Just played the most retarded game that I've ever experienced in the history of Gwent, even worse than the artifact and froth spam.
Went up against Emhyr. He passes 4 cards into round 1 so we go into round 2 with 9 cards each. 2 cards later, it's tied 10-10 in Round 2. I do the easiest pass of my life since I get a 1 card advantage going into round 3 right? Wrong. He drops Isbel. Passes. Next turn he uses Isbel, gives me a useless card, Lethos it so he gets another Isbel, Emhyr's his original Isbel back, passes, then plays it again. He drops what he doesn't need after using his Isbels and goes into Round 3 with 7 cards to my 10. My Seltkirk, Botchling, and another gold get burned and there's nothing I can do about it. Needless to say I end up losing Round 3.
Why the hell did CDProjektRed remove the Truce tag [for newbies, the truce tag signifies that a card's ability can only be used when both opponents have not passed]? It's glaringly obvious in hindsight that card drawing cards would be abused in a manner like this; how the eff did this even get past the PTR?
EDIT:
STOP BUMPING THIS THREAD
CAN NONE OF YOU READ THAT IT WAS MADE IN 2018? YES, 2018 1 MONTH AFTER RELEASE WHEN CARDS THAT DID 4 POINTS OF DAMAGE WERE CONSIDERED GOD TIER AND AUTO-RUN IN EVERY DECK. Heck I'm pretty sure Witcher Trio and Artifacts weren't nerfed at that point either.
Not 2020 when half the leader abilities were changed and there are multiple 5-provision cards that do 5 damage on demand, or 4 provision lock and poison cards, and all artifacts besides Scenario cards are jokes.
This problem as well as this deck doesn't exist anymore since every faction has cheap removal, there have been multiple leader ability changes, and even if your deck doesn't have removal it is geared towards going ham and 2-0'ing easily.
I haven't played seriously for almost all of 2020 except for this last December season and I easily got to Pro and never once lost a to a mill deck. Mill is a joke now and is not even close to being threatening or even infuriating as it was back in 2018 or in open Beta. If CDPR decides to troll around and start buffing Mill again maybe I will make a new thread but until then MIll remains a joke.
