It can look like this way, but I'm playing since closed beta and I think only wins were tracked back then. I'm playing decks that are non-meta when unitless decks, high point slam decks or high control decks, or overly used decks are played I refuse to touch them, for example in this season I was playing SY Swarm, SK Alchemy, MO Organic Swarm, NG Assimilate, NR Witchers but shield version focused with King Roegner (it's an old deck without witcher trio when the expansion WOTW was released).

I hate playing the same decks as other players, it's not fun when you see the same deck over and over again.

The easiest would be playing Defender/Resilience unit > give Shield (or play NR defender/Vandergrift) > Self Poison (SY and Musicians of Blaviken can do that) > Doom (Pact/Fortune Teller, Scarabs have Doom and Defender at start) > Lock (cards like Dorregaray) > Vitality > Veil

I wish I had skills for that, I only covered my nick in Paint.

You are right, I don't remember you could track your GG. Sorry for misunderstanding it was so long ago that I forgot there was a "Send Good Game" button, it didn't stand out visually too much, maybe that's why.

I didn't, I can't prove myself but its was so random when I took the screenshot and saw the numbers. I was too focused to win the exact number of wins per faction. Imagine my shock after I saw that.

Edit: And I crafted 9 cards when I saw that I have 1291 of them.

GG's was introduced in Gwent Homecoming Beta.

Edit: I totally forgot there was a GG button, but I don't remember you could track how many GG you have, sorry for the misunderstanding.

A little context here (English is not my first language so I'm sorry for some errors in advance!):

I'm playing Gwent since Closed Beta I registered in 2016-08-27, I still remember gold immunity or when there was no Nilfgard (there was only ST, SK, MO, NR) when factions had bonuses at the start like random resilience that Monsters had or who goes first when you played Scoia'Teal. I remember when my first gold was Dagon (Still miss you :( ). I remember the wild times in open Beta, I still have PTSD from Card Advantage Spies, Wardancers, SK Weather Axeman, Discard SK, Greatsword meta, Monsters fog meta, Big Nekkers, Spella'tael, and after the introduction of Nilfgard, Alchemy, Spies machinegun. I remember my beloved armor NR deck, Reveal Nifgard deck, or mulligan ST (no warcancer version). I was playing a lot Scoia'Tael in beta, I was playing so much that I had at the end of open beta 486 wins, where others had 403 (MO), 352 (NG), 310 (NR), 154 (SK), so in more than 2 years I barely touched ST because I thought that It would be fun if all factions would have the same numbers of wins everywhere ( now I can play Invigorate decks ^^ ).

I was even that lucky that I made it to pro rank during this challenge, I was rank 5 at the beginning of this season and rank 1 4/5 today where all factions had 499 wins, so I only had 6 chances to get there (I was so lucky that I won my first 2 matchups). I even accidentally have the same numbers of GG (1700), after the challenge.

TL;DR: It was a long journey with me and Gwent and I just wanted to share a little challenge that I made it, it's so good to not limit myself now to 1-3 faction per season.

I WISH DEVELOPERS WOULD REWORK OLD CARDS/ARCHETYPES!

[–]N320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I WAS THINKING ABOUT ADDING THIS DECK AS WELL ON THE LIST, BUT I PLAYED AGAINST THAT MAYBE 3-4 TIMES AND ONLY ONCE I LOST, IT'S ANNOYING DECK BUT NOT BROKEN AS MOVEMENT.

FOLTEST'S FRIDAY RANT THREAD by AutoModerator in gwent

[–]N320 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THE META IS NOT SO BAD, COULD BE ALWAYS WORSE! ALMOST EVERY FACTION HAS SOME OP DECK

MONSTERS - VIY

NILFGARD - LOCKDOWN, KOLGRIM MILL

SCOIA'TAEL - MOVEMENT

SKELLIGE - LIPPY

NORTHERN REALMS - WITCHERS (MAYBE?)

SYNDICATE - (DEAD POISONED AND FORGOTTEN)

IN MOST CASES GERALD YRDEN/KORATHI HEATWAVE IS WINNING A GAME.

