave. They have all-gold hand in the second round and either push or defend easily with their own gold + smth Torres created. That's it. Every game and nothing changes.
@@toxic4dr355 blame the shitty balance patches not making other forms of ng interesting enough. I wanna to go back to my double cadaverine hefty helge deck years ago, or ciri nova ng or even make soldiers a little more interesting to play
1:39:34 this was super well calculated actually, didn’t even rope down to 0 seconds working out the win by 1 point
I'm telling you, Gwent is about to blow up again, I hear it on the wind
That game 6 Lydia was SICK!!!

49:24 Use your leader and the coated weapons on Brawler, then use Rinse to discard... oh never mind you did it.
Are there any plans to buff the lineage package?
Saesenthessis Blaze would be a target to consider!
Hi Shinmiri! Can you tell me what is the best time to start climbing, cause i want to finish in top 500 this season?

NG has to be the most crutch faction have ever seen. Its the most uninspired garbage faction.
