Gwent is my favorite CCG with an awesome art design, music and style. But for some reason the game developers instead of nerfing cards which being played in every deck, despite of an archetype, add new faction with the most obviously overpowerd cards. Having a strong meta is bad not because you can't win against them, actually you can, just create a tier-1, tier-2 deck and you will play in an identical conditions. It is bad beacuse 1 step away from the meta equals defeat by a 20 points scoia'tael swings from Sheldon, tree and Barnaba, other archetypes suffer from this too (Where is the elf, dwarf decks? Right, there is no point in playing them). Every day i am trying to play Eldain, witcher deck, Demavend and this is just suffering. Eldain is the most enjoyable from these three, because you can play differently and trick your way to the victory. Demavend on the other hand... feel free to use Roche: Merciless against syndycate.
