*A deck that relies on stacking*
Scorch: So you have chosen death.
Me: *Builds well balanced northern realms deck that fits my style perfectly*
The Blood and Vine DLC: “Here is a new faction that you never saw before. It has no spies and only 1 medic. It is based around deathstacking easily scorchable units and pure luck what you get to hand from start, no matter how you optimise your deck. Now go, win a tournament with it and say you liked it!”
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck....
1 million% garbage deck. My spy deck will beat this 10 out of 10 times.
This is me rn, hence watching this video to try to deal with this BS
Bad Timing bro u have no idea how hard this tournament is
@@TheBullWillWin I mean, I do, cause I beat it lol. But getting used to Skellige was a pain. Switched back to Foltest as soon as I finished the quest
Bad Timing same
It's insane how CDPR can make a great game INSIDE a GREAT game.
Yeah, even if the story is about a fantasy game, it fits perfectly inside a card game
Northern realms all the way.
Isn't spamming northern realms boring to you? Its just a free win every time.
Ive actually used each deck for seperate playthroughs
@@PieceOfCandyPS Winning can never be boring.
@@omagaonion613 so I guess turning Gwent to easy and spamming northern realms sounds like a blast to you.
@@PieceOfCandyPS Hell yeah.
This deck can be awesome, but it can also suck without a decent draw. Too many useful cards but no spies to draw them out. Sadly there are a lot of great cards that I just can't include in my build because it waters the deck down too much. When you have no spies you have to keep a deck really tight. I've come to the conclusion that a lot of the tight bond cards have to get the boot to make room for all muster possibilities. Kinda have to play it like the monster deck if you want to have a deck that will win consistently. If they allowed you just one unique skellige spy it would change everything. I actually love playing it against NR and Nilfgard cause I decoy a few of their spies and I become a damn wrecking ball, but vs another skellige or monsters it is easy to fall apart because you just don't have the right combos of cards and absolutely no way to get them.
Its a confirmed win... But its also a close win... If you just want a overwhelming victory just use NR but skellige deck is the nr and nilfguardian deck killer squiatell is mhe monster can be trouble with the reshuffle card but you can still beat them easily also its just so satisfying to hav just 1 card in the start of round 3 and the ai has 5 cards and you end up winning that's really fun...
Here is a solution for you.
The key to the skellige deck is understanding that the second round is the round you need to prepare for the 3 rd round.
keep your deck as small as possible(mine 25 cards)
3 decoy + 22 unit cards and all muster and heros.(forget berserkers)
First round burn through the muster cards to make the deck as small as possible(AI will give up or waste scorch usually), then and only then use the spy card/s.(this pretty much doubles the chances of winning the game)(use decoys to collect opponent spy cards or let them go in the discard pile so you can collect them later with a healing/revive card.
(Unlike other decks where you usually use the spy cards ASAP to increase your options, the Skellig deck REQUIRES you to draw from a very small diminished deck.)
Second round you need to leave only 2 strong non hero units on the board then use the leader ability before folding or wasting opponents cards with decoys.(if you leave one of the revived muster unit, it be ideal)
Third round you will have your 2 strong units revived from the discard pile left by round 2(if they are musters, they will muster again from the deck ;))
Now is time to use the heros and everything you have left.
I never lost with this strategy against any deck the AI throws at me, it is indeed really powerful since it uses the fact that the AI never fights well on the first round since it is programmed to save cards for the second round.
It is important that the second round is used to waste AI cards and is lost on purpose to make it impossible for the AI to win on the 3'rd round.
I managed to get some 221 points on the third round, poor AI did not stand a chance.
@@jeffvella9765 Thank you SO much. I played the damn tournament several times and lost horribly every time. Searched up a few strats and still kept loosing. Finally used your strat and won the first time! Amazing.
@@caseyv3077 Thanks I am very happy it helped you and that you took the time to reply.
Lol just got 10 shitty draws in a row! I fucking hate this deck so much atm..
My built strategy:
A. Hero cards:
Mysterious Elf, Yennefer, and Cerys.
B. Unit cards:
Gaunter O'Dimm Darkness x3, Gaunter O'Dimm x1, Olaf x1, Clan an Craite Warrior x3, War Longship x3, Light Longship x3, Clan Drummond Shield Maiden x3, Birna Bran x1, and Kambi x1.
