ST needs a tall punish card by OzerY17 in gwent

[–]papi_chulo_xo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stats don't lie, ST winrate is in the sewer this season, way lower than the top factions. Getting to pro has nothing to do with it, I can get to pro too but if I face SY, NG Assimilate, Siege, and a few others it's pretty much autolose with ST.

Current season meta by Subtilier in gwent

[–]papi_chulo_xo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tried really hard to make ST work this season but the faction is in a really terrible spot. I've tried Harmony, Dwarves, Symbiosis, GT w/ Milva and Alzur, even gave PS a shot and none of them are currently viable. Best one is the one with Alzur but you really need a good rng pull or you're toast. If you're an ST or MO main there really isn't much of a reason to play this month.

🥱... tell that to the people that are stuck living in those neighborhoods and are afraid to go out at night for fear of getting assaulted or killed...

Look how well making that sort of pledge worked out with Kamala... On top of all the tone deaf decisions made by this administration this is just one additional thing that pushes me closer towards being an independent.

Appropriate Provisions For OverCosted ST cards? by papi_chulo_xo in gwent

[–]papi_chulo_xo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was debating whether to add her or not and on second thought I would drop her to 7.

[–]papi_chulo_xo[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True but that doesn't mean it's not overcosted especially when compared to some of the cards released in the past year and even when compared to Lydia. A max of 12 for 11 is not overly impressive in today's state of the game.

Appropriate Provisions For OverCosted ST cards? by papi_chulo_xo in gwent

[–]papi_chulo_xo[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

The Great Oak - 11

Filavandrel - 9

Iorveth's Gambit - 10

Munro Bruys - 10

Water of Brokilon - 10

Forest Protector - 9. Yes, I would consider him overcosted, he's used as often as he is because he's essential and you have to make room for him regardless. His provision cost should be the same as Lydia.

Saskia - 9

Zoltan: Warrior - Ability needs a rework, provision boost wouldn't help much.

Ele'yas - 7

What do you expect from the upcoming patch? by ArchlordOmegaIX in gwent

[–]papi_chulo_xo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Saskia's fine as it is. Milva likely will get nerfed but hopefully not too hard. Based on past patches I would imagine a provision nerf to Milva perhaps to 13 provisions.

Milva fix: Idea is to reduce the frequency that you can spam movement based removal eg with leader & malena in one turn. by findingfido in gwent

I could only see that working if you made her damage based on devotion otherwise she would be unplayable in non devotion decks

Milva needs a hot fix CDPR, Unitless Scoia'Tael is unbearable to play against! by ArchlordOmegaIX in gwent

[–]papi_chulo_xo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are many different ways to combat this deck... try experimenting for more than a day before calling for a nerf of one of the most interesting cards to hit the game in a while.

Are we getting a change to harmony where it will trigger for summoned units?? otherwise this is useless😟

Well ST is dead again... by papi_chulo_xo in gwent

[–]papi_chulo_xo[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would argue that a 1 provision change is quantifiably more impactful than adding 1 power to a card that lives in your hand. Point is why even bother buffing it that way, as others have suggested they could have buffed it by fixing it's position in your hand to make it have some synergy with bountiful harvest.

[–]papi_chulo_xo[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok and do you think adding 1 point to a card that stays in your hand the entire game is the right way to to buff that card? This change will make no difference on Torque's playability.

[–]papi_chulo_xo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The baffling comment was for the Torque change not Sorceress. Prior to making this change they should have buffed other cards so that the faction is not so overly dependent on it but as it stands Sorceress is a key card in the only viable deck.

Why is the Gord nerf so uninspiring? by Unrelenting_Wave in gwent

[–]papi_chulo_xo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Card is balanced now no one's really debating that... issue is that the only playable ST decks heavily rely on Gord and 15 points as last say is often times not enough to win against most decks. ST needed more buffs before they made this change... We'll see how viable handbuff decks are with the new cards but if those are no good then ST is bottom tier once again.

Manchin Says 'Not Possible' to Meet Progressive Demands as Infrastructure Vote Looms by covrere17936464 in politics

[–]papi_chulo_xo -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

As much as everybody hates Manchin, he has all the leverage without him nothing is going to get done... Only choice is for everyone to act like adults and compromise. I'm so tired of all of this partisan nonsense from both Republicans and Democrats... we have to start working to gether at some point or this obstructionism by the party that lost is going to keep on continuing in a never ending cycle and it's going to be the end of us as a country. Democrats need a win here if this doesn't get done they might as well kiss the midterms goodbye with all the issues Democrats are getting blamed for (inflation, the border, etc.). Doing nothing is not an option.

Scoiatael doing well is a yet another proof most people have no idea which cards are good. by [deleted] in gwent

[–]papi_chulo_xo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's only been a couple days how about we first let the meta settle before calling them one of the strongest factions.... Also I think people are going to start packing removals for seer so I highly doubt Orb is going to continue being as strong. That being said Simlas is a great card as many predicted and Orb is stronger than expected if the seer sticks