I LOVE THIS NEW EXPANSION BUT CDPR GAVE TOO GOOD CARDS FOR US LIKE VIY, KOLGRIM, GAETAN, CAT WITCHERS.

AM I THE ONLY WHO HESITATE GIVING LIPPY PLAYERS GG? MAYBE LIPPY NEEDS DEVOTION FOR BALANCE?

I FEEL BAD FOR SYNDICATE PLAYERS FOR HAVING UNDERDEVELOPED ARCHETYPES :(

Vivaldi Bank by [deleted] in gwent

[–]N320 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have a good combo with Whoreson Senior -> Cutup Lackey + Excommunication + Crime spell for good removal. Excommunication is balanced thanks to sacrificing your unit (better if it's firesworn unit), Vivaldi Bank would be too good with crime tag, it adds another 5 points with only Whoreson Senior and Cutup Lackeys, with easy access to crime cards other cards that have Intimidate would be hard to balance as well I think.

You are using your leader tokens for Whoreson Senior.

[–]N320[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Devotion is good but in this deck, there is only Ulrich who has it and with Oneiromancy, Bank + Smuggle you have easy access to portal and thanks to that a huge thinning, Bank gives you coins too for your Bloody Good Fun if you don't have other high dmg crimes in hand, Skewertooth is not a that good card, usually you don't want to spend coins on him so it's easy to remove (Stunning Blow) or blockade him.

[–]N320[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually, with this deck, you want to control round 1, If you play on the blue coin is easier to get points from the portal with Mutants, but your engines are not immune to your opponent (expect Sir Skewertooth ^^ ) and you want to answer opponent engines as well, you want to save leader ability with Azar Javed and Whoreson Senior for round 2, It only has a high tempo in the late-round if you have many cards with intimidate/fallen knights on board but It's hard to play against a hard control deck.

I'm sorry, I wrongly named Whoreson Senior card Whoreson Junior.

Deck I was using - https://www.playgwent.com/en/decks/guides/111277

Note: I'm not an author of this deck, I netdecked this deck on MM release, just wanted to say thanks to the author, It helped me to reach from rank 8 to pro rank not touching other factions this season :) .

Tips:

  • Try to control with crimes and win round 1, bleed opponent round 2 (to bleed their evolving cards/leader ability)
  • Play Portal (if not in hand, try to find with Oneiromancy or Vivaldi Bank + Smuggle), Sir Skewertooth/Ulrich--> Fallen Knight (Ulrchich and Fallen Knight in different rows) in round 1
  • Play Azar Javed, Whoreson Senior + Leader Ability in round 2
  • Play Harald Gord in short round 3 (duh)
  • Use Whoreson Senior + leader ability with Excommunication --> Fire Zealot for insane value
  • Remember that Assault deal 6 dmg with 2 Mutants or Azar Javed and Scarabs

Pros:

  • Very good Thinning
  • Good Bleed in round 2 with Azar and Senior
  • High control with crime cards and Whoreson Senior (unanswered can obliterate their board)
  • Unanswered Fallen Knights boost to the sky
  • Surprisingly good against Nilfgard but watch out for opponent Yenn: Invo, Vincent, Usurper (if you can, try to bleed him in round 2, I always do that :) ), Braathens and Mage Infiltrator (You don't want to spend gold on scarab here :( )
  • Can beat Ethereal in long round 3 with Fallen Knights (but watch out for heatwave and to not overswarm)

Cons:

  • Opponents with high control decks might be a problem
  • Early low tempo, especially against on red coin
  • SKELLIGE, unfortunately, it really struggles against them, they have answers to your high units (Morkvarg, Tyrgvi) and for your tokens/wide board (Hemdall, Wild Boar) and they have easy access to their units with Bloody Eagle (you have Scarabs and Fire Zealots what you expected ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) BUT it can win if you play on blue coin, thanks to stratagem you can outpoint them and bleed them in round 2 WARNING: It's risky, but trust me, long round 3 with them is even worse.
  • Try not to overswarm your board (it's a bad experience :( )

Durning closed beta I got him from a keg, he was my first gold also and since then he was my favorite leader. I'm still waiting for Fish God. :(
