One step forward, two steps back...
Disclaimer: I have achieved Pro Rank twice (I don't play much) and have experienced Gwent in all its forms (Alpha, Beta, and Release). I own 99% of all cards and have never purchased any card packs with money. I waited for a year and pushed hard in certain months to see whether new Gwent would grow on me and I still have the same issues. Pros: - No other CCG comes close to how F2P friendly this is. If you're new you'll have a deck that can reach Pro within a month. - Coinflip is less oppressive - No CA spies Cons: - An entire row has been removed and despite endless promises to make rows matter it has boiled down to "Can my unit use his ability on this row or not? No? Then I'll place it on the other one". Is this truly supposed to be better than early beta when all units were locked to a realistic row, or later in beta when all units were made agile? - Small numbers. The average bronze value of 12 power in beta meant that balancing was easier because CDPR could adjust incrementally. A card going from 4 power (average) to 3 power in Homecoming is a 25% nerf. In beta, losing 1 power would be an 8% (approx.) nerf. - Provision system is awful. Look at the leader abilities. Notice how 95% have 15 or 16 provisions? The only exceptions are chronically under-used powers (Tactical Decision, Ursine Ritual), abilities that got hit with nerfs in previous metas (Mystic Echo, Fruits of Ysgith), and Lockdown. In the beginning you could run a crappy ability in exchange for having better cards on average, or run a better ability with worse average card power. Now that everyone is basically on the same level at 15 or 16 provisions, all depth is gone. The old beta class system of bronze/sliver/gold was much better. - Tutoring has been obliterated and thus every deck has become more dependent on card draw RNG. - Mulligan system has been trashed. You can draw the same bronze card twice unlike in beta which had blacklisting for copies. - Artifacts are worse than beta weather