C. Leader Crach an Craite.
No need for any special cards. So we can have 22 cards total. Minimizing randomness. With muster and bond tactics, then recycling cards by Cerys and Gaunter O'Dimm after Crach an Craite ability, really feel OP.
With two medic cards (Birna and Yennefer), along with Kambi and Spy Card (Mysterious Elf) with this tactics, you can feel you have more cards to play. No need to decoy AI spy cards to be used again. Just hit them hard with all the spy cards points they give us in the first round. Olaf was always usefull doing this.
In second round, lure the AI to win by give them a good fight with cards you want to use it again in third round. Just don't forget to use Crach an Craite ability before passing for that round.
Sometimes, against NE Deck with cancelling leader ability, just at the draw two cards opportunity to left out muster cards ability and hope our bond cards ability come more into play. We don't need to play spy cards to be honest. So don't worry if we can't decoy back theirs.
In the third round, we still have more cards to play than them. 2 to 4 cards from round two graveyard and Cerys! Absolutely the King of Third Round.
Going to try this. How did you get Gaunter O'Dimm Darkness x3? I only got 2 of those, and I did every Gwent round throughout my playthrough.
EDIT: This is a very solid deck. I was able to beat the tournament with ease!
@@LittleMopeHead purchase two of the cards at The Elven Merchant of the Travelling Circus Camp outside Carsten. Purchase one of the cards at The Ofieri Merchant of Upper Mill. Hope this help.
Was also struggling a lot until I read this! Thanks !!
@@oerwhat glad it helped. Thanks for having faith trying this built strategy.
When a commentor can give a better deck build in a couple paragraphs than a 30 minute video the creator should reevaluate themselves
Even worse, the pirate will scorch itself! If resurrected in third round it will destroy atleadt one of your cards
It is possible that I've had that happen to me as well, but I'm not admitting to anything. ;)
MrCodeslinger :D The pirate is such a great idea, a unit scorch card, just its execution was horrible. If it had been a hero card it would have been more useful, but than we couldn't decoy it off
@@ziggystardust1973 it would have been really great if it worked like the Villentretenmirth (probably spelled wrong) card, except for the ranged row. With the Vill card, you can play it for just it's point value, if the scorch doesn't apply at the time. It will not scorch your own units. I thought that's how this card worked when I first played it, rather than it being a general scorch...and I may or may not have killed two of my own unit cards.
That is the nature of pirates...had a little too much Rum...everyone dies!!!
They did a good job making this deck. I am still spoiled with all the Nilfgaardian deck with all of the spies. I still think that deck is a bit overpowered.
In this set try using Muster+decoy or split muster. Eg use dark ODim muster in round one, Reshuffle graveyard with leader in round three. then use 2-point O'Dim card to get the whole muster back. Works well with Cerys and her muster also
Too many cards in the deck for me I don't like to have more than 30. I try to keep it small and potent but honestly the skellige deck doesn't match up against the nr or nilf decks just because of the spy decoy combo. Playing the gwent beta I can see why they changed the game so drastically as some decks were much stronger than others.
Agreed, I tend to keep it to about 27. Have yet to completely polish my Skellige deck though. Without spies to pull shit out I don't think it wise to water this deck down too much. Some really good cards are going to have to get the boot I'm afraid.
Leader card that returns card into a pack is actually usefull, you can place on board cyris shieldmaidens in first round to bait out the attacks and put them back in pack so when you summon Cyris, she summons all of the shieldmaiden that were used in 1st round
The reshuffling ability becomes dangerous when against monster decks. If they’ve recalled one of their musterable cards from the graveyard and then you use the ability it reshuffles them all back into the deck. So if they have a decoy, they can re-muster those cards.
I love your build videos! They have made me a better Gwent player! I love how you explain your thought process when you use a card or strategy. I don't play my desks exactly like yours anymore, but you gave me the tools to develop my own strategy. You da man!
This was very helpful! 👍🏼 Wish I saw this guide on my first play through!
