I believe it at least favours lower quality cards, if available. (And as there are almost always some commons...)If this is truly the case, then the Prestige 5 description is very misleading or there's a bug in how the premium card in the first four is selected.
I'll be opening several hundred kegs once I reach Prestige 5.
You are correct. Prestige 5 guarantees that at least one of the first four cards revealed in every keg is a Premium.Is Prestige 5 where you get one guaranteed animated card per keg? I'm on that now.
No, I just saved most of my ore and keg rewards for several months.Are you saying that you haven't opened any keg you've gotten since you started in order to get this bonus? I didn't.
You can definitely open kegs with multiple Premiums in them. That's really the only way to get Premiums in the first four cards which are Rare or better since the Premium 5 bonus seems to only ever upgrade the lowest rarity card in the keg.Also, I've had kegs where I've gotten two animated cards...maybe one from the cards you get to choose, probably.

The actual rarities are Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Bronze and Gold are more like classifications that often coincide with rarity. When I say that the lowest rarity card is upgraded, I mean that as long as there is a Common in the first four cards of a keg, then the upgraded card will always be a Common.I'm not sure if the game still uses terms like "silver" and "gold" for cards, which maybe aren't meaningful for people like me who only got into the game in the last year or so. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that I've gotten a few cards with at least a 6 provision cost, maybe some even in the double digits. Recently I got one of those things you get when you start the round, I think, and they're the highest provision cost, right?
To counter that, I opened up around 20 Skellige kegs this morning and obtained no Legendaries and only a single Epic. I do wish there was ultimately more consistency within smaller sample sizes.Today, from opening seven SY kegs, I got Passiflora premium version, Cleaver, Novigradian Justice and Salamandra Hideout. I remember times where I would open like fifty or so and didn't get anything. Pretty sure it's just random.
True, but Gwent is far more generous than any other similar game I know, it's very easy to obtain all cards if you are patientTo counter that, I opened up around 20 Skellige kegs this morning and obtained no Legendaries and only a single Epic.

I'm pretty sure I got a card which is of the kind that only appears when you start the first round and isn't in your deck, e.g. ones which say something like "Give a unit veil and boost it by 4". That's not a common card. I've got a couple of animated ones of that type and I'd be surprised if I used shards to get one, let alone two.The actual rarities are Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary.
