Hello, fellow GWENT players!
There are some cards in the game that cannot be transmuted, and questions about such cards pop up every once in a while. Usually in the form of bug reports.
This thread is meant to not only be informative but also reduce the number of such (Technical) threads.
In short, cards from starter sets and Thronebreaker cannot be transmuted. These cards can be identified by the crown and lion icons, respectively, in their full-size previews.

Thronebreaker cards are marked in the same way, except with a lion icon. Additionally, it is not possible to craft premium Thronebreaker cards either, as you can only acquire those premiums from Thronebreaker itself.
