You can have a deck full of specials now .. Maybe add a unit or two just to have some presence on the board
...or trap card in Yugioh. I understand what you said, but don't treat like Hearthstone is the only one card game out there.

Yeap, it is not, but yet, is is the biggest and the most popular one at the moment. And many games try to copy solutions from HS (not because those solutions are invented by HS devs, only because are popularized by HS).
Personally I am not a fan of copying so many solutions from HS. Maybe one or two, but if there are more of them, then it will not be healthy for Gwents uniqueness.

You're right and I try not to. I knew about Yugioh, but since there isn't a popular digital version the comparison didn't seem as prescient. Both are just different takes on instants in MTG -- I wish we could see something more innovative on the Gwent side, instead of a similar take. There are other ways to interact on an opponents turn (or we could just not interact on their turn and the world won't collapse).
We'll see how they play out. Maybe they won't be prevalent.

Thanks for both of you .. Can you please tell us what dwarven adventurer does ? Or was that Denis Cranmer ?
It's the only new card whose ability's unknown

"Remove strength...", "Add strength...", "Remove strength..." everywhere. Half of the heroes now have this as a special, "unique" ability. I would love to see more really interesting abilities in game like Hjalmar, Caranthir, Ciri, Dijkstra, or Milva, because now this new mechanic really starts looking like Hearthstone's "minions fight", where whole game is about dealing damage with your minions
Nice video, thanks. I see Commander's Horn still works in new way, not as a glyph. And that is why I do not understand why this is still in game. I am missing something, or it is useless area now?

Some while ago I started thread:
http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/131820-DOES-CDP-RED-transform-GWENT-into-next-copy-of-HS-!
Pity that with time there are more and more reasons to add next points
I think it is a bug or problem of early version (maybe they do not know yet how it should work and they test various solutions). Also weather cards do not put glyphs, when they definately should. I see there are many things to improve/correct when we will get access to beta and be able to influence on the shape of the Gwent.

At least they're not raw stat without ability. I'm sure there are lot more hero with unique abilities, we just don't see it yet.
i think 10 strength with 5 damage is better then flat 15. But we are seeing a lot of these cards. I hope they tone it down a bit.
Yeah, I was talking about this new buff/debuff mechanic here, because I think players do not really understand how big impact to the gameplay these changes had. I think a lot of opportunities have been cut out from the game along with the glyphs.
It seems they are trying out how they want those cards to work. It does add some new tactical possiblities it seems like, I am not sure how to think about them though. I don't really think weather glyphs are necessary, we can already see the weather effects on the row itself. And if for instance Commander's Horn is left the way it is now, there indeed is no real need for those glyph slots. I think their removal would make the screen less busy and direct the attention more to the battlefield itself instead of away from it. (I guess that should be discussed in another thread)
I guess we shall see how it will all pan out when we get some more information and time in the beta itself.
Wow nice! Here's my feedback regarding the artwork so listen up CDPR cause I have an eye for beauty : )
Scoiatael:
- Francesca: As I have already mentioned, her artwork seems very out of character to me. The moment she's depicted in as well as the spectral snakes are very nonsensical and random unless there is a reason for them and it's going to be explained in the Scoiatael campaign.
- Saskia: Please tell me there is going to be an artwork of her in her human form as well!
- Ida: OMG love this one! Wish she looked like this in-game as well : )
Monsters:
I like all the artwork except for the drowner. It all kind of blends in and you have hard time working out the creature's anatomy from that shot.
Skellige:
Crach- I've already mentioned somewhere that his artowkr could use some colder colors to make it stand out more hen it's side by side with Foltest.
Other than that I love all other Skellige artwork : ) I just wish we could see Hjalmar's face. His card may as well be the Ice Giant's card.
Norhtern Realms:
- Radovid: Okay CDRP, LET ME STOP YOU RIGHT THERE. What the hell is this supposed to be depicting? I think that the intention here was to show the moment when Radovid was torturing Philippa by removing her eyes. HOWEVER, those of us who were there when this was taking place know that it looked NOTHING like this.
- Philippa was wearing different clothes or at least the clothes she has now + sleeves.
- Radovid was wearing gold armor.
- Her eyes were removed with a spoon.
I know the lore is now ruined beyond repair but can we please stop this? I'd appreciate a new Radovid card with maybe him playing the chess rather than this either inaccurate depiction of what happened in Loc Muinne or a fan fiction what it would look like if he captured her again.
Shani - As I've said the current artwork doesn't do her justice. Too much sewers too little Shani in it.
Other than that I love all the NR artwork : )
