Gwent cards 2.0 - Witcher - 5 decks with fixed game balance. PREMIUM EDITION For Sale

Gwent 2.0 – This is Gwentfrom Witcher 3 with fixes to improve the balance of the decks and large cloth battlefield.This is the premium edition with extraaccessories:5 cloth storage bags for decks andTemerian steel coin (you can findthe standart editionwithout extraaccessoriesin another listing).

Why was rebalancingnecessary?Because the power of the decks in the Witcher3 version was not equal. The Northern Realms and Nilfgaard were too strong becauseof their spies. Other decks, especially Scoia’tael, were much weaker. The Scoia\'taeldeck didn’t have strong enough troops or enough effective options for scoringpoints. The Monster deck was too vulnerable to Frost because of too many close combattroops in its army. The turning of berserkers into bears - Skellige\'s chiefmechanic - was not efficient enough. The unsurprising result was that spy deckswon much more often.

We studied all these errorsand fixed them.The Northern Realms and Nilfgaard decks wereweakened and other decks were strengthened or were given effective tools tofight. As a result, all five decks now have an equal chance of winning. Gwent2.0 is for players who desire fair card battles! We played hundreds of battlesto test the balance, so you can be sure that the gameplay of Gwent 2.0 is muchbetter than that of original Gwent.

SCOIA\'TAEL
Its army has become more agile. Additionalguerrilla options were added into this deck (for example, abilities likeVrihedd\'s ‘Decoy’ or ‘Scoia\'tael Ambush’). ‘Agility’ was also reworked, so nowyou can move troops to another row right in the middle of a battle.

MONSTERS
Ranged and siege monsters were strengthened. Nowthere is no need to focus on close combat monsters, making this deck lessvulnerable to Frost. Additionally, we added some new abilities (Gaunter O’Dimm’s‘Contract’, Caranthir\'s ‘Frost’, Necrophages, Foglet). All of them make Monsterdeck tactics much more complex and varied.

SKELLIGE
We added additional berserkers and new ways toturn them into bears, making the turning tactic significantly more effective. Wealso added a new special card ‘Skellige Fleet’ and 3 additional leaders, so nowthe islanders have 5 leaders like the other factions.

NORTHERN REALMS
The value of spies was increased, so now carelessspy spamming can do more harm than good; players must wait for the right momentto get the best use from them. As compensation some ranged and close combattroops were strengthened, so now players don’t have to rely on siege troops (aswas the habit in Witcher 3). Northern tactics overall have become more varied. Also,Sheldon Skaggs and Zoltan Chivay got new ‘battle comrade’ ability. Each ofthese brave dwarfs can now protect another card from death, especially usefulas the Northern ‘tight bond’ troops were very vulnerable to Scorch.

NILFGAARD
Very strong troops were weakened and the valueof spies was increased. The number of medics was reduced, making it harder todraw spies from the discard pile and reuse them. As compensation some cards gota new Emissary ability, which complements the spy gameplay of the Nilfgaardians.Emissaries can be combined with spies to increase their effectiveness.

FIXED LEADERS’ BALANCE
In Witcher 3 Gwent, some decks had ineffective leaders, while some werevery strong. For example, the version of Emhyr which allows players to \"drawone card from opponent\'s discard pile to your hand\" was the strongestleader among all the Nilfgaardian leaders and it was used by players in 90% of cases.At the same time the version which \"resurrects one random card fromyour discard pile (in your favour) and one random card from your opponent\'sdiscard pile (in opponent\'s favour)\" seemed useless compared to the former,and therefore was almost never used. The same imbalance was also present insome other decks. In Gwent 2.0 we improved the ineffective leaders so now eachone in each faction is useful.

CARD BALANCE AND ANOTHERFIXES
In the Witcher 3 original, unit cards were notequal in strength. Each deck had a set of around 15 very strong cards, whichplayers used in every battle with very little variety. Medium and weak cards werealmost never used. We fixed that. Most of the weak cards were either strengthened(by increasing their power or adding some ability) or removed. In Gwent 2.0each deck has 32-38 completely useful unit cards, so deck building has becomemore interesting. Details can be seen in the photos. Also, the number of weathercards (Frost, Fog, Rain, Clear Skies) was reduced from 3 to 2 to avoid weatherspamming. Major neutral cards (Ciri, Geralt, Yennefer) have a copy for eachdeck (except Monsters).
