that'd be nice, sorta like acting as gaunter's errand boy (again) to deal with several of his "clients" seeing from the hopeful beginning of the deals to the end where the contract comes to bite them back in the arse.
Sadly I doubt they'll ever make another after the financial failure of Thronebreaker, even though it was largely due to lack of marketing and only initially releasing on GOG.com. We can dream.
Jacques de Aldersberg was a fascinating foe. Man, the Witcher 1 is sooooo underrated. Such a bold and fabulous game of great depth! Fisttech, dice poker, drinking games, even the now frowned upon romance cards with their illustrations... The Order of the Flaming Rose & the Scoiatael's crusade and king Foltest, a flawed but great king. Most game "journalists" nowadays claim that Witcher 1 is irrelevant which is more more a testament to the irrelevance of gaming journalism than to that of the Witcher 1. I'll always defend this game.
Though Witcher1 had worse quality comparing it with Witcher3 it was a great game and had with Alvin/Jaques de Aldersberg a better Villain than Witcher3 with Eredin.
Great idea for a card CDPR, big fan of W1 and the twist at the end when you realize little Albin became Jacques de Aldersberg, the Grandmaster of the flaming rose. I have been waiting for this card since the Salamdra cards.
Jacques De Aldersberg was a Grandmaster of the Order, so powerful and so wise he could use his charisma to influence the people to create fanatics... He had such a knowledge of the Power that he could even keep the ones he cared about from the white frost. The Elder Blood is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so influential...the only thing he was afraid of was losing his influence, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he misinterpreted Geralt's lessons and the witcher killed him with his silver sword. Ironic. He wanted to stop monsters but became one himself.
Jaques de Aldersberg :"I have been waiting for you Geralt, we meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master. " Geralt :"Only a master of evil, Alvin" Jaques de Aldersberg :"your power is weak old man"
Man I'm really happy they gave Aldersberg some real love. His card descriptions are great as well they depict how he's morally gray nicely. Siegfried being neutral makes it so he can be with both his Flaming Rose bros and the North too very clever. These evolve cards have some real flavor to them I like it.
Arkadiusz Paterak maybe, as I guess the books are polish. But the name Jacques de Alderburg (however it’s spelled) is remarkably similar to last grand master of the Templar’s Jacques de molay
First deck I built after coming back to gwent a few months ago after not playing since the beta was a firesworn swarm deck, which I kinda stopped playing, really excited to see what it'll be able to do with the master mirror expansion.
So which effect of the final card is correct? Here it says "gain a coin whenever X" on the reveal site it says "Boost self by 1 whenever X" - the latter would make the veil on this card alot better and also looks more in line with the ursurper
@@mamufixie Lol I really don't want CDPR to imply that literally each and everyone important thing involved O'Dimm in some fashion. Not only does that milk his character but it also takes away the "wow factor" once we do find out that O'Dimm was behind something but they have not overdone anything just yet.
@@katt.1787 Yeah I agree, that is why I said that nothing has been overdone yet. I raised the point in the first place because the whole Usurper deal interfares with the lore quite a bit.
I'm so glad the lads working on Gwent aren't just adding new features and archetypes for the sake of it. Rather they’re improving on the existing, weak archetypes like spies and swarm syndicate so that they’re more viable. I look forward to what they do with other factions.
Wow, finally one mystery solved. Alvin is the grand master. Even though I know grand master necklace same like alvin, but I dont really think its alvin
@@Desintyx2 And Alvin appears in the frost vision with his older self (Jaques de Aldersberg) Shadow, and Geralt finds on Jaques de Aldersbergs Corpse the same amulet he gave Alvin but in older version which give hints that Alvin traveled back in time, stayed there and became the fanatic leader of the flaming rose. His racist hatred towards elves may has to do with the situation that young Alvin was held hostage by Scoiatel. Another hint that Alvin and Jaques are one and the same person is that young Alvin likes to plays the Grandmaster in the game "kill the elves" and wins.
It's clear that Alvin is Jaques de Aldersberg from the beginning. Everything you tell young Alvin influences Jaques de Aldersberg. And in the white frost vision Alvin appears as vision with Grandmaster Jaques Shadow. Later when Jaques is dead and geralt finds on Jaques de Aldersbergs corpse the amulet he gave Alvin but just in older version gives hints that Alvin teleported back in the past and grew up to fanatic leader of the flaming rose
@@ConkerVonZap, he has dark blond hair on the card and in Witcher 1 his hair looks a bit lighter but it's clear that the kid on child card is Alvin. He has the same clothes and face too. Alvin is Jaques de Aldersberg. It was confirmed in Witcher 3 too.

We need a Thronebreaker-style game narrated by Gaunter O' Dimm
Be careful what you wish for
he may grant you this wish

Yes man. Witcher 1 was really good
I think Foltest wasn't a great king. A great person maybe but not king.

@@lehatikhonov actually the opposite. He was a terrible person but a good king
Witcher 1 boys and girls, where you at
Finally Jacques! My body is ready
I expected his first phase to be called Alvin.
still haven't finished witcher 1
@@davorbrijacak same
Meister Dejv me too that would be so cool
Perfect opportunity for an evolving card.
i am the perfect gwent player i cant wait to beat noobies gagagagaggaa (i also have teo girlfriends)
Too true. When they first mentioned evolving cards I thought of Jacques!
@@AxxLAfriku...

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Jacques the Aldersburg? I thought not. It’s not a story CDPR would tell you.

