I'm fairly disappointed with the announcements in the stream to be honest. Of course there are some interesting new cards/changes - finally a start of a dryad synergy - BUT there is nothing about agility. I was pretty much counting on them, that this whole "Make every card agile"- thing gets something to become Gwent again.
Last stream they said something huge is coming for agility, if it comes next patch - another 2 months - it is not the right approach to give the game more agility as an interim. I want the Closed Beta Gwent back. Being limited to rows with certain units, having agility as a rare mechanic in the game; Golds can be agile, but not every bronze unit should with Scoia'tael, as the best fit, having the least.
I just finished the Gwent Slam 2 matches. Seeing close to every game, both players stacking - and being able to stack - one row solely, without any effect, simply by playing those units from hand, leading to them eating one lacerate was heartbreaking. It feels enormously dumb that this is possible and lucrative.
