Today I've played a few hours of gwent with the best decks (I'm rank 6 atm).
80% of the games were decided by having last say, I would've won 50% more games if I had last say.
Your hand in R1 and the mulligan update play a big part in this, unfortunatly.
If you start with a bad hand and can't win R1 it's basically game over.
All the decks I've played against thinned very well (witchers/roach/tutors).
With the extra mulligans the chance to get exactly the cards you want voor R3 feels unhealthy gameplay wise.
Before the update you had to manage your mulligans and you didn't always get what you want.
That alone made matches more interesting and tactical as they are right now.
