Ran into another 25 power legendary: Hjalmar.

Comes on the board with 15 strength, puts a 5 strength Ogroid on your side of the field. If that Ogroid dies, Hjalmar gains an additional 10 strength.

Of course my opponent killed it straight away the next turn lol, removing 5 hp minion from board isn't exactly hard.

So what's the play there, pass as soon as Hjalmar hits the field? (Assuming you aren't already behind and passing makes sense)
After seeing this and Tibor, those gold weather cards seem rather tame tbh

You made the correct choice lmao

Even with people running anti weather, that doesn't change the fact that rag and drought are imba as f, worst cast scenario you drop it for a free 6-9 damage that they HAVE to play a card to counter or they lose the round

This card requires another step for the additional 10 power. If your opponent spends a card killing the Ogroid, it's not really as OP as Tibor.

The counter card is usually bronze/silver, so you are trading a gold for a bronze for 6-9 dmg, or gold for silver for 2-4 dmg assuming the silver card is about 4 str.

Yeah perhaps.
He pulled off a neat little combo though

1) play the 4 strength bear which does 1 dmg to any minions your opponent summons
(In hindsight I should've immediately killed this bear, lessons learned)
2) play Hjalmar, Ogroid comes on my side of the field and takes dmg from his bear
3) play a creature that does 2 dmg to an enemy, if the enemy was already wounded, summon another copy of this creature

Tibor is pretty insane, a really good bronze is only worth about 10 points on average.

It gives them an extra turn in the final round though so they can use that bronze card to stall and play a better card later that you then can't respond to.

Tibor gets played towards the end so the opponent doesn't really have the luxury of optimizing the sequencing with the extra turn. I don't think it would be correct to drop him early in the round.

I think you'd be right about that in the closed beta. This open beta is less about card advantage and more about tempo, a 25 power gold card is pretty impossible to overcome with a single bronze draw.


I'm sure something will be figured out the old weather and buffs made it easier to abuse CA but there will be someone else im sure.

Balance in the game doesn't really exist until you have a full set of cards

Currently there's a big gap between new f2p players and the closed beta guys who are like 100 kegs ahead of everyone else

Hey I had closed beta, but when open beta arrives all cards were reseted. Not sure about statment saying people are 100 kegs ahead. This is not true, unless they buy card in beta lulz. But pretty much yes, if u dont have cards u cant play this game when u meet a opponent who just use legend after legend while u only have basic geralt hehehe

And its not like you will find balance in card game based on RNG (as every card game).

Will see in the future if game is more balanced that pay to win hearthstone.

You get refunds for kegs (ofc) but they also got kegs for being ranked level in the closed beta

Finally reached lvl 10 and got placed at rank 7. Received another 4 kegs and hundreds of scraps for that, the amount of free stuff you can collect in Gwent is definitely nice. The f2p experience feels solid so far.

On a less positive note, opened an epic and AGAIN it was one of the first 4 cards in the keg, so I didn't get a choice between 3. This happened with my first (and so far only) legendary as well.
It's really shitty that it's complete RNG whether you get to choose between 3 epics/legendaries or 3 bronze rares -_-

Finally got enough stuff to build myself a half decent queensgard deck now

I'm really enjoying gwent atm. The game is just about generous enough with packs if you play a few weeks you can build most decks bar the legendaries

It's fine for some of the decks where legendaries are just "insert good card", and for some other decks the legendaries are 100% vital (illithene in dwarfs) (RNR)

The most important aspect of the game is the mechanics are good and it has a good amount of strategy and deck variety and it's not just some RNGfest

I just look at it as a bonus its rare to get an extra rare/epic/legendary so to get 2 in a keg even if you don't get to choose is a nice bonus.

Hmm, I'd much rather have 4 commons + a choice between 3 legendaries than 3 commons, 1 legendary, and a choice between 3 rares.

It resets the pity timer as well. At my current rate of ~3 kegs/day I pretty much get 1 legendary/week. But there is a big difference between "1 random legendary/week" and "choose one legendary out of 3 each week"

Got my budget dwarf deck almost completed, didn't take aslong as i expected as a F2P player. Probably gonna use it to grind untill i get multiple other competitive decks sorted, it'll probably get a bit tiresome after a while but whatever, so far im having a lot of fun.
