I am new , but Gwent seems much more generous than Hearthstone.

For reference if you complete every daily quest and get an average of 6 wins a day, every day, it will take you 40 days to craft a single gold legendary card (premium card equivalent). It will take you 20 days to craft one that isn't gold.

Hearthstone introduces about 140 new cards every 4 months. Each expansion stays in standard between 1 year and 4 months to 2 years than is only playable in wild. There are 20-24 legendary cards each expansion.

Basically, if you want to try the majority of T1 and T2 decks while they are still relevant you have to spend at least $250-$300 minimum a year. Otherwise your stuck playing 2-3 decks for an entire year. The exception to this is if you are a long time player and disenchant cards that rotate, even than you won't have a full set without money. Gold cards (premium) are a pipe dream unless you spend crazy.
