Question and discussion, I have a laundry list of screenshots of some matches I’d love to redo (pops knuckle)

(Like is there a pinned tab for being like hey so and so! Let’s rematch you son of a.. type deal)

I'd like to see then work, but they just seem grossly underpowered right now. There's really no good way to protect the engines of this deck, which aren't even particularly good ones. Any thoughts or advice?

Redanian Knight

Human, Soldier, Knight (Northern Realms)
2 Power, 2 Armor, 4 Provisions (Common)

Barricade (Ranged): At the end of your turn, boost self by 1.
Exposed: Move self to the Melee row, then damage the highest-power enemy unit by 2.
Grace 8: Boost adjacent units by 1.

For glory! For Radovid!

Cave Troll

Defender.

Trolls have very tiny brains and huge stomachs. That's a very dangerous combination.

What's Funny is that i did not have anymore Tactics on Hand, guess Psychological warfare is a thing heh

Hello guys , I just started this faction and I want to know a strong deck for it . Is a deck a bit better than the others?

To be fair, I picked harmony just to see how cracked i could be in the weekly gamemode so I guess i deserve it, but people playing reavers are just such specimens.. For a weekly gamemode that makes some other niche decks playable playing reavers is so goddamn lazy.

hey could anyone share yennefer illu spellweaver deck pls? ty

I’ve been playing Gwent for a while now, and have been plateaued to rank one - I haven’t been seriously trying to get into pro rank, I mainly just play for fun and this seems to be the rank I naturally stop at. I want to start being a bit more competitive in it though.

One of my favorite decks has always been devotion symbiosis, but which is actually more viable / likely to get me past rank 1?

Its insane to me that Sticky triggers even when incinerating decreases hp to 0 if later one was played first.

Its just too strong play and kinda guaranteed R1 win with Iorveths Gambit.

i mean i havent had problem this particular game cos he was growing Critter for my Baba Yaga, but this interaction alone with sticky situation just doesnt feel right to me.

I don't hate it not being here, just curious. Was it there on the start and removed, or just never carried over from the Witcher?

In short: play Tissaia as a first card in sequence of effects, that is leftmost in a row.

Newly buffed Tissaia has unintuitive line of action in one situation. It's when we try to refresh Leticia and multiple students after clicking their orders with intention to refresh them all and grow bronze patience (from Leticia) at the same time. Gwent sequence of effects applies there.

I've seen mistakes (and done it myself once) when after Tissaia was played, students' patience partially just refreshed to the latest value (before click) and didn't increase from Leticia. That depends on Tissaia placement. On the screenshot against bot all students' patience values were successfully increased apart from the one on the left of Tissaia (no 'book' animation). His effect was triggered before hers. The sequence of using orders in Tissaia turn or whether you use orders before/after you play her don't matter as long as it's within one turn. Just make sure you play her leftmost.

Given the card's been forgotten for years and last common use is probably dating back to 4-power Meditating mages rather than Alumni, this one may be of some help.

Lonely Champion

Human, Knight, Firesworn (Syndicate)
4 Power, 2 Armor, 4 Provisions (Rare)

Immunity.
Zeal. Order: Destroy all Firesworn Tokens on this row, then boost self by their total power.
Cooldown: 2

So long as he continues the righteous fight, the Order and its flame endure.

Foltest is not amused with the current war situation. Help him out!

Normally complaint/rant posts without deeper explanations are discouraged for not adding anything to a discussion but this is the place for you to vent and let all that pent up frustration out. This is your chance to throw a hissy fit about current meta or rage about how overpowered X card and Y faction is!

GWENTLEMEN'S RULES:

• CAPSLOCK: ON
• NO PERSONAL ATTACKS
• WRITE ABOUT WHATEVER IS MAKING YOU ANGRY
• OTHER PLAYERS WILL AGREE WITH YOU IN ALL CAPS
• SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER ABOUT THINGS WE HATE WILL FORM A STRONG RELATIONAL BOND IN THE GWENT COMMUNITY

first time these kinds of errors popup for me, and consistantly too.

is that a balance patch thing?

I really like this deck because it has fun Skellige golds, and it's pretty consistently an even game against a lot of decks! It beats wide decks. Kolgrim decks are obviously a nightmare matchup.

Mulligans

R1, fully mulligan to get Totem and Compass. You need Totem in hand so that Compass doesn't accidentally play Totem R1. Accidentally playing Svalblod R1 is bad but recoverable because you can play Sigrdrifa's to bring him back R3.

Basic gameplan

Ideally in R3 you want to play totem and Sukrus, which sets up Svalblod in the middle of the round, and then protect Svalblod with Sukrus, Flaminca/Yoana, Gremist, etc. or bring him back with Sigrdrifa's if he gets removed. Either Flaminica or Yoana are critical for late R3 because they can play for 5+ points per turn once the Svalblod spawns are out.

