Monster tall units works very well. Out of 20 games I lost one. There are few opponents with tall removals and most people don't counter 6/7/8 bronze units.
Special mentions for useful cards:
- Imlerith: If you're dominant you can often choose your opponents card and get 14 points.

You missed that there will be cards with two factions now in the comming expansion. The dwarf "Sausage Maker" will also be included in Scoia'tael for example.
And the circle closes - previously Gwent was too bright and cartoonish. Now it is too dark and gritty. :shrug:

I made that deck for the contract: https://www.playgwent.com/en/decks/guides/8167
Operator is also very useful for getting Ducal Guard or Imperial Diviner on the opponents field and graveyard. With Duchess you can then get extra copies and resurrect them later on with Experimental Remedy.
Is there something not working with the "Play 40 cards in one match"-quest? It isn't unlocking for me. I've tried a discard deck which resulted with 44 cards in the graveyard. Are there some interactions that don't count? Like summon or doomed?
For the Swing Time achievement you don't need a 30 point lead.
You have to generate 30 points in a single turn by playing only one card. But you can use artifacts, hand buffs, etc. for that.
I used a deck Xavier Moran / Aglaïs buff deck which can easily go over 30 points.
Are you talking about the "Overkill" - contract? Try doing it in the second round when the opponent dry passes. You will loose the game but win the achievement :)
I did use a similar deck with Aglaïs and Xavier Moran for both 50 points contracts. You can even scorch on your own unit to get the "The Bigger they are..."- achievement xP
I love building decks for the contracts. The hardest so far was "No Holds Barred", but I somehow got it with a Lippy...
I had a match with CA against Scoia'tael and the last card my opponent played was the instakill trap. Which is a risky but rewarding play. My poor 23 point Ghoul didn't survive :I
