Yeah, reveal is better without spotters right now. In my opinion, the best way to play reveal is early tempo (almost no deck can do that better) and lategame with scorch and borkh. Kind of sad, that they changed so many round 3 finishers. No reason to play pirate captains anymore aswell...

I am playing this right now on 2700-2800mmr (almost from the start of the season), works pretty good. I tested around with 4-5 different versions. If I face a lot of Consume Monster, I switch Gremist for Donar.

I managed it to reach 4490MMR today, then got back to 4300. I am done with this season...

I stopped playing Queensguard because of the graveyard hate (for a long time ^^), but I do have a pretty good Skellige list. Took me to almost 4300MMR. It is really different from Queensguard though, but maybe you like it: http://www.gwentdb.com/decks/31876-4250mmr-berserker-marauder-selfwounding-skellige

I need to check how good especially gold weather is after the patch (or merigolds hailstorm). I might see myself putting in other golds like Gigni or Aard.

 I am one the guys who dont like Adrenalin Rush in greatsword decks. If you draw them it feels bad most of the time, if your AR units get removed it feels also bad... And its a card thats only good in round 1 or 2... and even then its not super good. If you want to thin your deck, i like to play Warmongers and Raiders. Its just a Solid 11-13 (from round 1 to 3) combo, that thins your deck.
In the goldspot i would recommend Avallach, because your deck really benefits from long rounds. In the other gold spot i like to play Madman Lugos. Its not only a removal, its also a way to get a card from your deck into your graveyard for ressurection.

If you want to take a look, for inspiration, i have a decklist online which did really well: http://www.gwentdb.com/decks/29442-greatsword-skellige-3800mmr

In times of hailstorm and Goldweatherspam I can really recommend to play 1 copy of Clan Tordarroch Armorsmith, that card is just nuts right now.

I've just played a few games on the pro ladder though I can't search my gamer tag on the leaderboards.... so you need to reach a certain number of points before your rank will register?

cheers!

I guess i would play 2 Lacerates instead of 2 Tremors. Also 2 D-Shackles is a bit too much (especially when you dont play Villentretenmerth, then Shackles become way better in my opinion). Assire also doesnt make too much sense, cause you have nothing to really thin your deck (which also makes Ciri Dash worse). 

With this deck how it is, you will end up a lot of the time with a hand full of useless cards (when your opponent doesnt play into your answer cards).

And yeah, i guess also you wanna play weather in that kind of a deck.

edit: And scorch, in that kind of control lists, you wanna play scorch.

Yeah, yesterday i reached lvl 20 too and i got a Nilfgaard Leader, was pretty disappointing...

Lol, some people...

What do some people do, sit for hours looking at their collection page totally entertained?  That falls in the category of "get a life."  lol.

I think Morkvarg is far and away the strongest deck at the moment. Other than weather monsters I agree with VarVV, but I would add tempo/ reveal NG you gotta watch out for that round 3 Tibor.

Jesus...
You really think people ask for nerfs because they don't have the cards to play Scoia'tael? xD
And everyone asked for Monster and Axemen nerf...
And why is Hjalmar still 24 points? It doesn't matter, cause no one plays Hjalmar!

Hey, thanks mate! Nice to hear those kind words and also nice to hear you have good success! :)

Hey, Nomad had a pretty good idea (here in the comments) - just playing Ciri in that spot. I tried it too for around 10 matches now and its really good, I will the change the list soon and add a few new Videos in which you guys can see Ciri in action.
I also considered adding white frost, to have another weather, but i didnt try it yet. If you dont have Ciri, you can also try something like Stefan Skellen (good with Alchemists+Foot Soldiers) or Vattier. Geralt Igni might be also decent. But if you have her, try Ciri.

Oh, I'm sorry, didn't think about that card.
Actually, Regis might even be better in the mirror than Eskel. I am always scared to play Eskel to early, because they could just resurrect the destroyed unit. With Regis you get around the same value in points, but without the risk of resurrection.

