Saint Alessia - how does it work?

Can someone with PTS access later check how the patron works and give an update? The patch notes are completely non-telling about mechanics. For me it sounds like the focus of Alessia might be agents (as it says “army“), maybe the patron use will summon an agent with one life or whatever - would make for an interesting new mechanic. So could someone give us an update later on? I‘m not a PC player otherwise I’d do it myself.

    Haven’t checked it out myself, I don’t really do ToT. The PTS copy fiasco chased off a fair number of testers too.

    So, I was pretty much right with my expectation that this deck will focus on agents and the patron ability will do exactly that. From just going over the cards I was rather confused and the mechanics seem complex, especially the focus on (enemie‘s) agents and knocking them out.

    So it seems like a hard counter for Druid as that deck has most agent cards, but right now I can’t imagine a strategy off the bat how to play this. I‘m still curious though as it’s a completely new take for ToT.

    Thank you very much for posting this @Maitsukas

    I can tell already that if this deck is played, you better pray your opponent doesn't get 4 coins before you do. Whoever pops that patron first will be printing power/coin cards with impunity and pretty much guaranteed to have the coin every turn thereafter to keep popping it.

    I have a feeling I'm really gonna hate seeing this deck played.

    Thanks for posting. It seems like it could turn each match into an agent race. It's interesting that:

    The cards are expensive but there's not much gold gain.
    The agents mostly give you prestige instead of power, so you remove enemy agents with the knockout effect instead.
    There aren't any taunt agents.
    The agents are not that bad individually, but have a lot of combo effects.

    I think cards that make up these shortcomings could really make the agent race more urgent (especially taunts). I'm not sure how fun that'll be, might have to try it out.

    The art on these cards is awesome imo. I’m not sure how games with this deck will actually play out but it looks like the deck will cause an agent race?

    I second your opinion about the art. I will say though, it's criminal that we didn't get a tapestry of one of the Pelinal cards.

    I know it‘s just PTS, but have any of you played more with the new patron? I‘m curious. And do you can say something about the deck acquisition?

    the deck is acquired similar to the Hunding and Druid decks, fragments from various Gold Road sources like Delves and World bosses.
    this video shows where to get them
