Talk:Nilfgaardian Empire Gwent deck/@comment-79.77.71.194-20170503023256

The article says that this deck can draw an extra 16 cards but it's actually possible to draw more than that. Let me just go through the list:

There are three natural spies and Mysterious Elf, allowing you to draw 4 times. (8)

The opponent has up to three spies that you can Decoy and play, allowing you to draw an extra 3 times (6).

Using   Emhyr var Emreis: the Relentless  to draw a spy from your opponent's discard pile gives you another spy to draw with (2). This brings us up to the total the article says of 16 extra.

Something quite common (lategame) is that your opponent will Decoy the spies you play and play them back at you. The next round, you can play one of your medics (Yennefer, Menno, or one of your natural Medics) to revive them.

3 of your spies Decoy'd and in your discard pile for the next round to be revived (6).

2 spies revived by an opponent and then transferred into your discard pile either through Scorch or ending the round (4).

So it's actually possible to draw an additional 26 cards, for a total of 36 cards drawn from your deck including the starting hand. When you're in the lategame and facing against fellow Nilfgaard decks, this might happen.
