Well I stuck with NG and made 4222! The game tilted me a little since post game shows I'm at 4254 but when I check leaderboard it's lower even after I restarted. It's pretty dagon heavy out there so just teching in 2 row weather clears + weather mage is pretty good. Sitting 17-5 against Monster with the deck at 4k+.

Think I'm done with ranked lol, not worth the risk to hit rank 20.

The esports plan for Gwent has been unveiled:

CDPR pouring a lot of money into this! Amazing to see. I'm genuinely pumped by this announcement.
Forcing people to play different factions on the pro ladder is a great move as well.

OK, I've given this game another chance and it has changed quite a lot from the beta. It is a bit less boring but still favors pretty solitaire decks.

I mean, all you need to do in this game to win consistently (at least around rank 10, will need to play further to validate) is a deck that can mill its cards properly. Sure, it does take some skill to know what and when to mill but it can all be boiled down to "get rid of shitty cards as soon as possible and have all of your finishers in the deciding round". Sounds simpler than it is but that's pretty much it. 90% of it is pretty much deck-building, so you have a deck capable of doing just that.

Example decks:

https://www.gwentdb.com/decks/52717-scorched-earth

I especially like the Scorch'tael deck as it tends to catch people by surprise (somehow the spy deck is more obvious than this - go figure). Still missing 1 gold card for it (substituting with decree) but it's working great.