Always great to find a help video from you. We go way back to Dragon Age Inquisition. This video helped me figure out my Skellige deck build considerably. Thank you. I've found I don't really use weather cards much, however putting a couple Skellige storm into my monster deck and using the leader card for getting a weather card can really help that front row heavy deck shine. I use all my decks really, Northern Realms for tough opponents, Scoiatael with the biting frost leader ability against monster decks can be helpful, Nilfgaard is probably my favorite for spy heavy, use the leader ability to draw from opponents library to grab one of my spies on the next round. What I like best about Gwent is that it's against npcs rather than people like MTG Arena, because whenever I have the upper hand, people forfeit. Did you post a strategy guide to either Gwent tournament?
There is a combo with Crache as leader and Skellige faction ability that I found very useful. Since the faction ability garuntees a +2 card advantage in the third round, it's very good to go all out on that turn. However, it will return any random 2 cards on the field which isn't ideal.
If however, you win the first round and still have two strong cards in your hand that you'd like revived for the last round (like beserkers) you can do the following:
Play the two cards you want in the second round then use your leader ability and pass. That way you can garuntee that they'll be revived in the last round (since now they are the only two in the discard pile) and you force your opponent to waste at least 3 cards in the second round. This like a +5 advantage because your opponent has to waste at least 3 cards in second round and you gain a +2 in last round
Such a love/hate relationship with this deck, it’s incredibly difficult to find consistency due to the different play styles it can create the King Bran/Skellige storm tactic is fun where you just spam weather and your cards are protected but due to the lack of draw power it’s inconsistent, the decoy/muster tactic with gaunter o’dimm and crach as leader seems the best but is surprisingly weak, by far the best strategy is using berserkers with crach
I know, such insane potential, but held back by it's lack of draw power. Like sure you could potentially get the triple shield maidens *and* Cerys in your starting to be able to play them separately, then use Crach's ability and be able to resummon them with Cerys. But even with a tightly controlled deck, that happens maybe 1 in 10 times. Honestly if anything I hate how only 2 factions having spies insanely overpowers them, there had to be a better way to implement the mechanic.
If you are on PS4, there is an autosave after each round. Not sure if this is needed, but when going into the screen where you build your deck, press the PS button and go into the PS4 dashboard for a minute, then resume the game. If you end up losing a round, you can reload the autosave.
WHat I liked about the skeliig deck is that it feels you need to plan more and think more in order to win. With the NR and the N decks is a way too easy to win, I barely have to put any thought into it. You do have to plan more with the monster deck but its not really fun to play with that one because your strategy is just putting a shit ton of cards in the board. With Skellige, there are so many variations and things you can do that sometimes you have to pull off some crazy stuff to come out on top, specially when you are starting the deck
Does anyone else think skellige deck is really, really bad?
Juan Pablo Gutierrez yup
I was actually surprised how much I liked it, when I learned you can combine decoys with the Crach shuffle ability. If you can decoy off one of a muster group during turn 1 or 2, then shuffle the discard pile (with the dead muster units). Now you can play that entire muster group again. It's even better if you can ensure that one unit of the muster group is one the board during round 2, then shuffle before the end of the round. If you only have a couple of cards in play during that round, you are likely to draw that card automatically during round 3 with your faction ability. So, you get a free muster group along with whatever other card it drew. So, you can end up with 6 cards on the board at the beginning of round 3 if you do this with two muster groups.
Nope, all decks are good including Scoia’tael. People who suck at playing Scoia’tael or Skellige are usually those who rely heavily if not completely on spy to win. They have no contingency and are not flexible in their play style.
yea but I literally never EVER lost a round 3. just win 1. just give up the second round.
@@Thunder_Cheek01 I never even used decoys or spies in my deck till near the end game they are far to broken and gives you little reason to use any other deck.
I'm just on my first ever run through on Witcher 3, I had now idea on gwent when I was first introduced. I sucked balls hard, and was like meh pass, now I'm gwent addicted and love it. Just got my skellige deck and am building it for the tourney. I didn't understand the leader card, watched this and it all makes sense. Loved the "shit a kitten" fuck I laughed, as in the beginning I used to scorch my cards all the time and I was like WTF, great vid.
I kinda wish they would of made Eskel and Lambert cards, I don't use the weather cards either. Are you going to make more of these when they release the Gwent game?
Yeah, keep wishing
...had similar experiences with the deck. I did like figuring out the hero power and muster card synergy, by which I was able to use muster twice.
