Should be a bit like FF8 triple triad where you actually can lose your good cards, but then can win them back straight away. Seems like opponent is risking their big cards and you risk nothing.
Still loving Gwent though, probably played it more than game haha. That really tough mage shop guy in Novigrad, cant beat him out of 10 attempts, he has like 5 spy cards/scorch cards every time, gonna go around and work on my collection. Basically have to have a perfect deal to have a chance, enjoy the challenge of beating him. Looking forward to big tournament whatever that entails.
I knew who you're talking about and yeah, he is ridiculous. In the first match I screwed the pooch and accidentally hit B after I used a revive card otherwise I would have beat him, but the next few attempts all ended up poorly. He has a ton of spy cards and scorches as you mentioned, plus he has several decoys in his deck to steal your spies. After seeing how powerful his deck was I openly forfeited a few mediocre draws until I got one that I liked and ended up winning.
It's a fun little mini-game but would probably suck PvP contrary to what some think. There's not enough strategy outside out of hording spies and decoys and having really powerful units. Still great for what it is though, and I think people who have ignored it are missing out.
