And those changes will break balance of some Leshii decks (and who knows what else) while need just to fix only one type. Boosting immune cards in hand is not real glitch, cause by game mechanics as target counts only cards that laying on table, not in deck or graveyard, as i understand. And as i can guess it was planned so, to make different mechanics, not just another buff.
Just change immune to be something like "Tough skin"
Targeting a card on hand MANUALLY also goes against the immune function of not being able to target a CARD manually. Boosting a card on hand, unless passively, is manual targeting, the card is immune on hand too, not only on the board.
I thought the same thing actually, but then I considered it once more. I'm not sure tbh. But, I thought purify was something related to poison and that it did not make sense to "purify" a lock. Perhaps it makes sense to purify a bleeding unit. But then I looked up all "purify" units in the game, and there are not many. So it's not really a big problem.
My ‘no unit’ or ‘special card’ or ‘arifact card’ or call it whatever deck runs 8 spells only. It actually runs 9 units but it’s aim is to play a long R3 with idelly commiting a single unit to the board. So you would need a rule that says no more than 4 spels AND 4 arifacts or go even harder to say no more than 4 spells OR artifacts. Which restricts the game a lot. Not sure everybody would like that.
This problem is made even worse in that the card collection aspect of the game is ruined by too many scraps and cards costing too few scraps. Pretty much anyone can easily get the cards they need, which renders the whole card collection aspect of the game dead. Sadly.
There's very little balance in anything in Gwent. Card Kegs cost money but are frequently garbage, because they've introduced so much poor bronze filler the odds of getting those few Gold cards that make a difference is incredibly slim. So you've got to grind and grind ore to keep buying them with Ore, then you've got to make difficult mill decisions to get the cards you do want. If you make a bad mill decision or spend unwisely on the rewards tree, you're in a lot of difficulty. A new player is clearly going to reference the internet because of these decisions, which is why you end up with basically a pocketful of decks being played over and over again, even now at low levels.
Sorry - to bring it back a touch, even at low levels I am seeing a lot of decks using low amounts of units. I guess the question for CDPR would be "is this working as intended"? Have they given any answers on the state of Gwent in relation to special decks?
An easy fix for this to keep the decks being able to be played post nerf would be to allow Vivienne: Oriole able to target any artifact not just enemy ones. Then once you've used all the charges on an artifact you play her and eat the artifact getting a pretty big card on the board.
I've personally found Pellar very useful. Though you are right purify is not that widespread yet but already on the few units it's on it's pretty powerful.
Because one strategy in special card decks is to use woodland spirit and boost an immune card on hand, the play that 12 point card, while your opponent likely has no card or only 1 card on the board. If that is the case, the opponent (you) need to come up with one huge card, or destroy that 12 point card somehow. Since you cannot target it due to immune, you cannot use Geralt oR or Leo. You can use Yrden if lucky and you predict the move.
Exactly it causes me to stop playing Gwent and wait until it get fixed
Since HC 1.0 all artifacts got nerfed either in value or provisions.
It would be nice if artifacts are tied to your deck in return of a penalty on your total provisions to spend on 25 cards.
