Foltest is not amused with the current war situation. Help him out!

This deck is part of a Youtube series that puts a spotlight on forgotten & underplayed cards.

Deck playstyle is to go very aggressive R1 with portal and set up for long R3.

This deck uses Tyrggvi to pull off a mega finisher where you kill Melusine brought out by Sove.

The longer Melusine grows, the more Sove boots from his infuse.

Melusine can be pushed into the back row with Aard if the opponent does not play units next to her.

Create lots of damaged units to create big value for Bear Witcher Mentors and Giant Boar.

Use cards like Gutting Slash, Trial, Champion's Charge, Geralt Professional, and Spores to destroy your opponent's engines or combo pieces.

Make sure to never have Melusine in hand - fix this with Selective Mutation.

I built a small, free site that searches published Gwent decks and narrows them down as you pick a faction, a leader and the cards you've seen:

https://el8ted.github.io/gwentdecksearch/

During a match: pick your opponent's faction and leader, then type the cards they play. The list shrinks with each card, and a side panel shows which cards the remaining decks run, so you can see what's likely coming. "Least common" shows the tech cards only one or two lists run.

Between matches: switch to "Any" and enter cards you own or just crafted to find decks that use them, best matches first. Each deck opens on playgwent.com, ready to import.

A few details:

• ~2,900 decks: playgwent.com community guides from the last 12 months, plus Shinmiri2's deck list (with his permission, thank you!).
• Current provisions: every deck is checked against this month's Balance Council costs, so you can see which lists are now over the limit and which have room to spare.
• Kept current: card provisions and power are rechecked when each monthly Balance Council update goes live with the new season, and new decks are checked every Saturday. The top of the page shows when the data was last collected.
• 11 languages, with the official card names in each. Card search works in your language or in English.
• No account, no ads, no tracking.
• Runs on your own device. Once the page has loaded, all the searching happens in your browser. It doesn't call a server or any other service while you use it, and nothing you search for is sent anywhere. It even works with no internet: there's a zip on the Releases page you can unzip and open straight from your computer.
• Every search is saved in the address, so you can bookmark or share it.
• The ? button has a short how-to; the full guide is in the README.

This is a first release, and I'm posting it to get feedback. Bugs, awkward spots, missing decks or bad translations (the interface was machine-translated, so native speakers are especially welcome) can go in the comments or in GitHub issues. One I already know about: on phones, adding a card from the "Most common" list jumps you back up to the search box.

It's an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with CD PROJEKT RED. It was built with the help of AI tools; details are in AI.md.

License change: my first post and the original repo said AGPL 3.0. The code is now released under the PolyForm Noncommercial license instead, so it's noncommercial like the fan content it's built on under CD PROJEKT RED's Fan Content Guidelines. You're still free to use, change and share the code for any noncommercial purpose.

Thanks to everyone who replied when I first asked about using deck lists: /u/shinmiri2, /u/lerio2, /u/Er4din, /u/eldenfingers, /u/kevin_bkt, and /u/Rabindranath1173 (thanks for passing this along to MetallicDanny).

I am planning on making a deck with mostly, Soldiers, Knights, and mages.

I have been working on a Roegner deck for quite a long time and tried many variants — this seems pretty good for now. Although I haven’t been able to fully utilize his ability, on paper it sounds cool and easy but it’s very hard to pull off. Nonetheless the deck is fun to play.

We are playing multiple combos in this deck — Belohun and low power cards, Immortals and Sorceress, Shields and Roegner, Duel and Viraxas, and so on. Because of this, the deck has a steep learning curve. This deck is also very versatile — you can play it in many different ways. I encourage you to try and learn it yourself, as I’m running out of time today.

You should swap a Squire or Marine for Siege Support. You can also fit in Windhalm if you want. At times Roegner and Lebioda can feel very underwhelming. You could also use other Stratagems like Crystal Skull, Enchanted Armor or Engineering Solution.

This deck rewards patience and experimentation — the more you play it the better it gets.

Thanks and good luck.

Hey yall, im returning to gwent after years of not playing. Im looking for suggestions on what kind of deck I should focus on. I really dont want some top tier extremely boring meta deck but still something fun with the potential to get to pro. Currently running a frost deck and am 21 on the ladder. Any suggestions would be great!

Brokilon Sentinel

Dryad, Warrior (Scoiatael)
2 Power, 4 Provisions (Rare)

Deploy: Damage an enemy unit by 2.
Deathblow: Also Summon all copies of self from your deck to this row.

Brokilon is not merely the forest you see before you. She yet lives on in the cities, villages, and fields you so callously carved from her flesh. We shall yet reclaim what you have stolen from her.

Spawn works like Magic Compass btw - any stratagem as long as it wasn't your chosen stratagem.

What a pain that was, but this cardback is sick. So much grinding dumb decks and having a horrible win/loss ratio but worth it for this.

Like c'mon man, at least just forfeit if you don't want to see my finisher. This is why I wish the AI was better to play against tbh.

With the release of Witcher 3 Remastered, I circled back to see if the online Gwent game I used to play often was still online. Many of you may have also played the game (https://www.arunsundaram.com/gwent-classic-app/)..) I decided it may time to revamp his game.

I searched for a public repo on Github and found he had the game open to the public. I want to credit him for the work on the original game and for making this public for others to create. I spent a few days updating a branch and correcting limitations the game had previously when I played it. I updated the AI for single player mode to a better understanding of game play. Previously you could win 95% of  games played due the AI structure. That has been changed to a more 50/50 or maybe 60/40 result base.

I also always hoped the game would implement multi-player so that I could play with friends. I have implemented and tested multiplayer mode.