It's crazy how playing 2 cards ( cerys and dandelion ) can give you 80+ points sometimes I saved only those 2 cards for the last round and the ai had nothing to do about it
personally i feel bringing more commander's horns is better than draig bon dhu or dandelion simply because they're more versatile. for example if you happen to draw draig but no siege cards then it's basically wasted.
exactly my thoughts
Yes, but you can resurrect bon dhu or dandelion and use them again that is something you can't do with commander horns.
No dandelions like a guaranteed first round win against spy's buffs up all of em in that melee row besides thaler
@@Vikesfan2219 great point
You cannot win with a horn alone, but you can with a unit card.
basically you always should choose a unit card over a special card, simply because there are no restrictions on special cards but there are on unit cards.
You want your deck to be as small as possible to increase the chances to get the right cards but you MUST have 22 unit cards.
Merging a unit card with a special card essentially fills in for a unit card from the 22 minimum.
the main strength of the the leader card that pulls all cards out of the discard pile is for muster. with it you can play your muster cards, maybe pull one of each set back into your hand with decoy or something, then play all the muster cards again with the leader card.
I hate the B&W tournament, it forces you to play as Skellige against Nilfgaard. The amount of times i had to retry due the absurd amount of spies using this very deck that you show here was insane. Not blaming your deck in fact i think it's the best Skellige build by far, it's just that Nilfgard is so broken against anything but Northern realms or a mirror match ( Nilfgaard ) due to the insane amount of spies. Everybody else in the tournament was laughably easy to defeat but as soon as you come across Nilfgaard it all goes to hell.
sean rogers I smashed all of the contestants on the first try and the skellige deck is easily the best
Omg thank you so much! Finally won the damn tournament after following this.
You are most welcome. I'm glad that it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
Just got the "You have a gwent problem" trophy. I was like I know......no shame. 😂
4K Ultra HD Gwent decks, nice
Love this video, many thanks! I'd been hearing a lot of hate towards the skellige deck and people claiming it could be taken down far too easily with scorch and spies but I wanted to give it a go myself, plus obviously there's the tournament to beat with skellige only that i needed to practice for. I'm usually strictly NR, but I love the extra forward thinking this deck requires.
After a bit of playing around I ended up using the exact same deck as you, although I tend to leave Draig out because I was so rarely drawing longships anyway and he was becoming far too situational. I also only ever use crach cause I love how much he fucks with Nilf, NR and Scoia. Now thanks to your help I won the entire tournament without a single loss, plus win virtually every game I go into against every faction. I don't see Kambi pop up as much as I like but he's definitely something easy enough to work around if he's not drawn. I've also been trying the 'fail round 2 if situation permits' tactic and found it works wonders when you're able to get rid of the discard pile, slam down your two strongest cards, pass then see them pop back up in round 3.
Can't wait for the standalone gwent game either, woowoo!
You're most welcome. I also heavily favor the NR deck. If you check the video description you'll see links to videos of me pitting this deck against a ton of different factions and deck combos just to prove how viable this deck really is. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I watched your Toussaint vid just to see your draw choices and methods, it was an equally big help. Skellige has become one of my favourites because i'm a sucker for seeing big numbers stack up with tight bond cards. :B
I agree going into the third round and playing high spy cards aren't ideal, but I have won because of it. I had no other good cards, but I could medic out a high spy to get some more cards and then it is very useful. When that happened I was lucky and drew some great cards that allowed me to win the game.
Excellent Video...Thanks for the guide!
You're very welcome Vikram. Thanks for watching!
Just started playing this deck , don't have all of them as I just started playing the game with the dlc. Looks good info, thanx!
Hope it helped. Thanks for watching!
I just wish that there was a way to play co-op with all these cards as I find them very entertaining!
almost at 10k keep up the work
lol. from your mouth to god's ear. ;)
14:00 you can go back to the old images in the options for additional content
Good build. I'm guessing someone has said this but just using the darkness gaunter o'dimm without the 2 point card is exactly the same as the 4 point war ships.
The spy will draw 2 cards for you though and that 6 point pirate should be a scorch for the ranged line, there's a scorch for the close combat and siege line already, plus an all rows scorch
What is and what should be... All I know is it burned me once and I yanked that bitch out of my deck so quick it made it's head spin. :)
TheRabbitFear forgetting the frog? thats a scorch on ranged
Does Bran only help your units with bad weather, or does the enemy get that too?