Interesting. Yeah, I played Ciri few month ago in Bloody Baron NR too, and I really, really liked it. Didn't try her out since gold immunity patch, but i think she is still fine if you don't play her too early, so the opponent doesn't have that many answers in hand.
The only deck/faction I am struggling against (especially with the weather) is the usual Bran Skellige, they always have Gremist and Sig and I feel like I play with two goldcards less than my opponent xD Against most other factions the weather is (for me) really strong.
If you wanna replace another goldweather, I kinda like Stefan Skellen in this list. You can put something on top, and then draw it with Alchemist+Foot Soldier.
Anyways, glad you're having fun with the deck.

Hm, hard to tell. Regis is an overall okay card in my opinion, but its better in a meta where you can eat specific winconditions. I guess its okay to eat an Impera Enforcer or Impera Brigade, but I dont know... NR can ressurect important units with Shani, Skellige say 'thank you' if you put something into their graveyard, Monster doesn't care at all since they put a trillion Nekkers in their deck anyways. I guess it's really good against Scoia'tael. I am not the biggest fan of Eskel myself, but since I don't play Madman Lugos in this list, I wanted to have a hard removal.
I have to check anyways how good the deck still is in the following days, when the meta settles a bit, also the restore nerf... have to check how good it still is.

Yeah, good point you have there. Most of the time I play for much tempo and force him down 1 card, which is not really better than just drypassing, I dont know. I will try that.

The Thing with Venendal Elite is, our last bronze slots are kinda awkward anyways. I put Mardroeme, Lacerate and Venendal Elite in, because I had 3 spots left and didn't really know what to do with it. Lacerate did a really good job because of the rowstacking when I play goldweather. Mardroeme has been really underwhelming, but I just cut Sweers for Roach since I didn't face many consume monsters anymore, and I would like to have still an answer for Nekkers, maybe thats wrong. And well, Venendal is most of the time decent atleast.
Actually, First Light has been underwhelming too, because of the bad bronze pulls, maybe we could cut First Light, Mardroeme and Venendal for 3 Standard Bearer for rowclear of weather. But I don't like them too much...

Feel free to suggest something if you have any ideas :)

Nice, I would love to hear your opinion after you tested it! I changed it a bit now though.

Hey, I should add that, thanks for reminding me: Target for Operator are the Foot Soldiers. You get thinning (even better than just thinning, you also draw the top card), tempo and your opponent gets a 4 point bronze.

Hey, I faced a lot of Consume Monsters, and Sweers basically just destroys them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q177k4ZP5uQ&t=1s
Against other decks just sweer anything you don't want him to have more of. I sweer Raging Berserkers before they can Battle Maiden it or Impera Enforcers against Spy Nilfgaard. Also the first Dwarf that comes out of Dwarfen Agitator (they often run only 1 for the consistency).
But I will test it more, to see if it really is necessary (had a few conversations and we didn't have the same opinion ^^)

Thanks mate, glad you like it!

Hey man, very nice deck you made there. I tried it a bit and I was thinking about Scorch instead of Decoy since this deck has basically no targets for decoy, but also no high stat units. Also not every deck plays a spy, SK for example.

I topdecked decoy a few times when i really didnt want to have it in hand. What do you think?

Wow, Henselt with Quen is really something new for me. I would use Coral on that. In that matchup I use coral often to disrupt their gameplan, like playing it on Siege Support or Stenis. Now Stenis is weaker, so no clue if it's still necessary. Beside Coral there is literally no other way to kill them. But it's not unusual to lose round 1 against Henselt when he uses the leader on Siege Support.

Hey, I am still testing around with similar lists. I think Hailstorm is still good, but I have to test it more. In fact, I did cut both goldweather and added Geralt Aard and Yennefer in that similar list. Also added 2 Lacerates and one Herbalist. Climbed with that weird new list from 4200 to 4280 this afternoon, but everyone is playing some weird shit xD So I cant really tell whats good and whats not.
To be completely sure, you have to give me a few days :)
If you're interested I can send you my new weird list or upload it here in the comments, but like I said, my good results can come from people playing new stuff right after the patch.

Kinda, yeah xD

Nice Deck, +1
