First I have to say a few things.. I'm absolutely loving the new Gwent especially after the Patch realeased today which changed the Mulligan-System. I was a Closed Beta tester in 2016 so I know almost every state of the game with many changes it gone through until today. Sure the ''old'' Beta Gwent was fun because with a decent deck you could always play out your full deck. On the same side there was little to no option of free deck building because the cards for a specific archetype were already determined and only allowed you to implement a few neutral cards to make a ''unique deck'' Since the midwinter patch (dec.2017) Gwent had become a point slam card game which very much focused on how to abuse the coinflip (Who goes first) and how to gain an advantage out of it. This isn't a thing in Gwent today! +The visuals look much better. Also cards dont look like a tiny stamp anymore +Coinflip got addressed and is more balanced (49-51 percent according to developers) +New order ability adds variety to games +New provision system makes it easier for the developers to balance the game. +Finally the game has a solid build and can go forward (no heavy changes are expected to the core of the game) +Deckbuilding is more fun with the new provision system. +There is a reward book which gives you in-game currencies and where you can unlock skins all for free All in all Homecoming Gwent feels superior to its predecessor once you get into it and give it a chance. It's also important to say that you can play entirely for free and get every card of the game by simply playing it.