Who would you say is the hardest main NPC to beat in Gwent? Not including all the shop keepers or people in inns someone who would give you a tough time maybe even on Medium difficulty not to mention Hard
Plus my strategy with Crach an Craite leader is to win first round and go into the second round to lose but use the leader ability and play two cards I want into the third round say if i was to lure out any Scorches or weather cards by playing two tight bond cards that way by the end of the round they're the only two in the discard pile and they come straight back out in the third round ready to finish my opponent off for the win with the other cards i save for round three
I keep editing this as I watch the video to make points on certain cards....my decoy trick is to decoy any and all spies when against a Nilfgaardian deck and play them in the second round (one I want to lose) so that I can max my draw out for the third round as much as possible not worrying too much about them using a medic on them in the third round as I can take the point bonus to mine and in most of my gwent games I've been lucky and they haven't drawn anything which turns the game in their favor that late in.
The only opponent that ever made me change my deck was in the real Gwent tournament at Passiflora. The chick who had the Nilf deck was a massive pain in the ass to beat with the NR deck I was running at the time. If you watch the tournament video on the channel you'll see that's the only time I wound up swapping to a Monster deck just for a quick win.
What happens if you play a spy and you have no cards left? I have gone through over 2/3 of my northern deck once.
Wait...isn't Cerys combined with Clan an Craite dudes? I actually havent tried it yet because I hate the fact that the game makes me play with Skellige for the Tuissant tournament, but I think I can remember someone in the game pulling that off against me. Thanks for the tactics anyway, will try it out.
The pirate more often than not kills himself, when pulled in the 3rd round. I almost died laughing when it happened to me.
Crach is good for resetting your muster cards, i decoyed one of my ships then used Crach, and used them again in the next round
You could have mentioned that those cards that transform the berserkers go in the same spot as a horn card. Totally screwed up one hand because of that lol.
The thing Project red should have done was make Hjalmar have the same ability as Cerys, but with Clan an Craite warriors.
I use the exact same deck except i use instead king bran and remove the 3 light longship with 3 skellige storms.
i have a question about the skellige deck. I recently bought the gwent cards and me and my friends play with it all the time. my question is, when i play gwent in real life, not on the pc, do i need to have the transformed bears in the deck along with the berserkers to use them, or is it enough to just have the berserkers and the bear on the side? the same question come with the cow and kambi.
I dont know how this works in the witcher 3 game, if it is automaticly replaced with the hemdall, bears or bovine defence force...
GamerViktor no, the transformed card doesn’t exist in the deck, in the next round the card will be transformed
When you add gauntar o' darkness do you have to add all three to the deck?? Or just one and it'll pull all of them??
You have to have them in your deck.
what difficulty level you play in gwent
King bran does not work,2hat am I doing wrong.
I assume if the weather cards an in play then it should work, however it's not.
Some 6 years later I have to ask, did they change the arts on some of the cards? Or is different because I play on PS4?
there was a free DLC called the Ballad Heroes that updated artwork for some of the neutral cards if you enabled it, beyond that I am not aware of any. though it has been a while since I played.
Thank you man .
It's a decent all around deck,but I perfer my spy's and card draws from northern realms if I'm going to use a all arounder.
I Iike to keep the spy's in my discard pile for yennifer,so I can pull it from my graveyard,which means I perfer king bran.I know I could use crach to negate his medics,but I usually have my decoys ready.
I use Monster deck after B&W and Skellige deck is way more flexible and powerful and the deck ability is quite dependable
31:10 geta so happy for the card that it even begins to scratch
What happen with the muster card?
the onely card i am missing is dandiline but i will get him in new game +
It’s not a bad deck but some of it’s design seems vestigial. Tbh I stopped running Berzerkers and the muster to get better tight bond card draw. So much has to align for those berzerkers to be really powerful. If you only get one young berserker plus a transform card I generally think the opportunity cost of using two cards to get one 8 point card is not worth it
BIg BIG BIG like..helpful for beating
the Beauclair tournament.
This guy repeats himself so many times so needlessly, then winds up not using the card anyway. ngl hella annoying, this video could’ve been 10 minutes long
absolutely agree, I have no goddamn idea why its 35 fucking minutes.
Agree, came here looking for this comment as I was at my wits end after 10 minutes of practically nothing said. So much repetition and empty vacuous talking. It makes him painful to watch.
