Members of the Council, welcome to our weekly assembly.

These posts are scheduled to happen every week. Each week, a different faction is proposed and every time we will try to orient the discussion about either "nerf" or "buff".

Faction of the Week: Northern Realms

While you can still use these topics to talk about other balance suggestions, please try to focus on the theme of the week. Those topics are intended to give a chance to all factions to be talked about.

Discussions can be about modifying a whole archetype or addressing individual cards.

    • power buff: Cintrian Knight to 4 - the weakest card of the NR Knight archetype, a buff would make it easier for him to reach grace
    • power nerf: Cursed Knight to 6 - overbuffed bronze. For a 4-provision bronze, 7 should be a ceiling while he has a good deploy ability so there was no need to buff him
    • provision buff: Egmund to 6 - we should buff dead cards to make them playable before some idiots pick them as "placeholder nerfs"
    • provision nerf: Boholt to 13 - after the leader buff for Inspired Zeal, Reavers returned an they use Boholt who gets boosted quickly. It's so annoying how much control is required to beat them. They have too many cards requiring an immediate answer: Belohun, Idarran, scouts, Ildiko and after you use locks and damage to deal with some of them, they play Boholt who gets boosted quickly, you either have a tall punish or you lose
    • 2-step change: Aretuza Adept to 3 power 4 provision so she could be summoned with Portal

    • No, that’s furthering braindead powercreep. He already plays as 3 points, 2 removal, 2 vitality, and 2 boost from Grace.
    • 7 for 4 is whatever. It hardly saw play at 6 and doesn’t see a ton of play at 7 from my experience.
    • Sure. Egmund needs like 2 buffs to be considered a playable card.
    • Nerf Boholt?? Does not make sense in my book. I thought he was too expensive at 12. I’d rather prov nerf Reavers again if they were an issue, but they’re not.
    • No. Just power buff is fine if anything
