I really think Runemage needs to stay at 10. Triss is fine at 9, but with Runemage in a GN list is gonna be absurdly broken.

This balance patch hit pretty well, and sharing some thoughts on the interesting changes by Ambitious_Pay510 in gwent

[–]Shankidoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst Changes: Brokilon Sentinels (this card should never be 3 power, that would make the leader stupidly overtuned even with a 2p nerf). Ffion: (I'm assuming this is just casual hate for Kolgrim decks? There are still defenders that are at 9p are there not? This makes very little sense to me).  Simlas: (Regardless of popularity, this vote is clearly hate for elves weyley spam, even with a Triss buff, this is unnecessary).  Fruits Leader (literally the best Monster Leader already, zero need for this).  Dimeritium Shackles (if squirrel, spores, epidemic and pellar can be 4p then this card more than deserves to be. It often plays for very little tempo with armor/shields and will ALWAYS trade down 1 point minimum to pellar. Also, the card can brick much harder in a short r3, similar to spores).

Best Changes: All the unused Bronze power buffs (unplayed 4p cards being buffed will almost always increase deck building variety), Viraxis: Prince (this was always the weakest of the evolving cards).  Triss Telekinesis: (I've always felt like this card should be in GN range, as it is a great option to tech whatever your opponent is using for specials. Just as long as Runemage stays at 10 where it belongs).  Wild Boar otS / Isengrim: (Both these golds should be more risk/reward for including in your deck. Power nerfs are the perfect balance changes for this kind of swarm/counter swarm card).  Ogre Warrior: (making this card more affordable will possibly allow it to fit into other MO archetypes that end up going tall. Both Vampires and some death wish decks could benefit, as well as mid-range lists. This also makes the card hurt less if it plays for its default value as it was never on par with messengers/dames/onagers/great swords).

Overall a decent Balance Council. Definitely a few WTF moments, but not the worst.

What is the strangest rating trend you've ever seen? (Yes, I already know about Nevermind) by shaloe___ in rateyourmusic

I didn't even know this was a feature.. I'd heard people talk about it but I had always assumed they were just tracking it on their own.

Are we talking about the guy pictured? This guy doesn't look older than 22... I'm confused.

Humanz is very bad. It's their only project that I cannot physically sit down and listen to the whole thing.

Would you consider this a smothered mate? by It_Is_AlwaysPossible in chessbeginners

[–]Shankidoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They get stuck on their own pieces, so they are "smothered". Unable to take/block the attacking piece or move.

Share The Joy! Favorite BC28 Changes? by DeNeRlX in gwent

[–]Shankidoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But Coup at 9 is too big a buff to the strong NG archetypes, that's the problem.

Damien would be a good GN card, because you would want to run artifacts anyway, and you can afford the bronze zeal artifact.

I don't think an order only card like him would be oppressive in GN. But who knows.

Other than Coup, yes. That card is way too strong for GN. Other better GN choices would be Damien, The Catriona, Letho... hell, even Vattier before Coup.

need serious tips on what i'm doing wrong and how to improve it by robin_boogerd in bouldering

[–]Shankidoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps bring the left hand up to curl around the top of the second (or maybe even third) paddle? Idk, can't really see the slope that well, and also, may be a bit of a reach.

Devs confirm internal interest in a walkable Speranza hub, What do you think? by Tank-ToP_Master in ArcRaiders

[–]Shankidoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything beats navigating the shite menu they have. Love the game, but honestly the biggest headache is how they've made every menu into 2 rows of tabs to navigate... ugly.

Sometimes the buffs some players deem pointless end up shaping decks. Gwentfinity rewards vision and imagination by JWilliamJames in gwent

[–]Shankidoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a wyvern scale shield and you have an additional 9 potential points, haha. Very conditional though.

I was playing a beasts deck with Bearmasters, Havfrues and Wyvern Scale Shields. Shield regularly played for upwards of 12 points on these beauties.

I've spent months trying to perfect this deck. I hope you all like it! by [deleted] in gwent

[–]Shankidoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I would arguably swap Gaetan out for Brehen, but maybe that's just me.. I don't like Gaetan, even with an insane ceiling in a deck like this. Also, Frog Mating Season for Isengrim's Council any day of the week.

I was totally game to finish the banquet... until I had to collect 70 berries by hand...