Watched it on 2X speed, hehe
@ the start of the Video standing on top of the tent ⛺️ imagine if the Witcher III had a photo mode 🍷
What armor is he using
i rather have both gaunter muster, light longship and ceres muster to my deck. have guarantee muster set up on on turn 1 is usually since it also fuctions like draw mechanic anyway.
Thanks a heap for the build, was a little overwhelmed with the new deck at first so I stuck with Northern Realms.
Will definitely give the deck another go now.
Edit - I also cannot wait for the Gwent Card Game, more then likely ill get my ass kicked but it'll still be fun.
Yeah I had gotten so used to the NR deck, that if people hadn't been continuously asking for a build video, I think I would have skipped doing one entirely. I was quite impressed with the thought that went into this deck.
+MrCodeslinger I've had a lot of success with the NR deck build you made a while back, so I can't wait to try this build out.
Thanks again :D
This deck is so difficult to play... In the end, after a solid 3 hours of playtesting, I decided to remove the berserker cards completely, remove all muster cards except Shield Mates, fuck outta here to that butt-pirate, 22 creatures, loads of heroes, only front-row critters... with only 3 Skellige Storm as spells. No Decoy, no Scorch, no Horns... only Storm. In the end, It was easily the best combinaison I came up with.
Thank you !
The deck I’m having the most success with is focusing on berserkers to abuse Crach’s shuffle ability, So win round 1 bait round 2 shuffle win round 3 it’s still kinda weak to Niflgard decks but mostly obliterates everyone else
24 cards
2x Mardroeme
Geralt
Ciri
Yennefer
Avallach
Villentretenmerth
Dandelion
Hjalmar
Ermion
Cerys
3x Shield Maiden
3x Light Longship
3x Young Berserker
Berserker
Olaf
Birna Bran
Kambi
The goal is to win round 1 by playing heroes like Geralt/Ciri early, Kambi, and of course the longships if drawn, always return the shield maidens if drawn or mardroeme if double drawn
Round 2 try and spam berserkers, ermion or Olaf, Yennefer + Birna Bran can revive them if they are scorched early bc they will also be revived next round; also if Kambi was played Hemdall just adds more to it; but at some point shuffle before round 3 making sure the only cards in graveyard by the end of the round are the evolved berserkers or Olaf Your opponent will likely scorch or out card you so pass
Round 3 then should always start you with 2 13/14 powered cards or double young berserkers so at least 27-33 power off the bat, if you can try and save dandelion and Cerys for this round or an extra hero you will always get to 100ish easy sometimes saving Yennefer/birna for this round helps too
Thank You!
Ty!
Thank u for making this guide
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
No prob man, just out of curiosity what's your favorite deck and ur favorite card, mines is scoatiel and my favorite card is either, olgierd it ivoreth.
Or
My favorite deck, is still the NR deck. Favorite card has to be the Clear Weather commander from that deck. The utility he offers for how I like to play is perfect. I will have to say though, the Skellige deck does provide a good bit of enjoyment when playing it. I wish it had been around early on as once you get used to it there is a lot more variety in how you can win with it in comparison to the other decks.
Are u going to be doing vids on the gwent game that's coming out m, I signed up for closed beta hope I get in.
kinda late to the game here but great video! I didnt get into Gwent when I started playing Witcher 3 as a result my deck is now missing key cards like Geralt of Rivia, Dandelion and Olgierd Von Everec which sucks. I have collected all but one of the Skellige deck cards. Unfortunately ths last card is at the Pheasantry Inn and game takes me directly to the tournament without letting me win the final card from the innkeeper first. which also sucks as you explained that is another key card I will have to play without. i need to win this damn tournament to get credit for wisdom so i can get Aerondight. your video will go a long way towards helping me! thanks for posting it!
You are most welcome Fino. Best of luck to you. Also, you might want to check back with the very first vendor that you ran into out in this DLC. He is one that can sell "missed" cards, or so I have been told. I never bothered checking him for anything other than the cards he was supposed to sell, as I had them all by the time this DLC released.
@@MrCodeslinger I will definitely check on that as I had not heard that it was even possible to purchase missing cards! Do you happen to know which vendor is the first one for sure? I think it would be the inn by the bridge not far from Corvo Bianco but I am not positve. Thanks again and Happy New Year!
