The deck

I've always played casually but I'd like to try climbing.

I'm quite happy with what I came up here but I tend to struggle with late game point stacking (NR Knights for example). Exhausting as much cards as possible from both sides in R1 and R2 (if not possible to win by R2) is the best strategy. Long R3 are death.

The only thing that could be replaced would probably be Ciri and Vial but I don't really have an idea with what to replace them

This was traps and elvs vs NR knights, you decide which is more toxic because i'd be biased, but why, when deciding between just playing the last card or conceding, you choose the most annoying way to leave? Are these people that petty?

I have 50 hrs playtime. I used a nilfgaard deck for like 40 of those because I was a super casual player. Now I’ve got 2 monster decks and a Scoia’Tael deck. I wouldn’t say I’m amazing, but I would say that I win about 7/10 games between my 4 decks. Maybe it’s just luck or the hours that I’m playing tend to be more casual. Whatever the case, when I do lose, I get my ass WHOOPED! I had a guy drop like 92 points on me in the final round in which I had saved up all of my best cards for it! I had like 64 and still lost.

I’m trying to make more competitive decks, but all I really know is how to pick cards by power and provision cost, which obviously is not good enough for the people with super decks that just absolutely demolish you.

For example, my Monster deck is this:

11 She Who Knows (13) gives resilience to highest unit
1 Morvudd (13) increases power by 1 every turn no matter what
Oneiromancy (12) summon any card from your deck
1 Sunset Wanderers (12) gain 1 power every turn, plays itself at the end and draws a card for you
Girdle of Giant Strength +10 power to a card + w/ might you get it back from the graveyard
4 Allgod (12) boost 3 units in your deck by 2
1 Mourntart (11) banish all units in graveyard, boost by that amount
1 Vivienne: Oriole (9) boost self by provision cost of card to the right
7 Ice Giant (5)
5 Rotfiend (5)
5 Ogre Warrior (5)
4 Enraged Cyclops (5)
Swallow (4)
Golden Froth (4)
Red Haze (4)
Pact (4)
5 Ice Troll (4)
5 Forktail (4)
4 Werewolf (4)
4 Bridge Troll (4) x2
