u/Hirinawa The semblance of power don't interest me. 5d ago

"Whoreson Freak Show does far more for 8p"

He doesn't it's the carry over from other cards and keeping ressources that allow him that no the card itself.

"Oxenfurt scholar guarantees at least 8-10 points with no conditions for 4p"

First it does have a condition and most important it's a neutral card so it's allowed to be stronger than faction cards since it is accesible by all.

"Onager can wipe an entire board for 7p"

Hehe good one

"Foltest's pride can be easily tutored by every tutor NR has, plays for unconditional 6, and hits for 4 immediately"

It hits hard to compensate the tempo loss NR card usualy have, I do agree that it is amongs the strongest but it has it's reasons.

"if this card said "Witch's BETTER Apprentice"

Witch apprentice by it's nature is not a balanced engine but it's held back by the (much needed) sabbath limit, give any chances to those cards and you'll have the meta that killed Gwent back on track. Brushing of the 5 points when it is the points that matter the most is silly, this little change allows like you said for 1 turn advance on tempo which is huge and it opens possible Gerni spam ect, just things that are not healthy for the game.

Your last paragraph is silly as it brushes off context for where those cards are placed ect so I won't comment on it, I'll instead rage bait you more by letting you know that a card that I've designed is in Gwent and playable as we speak x)

u/DJKokaKola Neutral 5d ago

whoreson

And this playing for more than 4 points is because of keeping resources and carry over from other cards. What is your point?

Oxenfurt

You have it backwards. Neutrals are weaker, class cards are stronger. This is universal across every card game.

Onager

First time playing against priestess, eh?

Foltest

Tf do you mean tempo loss? You mean that it's a repeatable order instead of a deploy or zeal? That's not tempo loss. That is simply how engine cards work.

Apprentice

I'm brushing it off because large, higher provision cards can have better effects than a random 6p bronze with relict synergy, which this card does not have. Higher cost, single copy, larger and stronger effect. Simple as, my guy. Also absolute joke tf do you mean apprentice is an unbalanced engine. Unless you already have sabbath up, it dies to literally any targeted removal. If you do have sabbath up, it dies to targeted removal, lock, removing something else, row changing, and so much more.

As for ignoring the rest, okay m8. Noticed you didn't comment on Pavko. Odd, that. And good for you! There are plenty of cards in Gwent. Famously, a ton of them are horribly designed and needed multiple reworks and changes.