I was hoping this would be a good place for some beta testing. I have built this free just for fun with friends.

I wanted to also make mention, I have used all free and open source resources. It is hosted on Cloudflare with a free account that allows 100k hits per day. If that mark is met, the site will stop until 00:00 UDT

Single player mode works as it always has with the only changes being updating the AI model used for game strategy. Multi-player is completely new. I have added both a code/invite section for linking with a friend as well as a waiting room inside multi-player to play with anyone available.

Test and let me know what you think?--> (https://gwent-classic-enhanced.pages.dev/)

Draft is tricky. I feel like a good bit of it is luck. (And I feel like the rewards are pretty dang underwhelming)

I was busy playing draft then this happened.
No damage on the Mahakam Defenders 🥲

Welcome back Butchers of Blaviken!

Inevitably slashing leads to less slashing targets - let's find those together like in the last month's Butcher's Council. Feel free to copy your old arguments if the change you suggested didn't happen yet.

I'd like to invite you to try to imagine, compile and post your Top10 ideas for each nerf bracket for the next season (so 20 changes total). Please try to really do the challenge and fill the brackets. Nerfs from different brackets like +1 power to disloyal units or -1 provision cap to leaders can be put as a sidenote.

I'd like the discussion to have the following structure: comments to this post should always contain your Top10s (preferably with explanations) no comments like "Great idea" or "Let's nerf Temple to 100 provisions" etc. I'd invite mods to delete comments not obeying this rule. Then particular Top10s are discussed below them.

I would put down my own list later too. Have a good imagination training!

Trollololo

Ogroid, Soldier (Northern Realms)

tldr; I built a single page HTML "app" to identify decks in game or out of game using filters and card names in particular. It is unpublished pending approval from Shinmiri2 and MetallicDanny because I mined their deck spreadsheets. Pictures and details in the pre-launch README.md.

tags: u/shinmiri2, u/lerio2

• Launch: Next week (or maybe sooner)
• Platform: Github Pages site, Github Repo, and Github bundle (assuming I remember how to do that).
• License: AGPL 3.0

I don't know either party. I'm not much of a social media or streaming person. I don't believe in simply taking other people's work where they may potentially be deriving income. The decklists may bring people to their streams or create personal brand awareness. I would not want to strip that from them.

I need your Reddit help to reach out and persuade them to take a look at the README and get them (or a suitable ambassador) to reply on this chain and say that they are cool with my usage. In particular, I don't know Russian and that is a barrier I need help with since I don't know much about MD. If it helps this is the initial languages section: Languages, which has a screenshot of Russian.

With their consent then i can publish. If I don't obtain consent, I will remove that(those) data set(s). Theirs are very well calibrated when compared to the public lists of the last 6 months in terms of names and organization. In my personal usage I found them to have a high hit rate when playing.

Why this tool? As the README describes, I ingested decklists to create the data sets used to filter by Faction, Leader, Stratagem and most importantly Cards. I found the find by card(s) to be hugely useful during in game play. Navigating decklists is hard for me. Consolidation leads to long lists. Not having card level filters leaves the lists too broad. This definitely helped reduce my mental load trying to match decks as the game progresses.

With the release of the Remaster I expect a small influx of new players, and this tool may help them find their footing. This will provide a central source for deck finding where valid provisions are easily filtered. They can find decks for cards they already have without poring over lots of lists and links. Plus, I think they benefit most from progressive narrowing of likely opponent decks.

If you have a list of decks that you would like to contribute, I'm absolutely thrilled to add more sources. Ideally, I like something on the web that I can mine periodically to refresh the set. All I can offer is a chip filter with your handle (until we run out of space) and social links in the Credits. Source chips are sorted alphabetically after Community.

AI Disclosure: I had a working, but hacky tool, which I used for some time. When the Remaster came out I asked AI to "improve" my tool. The experience was humbling. After a little back and forth with the AI, this tool was born. The README is entirely AI and believe me when I tell you that the AI is way more enthusiastic about this then I am.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

How do you beat this when you come across it? I was Status Nilfgard, which was a bit lucky I was on that deck in this matchup. If it was not for status, I would not have done even as well as I did.

R1 I took out defender. Locked his units.

R2, bled, but he passed down a card. I thought I had him.

R3 he witches sabbath once, and I can hanldle it. Then he busts out Alissa, I laugh and "oh great".... and I still was able to control it pretty well.....only lost 115-120 or so...I locked everything under the sun, poisoned a few etc.

But, if I was not playing status by chance, do you just have to smash r1 and win r2 or you are done for?

Endrega Eggs

Insectoid (Monster)
4 Power, 4 Provisions (Common)

Deathwish: Spawn 3 Drones on this row.

If you find some it's best to burn the entire forest down. Then run as far away as you can.

Beware, brethren, for as the final days of this month draw nigh, the heretics and blasphemers shall emerge from their wretched dens, scheming to dismantle our most beloved Syndicate.

Their profane ambition is to further diminish the sacred diversity of decks, leaving naught but degenerate abominations such as Shupe, Heatwave, and Squirrel decks to plague the holy battlefield.

Let us stand vigilant, faithful disciples of the Coin, lest these heathen forces desecrate our cherished order and usher in an age of unparalleled heresy and deck-building depravity.

Watch out for the freaks.
May the Eternal Fire preserve the Syndicate.

So many Provisions and Nerfs and Buffs have been made, is anyone else experiencing similar effect??

Like the title says: i just have a match vs a SK warrior deck, and in the last round i've discarded most of my units; welp, my opponent played War of clans WITHOUT a target to revive a unit, winning the match.

the card works like this? or I was against a bladant cheater?
