Hearthstone Player Tries Gwent For the First Time 

I love gwent, I remember when it first came out there was a mini game called The Witcher 3 that launched with it.

opponent *plays boat on ranged row* rarran: don't worry I got you

2 min into a new game and hes already not reading cards. Lost it when you slammed down Geralt against the 8 power enemy. Haha. Love the video as always.

Gwent is so fun once u understand card advantage or at least read the cards. Also loved how u got scared of his ship but it was on the wrong row so u actually turned it on by moving it

Nothing says you are in the dark and gritty world of the Witcher like swear words in the first 3 mins of the game🤣

0:47 I thought you edited the text in for a second until you started reading it and I died.

OMG waited so long for you to try Gwent!!! Hope u will do some Gwent card guessing videos!

Just in case chat didn't clear this up already, but Speartip: Asleep was reworked like half a year ago, before he was just a vanilla with 9 (I think) power. It seems like they didn't go back and changed the starter decks to include Old Speartip as well. I am glad to see you tried out Gwent and sad that you didn't seem to like it, but enjoyed the video anyways :D

What I like about gwent is that decisions actually feel impactful.

this would be a really interesting game to try to get you to guess how good cards are. Somebody like shinmiri is an awesome ambassador/caster for gwent and would likely collab for it im sure

Hope you give gwent another try. Once you get the hang of it, its like playing chess with cool cards, outsmarting the other side, setting up and pulling off smart plays. You learn how to lose 1 battle(round), so you can win the war

The animated cards are the best in this game.

Speartip was once a 9 Point unit with Veil and no ability. They forgot,that they buffed the card and slept on the starter decks.

The starter decks are a bit out of date, the problem is that Old Speartip was changed not long ago, but they didn't change the starter deck to reflect his new ability. There are many things that don't make sense these days and for everything there is an explanation, about a problem from months or years ago. Anyway, it's fun to see a newbe playing it, wish i could unlearn everything aswell cause this is the most fun part of the game.

Yo, finally gwent. I hope you will stay here for a while. Easy f2p full collection with amazing animations. Check in collection, crafting, golden

this vid got me to try gwent ... now i have 197 hours and have hit rank 0 on my 130~ hour, it's really such a fun and unique card game

You should try all factions, maybe a 100 games challenge to prorank? Nice vid bro

This game was awesome and simple in The Witcher 3, when Gwent became a standalone game, I really enjoyed it for a while, I wanted to go back a couple of months ago and things kinda overwhelmed me but it's still a fun game

Gwent = best card game right now

6:20 when he moved that ship from ranged to melee I was "nooooo", as we, in Gwent, put so much effort to actually move it from melee to ranged (it works only in melee raw:)

I love those kind of videos so much. That card with the swear words at the beginning killed me

I'm playing Gwent with Hs since 2017 I presume, when they released the game open beta, I've started the game. The first thing you might notice about Gwent is, Hearthstone is way expensive then Gwent. I only paid the starter pack on each game for card collection and I have full Golden Set on Gwent. Also the thing which is good on Gwent is, it has RNG but not gamechanger like Hearthstone. Hs gets crazy and if you're lucky enough, you can win against your opponent. On Gwent, if you're not skilled enough, you can't win. RNG changes the game on same luck level. It's fun and freshing but Gwent doesn't have extra game modes. Especially like me, if you're playing too much, you might get bored.

One of the most beautiful thing about this card game is seeing blood,curse and Animated cards

Yeah, the White Frost starter is an old starter, still based on the previous version of Speartip I believe, so yeah it doesnt have the bigger version.. 😅 Btw Melee row is the front row and Ranged row the backrow.. also you never used Nithral's order ability, it can be used every turn, just so you know. Funny to see you struggle as a 'new' Gwent player.. at higher ranks its a struggle to climb, ropers and salty people are unfortunately many as wel.. though if you are interested there are many helpfull and kind players and streamers out there as wel. Hope you have fun if you do decide to give Gwent some more time.. its a very ftp friendly game resource wise if compared to games like HS.. ✌️

Gwent! Gwent? Gwent.... Wouldn't mind a round of cards

Video title "Hearthstone player tries Gwent for the first time". First words out of his mouth "I've played Gwent before"

Hey man I've been watching a whole lot of your content recently and basically Gwent is sick plz play more

Awkward time to play NG got a buff recently like a week or so ago and its a bit much with some complaints on reddit about the buff being too big - the game is amazing outside of that, ques arent long either, sometimes faster than HS too

I played this game back in it's launch and it changed a lot by the looks of things. It used to have 3 rows in the beta, i guess. I'll download to see how bad things got powercrept..

I'm surprised that your first opponent was playing cards on the wrong row. The game shows you hints if you use card on the wrong row and he still ignored that.

I’ve been looking forward to this.

Gwent is life. Yeh the speartip not being included in the starter deck is a big f.

