Rhajin patron spam is too cheap

    Crow is a horrible idea to try to counter any Rajhin strategy.

    Disagree. Crow (as long as it's being supported by decks like Red Eagle, Celarus, Etc) have won me way more matches than I have lost against Rahjiin.

    Yes, Rahjiin bewilderment spam breaks the combos. And it has agent killing cards to break up the agents.

    But the draw a card, power generation, and the way the crow patron can capitalize on big coin gains have also been very good at countering what Rahjiin can do.

    They pretty much counter each other, but I personally have had more success with crow than the other way around.

    I have had some pretty oppressive Rahjiin matches as well where the only reason I won is because of crow.

    I've had luck with Crow in Rajhiin games too. One of my most insane games involved being forced to discard 3 to 4 cards per turn over multiple turns and, thanks to Crow draw combos, I was still clearing the opponents board of agents and making progress toward the eventual victory. If crow had been literally any other archetype, then I would be doing basically nothing those turns instead.

    Making writs is basic approach.
    What is happening with that extreme strategy is:
    I have a bewilderment card in my draw deck and in next turn I get it in my hand. With not that much bad luck this happens already in turn 3 if I got one early on. At best I now have 4g in my hand. I spend 2g on turning the bewilderment card into a treasure. Leaving me with 2g with which most of the time I cannot do anything.
    Maybe if I am lucky in the early stages to buy a card that gives some extra gold. But in the meanwhile the opponent has always given me a bewilderment card. Which means that I basically ALWAYS lose at least 3 or 4 gold per turn. Provided I only get one bc per turn.

    Plus if you keep turning Bewilderment cards it 2 gold coin cards by using the Treasury, unless you have Currency Exchange combo from Hlaalu deck or a contract action card in the Tavern to use Patrons twice, then you end up having to sacrifice using any patrons on that turn in order to convert your Bewilderment card. if you keep having to do that multiple times, it definitely stinks. And if your opponent is close to achieving a Patron victory, then you get stuck turning Patrons while Bewilderments stack up in your deck.
