How to Play Northern Realms Deck
Gain Card Advantage Using Spy Units
First, you can use the Spy cards in your hand to add more cards to your hand. While these units add to your opponent's point total, the amount of cards they'll have in hand for the next round will be much less than yours, allowing you to take a round just from card advantage.
Build Up Your Point Total Using Tight Bond Units
Drawing cards with your Spy units will also allow you to get multiple copies of Tight Bond units in your hand. The power of these units double each time another copy is played on the field, and you have Tight Bond units for each row on the field, allowing you to play flexibly instead of just focusing on playing units in one range.
List of Gwent Card Effects and Abilities
Power Up Your Tight Bond Units with Commander's Horn
You can double the power of your Tight Bond units by playing a Commander's Horn. If you've only drawn multiple copies for one specific Tight Bond unit, you should place the Commander's Horn on that unit's row.
Clear Weather Using Your Leader Card
Your Tight Bond and Commander's Horn setup can be negated if your opponent uses Weather cards like Biting Frost or Impenetrable Fog, so use your Leader card, Foltest: Lord Commander of the North, to clear the field of all Weather effects.

Listen, there is NO situation in which having 3 decoys is a bad thing. Either you need all 3 to counter the opponents spies, or you can use them to use the medic or Villentretemir again. But not using 3 decoys is a crime against the game and makes me seriously question the article
