Welcome to the Invokation Akademy Review Session, where I go over all the changes to GITCG from the latest update, and give you my first impressions to get you better prepared for the new metagame.
Version 4.8 comes with “only” 3 new characters and 5 new action cards, but importantly has a whole bunch of balance changes – and great ones too. Not only were all the most popular decks nerfed in some way, we’re also finally getting a rework of plunging attack based characters that should breathe some new life into their decks!
With the number of balance changes to go over, this time around in Part 1 we’ll just look at those – and save all the new character and action cards for Part 2 – so keep an eye out for that! But don’t worry, with the balance changes there’s already plenty to play around with in the first week. They’ve missed on some balance patches before, but I think they really nailed it with this one!
This series assumes you’ve been keeping up with GITCG. If you’re a newer player, I’d recommend you check out my TCG-101 series which is aimed at beginners. You can find the playlist at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrqx-l9OpMrhckowbbA7NMNeoxjNKiBmO

Mistake on Yunjin: Looks like her burst did NOT increase in damage – so it was just the nerf to her status with no other buffs. My bad!
Mistake on Cyno: The +1 stack to his passive is NOT on his Talent, but was just added as a built in effect of his skill, which makes it WAY better.
im seething im coping what does 3 MH even do now without treasure
I believe mirror maiden kazuha and falls & fortune will make a great combo now since kazuha switches to the next character for free and might open up a bunch of different combos
Sir love your videos❤ btw can you show your narwhal deck cards 💳💳💳
Do any of these balance changes mean anything for the Mamere nation? If not I am disappointed
YESSSS FINALLY MY MIRROR MAIDEN JEAN SUCROSE CONTROL DECK IS FINALLY VIABLE AGAIN WOOO
I might play dawn winery in a Kaveh – building deck. It sounds really fun! A lot of swaps :3
They nerfed kaveh..
i hate to say it but stall is going to be back
Wish they would just increase serpent and scorpo energy to 3 instead of nerfing the bonecrusher card
Will try to play mirror maiden with fall and fortune to make other pain. Also Mew still good
I'm not very fond of those nerfs. They hit decks which were strong and/or complex to play against which is good, but they make a lot of cards conditional or clunky to play.
The buffs are good tho. They make underused characters way more practical.
ALBEDO FAST ACTION I SCREAMED
time to plunge with venti xiao and albedo
fool lament-tal alchemist!!!
Waiting for someone to make a "Nihility" deck that has Mirror Maiden, Aleph, and/or Hydro Herald + ALL the debuff cards like Falls and Fortune, Meropide, Deshret Mausoleum, Seirai Island, Rather Lose Money, Control Blast, Send Off, etc. to maximally annoy the opponent and punish them for existing.
Please, can you tell me which is the strongest deck for HuTao? I'm wondering between lyue friend and HuTao ei beidou, or is there any other deck that is stronger than the two above. Thank you very much
I stop playing TCG because of last patch so this is making me more optimistic to pick it back up
Nahhh Hu Tao is dead 💀💀 i have 2 decks built around her 😭
I have spent a while testing navia decks. As a result, kuki, navia and gorou seems to be working really well, especially with Selene and the new claymore. First of all, crystalize reactions seems to be enough with the electro application by kuki. For buffing the claymore, especially with the random cards generated by the other melusine(forgot her name), and also the ones given by the flower creature(forgot her name too), it is not difficult to max the claymore and do insane damage while having enough bullets to add even more damage for navia herself(gorou buff is also useful). I would like to see your opinion on this. (Here is the code: FRDB0YwTEXGxN2oZGEHxlJENGeAQ6ZcOCZBx9DMPE0ExO1cUFcFwTLYZDFGQC8kQDbAA)
Herald Maiden deck, here I come
gah, does this mean mirror maiden freeze is back? what a pain…
…I don't want to play anymore. Can we sell our casket of tomes for mora?
Love your videos they are so helpful but pain my poor Wriothesley and Hu Tao deck 😢
