This list, like Liz Lemon, strives to ‘have it all.’ It avoids an all-in mage strategy by omitting greed cards like Idarran and Runeword, favoring instead the Inspired Zeal synergies like Raffard’s Vengeance and Seltkirk. After weeks of refinement, Northern Realms has found the perfect balance between carryover greed and midrange, allowing both tempo bullying and explosive value in r3. However, as the community has had the opportunity to cut the fat from these lists, a clear winner is emerging. At the beginning of the season, we released a ton of different decklists that, while very different in game plan, shared a lot of these cards. So many powerful tools, it’s actually really hard to fit them all in one deck. In the newest expansion, Northern Realms received some powerful new tools. And with these all new and old control and pointslam cards Midrange/Siege seems to be some of the top dogs this month.įollow us on Twitter and Facebook, join our Discord, or support us on Patreon. Midrange and Siege are both using the new cards like Raffard’s Vengeance and Alumni to its advantage. Mages took the seat of the most toxic archetype of the expansion due to its ridiculous carryover game plan. We can find them in a few decks, most notably being Mages, Midrange and Siege. The most recent expansion was the support the faction needed, skyrocketing NR to a very strong place with the new cards. Due to popularity of NR Mages and other swarmy decks, Kelly managed to find a foothold in the meta.Īnd finally we get to Northern Realms. It allows you to replay your Kelly and other big engines, making for a very threatening bleed. However some players found a creative way to use the new Sabbath card in the Kelly archetype. Monsters are still lurking in the shadows after last patch’s nerfs to relicts and can’t quite compete with the rest of the meta. All of them are using Fucusya on its own way and due to her incredible flexibility. In Skellige we can rely on few decks, such as RF Control, Druids, and the new and dominant Rain-Melusine. Skellige got huge support to the rain archetype along with the extremely strong legendary Fucusya – the old Second Wind leader ability with a body. Even the nerf to Gord isn’t enough to stop this deck. Now ST can slam 2 engines in one turn with Simlas. Bountiful Harvest seemed to be enough to make Nature decks viable again. Old Assimilate deck is as good as ever with the new card Lydia as a flexible midrange card.Īfter some experimenting with handbuff at the start of the season, Scoia’tael players came back to Nature’s Gift. Nilfgaard didn’t receive many changes, but due to the Alchemist rework, the Location will be unable to switch a third card from the top of both decks. We can see new cards like the Brute in both Off The Books and Pirates Cove Bounty decks. New expansion gave SY players some new Bounty toys, pushing the archetype into the lime light. Good-old Jackpot is making an appearance again as a Midrange version. With the loss of Lined Pocket, players are experimenting with other leader abilities. Syndicate has fallen from its throne due to the huge nerf to Tunnel Drill. The new expansion Harvest of Sorrow arrived on the 5th of October, bringing with it dramatic meta balance changes. “Now it ends.” is the best passage in the books but i still enjoyed seeing it come to life on screen.It is finally here. “No,” Ned said with sadness in his voice. The blade was pale as milkglass, alive with light. He unsheathed Dawn and held it with both hands. “And now it begins,” said Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. Ned’s wraiths moved up beside him, with shadow swords in hand. “We swore a vow,” explained old Ser Gerold. “The Kingsguard does not flee.” “Then or now,” said Ser Arthur. “But not of the Kingsguard,” Ser Gerold pointed out. I thought you might have sailed with him.” “Ser Willem is a good man and true,” said Ser Oswell. “Ser Willem Darry is fled to Dragonstone, with your queen and Prince Viserys. I was certain you would be among them.” “Our knees do not bend easily,” said Ser Arthur Dayne. “When King's Landing fell, Ser Jaime slew your king with a golden sword, and I wondered where you were.” “Far away,” Ser Gerold said, “or Aerys would yet sit the Iron Throne, and our false brother would burn in seven hells.” “I came down on Storm's End to lift the siege,” Ned told them, and the Lords Tyrell and Redwyne dipped their banners, and all their knights bent the knee to pledge us fealty. “Woe to the Usurper if we had been,” said Ser Oswell. “We were not there,” Ser Gerold answered. “I looked for you on the Trident,” Ned said to them.