Awesome crossover ❤️
Jaques de Aldersberg :"I have been waiting for you Geralt, we meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master.
"
Geralt :"Only a master of evil, Alvin"
Jaques de Aldersberg :"your power is weak old man"
Damn that artwork is amazing; especially the second and third form.
The second one was an entry in one of the artwork contests, IIRC
Gwent's artwork will always be 10000/10
Ah, The Witcher 1, when Wild Hunt is still a mysterious powerful force to me.
Man I'm really happy they gave Aldersberg some real love. His card descriptions are great as well they depict how he's morally gray nicely. Siegfried being neutral makes it so he can be with both his Flaming Rose bros and the North too very clever.
These evolve cards have some real flavor to them I like it.
Siegfried of Denesle is the biggest bro from the first game
@@marcellsz9990 I agree!
As life long Witcher 1 fanboy I feel STONKS in my pants.
Love the concept. So for each faction we also get a lore reveal which of the major events were put in motion by Master Mirror.
A perfect addition to my *"The Eternal Pyre"* deck. Love the character of Jacques!
Gaunter's face is adorable
The music in the witcher univer never ceases to amaze me.
This new track from the master mirror update is a straight banger
th-cam.com/video/K2eJj1oydrQ/w-d-xo.html
In the child card, there’s G.O.D. Standing. Same pants as in his card.
yesssss well spotted
He'll be in all the first stages, I'm sure.
G.O.D?
@@crabbit. Gaunter O'Dimm
Hes in usurper too
THIS LORE IS AMAZING!
I love how it's kind of a play on the Templar order. So badass
Isn't this a play on the Teutonic knights order?
Arkadiusz Paterak maybe, as I guess the books are polish. But the name Jacques de Alderburg (however it’s spelled) is remarkably similar to last grand master of the Templar’s Jacques de molay
Im so happy its around firesworn.
Shall this flame light thy heart.
Kinda odd it's not around Salamandra
@@nguyentran7068 Kinda odd it's not NR. They worked in Temeria only.
These Gwent videos are so amazing! I love anything having to do with Gaunter O’ Dimm
OMG, I am so going to build and use the Syndicate deck with de Aldersberg in it! Bring it on.
Amazing! Firesworn syndicate is my fav deck
Great choice! I wated for something that will make fireswarm more powerfull!))
Oh very nice. I also feel like captain America as in I get that reference having just played Witcher 1
Вышка, наконец-то стали добавлять ключевых персонажей которые представляют весьма играбельные карты😀
First deck I built after coming back to gwent a few months ago after not playing since the beta was a firesworn swarm deck, which I kinda stopped playing, really excited to see what it'll be able to do with the master mirror expansion.
thank you cdprojekt red for bringing order of the flaming rose into gwent. really appreciated :heart:
“The silver sword, it's for the monsters! ”
So which effect of the final card is correct? Here it says "gain a coin whenever X" on the reveal site it says "Boost self by 1 whenever X" - the latter would make the veil on this card alot better and also looks more in line with the ursurper
I can´t wait for this expansion
That sword... Is for monsters..
Cant wait to see what the Skellige cards are gonna be
Interesting, I think this is the first time CDPR actually acknowledges Alvin grows up to be Jacques. It's left unstated in Witcher 1.
there actually is a book written by aldersberg for geralt in a novigrad bookstore
@@andraskovacs98 Cool thanks. I'll have to check that out next time I'm in Hierarch square
This games artwork is next level. Truly amazing. Love the Witcher universe!
I play now firesworn swarm decks this is gonna be a fine edition to my collection 🧐
Firesworn spawn deck is super fun. Now it will be super super fun with these new cards.
I still love you Alvin. You should have told me
Cool man alvin
Al, ma man, welcome back
Love the art
God I love the art on the cards
Gaunter standing next to Jackques on first card or atleast someone with the same boots and pants :P

O, The Flaming Rose finally returns
Witcher 1 and one of the most interesting characters in whole series
The salamander cards also should work with the flame rose cards. Since the Salamander group were also working for Jacques
Alvin is back
🔥🔥🔥
I knew the fire would be back on day or another, the phoenix always rises from the ashes !
Im playing a firesworn deck. This is great.
same
Something about Syndicate makes my weewee throb.
I’m only playing Firesworn Deck so This is my card!
Oh my god I got goosebumps watching this video. Witcher 1 bois!!
OMG 😱 can’t wait
Thanks god for flaming rose knights. Siegfried of Denesle for syndicate?
holy shit!!!!! my deck just went 100 to over 9000 in 1:30 minutes
This looks fun.
Now I need a Monster Evolving Card.
Alviiiiiiiiiin!
I look so good on glass. Pun intended.
Jacques is here to take care of ST decks of all kinds. Canon.
Schirru says hello.

Yes my firesworn army shall rise again
Wow, finally one mystery solved. Alvin is the grand master. Even though I know grand master necklace same like alvin, but I dont really think its alvin

@@TheSullenDude There's a letter that Alvin left for Geralt at the bookstore in Novigrad

Awesome
Can u add short leaders animation when u play them like lor level up champion animation.it would be so good

I think it's for people who didn't play Witcher1 to spoiler not to much
Rip, forgot to link my accounts from my ps4, thought I had more time to do that. Not gonna go through that grind all over again. So long
Bye console

alvin!
Niiiiiiccceeeeee
I demand that YOU TAKE MY MONEY!!!
We need a DUNGEON MASTER
We need ThroneBreaker 2
Am I understanding the design of evolving cards properly? Why would anyone ever play them in any round besides round 3?