@@finocaraco3723 Actually try this vendor: ruclips.net/video/_UHZdJHoKjk/видео.html
@@finocaraco3723 ...and turn the volume down a bit. I was apparently very excited about the Gwent card locations. I think that vendor is the person, they were referring to. I could be completely wrong though, as I said, I never had to go buy them so this is second-hand information that I never verified.
thank you
Argh such clear and wise instruction! Cheers for the video!
Glad it was helpful Chris. Thanks for watching!
29 units is kinda polluted... would look for around 21-22 unit cards for better draw
The first time I used the pirate card i scorched myself so hard I was left in shock.
I can't get the Geralt Card... It sucks because that's such a strong card
Great info. This is my favorite deck. Thanks!
This is too luck reliant.
3 Decoys
3 Horns

And for the last anything you want.
Takes the berserker luck out and much more effective. Can even sacrifice special cards to lower from 28 total.
thanks, won the tournament first time using your deck
What the hell is Ven?

@@justinkelly9526 Thank you. Helped me win the tourney. God what a terrible quest. Was so excited when I found out a new Gwent tournament was added just to find out I was forced to use this piece of shit new deck instead of having fun.
@@justinkelly9526 For the 3 longships, do you mean the light or the war?
What is this mysterious third round I keep hearing about?
Mardroeme or Mardröm basically means nightmare.
how do you get this deck? i'm in skellige but where is that deck?
Can't get this deck unless u bought the blood & wine dlc
dude...reallly good commentary..
Glad it was helpful Darryl. Thanks for watching!
I’m so confused on the leader ability, dude used it and all of a sudden pulled like 6 cards out I don’t understand
Seriously, any player who have hard time winning this kind of deck, try to remove ermion & berseker cards to your deck. As their abilities are such a hassle. Switch it with o'dimm's cards and add a commanders horn , added with the leaders ability to shuffle back to your deck with a good use of decoys, you're good to go.
A 35 cards deck. U are basically lower ur synergy. The pirate scorch card is great if u synergize w the leader ability. Best use is in round 1. For this deck, i tend to win round 1, then leader ability to reset discard pile then set up the transformed bear in round 2. Round 3 should always be a win. If there is no scorch pirate then i can lose round 1 set up bears in round 2 and win the next 2 round. If i see no bears at drawing then i throw away the transform ability cards or even ermion cuz there no use for both.
Nilfgard nr decks best for sure even with lvl 9 spy I never lose
You coud just put olaf insted of olgeird
“Shit a kitten” earned my like 😂
I just don’t see how he has all these cards but I’m also only in my second play through (new game plus) only started playing after I saw the show I know I know I’m late to the game have to say I’m sad I didn’t play it sooner
Never too late to play this masterpiece of a game
I already completed my Skellige Deck and beated everyone using it... I have no reason to watch this video but I like the work you do so much I'm just gonna sit here for 35 mins listening to your strategy
Hope you enjoyed the video Jefstito. Thanks for watching!
There is a skellge deck?
Only if you have the Blood and Wine expansion pack dlc (also included in the complete edition or goty).
Can u lose cards without knowing? I'm in Toussaint for the tournament but my ciri and Geralt cards are gone. I lost the tourney in Novigrad I think. It's all I can think of.
I have never wanted to rip a card i physically cant rip because its in a video game before until i met the pirate! dont ask me the details as the story is frdaking painfull to tell.
Yeah some of the games can be difficult that's for sure. That's especially true if you turn up the Gwent difficulty and don't have a ton of experience playing.
Darth Nihilus it's been 3 years can you tell it now?
Having deck entirely without spies is pure sacrilage and heresy 😐😐😐
After watching this I can totally see Total War:Witcher universe. Lol jk. Good video.
:) Thanks for watching Anthony.
OMG I would put 1000 hours into TW Witcher style lol
How about a Cerys card where everyone becomes friends
The skellige deck was just a pure gimmick deck sometimes it’s fun sometimes it’s a pain in the ass
This faction blows
Skellige deck relies too heavily on rng for your initial deck. If you have a bad deck you WILL lose even on the easiest gwent difficulty because some of the cards just don't compliment each other. It is possibly the worst or second worst card deck in my opinion.
Holy crap.... Long winded
