Time for my contribution to the "No RNG in Gwent" slogan.
Playing Arena, I'm at a score of 7-2.
First game opponent plays a rather annoying Yen:Con
. I try to smack her with a dueling Shupe, but don't get the option, so I choose the strengthen to 25 one. Next play from oppo is Miruna
.
Having nothing reliable to slap her with, I play Aguara: True Form hoping for a good damage spell. No luck, so I go with Last Wish: no damage spell or unit from it, I pick Avallac'h: Sage, hoping to get something that deals damage from my opponent's deck. What does the Sage give me: Miruna
. Played her on the row next to Shupe, so after he got succed by oppo, he got succed right back. 1337 Skillz.
Second game, third round Avallac'h:Sage gets me Triss:Butt, not bad
. Opponent's turn is a 10 point Imlerith: Ultimate Badass
. With nothing to kill him, I turn to Shupe once again, looking for the 25 point big guy. I luck out and get the option, but Clever(?) cuts him down to 14 and he gets killed off by Imlerith. Time for a Hail Mary: Whispering Hillock shoots ... and scores a Mandrake
. Another awesome display of my Gwent prowess secures me the ninth victory.
As Tailbot once said, "Gwent is easy, just have skillz"
