Why do people play as Monsters?
After countless games against Monster decks i just cannot fathom their appeal in any shape or form.
From an aesthetic perspective the cards look like garbage, literally the art on all monsters cards are terrible, monochrome colors, undetailed and simply unrefined, amateur drawings that look like they were specifically drawn up to look unappealing, no finese at all.
:look:
From a Lore perspective, come on, monsters are lame, mindless slaves of some equally lame and unspectacular leader, you spent a game and two expansions destroying these creatres as the stylish and extremely likeable Geralt, now Gwent comes along and these former withchers who all have Geralt as their PSN avatar turn tail and become full time monster players for ranked play.
From a gameplay perspective their painfully precitcable and boring, they don't really have any cool, smart tactics and they rack up points usually from weather spam. I mean, how many times can a person spawn harpy eggs and not feel the inherent ningling sensation that something in their life went terribly wrong for them to be in this position.
The cards themself have no pizazz or substance, harpies, nekkers, eggs, drowners, frost hounds. such ugly and souless cards with no character.
It's got to the point where Monsters are so ugly and unappealing they make me see the inherent style and pizazz of the rest of the factions, the ones that i once detested i now delight in.
Northern realms: A stalwart and resilent nation of proffesional soldiers that has resited all attempts at occupation. cool
Nilfgaard: A dark empire of domination with spies and occultists everywhere. cool
Scio'tel: A fractured band of dwarves and elves fighting a desperate gorilla war for their surivial. cool
Skellige: A intimidating armada of unrelenting warriors, ruthless pirates and viking attack ships. cool
Monsters: Monsters.
Are you catching my drift?
