Can anyone explain how the fuck this game works?

I'm not talking about the literal mechanics, but the gameflow. It feels like I'm just playing a single player game, I make mobs bigger and bigger and use combos to stack high numbers.

As far as the difference in yours an opponents total strength is positive you 're mostly fine.
Then there is control cards, some big numbers are very susceptible to be put down by the right special cards.
Then you have card advantage, even if the current meta is "go for the first round", passing cleverly such that you can keep card advantage gives a huge boost (mostly because you'll be able to drop the last control/special).
To sum it up, play your strength cards as far as you know how to put the opponent's stength lower then yours with a single move

There may be more, but that's quite it.

...

Is the link with the leaks dead?

breddy gud

Let's talk timezones: it seems that playing after GMT 4PM is about the best time for winning in the ladder.

Anyone got any decent starter decks? And why the fuck is every new player playing Eredin?

Because they don't know how to utilize other leaders and think raw 11 atk is good, same with Craite.

An Craite wounding deck or consume monster is pretty good for a beginner with low scraps, google it.

I used this deck to get to level 10 on my alt account while saving up 1200+ scrap for meme ST deck.

Just get more points than the enemy. Nothing more. The game is basically Solitaire. People bitched about multiplayer Gwent and CDPR rushed the idea without really thinking if it can really work as standalone.

Cheers for the reply. I also managed to unpack this guy in one of my starting kegs, is he any good?

Extremely good. He fit in almost every deck.

As beginner you can run him in a wounding Craite deck, Operater Savage Bear for maximum meme

So what's his main use? I'm guessing it's to combo with something else, with the fact that the enemy gets the same card being irrelevant as they normally won't have the other combo pieces.

Think what card is useful to you if you had another copy while preferably helping you or at least is useless in your opponent's hand.

you use it for decks where the card effects only benefit you. like cards of the same name that buff each other or units with effects only you can trigger

Would you guys recommend picking a budget deck and milling everything else you get to craft it, or just using basic decks to build up cards?

Also what's this I hear about getting Ciri for free at level 18? Do you get any other cards like that?

Ciri at lvl 18 and Decoy at 20 are notable, fixed reward cards.

Yes you should mill everything except the deck you use to craft good cards and win games. Or drop some bucks and buy kegs.

>streamable.com/album/nxzsn
Why am I getting a blank page?

Is it worth milling the leader cards too or is that a bad idea?

Just mill them, they're meme tier leaders anyway and if you want to be edgy and use them 200 craps isn't a lot.

They're onto you
RUN!

Fucking patch when?

I haven't had a reason to play this game in weeks since hitting max rank and fucking around with the decks I found fun this patch.

haha :)

>nope.jpg
What is the general flow of MTG, HS, bridge, any card game that you play with an opponent>

>reason to play
Levelup so you get more kegs when the game hits obt?

>he doesn't know

>le epic trolle

Whoever goes the longest without making a post wins a prize!

What decks will we see in the next challenge (tomorrow)?

The same as always

N-n-no harpies?

The same
as
always

Do you mean like Ciri Discard?

What's a gwent challenge?

what decks are people currently playing? trying out a queensguard discard but it seems pretty shit against some decks because of not being able to interact with the other board outside of igni

I mean the
same
as always

>Challenger
playgwent.com/en/tournament

ST bounce but it's extremely inconsistent.

have they given a date for cb to finish?

haha :)

They forgot the month of April even existed.

Which one bros? Just starting out so I have 0 fucking cards.

Follow your dick

Aglais

Dick has been followed, thanks friends.

Just stop playing. This game has no future anyway.

I wonder how many hours the nay-sayers on this board have already clocked in the game..

The fuck are you talking about?

Gwent team is enough to make a smaller triple A title and yet they can't handle a Closed Beta. On China conference they said that with NG release we will get Open Beta and what? We still have only bare bones of the game. People are asking for new content and CDPR instead is making a 100k$ tournament for an unfinished game (maybe pour those money in the fucking game instead?) that still has ton of flaws and not even half of planned features. Not to mention they have no experience with making multiplayer titles. Witcher Mobile MOBA died as fast as it was released and the same will happen with Gwent.

But user, CDPR are based!

HS took 6 years to develop for Team 5. CDPR are trying to make a standalone competitive game based on a minigame in a RPG that is based on a old board game in less than a year with only a bit bigger team. They are just trying to ride on hype without actually thinking about making the game. It's bound to fail if they won't wake up.

But user, free cosmetic DLCs!

