Imagine going to the tavern for a drink and nice relaxing game of cards with your mediocre deck and the tavern keeper beats your ass with a perfect Nilfgaard deck.
I especially love the blacksmith in the castle of madman logos. You can ask him why he is so pissy and he'll tell you his son drowned a dishonorable death and he can't bury hem. And immediately after ask him for a game of gwent.
this is probably an easy diff, AI dont use these cards much on that difficulty. but in general you should amplify your cards after opponents turn to be sure AI will not scorch it
The opponent always had the strongest card on the field. Only after the ai passed, he played his 5 blue stripes matching the opponents 20 And then doubling it.
@@xCDF-pt8kj usually I must have 1 or 2 weather cards in my active deck. but need to play it right though. You can counter enemy's point that even triple more than yours. but I as said, need to play it right (e.g consider enemy "Clear the weather" card, or the King abilites).
@@xCDF-pt8kj hey if you're still struggling by now, I'd recommend going for a Northern Realms deck. Don't focus on anything specific until you get the hang of the game. For starters, since the Northern Realms passive ability is to draw an extra card when you win, just make sure you win the first round, so you get the card advantage in the next round. Never pass early, because the opponent will most definitely match you and beat you if you don't have a major advantage. Instead force them to play out as many cards as you can. Tricking them to pass early is also a nice way to secure a win. This way, you can be in a position to burn extra cards from the opponent, which will help you if you need to extend to a third round. Always make sure you have a decent total number to go into your final turn, especially when you're playing against a Nilfgaardian Empire deck, because those fuckers will win even if you draw, so reaching a point where you both have nothing to play means you lose. If you have combo cards that double each other's value try to save them to the end, but only if possible. In short, your priority with Northern Realms is to win the first round and mantain card advantage. That means never pass early on the first round, always have a trump card if you're forced to go for a third round and make sure you never burn out before the end of the match. Trust me, once you get the hang of it (if you haven't already), it becomes easy to the point where you only lose if you get really unlucky (it is a card game after all). Hope this helps.
Always either keep your highest cards under their highest cards (which means refraining from doubling units or horns until the end of the round) or have a single high value card as a sacrifice that protects multiple lower but still high cards. Always be mindful of multiple scorches though. I ALWAYS kept a couple scorch in my deck as the AI tends to double too early.
@@kingautumn569 well.. depends on what enemy card use.. If its a monster card.. They always summon same type and always the frontliner.. Make them get a big score.. Use frost to Disarm them..
Minh Vo his opponent mainly had scorch cards and because throughout the match his opponent had higher rated cards on his side, using scorch would be shooting himself in the foot
Definitely agree. In Fallout: New Vegas, Caravan was a pretty neat card game that unfortunately never really seemed to catch on. That one would probably be my second favorite though.
dude real gwent would be boring though, you'd just lay cards out and then count your total strength at the end, a gwent game could take up 8 fucking hours and 7 of those would be calculating, arguing over the rules, accusing each other of cheating and then a massive bar fight with everyone present. gwent would destroy more lives than the plague or wars or monsters for that matter. Ciri ain't the seed of destruction, gwent is.

@@diamondgamer9746 play northern realms or nolfguard. You want spies, healers, units that double their power when played together and dummies. You want to keep swapping spies out with dummies to play against your opponent and if you don’t have any dummies left you want to end the round with them so they go in your discard and you can bring them back with healers. For your final round you want to have a whole ton of cards like the blue stripes commando that double their power every time another is played. Hit them with a commander horn or dandilion and they become better than the most powerful hero card. Speaking of play heros and cards that don’t have synergistic properties first, try to get your opponent to waste a scorch or a dragon on cards that won’t hurt as much to lose. If your opponent plays a weather effect wait until the end of the round and use your commander ability to get rid of it. If you have a good round you should clear 200 easily. This is easier to do with an opponent with a good deck, since they’ll be sending spies and your spies back at you so you both can keep cycling them.

