Early expansion theorycrafting – 1

Unfortunately we are in the dark as to the upcoming changes to existing cards. I expect some changes to NR soldier cards and NG knights, and maybe Boucleair cards in general (Damien, Duchess, Vivienne(s), Gregoire de Gorgoine). Still I wanted to try to imagine future possible decks.

NR:

  • Midrange control soldiers
  • Hybrid with Siete
    -Hybrid with Revenants
  • Swarm?
  • Blue stripes reneissance?
  • Queensaguard + Reaver hybrid.

In my recent expiriments with all-in/pavetta version decks of the former, I found a certain rigidity of gameplan. If there was a second target to spam, there could be a more solid two round structure.

Hypothesis: Hunter X2, Queensguard X2, scouts X2, Megascope x?, teleportation, Reinforcements, Garrison, Queen Adalia, Operator, Idarran, Boholt, Kennet and Gar

Leader: Mobilization

NG: I can only see two lines of play here; either Knights-ball or some Midrange blob with Renfri and assimilate.

Hypothesis: Buhurt, Challenger Knight, Guillaume de Launfal, Ball, Philippe, V.M. hunter, Thirsty Dame, Fangs OTE, Cup bearer, Standard bearer, Master of puppets, Nilfgaardian Knight, Cahir, Defender, Damien, Peter/Beauclair/ Ivar

Leader: Imprisonment, Imposter

Here the composition is harder to imagine so I was throwing names around. Although, once we've established Cahir as the MVP of the deck, many others follow logically: Defender and Letho first and foremost, then Damien, Philippe and MoP to exploit defender to its fullest.

What do you think? Do you have any other idea in mind?