>no previous experience with multiplayer card games
>They are just trying to ride on hype
So just like Team5 then?
Except HS is flawed at its base while Gwent has more complex mechanics than HS 3 years after its release.
Oh and infinitely less rng bullshit and jewery.

But Gwent is also flawed at it's base.

We are still in CB and there are already changes like the one with Cahir and Milva where cards need to have a description "If the opponent has not passed." because CDPR did not expect that mechanics in a singleplayer minigame where you face only AI poorly translate into a standalone title lul.

CA being so important and the fact that every Card needs to have a value makes it impossible to implement interesting and fun cards that require set-up or different approach (look at Boar of the Sea).

Those things will only grow with time, once the game release.

Also you can tell that the game is rushed because the artstyle is all over the place. We have modernistic main menu and UI. Realistic Card artworks and animation and weird comic-like style with Shop, Campaign and avatars. They are not even decided on how the game will look and feel.

>tfw card artworks get revamped into the comic style

>artstyle is all over the place
Yeah, HS is better in that regard. Oh wait, no it's not. It has 20+ artists doing card art in 20+ different styles.

>there are already changes
As opposed to nerfing 2-3 cards a year and completely killing certain decks and classes like based Team5?
I'd rather the game gettting constantly patched and the meta shifting back and forth, than what's happening in HS.

>Scrap all my cards to make a Skellige wounding deck
>Get matched up against some fat streamer called "Swim" doing a free to play thing
>He calls me pay to win and says I'm "toxic to the new player experience" on stream

Yen the Conjurer nerf when?

kek I hope you won user
fuck that inbred

swim is not even that good at the game, don't know why the fuck CDPR promotes him so hard

Because Gwent is a serious e-sport and must be taken very seriously in closed beta

Can you spot it?

Gee Francesca, how come your mother lets you have 36 cards?

Beside Radovid and Cyprian, are there other cards that fuck with base str?

Mardroeme, Ragh nar roog.

Quite a few in Skaelige's lineup.

>Skaelige

Sorry, Skællige.

...

Du tror rigtig nok, at du er smart, hva'?

Nice, I can't be the first one to think that a Radovid deck with those cards would anally rape NR/SK and consume monster decks right?

Rad used to be THE lad but now he's a worse Lacerate

Cyprian is good, Radovid is nice too, but Mardroeme and Ragh nar Roog are meh at best.

But Ragh and Rad would remove 4 base str which would destroy the NR gold towers Axeman/Queen Guards round 1.

Cyprian is good but he can only remove Roach and unbuffed Nekker.

>Du tror rigtig nok, at du er smart, hva'
let me try to guess what you just said
you triangular nigger, you aren't the smartest huh

Why can't Coral spawn Frost effect?

Why isn't it mentioned in the card description?

You think you're real clever, huh?

Is there a video of the stream? I love to see fat neckbeards having a 'tism fit.

Cyprian still banishes nekkers at the end of the round regardless of their buff.

Please, explain. The nekker goes to the graveyard, loses base strength to zero and the respawn effect for the next one doesn't activate?

banished units dont go to the graveyard and they dont activate

Because initially she spawned both Fog and Rain on opposing side but it was too stronk so they nerfed it to a single choice.

wtf, watching Trump's stream right now, dude is lvl17/rk13 and he doesn't even know how the countdown of his vrans work..

I'm surprised I don't see more of him...

How nice of him to help beta test a Polish online card game even when he's in charge of the United States

Trump is legit autistic.

...

>TFW no new content in three months

WTF CD Projekt? Next patch better be huge af.

So is this game still play a top netdeck and maybe win or play/create an unknown deck and lose?

i wish i was as dead as this general desudesu

I want to play control scoia'tael but I don't have all these legendaries gwentdb.com/decks/16721-control-scoiatael is there a budget version?

Cool.

Had 4 cranch a crate warriors (?) On the board. Two were placed and two were from my leader ability, when I used warcry only two of them doubled in strength. Is this a bug or does it only work on the hero ability ones?

open beta when ?

at this rate in 2 years

The one legendary you absolutely need is aglais. Fill out your golds with epics. I recommend Ciri, yen:con, and I guess ithlinne is alright for a budget deck. For silver you can throw in Braenn, toruviel, cleaver, d bomb, cyprian wiley. Just use whatever you have. Yaevinn should be included though.

Bug.

Oh, don't craft Ciri or decoy because they're level up rewards.

should iwaste my Ore to get kegs ?

i lose it anyways after wipe, right ?