Next time take somebody to explain the game and you gonna love it

I love gwent music... and that reminds me i have to end my platinum in witcher 3 and I miss only gwent missions

I personally run a vampire and bleed deck. I just have lots of fun with it

Finally, the true sigma Card game

LOL THIS GAME HAS IMPROVED. there used to be 3 zones instead of 2 per person in the W3

I remember trying gwent years ago. I played this broken deck had these 3 strength dudes that made all others the same number as him 1 strength more and these beast tamer dudes for the late game. After almost 2 weeks of playing I got top 200 in leaderboards!

I really like Gwent but I barely play it reguarly, either very excessively for an amount of time or weeks to months without a single game. I feel like the base rules are what make it unique but also why I have this difficult relationship with it and why it has so few players. It lacks the interaction of MTG or LoR since you can only play on your turn, most control decks are defined by having cards that interact with the opponents board but you dont have a stack like in the other mentioned games. In comparison to HS it feels really restrictive to only play one card a turn, you could never have a concept like miracle rogue or other combo decks in the game. So in the end it is a war of bait and attrition, you play as much cards as you need to get an advantage in ressources to take over the game. That makes it weirdly similar to games like bridge where you have to get tricks, handreading and the order of how you play your cards become the most important skills you need to learn. Imho, the base mechanics of the game are the culprit of most unhealthy metagames that the game has seen. In other games, most overpowered decks were due to the powerlevel of the deck while Gwent doesnt allow you to outmaneuver strong decks like other card games can. You are too limited in how you can approach bad matchups or stronger decks because you can only play one card a turn. Draws also dictate the game too much. You usually have at least one wincon per round that you need to win (so at least 2). Since you cant draw your entire deck unless you thin it (like discard Skellige or Nilfgaard), if you dont draw your wincon for the specific rounds you can only hope that you either 1. have bled the opponent out of ressources beforehand (aka playing the game right), 2. he already missplayed by playing his wincon in a lost round or 3. he doesnt draw it himself. So games can be decided by bad draws more than any other cardgame (that I have experience in) because ressources are so limited. That being said CDPR has done some really cool stuff with the game that I admire them for. They have real graveyard interactions unlike HS or LoR and I really miss them in those games. The patches are really good, they tend to rework underperforming archetypes every month so the cardpool isnt as artificially limited as in other games. It's really cool to see unplayable cards being either reworked to they can actually work with their respective archetype or form an entire new archetype from old unwanted cards like they did with Nilfgaard this patch or with the grace mechanic this expansion. The game rewards you for playing it (in form of unlockables) and you have enough incentive to play it if you are reliant on external factors like quests and so on. So if anyone actually took the time to read all this junk to see a justification to try it out, just do it. My biggest problem with the game stems from the basics so if you dont see a problem or even find it intriguing you will have your fun. Basically everything on top of the basics is done really well and CDPR puts a lot of work into it.

I haven't played gwent in a long time. When i first played it was almost identical to the witcher 3. I liked playing skellliga because they had a bonus that made their cards stronger in rounds 2 and 3. They also had a bunch of discard, resurrection, and cards that boosted damaged units. round 1 you just played cards that discarded cards from your deck this got your units ready for round 2 and 3 while your opponent waist cards on a round you were planning on losing anyway. round 2 and three you play all your resurrection cards to pull your now much stronger cards from the grave. Nilfgaurd has a lot of spies. Spies are cards you play on your opponents side (often giving them points) for a really strong benefit such as drawing extra cards. Simular to skelliga Nilfgaurd will throw round one for a stronger round 2 and 3. monsters (except wild hunt) are all about spamming large amounts of week units. Wild hunt has a heavy focus on using frost to buff your units and damage the enemy. Northern kingdoms have a lot of cards that get buffed by other cards. The PFI originally had it's strength doubled for every PFI in it's row and Dandelion doubled the strength of all units in his row. If you had 4 PF and dandelion then each PFI had 16 strength giving you 64 points off of just 5 cards. The blue stripes commando had the same effect but had 4 base strength. Scoatel had cards that could make a card stay on the field after the end of the round and had a lot of cards to buff their units. They pretty much auto won or lost whether or not their opponent had enough hard removal to destroy their big units.

*never played Gwent or seen it* “Sees POOR FUCKING INFANTRY”

Love gwent, been playing since Open Beta. Definitely preferred it then but in its current state its still one of the best. Tonnes of resources for free to play players as well. The reward book is a fantastic addition to the game. I wish Hearthstone didnt demand so much of my time so I could play both regularly.

I love these videos where u try other card games. Makes me want to try them too and it's fun

the last time i played this i think im using monster faction where i can just put eradin pass and usually i got card advantage cause monster had passive to put 1 random card on the field on stay i think so eradin stay which is 1 card advantage with 15 power i think

I love taht they aninate each card. Thats sick

I used to play a ton of Gwent. There's been like 5 expansions since then though.

let me expain the Old Speartip: Asleep. For a long time, this card is a 6 provision card with 9 power, 9 power is a cheap but strong card in starter deck. But someday this card changed to cooperate with Old Speartip，but CDPR didn't fix their starter deck, that is truly a lazy mistake.

I'd love to see you stick to this game. The more you learn about the game the more interesting the videos will get

It sucks when your videos exploring other games aren't performing as well. May the algo show you mercy.

you weren't getting roped. the person was new and reading just like you were new, its why they kept misplaying so badly, they were reading and not quite keeping up because it was likely one of their first games.

