I'm new to this game and I had a decent assimilate deck but now it got nerfed, any suggestion on what should I build?

  • OP maybe try adding some information? Start with the deck screenshot

  • You can link the deck using playgwent.com then someone might have some good suggestions.

  • Sharing your deck would help.

    I tried to add 12 tactic cards for steffan and fill the rest with some locks and turncoat but I'd say its a pretty weak deck

  • I play assimilate. I prefer shupe decks, but a good base is [[Torres Var Emreis: Founder]], [[Runemage]] and [[Artaud Terranova]].

    Important bronze cards for this are [[Mage Torturer]] and [[Thanedd Turncoat]] to give strong enemy card spying to copy.

    You can pick and choose between other assimilate or create cards, but Id advice you against [[Emhyr var Emreis]] or [[Rosa and Edna var Attre]], because imo they lack the necessary synergy to be useful in this deck.

    if you run enslave, you should not run mage torturer or thanedd turn coat. rely on yoru leader and torres exclusively to tag something with spying for terranova.

    Instead you run duchess informant, Nauzicaa sergeant, and imperial emissary, that way you are always guaranteed your desired choice on artorius vigo. If you run runemage, you could include 1 mage torturer so you have a backup source of spying, and runemage still guarantees you perfect choice on vigo. you never want 5 bronze units with artorius vigo.

    They didnt specify that they run enslave. I assumed that they run Double Cross, the info I gave was for a DC deck.

    Enslave imo works better in control decks using status and the likes.
