So you can effectively trade in 400 meteorite powder for 800 scraps by making a nerfed legendary premium and milling it.

I have 715 powder atm, but some premium commons/rares I could mill. I should be able to reach 800 and get 2 free legendaries. Neat.

I'd wait a bit on that. Sounds pretty suspect. Could be person controlling twitter getting information mixed up.

If they allow you to disenchant premium nerfed cards at full value into scraps, the math works out to approximately $4 per legendary of your choice, given current prices on powder. You'd be able to craft a full set of legendaries for around $300 worth of powder. Seems to be a pretty huge exploit.

I wouldn't be surprised if they temporarily suspended premium crafting during the full refund period.

Will it work with leader cards? Say I turn John Calveit into premium. Patch lowers his strength by one. Can I then scrap him at full value? Just started 3 nights ago so don't have any golds that are gonna be nerfed other than the leader =[. Would be nice if it will work because I could use it to get some cards I need :o.

edit:
Also any thoughts on my dagon fog deck?:
Kickstart's Dagon Fog

I am pretty happy with it thus far. I think I am just on hold until I can get enough scrap to make the necessary Golds ( I was lucky to pull woodland spirit from a keg). What should I aim for first? I think Caranthir followed by Ge'els are what would give the deck the biggest power boost of 2 cards. (what starter golds would I kick in order? Imlerith -> triss -> geralt?).

Or should I spend the 400 scraps I have atm on a water hag + frightener (kicking out Commander's horn and Myrgtabrakke).

Any input is appreciated. I sort of have a plan on where to go from here but I've only been playing for 3 1/2 days now so some input from people who have been playing awhile would be nice!

You can just highlight the premium version in your collection after the patch goes live to see if it will be full refund. I wouldn't craft any golds right now given the meta will probably change a lot after the patch.

Just tab and do something else. The timer is already reduced at that point.

I made my Tibor premium now to scrap him for 1600. He wont be viable after the patch. I will however hold on to my remaining 900 dust. Premiums are awesome

nerf his strenght by 2.

There's another dev stream tonight though. Both the balance changes and the milling may be revisited.

Their previous changed included Monster buffs even though Dagon Fog is the best strategy atm, so that no longer seems like a good idea...

I hope the patch comes out soon. Im nearly level 19 and I would really rather wait till the patch before I get the level 20 card so I don't get some leader garbage. That and I want to mill all this crap and open the packs im saving to finally complete my first deck :@

Great. The plan is to make Ithlinne and RnR premium, disenchant them for 3200 scraps, and then just to craft them again because I think they are still great cards.

I imagine every serious player will have the scraps for 4 legendaries of choice after this patch, the ladder will be a lot harder.

Thoughts on holding onto or scrapping Drought after the nerf?

Scrap it for full value while you can. You can always craft it again if you are missing it later, but it seems more niche now.

Premium Drought was my first legendary pick. I disenchanted everything that was full value and used dust to cash in on scraps.

I was left with 7200 scraps and crafted a couple legs for an consume monster deck and im having fun right now !

Just got this game and did the single player challenges, currently level 2. Is there anywhere I can go to learn strategies and the meta and see some budget deck lists? Also I'm sti not sure of how to tell card rarity, I thought the bronze/silver/gold was the rarity but that seems to not be the case. Thanks.

there's a little square, but the only way it doesn't correlate to border is with bronze borders you can have comms (white square) or rares (blue)

when you open kegs theres also the HS-style halo around the cards.