The dude that roped waiting for you to pass was simply the most toxic thing I say in a card game ever, how is this allowed

dang i was hoping you could rekindle my attempting to get into this game. guess we had very similar experiences

Will you be coming back? It's a great game, monthly patches keep it fresh - you do need to read the cards though!

God I spent hours just playing Gwent in The Witcher 3😅

This should be fun 5yr old hearthstone stan tries gwent

Watching your no text stream, deleting game files from the computer fkin hilarious

Wondering what he did with that banana

Kurtis Connor shirt!

You are right, old aoe setup asleep should not be in the starter deck. It’s a shame that it is and is. A massive trap. It used to be a completely different card though. It used to have 9base power, no armor, and the veil status effect, which prevents the card from gaining other status effects like bleeding. It was still bad but wasn’t dogshit, which is why it was included in the deck.

0:28 Hemet actually good? Pog

Alright Zach-YEP-Clocks

Finally a game witch I now something about:)

Wonder what card game is next

ah gwent, 1000 hours in this amazing game yet i hate playing it these days, still will come back from time to time i guess..

So as a Gwent player myself (and a pretty good one I'd say) who quit and returned two times now, I have to say that it really pains me that you had a bad time with the game and worst of all is that I can easily understand why. Gwent in my opinion has enourmous potential but every player and dev of cdpr should take a good look at your video as it shows some painfully brutal problems with the game, the first just being how terrible the tutorial is. And as Game is entirely dependant on netdecking, just throwing players in without explanation what the plan of their deck is, is about the worst thing you can do. You played many cards incorrectly and while yes you are not the biggest fan o reading card descriptions the game didn't do you any favors and that is on us. Also it showed a big problem regarding the community which definetly is in need of getting a little boost by a known streamer such as you... this sadly wasn't it. We really should look into games such as yu-gi-oh and MTGT for better tutorials and how to explain mechanics/factions in a more comprehensible way to tackle the biggest issue our community has next to a lack of tournaments and esport recognition, a semi active playerbase without any new blood in form of beginning players and watching your video made it painfully clear why this was the case. It is painful as the game is the easiest to get into if you understand the mechanics because of it's low entry fee (unlike heartstone you can get every single card and deck without paying) and has a lot to offer such as the darker thematic and unique playstyle even though the latter one comes with issues itself. I hope you one day will give gwent another shot and will come to enjoy it after working yourself into the basic mechanics.

Gwent is a fun game but... 1) Power Creep Incarnate - maybe less than Yu-Gi-Oh, but still a lot of power creep. 2) Base decks suck, and to maintain a deck you have to get all new expansion cards - where the power creep comes in check. As a result if you stop playing for a bit and come back - your decks will be basically useless, and you won't be able to win much...

We lost lifecoach to this game :( and almost superjj aswell

Rarran have you heard it’s your fault that runestones failed? Crazy stuff man how could you do it

I wait for more

Oy this game is best. Check the animations on card that's different level

daj czadu w Gwincie :)

NPC: Gerald help, they are burning our village! Gerald: How about a round of gwent ?

I mean he didnt use Nithriel once, right?

gwent>heartstone and those are straight facts

Let's Go!

NICE!

Just as the new cyberpunk show came out

Yo I love your vids but always give the gg sadness

What the hell kind of card game is this lol what. No draw phase, attack phase, this is weird lol. Also "Poor fucking infantry" lmaoooooooo

Getting roped is the worst in any card game, I hate those people

How was ur day?

They should be paying you to make these videos

I have very little experience with the Witcher 3, but this barely resembles Gwent in that game. I remember 3 lanes and 0 card draw.

That was great

It's so much funny to see you trying out all card game to realise that Hearthstone is fine actualy x)

Rarran should play caravan from fnv

Alright how to you play this 😂 this looks the least fun of all the cars games

hey i installed hartstone and i really like it thanks♥️

gwent is best girl

Finally

is gwent more f2p friendly nowadays?

Hello . Can you make a video of our game please ?

I don't usually get mad about games changing or dying, I enjoyed my time move on find new fun things, but Gwent makes me really upset. They had a fantastic game and just kept changing things for no reason over and over and over again. The game needed slight adjustments with a sewing needle and instead they took a sledgehammer to it 50 fucking times, and now, I can never play the game that I loved playing because this new piece of garbage game replaced it.

Any fellow nilfguard gamers

I Prefer you marvel duel. You can Play it in emulator.or Mobile Phone. Pretty cool, in my ooiniin better than gwent

That was such a bad first impression

Play gwent

I was hopping not all hearthstone players mentally chalenged.

I loved old gwent then they changed the game from 3 lanes to two and didnt compensate me for all the time i put in and I quit lol

Man i really miss Gwent, it had so much potential! Also it is without a doubt the game with the best card art and a really friendly module for f2p players! The problem is that with the homecoming update, it became very oversimplified und uninteractive, and after a while (propably a month) it gets really repetitive, and that comes from a guy who has almost 500 hours in Gwent and hasnt logged in in over 2 years!
