At Bandit Gang, the end of the year means the end of year interviews. All members are put to the test one by one about the events of the past year that shaped them. Private as well as business. In these interviews in which no mince of words will be stated, no taboos exist, sometimes harsh words are used and where you get a nice insight into the soul life of the interviewee.
Briberyplayer: It was horrible for a lot of people and it was very bad for me as well. It was definitely the worst year I’ve experienced. I’m not happy with my daily life right now and while the pandemic and the rules that naturally came with it do have a big contribution, I’m not happy with how I’m managing myself either. I tend to prefer staying in this comfort zone I’ve gotten used to doing very little for myself over doing something that would be much better for me mentally.
BJ: I hope you will be able to manage yourself better next year and do the things that you want to do in order to make yourself happy about who you are. And I know that this year you tried out streaming and that was how you joined us. How have you enjoyed it so far?
BJ: Its almost like you have an on-off relationship with Twitch. And did you experienced a funny moment on stream this year that you would like to share?
BJ: I saw that clip, it was pretty funny indeed. And I need to ask you this because I know the readers want to know. But what is it that you like so much about the card Bribery?
BJ: Ha, dream on. Well, you must know my opinion about the card by now. Lets jump forward to next year. Is there anything that you would like to do next year?
BP: I just want to get back on track with my life in all honesty. Like I said, streaming is an idea that I like so I will continue doing it as long as I’ll enjoy it, but the main thing I’d like to change next year is to just force myself to go out more until i like it, because I’m living very differently that how I used to and I miss a lot of that.
BJ: Sounds ambitious. Do you have any new year’s resolutions?
BJ: Looks like you have a lot of things to look forward to trying out next year. And before we end the interview here. Do you have anything you want to say to the reader in anticipation of 2021?
*Briberyplayer's Top 10 Cards of 2020
*Oddly enough, the card Bribery is not part of Briberyplayer’s top 10.
10. Squirrel – I’m trying to make this list based on the idea behind the cards and not necessarily how good they are. And this is an ability that makes sense in a game where Echo is a thing and I also like the availability of it, it’s a very cheap neutral.
9. Kerack Frigate – I like that they added more ways to row-stack in NR. Good synergy with Voymir, Draug etc while also being a dangerous card in itself if not dealt with.
8. Winter Queen – Unique way to thin your deck and one of the good thinning golds out there.
7. Ethereal – If this was the original Ethereal it would be much higher on the list. Very interesting card, extremely annoying to deal with.
6. Dunca – My favorite 7 provision card of Master Mirror. Hawker Smugler was already good and this is so much better.
5. Drummond Berserker – It just synergyses so well with what Skellige wants to do.
4. Oneiromancy – Since people wanna tutor more than just units, I feel like a card like that was needed. In my opinion, the best card in the game, but it’s very basic to be NR 1.
3. Braathens – It offers a lot of flexibility and it’s an engine. 10/10 card.
2. Ulrich – It puts 2 engines on the board if you spawn a Fallen Knight and a Fallen Knight is a double engine itself. Only downside is, it can brick.
1.Usurper – The idea of Evolving cards is very exciting and this one is a 12 point point-slam engine that triggers scenario. Perfect card, too bad NG doesn’t have much else.
