I can't believe I'm about to say this but I would rather face NG 7/10 games than have to keep dealing with SK… every patch they get 8+ buffs with minimal nerfs regardless of the state of the faction and they're approaching being oppressive again… It's apparent SK is having good success regardless of the leader… if only other factions had more than a single viable leader. I've lost a couple of consecutive matches against SK but the last straw was one of my last ones where I thought I had done a decent job bleeding them down to 2 cards in the 2nd round and then they effortlessly pulled out 70+ points in the 3rd round from playing 3 cards (in hindsight shouldn't have used the heatwave on melusine and should have saved it for the scenario…). Obviously NR is pretty strong right now but they're beatable as long as you deal with the mages early but with SK it doesn't feel like any strategy is working atm.
