Well, how to put it? I loved Gwent back in the Beta. It was a fun game, cards had synergies, even with a limited amount of gold and silver cards, you could build your deck around that archetype, and made it work, be it a engine or engineless card, you had the tools to actually make your deck work your way. Now, we have less cards ("but you can use cards with similar effects" yes, what I achieved with 3 bronzes, now I need 6, because there is so much removal in this, and so many waiting around everything), boring leader interactions (it's so fun to see Eithné pinging your entire deck for 20 minutes with 2 spears, her leader ability, Sihil, etc..), lack of tutors to help thin the deck, no blacklisting (let me swap this one power card i don't need, oh great, the second copy of it), and the overall bad balance of the game, makes the winter update looks like a bless compared to what homecoming is.
