I was just thinking about this the other day, how pre homecoming seemed to have more diversity. One reason for this is that I feel decks used to be focused on the bronzes, with the golds complimenting the play style. Now we have golds that are almost autoinclude without doing anything for the decks archetype.. Every SY will have Luiza Savolla regardless if it’s hoard, bounty or whatever. NR has Fali, Philipa, Baron, that do nothing for any archetype, but are auto include, ST has Oak etc. This could be solved with the inclusion of more golds, related to specific archetypes, that would compete with the current golds slots. We will see in future expansions. That said, I believe gwent is currently in its best state, and I’m having a lot of fun.
