I just want my golden boi to be playable. I hope the next expansion will make them really viable and don't get nerfed to the ground after 1 month. I hope they keep Valdor gymboss reckoning because that stuff is wack.
Nice video on the Golden Guard, loved it! If I could change one Custodes card I'd give the Caladius Annihilator a rally effect (deal 2x2 damage with ordnance 2). This is in line with lots of the other big tanks in the game which basically have something like "Rally: deal X damage". The cahnge would not solve the big Custodes problem but it would make a card (and model) I really love at least playable.
Sentinel is, of course, a huge problem, as well as understated troops with very negative trait, BUT why didn't you talk about their abysmall tactics, Raziel? Half of their buff tactics are TROOP EXCLUSIVE, even when it's cost doesn't show it much. +3/0 to troop and draw a card for 3e? BA have that for a warlord for 4e and that is so much more viable. You know what i like about their tactics? that 6e "choose a powerful effect" card, and i thing THIS is what custodes supposed to be doing - why would i need 3 different 2-3e buff cards for a troop when it could be only ONE card? Make custodes the real jack of all trades MASTERS OF ALL TRADES. When every other tactic has that "choose effect" thing, it is effectively a faction with 100+ cards in it, which is hard to do, EG will make another "draw a troop" 2/35 warlord and call it a day. Amon is supposed to be a control warlord - why don't we mix him up with human-form of Debeeran? Debeeran used to deal 1 damage for 1 energy, and if a target had 2 or less HP left he could act again. Somewhat of a counter board warlord, but let's just give this to Amon too. Also he should have battlehonour "Act again" to be able to use his counter board potential to it's fullest. Back to Debeeran Dread - remove his useless +1/1 buff i don't need it in Custodes faction, make him straight up drop those 3/4 2e sentinel frontline guys every other use of ability. MAKE HIM THE REAL BOARD CUSTODES WARLORD, MAKE THEM FEAR BENEDICTION LEGENDARY CARD. Luv your content bruv, can't get enough of it.
@@20yearsoldwithdementia You can force his reckoning with displaced civilians and Cthonian Mole Mortar but surviving until then and especially after playing reckoning is the hard part. If his reckoning started at 16E, well that would be a different story.
Custodes was such a shame when they failed. They are fun though bc Constantine and arascid can be built to be one turn kills with paragon spear. I think all these warlords should of had a battle honor to draw a card or at least a means to draw a card with out gimping your deck. And you are also right when you say they did not age well stat wise. I like the highlander mechanic idea.
I feel like if Sentinel stays as is, it should have some kind of buff to make up for the no card draw. If they're "standing Sentinel" maybe they could cancel 1 tactic/spell cast on them because they're on guard or something thematic. Might be too strong, I'm not good at balance. I do think Nassau either needs to rotate out into Legacy or be changed, he's almost single-handedly why Custodes don't get buffs, because he'd multiply them 10x.
I'd just like to say that I'm down for the Highlander playstyle, as that's how I generally try to approach most card games anyways; one of every unit I can get my hands on, slotting cards in and out as necessary while maintaining that 'There can be only one...' mentality. Although that DOES bite me in the ass because I prefer running themed and meme decks, rather than something that's actually meta relevant; I AM a Night Lords player after all. Still, having a faction that caters to that playstyle would be something I would genuinely enjoy, and it'd also make the Custodes a surprisingly beginner-friendly faction.
I think that it could be fine to just make a warlord to remove sentinel from friendly units. Like Kalimakon could have 2: Draw a card. Next time remove sentinel and give +1/+1 to a friendly troop. Would be nice and more balanced.
Custodes are not to space marines what they are to guardsman. In the first heretic one Custodes attacks 3 astartes of the wordbearer ( pre gal vorbak), he manages to kill 2 before getting his face blown by the 3rd via bolter, and then gets turned into a kebab by some cultist ( mind you they emphacise that although their armour is tailor made, it's not that much different than the average space marine's). Custodes are greatly over estimated by plenty of warhammer fans. There aren't 3 guardsman (no matter who they are) that can kill one space marine. They simply don't have the fixerpower for that

Fingers cross, they make him pre updated Fulgrim. Like how Fulgrim became a Gymboss post Whisper.
from what i see with the EG,they never make things balanced,only op or unplayable.

God I love Nassau. He's just so cute. Hopefully he's given a new form like Apagitto.

Me playing Shapura with Nenron squads because only in death I get a free telamon
Grav Tank mentioned. W.
Also, I do like the "Custodes" keyword making them immune to tactics targetting astartes, infantry or vehicles.
Centinel:Draw a card in the end of the turn
Awesome video!!! I love custodes, but they recently stats isnt worth
Shapura is unplayable? Reckoning Valdor is unplayable?
Can you share the Valdor deck? Haven't played Valdor for a long time. Want to try if he worth it.
@@Raizerd Noctem Armiger have good one... But idk, how good it's on high Terra.
@@Виктор-ы7е3г i don't play ranked just have fun on friendly.
Honestly reckoning valdor dies on half way if you have enough brain to realize what he is doing

...So in laymen's terms, what you're saying is that Custodes haven't gotten a noticeable update to make them relevant again in 10,000 years.

I get your point but i think we need black custode to give other race right of being a custode
Any guy can become a custodian if you pass all the trials and operations, we really aren’t making this a race thing are we?
This is supposed to be a joke but k
Remember Captain-General Kitten being creole
@@Azzie420 Aren't most Custodies pulled from noble lineages of Terra? Much like the Terran Emperors Children.
@@gamechanger8908 yea is children from those powerful family and both mentally and physically reforge into finest warrior of mankind
Still everything in the game is fine compared to the titans

sentinel as a mechanic is flawed with all the tactics and other mechanics in the game. change sentinel,change problem
