Welcome to CCGs. Eventually they all become just who has the best IMBA cards. And as new cards are released they will be made netter so people by and drop the previous OP.
Gwent will be like Hearthstone. Cookie Cutter decks. Search the net for best of the best - copy clone and play. I am guessing Super Spy and Dorfs are the top two decks right now. The Northern Realms all their armor up probably 3rd.
I looked at the usual "best win rate" decks and much like Hearthstone - yeah okay - need 5000 iron get me some of the OP and them play vs farming.
Like Cerys 20 game win steak with cursed.
Aracnes Queen deck.
So once you get all the OP cards then try and win matches.
Sheesh.. I have been critical of Gwent, but at least I am using my critical-thinking ability when doing so!
I understand you're upset and I can certainly sympathize. But c'mon man, you have to have valid criticisms. I play NR exclusively and know how to beat the Arachas Queen deck, even using such a crao faction. One has to "tech the living crap" out of the AQ deck-type. There are so many neutral cards to choose from for this endeavor, and they don't take much scrap to craft.
By the way, if you're having trouble getting/making cards, I suggest milling cards for factions you do not use, in order to build your deck of choice. Besides. if you play enough Gwent, you're going to get enough free scraps and barrels. I think it happens to every player who goes on for a while; they accumulate more deck-building resources than they can use. I have a stockpile of scrap and barrels that I will not open until new cards come out. There's no point.
Last issue: You mention hating NR third-most? Awwww nooooo chance it deserves that much hate! If anything, it deserves pity. NR is the least synergistic of all the factions and has been THE bottom-feeder since I started playing, back in the Summer 2017.
