I made an all out spy list with Strategic Withdrawal and Ramon for max value off the enforcers. Works out really well though I'm missing some big cards like CDG. The value you get off both the enforcers and the aristocrats is insane. The only problem is that they do fill up your rows so you have to be careful with the sequencing. I ended up losing a match to an NR player by 2 points because I didn't have place for my Sweers on the front row.
As a person who's main deck is not Nilfgaard, i must show begrudging respect to how good this deck is. Playing against this deck tho would piss me off lol.
I've got a big problem with NG. There way to win is poisoning cards and even worse now, stealing them. This mechanics are very frustrating. I prefer losing a card because of "rupture" than to see it yoinked. Nothing against the old spying unit ( duchess can bé really fun) but the mage who deal 3*2 seems undercosted. Ball should be nerf for me, it's the anti-fun, anti-deckbuild card, because it destroy everything alone
Strategic Withdrawal is best leader ability with spies imo. Makes super a 20 point play Plus you can play scenario 2nd to last play and do the combo and then you have 38+ points from poison removal
Great video Freddy. One comment, I’m not sold on Braathens as he just feels like a more expensive Art Vigo. Have you tried experimenting with Coup de grace with Fergus/Torturer to replay enemy golds for assim value? Keep up the good work and hope to see you in more tournaments soon!
I think coup is a little too unreliable for my tastes - really requires some kind of setup which can be awkward when you wanna go with different sequencing. Braathens I think is great because you don't even have to play the cards he can spawn but you still gain the flexibility on the ability - artorius requires you to play weird stuff to enable him and make him reliable
@@Freddybabes Thanks for the insight, agree that vigo requires some restriction on deck for reliability. I'll be trying out your deck and aiming to hit rank 5! Appreciate all the effort you put in your videos and hope you like your new flat!
1) No Ramon? 2) Imo Urcheon only good for sinking dmg that would go to Enforcers... 3) How about dropping Cupbearer for Rot Tossers? Synergy both with dames and with "spying engines"?
Unless I'm missing something the Cupbearer is meant to be a flexible tech option specifically to deal with ruptures or the other odd instance when you need purify. Rot Tossers wouldn't help with that.
Hawks16 yeah, I know right, but I’m playing his mid range/no boats shenanigans. To be honest that is my only saving grace that people will expect GS/boat nonsense, but then I’m like surprise b*tch 😂. I think GS are now just too easy to counter now that people know what to expect. Win first round against them and bleed them in round 2 and games yours 99% of the time. ✌🏻
I hate nilfgaard. There are so many players who go and get a nilfgaard deck because they leep losing from it. It is a sad faction and i dont like playing against it
There used to be faction packs for 1200 powder. Each one of them contained Avatar, board and leader skin. There are Emhyr's, Brouver's and Demavend's. If I remember correctly, monsters and skellige didn't have any.
I feel like size should only be able to steal units with BASE power 3 and not any power 3 unit. It's a huge swing of power stealing any unit, and even more if you steal one that can grow. I like the concent, doesn't feel good to be in the reciving end tho.
Lol,game 1 opponent had worse hand than you .Put on only 1 engine and that got locked too.It's a wonder why he didn't pass sooner .Played 2 gs with 3 pings in hand.Ahh pro rank. Didn't felt like decent opponents.playing 2 invaders in r1 ,wow ,what other bronzes better than that!
I hate playing against Nilfgard. I'm capable of winning with the "new" Monsters sometimes but I really think that Nilfgard has to be nerfed in so many ways.
1. Hoizhaggerfuass I’ve played against this exact deck about ten times. Thought I was going to rage quit the game honestly but then I picked up Northern realms and beat them all since.

"Every day I play a deck and it feels like the strongest deck I've ever played"
We notice. :)
And we notice the clickbait potential too:)
@@myburn6733 I think the clickbait reflects real enthusiasm, so I forgive it.
I just made this deck and completely destroyed Skellige. Thank you, sir.
10:22 that's it, we broke this boi
God damn, Freddy. You've outdone yourself with this one. Really fun, really strong, kicks second winds arse, what more can you want.
Fergus is sooooo good, he gives charges to enforcers even when his targets are already spying
Does he also gice charges to thirsty dame?
@@shahrilmdnoh4926 yup
Best replace for Affan? I've all these except for Affan..
Victor Jr he said seditious aristocracts
@@mrchristmas4872 if you dont have afan don't Play imperial formation Play other leader

Thanks for the deck brotha, I played you a couple of days ago, and I beat you with your own deck lol, the student became the teacher!

That's it. Our problem is consistency drawing a card😭
If it's breakhand. Thats makes us nothin'
You look like such a nice guy, please dont lose that. Thanks for the laughts.

Skellige forever!
Thanks dude you saved my life!!
Freddy: "optimised deck"
[Me seing imperial formation masquerade ball spies deck with devotion and only one tutor]: What the........
Well red coin squezze
Amnesty just power creeped Sweers
Best feeling is playing the mirror and yoinking their own operators with Fergus+ usurper.
Great video Freddy. One comment, I’m not sold on Braathens as he just feels like a more expensive Art Vigo. Have you tried experimenting with Coup de grace with Fergus/Torturer to replay enemy golds for assim value?

Bratheens is SO MUCH better than vigo

At last but not least. Good Freddy. That's the deck what I am waiting for. Great to see Nilfgaardian Great again. Praise be to the great ⛅
consistent draws may be a problem with no reliable tutorsr
This is why i don't get the whole 'SK is the most top tier deck'. It is completely counterable with any strong NG deck, or even Syndicate.
Nilfgaard finally !!
did that game 1 duny just activate its ability on the WRONG ROW?
edit: I am sorry. I just realized i have zero reading comprehension
Fuck me, it is really strong deck !

Dude I just started destroying with the Skellige deck and now you stab me in the back and show people how to beat me tsch 😏😝
Honestly if you play GS I cant feel bad for you 😂😂

@@crazyfisting531 Don't worry ,you can't tell this ddck is good since the opponents are so trash.
Spies and stuff
Wouldn’t assimilate spies be stronger than this? Not enough spies to get good value from enforcer or assimilate cards.
That relies too heavily on getting engines/spies. Ball is just unbelievably good it's hard to not include it.
I have to hold myself back from commiting to NG kegs because of the unstable meta. I am so tempted every day.. >_
real man play skellige
I think skellige and northern realms are the 2 best deck at the moment
@@mikechrist9699 I was weak. I gave in to the Empire.

The opponent's Veil unit still got doomed from the rez. Interesting coding
I think veil puts a block on new statuses. Example the ST Echo can put veil on a doomed unit is still doomed.
Lol,game 1 opponent had worse hand than you .Put on only 1 engine and that got locked too.It's a wonder why he didn't pass sooner .Played 2 gs with 3 pings in hand.Ahh pro rank.
Didn't felt like decent opponents.playing 2 invaders in r1 ,wow ,what other bronzes better than that!
That Northern realms deck from yesterday was shit. 0 wins against Skellige
I hate playing against Nilfgard.
I'm capable of winning with the "new" Monsters sometimes but I really think that Nilfgard has to be nerfed in so many ways.

Rather die using skellige warriors than live having crafted masquerade ball
Gwent really sucks right now.. seriously unbalanced.. and getting more boring.. so sad syndicae suffers the most from this stupid expansion
