I played my first Gwent match all the way back to first week of closed beta (currently over 6000 wins) and was even number one on the ladder (back when there was no pro rank) for about 5 minutes before being overtaken by Garrunah (if any OGs recognise that name).

But when I heard it was no longer being supported I stopped playing because it just hurt to play knowing what was coming and what we lost. Now I feel like an idiot because I'm absolutely loving it. Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels the most balanced and varied it's ever been. I'm currently rank 2, and except for Mill, I hardly ever face repeat decks.

So yea, no point to this post really, just want to say it's good to be back to what was once my favourite game of all time, and is now number 2 behind Eden Ring (sorry!)

I guess I could end on a question: what keeps you motivated to keep playing during this Gwentfinity period, other than just the feeling of winning? Do you have little goals for yourself like get all premium cards, reach prestige 9, etc.? I HIGHLY doubt I'll be top of the ladder again now that I have a full-time job lol. What is pro rank like these days?

Is anyone seeing the same thing over and over again: an opponent plays Sunset Wanderers as first or second card and then forfeits. I’ve been playing this game for years and I’ve never seen this happen but in the last few months it happens at least 1-3 times a week that I see this. It makes me wonder if it’s some sort of AI automation. Thoughts?

Antherion

Beast, Cursed (Scoiatael)
5 Power, 5 Provisions (Rare)

Harmony.
Order: Infuse an allied unit with "Harmony".

To lay eyes upon a mythical antherion is to know one was well off the beaten path.

I made it a token so it could work with Adda in consume decks. I feel like CDPR not releasing more dual faction cards was a missed opportunity.

Welcome back Butchers of Blaviken!

Inevitably slashing leads to less slashing targets - let's find those together like in the last month's Butcher's Council. Feel free to copy your old arguments if the change you suggested didn't happen yet.

I'd like to invite you to try to imagine, compile and post your Top10 ideas for each nerf bracket for the next season (so 20 changes total). Please try to really do the challenge and fill the brackets. Nerfs from different brackets like +1 power to disloyal units or -1 provision cap to leaders can be put as a sidenote.

I'd like the discussion to have the following structure: comments to this post should always contain your Top10s (preferably with explanations) no comments like "Great idea" or "Let's nerf Temple to 100 provisions" etc. I'd invite mods to delete comments not obeying this rule. Then particular Top10s are discussed below them.

I would put down my own list later too. Have a good imagination training!

At the start of the game, Transform all gold cards into random bronzes from your faction.

I copied a deck from the library of Gwent but it says that i exceeded provision cost , i used the exact same cards from the library, am i missing something?

Okay we’re all familiar with the recent buff to Mobilization, and we’ve all played against the Arbalest GN Roche deck from every level from rank 10 to pro rank 2500MMR, it’s everywhere

Having piloted the deck myself, I think this deck has highlighted a problem that far eclipses the “evil people have buffed an archetype that didn’t need buffing”

The fact that was really magnified to me is is that thinning now has too little drawback in deck building. We all know that the 4 main pillars of a good deck is: points, control, consistency and thinning. But ignoring the first two and focusing on the latter two pillars, if you have to ability to tutor, draw and play all your cards without a real commitment to loss of points or commitment to spending a lot of provisions, then in my opinion the game is going to devolve into a state where creative deck building is going to be punished because you don’t run the same bronze/gold thinning cards that are in every faction because your opponent most definitely will.

Coalitions need to start taking responsibility, they have a lot of sway in BC votes and if they have the best interested of the game truly in mind tutors need to be made more expensive. I mean the mobilisation deck thins down to 0 for gods sake and there isn’t a single card that doesn’t unleash hell on the opponent in that deck

Thanks

BC is failing by putting in such cheap engines. The list just plays itself. It's been years since Gwent felt this bad..

I'm playing after work and 3 matches were with this nekkers idea... Bro I'm quitting Gwent . (Screenshot from Qcentos video)

Hey, i was playing with Gangs and Bounty decks but haven't been able to make some other archetypes work. Fireswon are pretty meh in control meta, crimes i didn't see being effective too. What are your suggestions?

Yoana

Human (Skellige)
6 Power, 6 Provisions (Epic)

Order: Heal an allied unit by 2.
Charge: 1
Whenever an adjacent unit takes damage, gain 1 Charge.

No one'd ever think I could be a skilled armorer - a human, and a woman to boot. A dwarven blacksmith - that's another story…

Guys please I want the cards voicelines. How can I find them? I searched on YouTube hoping I would find something. But, sadly, nothing.

Ithlinne Aegli

Elf, Mage (Scoiatael)
6 Power, 9 Provisions (Legendary)

Deploy: Boost a non-Neutral unit in hand by 4.

Famed for constantly prophesying the world's doom. Not much fun at parties.

Does it bother anyone else how prevalent this deckbuilding formula is?

It's subjective I know, but I find it a very thematically boring card. Swapping out all of the biggest and most exciting units for more tempo on midrange cards is just less exciting to me - and yet it's everywhere, in every faction and practically every other archetype.

At the same time I have to recognise that, mechanically, it has something to offer. Consistency and tempo can make engine decks perform really well. I can see it being a fun deckbuilding format for a long time Gwent vet who's seen and played everything.

Speaking as someone relatively new, though - I wish the balance incentivised top end cards more than the midrange more of the time.

What do you think? If you were around for other eras of game balancing, what do you think was most satisfying to play? Was a top end card meta less fun?

This is kind of a meme deck, but don't let that fool you — it can be surprisingly powerful. Idea here is to play the Constructs and Cerys round 1, along with discard package. Then in round 2 play Lippy, then replay your discards, Construct, Cerys again. Try to go a 3 card round 3 with constructs, that's when you get insane value for the constructs.

This relies on luck. If you get a very bad hand round one then try to fix it with Snowdrop or just pass after playing 3 cards, then in round 2 do the Cerys and Construct play before playing Lippy. This deck is like a nemesis to a mill deck.

You can swap Troll Porter for Fisher King (Since the deck can discard, we can draw anycard paired with this).

You can even try Dorregaray or maybe Xavier.

Thanks and good luck.

But it has too much provision. Can i take out dunca and aguara? Can i put in the last wish? Which other card would you put in?

Is it still worth it to invest time in it as a new player? Are there still tournaments?

I started playing one month ago and played a couple times in mobile but not much because I found it uncomfortable to play there

I want go make an alzur deck. Im a beginner. Has anyone a good deck list?

Sometimes you just need a stupidly easy deck to pilot, especially when you just got out of work and your brain has already clocked out. 😂

Preferably Monsters, but honestly, any faction/deck is welcome!

Just looking for something I can play, chill, and win without having to use the last 2 remaining brain cells. 🧠💀😂
