"Argh, Nilfgaard's stopping me from what I wanna do!" Some sentiments just never change no matter how long you play, do they

[@Raumplestomp]

If you can't beat them, join them

I give the beginners in our group other tips. You have to do it with calculation and get to know the best decks as quickly as possible, thanks to the meta reports and build a solid T2 or T1 deck. Associated with this is a list of the most important or best cards per faction and those of the best neutral cards. You get every question answered, the rule of the 5, when you should pass or push and how you can get to your destination faster thanks to journey... Also which cards you can turn to scraps at the beginning and so on... In the group, we also make sure to recommend rather solid decks that have delivered well over months and could also be good next season, because nerfs often hit beginners harder. In two or three months they will be ready for the pro rank and their library contains the most important cards for each faction.

[@no_droptb8369]

Whata the group?

[@ikerreromartinez1340]

At the moment, I think LoR has even a more f2p-friendly system, but getting cards is Gwent looks easy and not boring.

[@egilz]

Tips from me: Play Draft Mode, it helps you memorize the card function, and make you more familiar with this game

[@propixelpower]

What's draft mode?

[@darkwing_don2391]

I've never dedicated tons of time to Gwent, so it took me a little longer to build out my card collection. While I started with Scoia'tael, Playing Assimilate decks in Nilfgaard was honestly what kept me going while I worked on the other factions. It added so much variety to what I was playing. While I don't know if I'd say Nilfgaard should be every player's starting faction, it merits consideration for one of your first two regardless of your play style.

[@barryliu3473]

ayooo this is exactly me lmao

[@deimosok2003]

Please help. I fucked up. I sold everything and barely got the amount of scraps I wished for. Now I am stuck with 0 keys 500 scraps and no decks. I only own the starter ones and I am not a beginner Ive already completed a couple trees. Wtf do I do now?

[@ruivru1939]

@@deimosok2003 either play some more or make a new account, based on what you said you basically have nothing on your current, just make a new one and not make the same mistake

[@Radioactivepaladin0703]

I just started playing and assimilate is extremely fun with the cards that allow you to play opponent's cards. It gives the opponents their own medicine and boosts ur assimilate troops at the same time.

[@francocamejo6983]

amazing video, i was looking something like this in days, nice job man

[@lukatamadze]

I got Thronebreaker for 4$ on sale, so much fun🤭

[@alishafaghi4487]

After 3 months of playing gwent Im a pro rank with prestige 2 now, but my recommendation to those who are NEW and want to have an easy time climbing to ranks 10 bellow is: Start with NILFGARD. It might sound braindead or toxic but we cant deny the fact that people at the start just dont know how to counter it. So play NILFGARD and countinue playing different decks and try to unlock most of NG cards until you get the general idea of the other factions and then you can flex on them

[@anastaziaqtt]

Exactly

[@user-ge2ez2cj1w]

Dude all it does is counterplay lol

[@nekilik3374]

I think monster is better for new player. Easy to play and understand

[@tetsuoshima9511]

NG my first Faction in Open Beta. If you can play NG you can play every other faction. Your Goal is allways to play your opponent Cards with more benefit for you self.

[@darkwing_don2391]

@@user-ge2ez2cj1w Playing Assimilate was how I learned other factions early on. It added a lot of variety to the game for me as well while I built up my card collections for other factions.

[@ty_the_menace385]

Amazing video as always 👍🏾

[@Raumplestomp]

Thanks for the great video. It's very helpful to know the basics from more experienced players. I'm just starting out, but this game looks very promising.

[@PlainTalkGaming]

Welcome to Gwent :) I think you'll find this game to be wonderful! It's unlike any other card game and is both addictive and generous.

[@Nobody00061]

Good video, I love Gwent because it is a very F2p friendly game. Other card games force you to put money in order to be competitive and you get little rewards by playing.

[@Raumplestomp]

Yup!

[@gusmaiawork]

like Hearth-Pay2Win-Stone

[@mvizy6123]

Wish I'd had a video like this when I first started, awesome work man :)

[@PlainTalkGaming]

Thank you!

[@DinoMan_6]

Awesome Video!

[@YMARihab]

the journeys made earning reward points much easier. I only play once or twice a week . left gwent after crimson curse came back halfway during alzur journey , now my scoiatel is already done , ng and nr next.

[@freekgrootenboer7166]

Good tip: if you are going to buy stuff for real money in Gaent, make sure you login on your pc: don’t buy it on tour Apple device as it is 30% more expensive! (Dont know how it is for Android, etc)

GOAT Gwent tutorial

[@lukatamadze]

Jon I can't transmute some cards, alba armored cavalry for example, there is no option. I have resource focused milling settings chosen btw. Do you know how to fix this?

[@PlainTalkGaming]

Those are the cards that are given to you for free by CDPR. Change your viewing setting to view all cards then craft the premiums. It will cost both scraps and powder.

[@lukatamadze]

@@PlainTalkGaming Oookay, thanks

[@bentoaican]

What should i do after i have all common and rares of my favorite faction? Should i just keep buying the faction kegs in hope to get golds?

[@YMARihab]

yes, also you'll get scraps for duplicate cards and on reward trees , you can use those to craft your desired cards. if you want to copy a deck from gwent website when you click import deck it'll automatically craft the cards for you and create the deck in your game if have the scraps.

[@sovietwomble1063]

I REALLY!!! Needed this ❤️

[@PlainTalkGaming]

I'm glad to hear that :)

[@FinbarHarte]

when I buy kegs I keep getting the same cards over and over again I have like 6 of each card?

[@rickf6375]

Yeah, surplus cards will be turned to scraps once you enter the deckbuilder (depends on your settings). And scraps can be used to craft cards

[@TheThanatos34]

Just curious based on a statement in this video- do you think Gwent is better than Runeterra in terms of F2P? I play both quite a lot and have way more of my Runeterra collection done than Gwent. I love the excel link, really was looking for something like this. It does seem to be missing the Witcher trees and given that they give you a legendary for free, I wonder how that factors in. Thanks for the great video!

[@jaligoeshiking]

seeing you set your favorite card in "play" to vyper describes yourself pretty accurate, Jon, hahahaha.

[@PlainTalkGaming]

:)

[@paleman7611]

I have full collection and still watched whole video for the reason unknown

[@jakubhusi258]

Great video, appreciate the information. I gotta disagree with this being the most free to play friends CCG though. Don't get me wrong, this game definitely is one of the absolute best at it, but I think Legends of Runeterra is the most generous. It's the reason they are also sunsetting the PvP aspect, they gave away too many cards.

[@luqmanghazi3104]

That is why i love nielfgard assimlate, I can do thier badist shit in a less bader way but still piss them off with thier own game i am a begginer but still my early game baiscly just me studing what they use and on destroying them with it on round 3

[@Arken_games]

Don't pick monsters, although it's one of the most beginner friendly factions to play, almost all of its meta decks have been hotfixed nerfed or the classic archetype decks just dont provide as much value as compared to the other faction archetypes

[@sloppyslush9858]

100% true. I'd say scoiatael or skellige is the best bet for new players. ST has so many archetypes you'll never get bored with it while SK has had some of the best engines in the game for a while now.

[@cnfnbcn3227]

Sorry, but you're wrong, Legends of Runeterra is by far most generous and Gwent is not even close.