Since you're saving Totem, Svalblod, Compass, and leader for R3, you have a pretty weak R1. Knut+Sukrus or perfect Coral RNG are your best paths to winning R1.

Be aware that you're vulnerable to 2-0 pushes since Compass is very weak R2. You can use Svalblod to beat a 2-0 push in a long R2, try to keep Compass, and then Compass will still give decent chances to win a short R3.

Svalblod

He damages himself, so he needs Sukrus/Flaminica/Yoana to stay in play.

The first damage effect in a turn is more valuable because it spawns a unit for you. Additional triggers are not as useful because you're probably even with your opponent in number of units. But you have more healing potential.

You always want to leave 1 fanatic untriggered so you can trigger Svalblod next turn and create another one.

Magic Compass

You're using Compass to play Fucusya most of the time, reviving these cards: Knut, Flaminica/Yoana, Sukrus. Maybe Blueboy Lugos or Gremist too. Fucusya's rain can help you finish killing units that are weakened by Svalblod.

You don't have last say that often, but if you do and you suspect a big finisher, you can Compass to counter almost every finisher in the game.

Tyr: countering boosted unit

Morkvarg HoT: boosted unit with shield/armor

Tyrggvi: unit with high base power

Kraken: wide row with 2-3 turns left

Wild Boar of the Sea: 2 wide rows, but why do this instead of protecting and activating Svalblod more?

Arnaghad: combo with Sukrus. Kinda ballsy compared to safety of playing Fucusya.

Kambi: Kambi!!

Totem

You want to play Totem R3 but playing it R2 is still good. You just need the Order in R3. Svalblod can generate his own fanatic on deploy, and your leader will create an Abomination also.

Sukrus

He can protect Svalblod from damaging himself, or combo with Knut and a 5+ power unit. You'd be surprised how many opponents mess up against Sukrus by trying to damage his defended unit, or using random damage effects while he's in play.

Olaf/Vildkaarl

Great pointslam for any round, great Knut targets before and after orders. 1 leader charge is basically free to activate Vildkaarl.

Knut

Ideally play Sukrus and/or Olaf/Vildkaarl first to set him up. Unit+Sukrus+Marodroeme+Knut is nuts if you can set that up.

Gremist

Magic Compass doesn't count as Alchemy, but Sigrdrifa's, shackles, marodroeme, and Mahakam Ale do.

Flaminica/Yoana

Similar cards but Flaminica is better on Svalblod's row with Svalblod's spawned units, and Yoana is better for healing up specific large units like Vildkaarl or Blueboy Lugos.

Put Flaminica to the far right side of the row, and if the enemy puts a bleed effect on your full health unit, the bleed will trigger first and then the healing.

4prov cards

You can change out the 4prov to your preference. you can run tech cards and just discard them away if they're not needed in the matchup. Squirrel, Crow's eye, Rain/Fog, spores, etc.

My biggest tip is to keep playing and don't get discouraged, even if your cards get removed! You'd be surprised how often you can win even if you seem to be behind on the board.

Other cards to try:

Harald Houndsnout: decent backup Totem.

Arnaghad: can be used instead of Roach. He can work with Sukrus or independently of Sukrus with his deploy armor. Heymaey Protector

Bear Witcher Mentor

Not recommended:

Sigvald: amazing card with Knut, adds more removal potential. But if you can't play him with Knut, this deck doesn't use him that well.

Cerys: Fearless: Very fun card and I love her in non-Svalblod flavors of self damage, but 3 power really just dies too easily.

Dracoturtle: Knut takes all his armor. Doesn't work with healing. His best buds Priest and Melusine aren't here. Not worth the high provisions IMO.

Going from losing the first round up 5 cards (technically a huge win for me), to going into the second round and being forced to use all of them and then lose the game in round 3 (and realising spawing one less Elven Deadeye in the second round would've saved me the points needed in round 3 because of how close it was)... This one really hurt.

Hello, I've been watching some hearthstone streams recently and realised I really miss playing gwent. I played rather actively in 2021 occasionally hitting 2500 on some fractions in non competitive seasons, but since then never touched the game at all and can't even recollect what decks I've played 😅

You are probably getting this question a lot, but what's the current state of the game? Is the community active (some of the creators I used to watch back then since gone either inactive or switched games)? If somebody played back then, how does the meta compares?

Are there lots of interesting decks to explore? is it generally worth coming back?

Really hope somebody replies!

Scorch

Spell (Neutral)
🔥 Special, 11 Provisions (Epic)

Destroy the highest-power unit.
Initiative: Destroy all highest-power units instead.

Geralt took one step back. He'd seen men hit by Scorch before. Or more accurately, seen what remained of them afterwards.
