Skellige Gwent Leader Cards
Just like the other four decks, the Skellige Gwent deck has two different leader cards for you to choose from. Each one has its own unique perk that can be used to form your strategy, and these two new cards have some of the most interesting. The leaders for Skellige are King Bran and Crach an Craite, two notable rulers you may remember from the main story of Wild Hunt. Their perks are as follows:
- King Bran – Units only lose half their strength in bad weather conditions.
- Crach an Craite – Shuffles all cards from each player’s graveyard back into their decks.
Those are two potent abilities. Losing only half of your strength from weather cards is more than enough to take over a board where you’re outnumbered. Simply pop down a Skellige Storm and a Biting Frost and as everyone drops to one health, you’ll be sitting pretty. Crach an Craite’s shuffle ability can also be quite handy. Particularly if you lost some really good units. Being granted the opportunity to draw them again in a later round or through Spies is definitely something worth considering.