@@kkbaby30 So even on PS4 there's a cursor when playing gwent? or the guides showing keyboard (like [Q] to forfeit or [Escape] to cancel)? yeah I don't think so.
@@dantealighieri3307 Nah it's legit. It was patched out later, but early on you could get 5 blue stripes. I was lucky enough to finish that trophy for all the cards before the patch.
Think part of the strategy is making sure all the spies end up on your side for an even higher score, so he’s checking if his opponent has any spies in their discard pile
I think the setup is "easy" for gwent. My highscore was something like 215 and I also do not understand how you can have more than three blue stripes commanders. How can they be drawn with a spy card when they are already in your hand? Were there more than three of these cards in the game? Never got more than three of those and I certainly finished my gwent collection...
@@wingracer1614 I always keep one biting frost just in case i have a match with a monster deck, and i play the clear weather effect on Radovid (Or foltest was it i can't remember) and everything else is the useful stuff
I can't understand the point of you checking like milion times enemy discard pack... like you see what's happening and still you are checking it same as with your deck... like is it bad habit or you just don't remember?!
In Skillege theirs a store owner that just lost his son to the ocean and it's heart wrecking because they believe they won't feast in Valhalla because he didn't get a burial.... Witcher: how about a game of qwent? Store guy: *nuds 😭😭😭
x I see there's been a misunderstading. I guess a small update on my part is in order. That quest has absolutely nothing to do with Gwent whatsoever :D It's just that Gangs of Novigrad and Collect them all were the only two quests that I failed to complete and were a torn in my sight ever since... However, I used Google recently and decided to hunt down all possible Gwent players in the world to get the cards I'm missing. The key is to find the players that you haven't played against before (or haven't won against). In my case those were: One of the two players in Lindenvale in Velen where I got a Wyvern card. And the second one was a player in Claywich also in Velen. BUT.... First you have to free him from a cage in the Bandit's camp on an island north form Drudge and wait for him to return to Claywich. He sells one of the Crinfried Reavers and some lesser Nilfgardian cards like Putkaner and a few others. Hope this helps you guys witcher3map.com/v/#3/-48.05/-59.15

How to avoid scorching: Use weather card to weaken your own card and clear weather card to remove the weather effect. If you don't want to use much weather card, you can rely the enemy to use their weather card so you have to make them use it. And if you don't want to have a clear weather card in your deck, you can use the foltest card in northern realm deck that has the ability to use a clear weather card. As you know, scorch card target the biggest number on the arena. So if you planned to have a 5 blue stripes commando for example, use the frost card to weakens it but make sure the enemy has a bigger number card on the arena compared to 5 of blue stripes commando in frost condition, which is 5 CMIIW. So all you need to do: - Weaken the lane you want to put combo card (forgot what it actual name) - Put the card on the weakened lane - Make sure enemy has a bigger number card to avoid scorching - Try to make your enemy passed - After the enemy passed, use the clear weather card. Additional tips: - Use a lot of spies - Have a Yennefer card in your deck - Have some resurrecting ability card in your deck to resurrect the spies - Have a lot of decoys
Thats 2 negative cards..instead of just having less cards its a complete waste lmao so many heros and spies/revives in nr its a waste to bring a frost and clear skies lmao
Likely a lot of cheating going on. You can't have more than 3 Blue Stripes. At least not since B&W was released. Player has HoS installed (otherwise no Olgierd card), but can't have patched the game since. Which is unbelievable to say the least since the video was posted years after B&W was released.
I dont understand how u lose all the time i play on death march and win almost all games with base deck just added some decoys and horns....can buy them really early. If i lose its against monster and have no snow card
The standalone gwent is too confusing but this Gwent has very exploitable ai, one time it had an opportunity to medic villentretenmerth about 100 points off my board and it mediced a spy instead, it always favours spy cards
The AI had 2 scorch cards but couldnt play them as his hand had the highest cards on view - player carefully played his hand not to exceed 20 points on any single card - AI runs out of cards and has to stop - player then free to add horns -easy
Ahh, the good old times when horn doubled the points, you could use CA spies for days and weather set all units to 1 :D Kinda miss those times in Standalone Gwent but at the same time it was way too unbalanced so its probably better its gone there^^

After the last and final update, this is no longer possible, there are only 3 blue strip cards and only 3 dragon hunter cards. Obviously to make it fair but still ....
@Rebecca Martinez so at every inn, you will be able to buy some "mob cards" (the random shit cards, some good ofc). And as the story progress there will be oponents you can fight for their cards, just remember to check for card quests, so you dont progress to far into the story, so u cant do the quest anymore. And there ofc alot of other random ppl you can fight, but you kinda need to find em :)
I always played monster decks with plenty of hero cards and the gaunter o dimm cards so I could swarm the field regardless of how many cards I had in my hand so I honestly never found any use for the decoy card but god damn man this is some top tier stuff
correct me if im wrong but is it not bad to drop high damage spy cards on the enemy side? dropping a 7damage card on the enemy side and then have it doubled to 14 seems not worth it..
+HinFoo +Lennart Wilder You two are only thinking surface level. The move was actually extremely useful. He knew he would win if he could get his deck in full force, so using the high point spies helps prevent the AI from using the cold melee unit debuff (as they're less likely to use it with a strong melee force) as well as blocking any scorches to his high point units for a bit when it was doubled to 14, as scorch destroys the highest point card/s on either/both sides.
There's a lot of strategy involved. Eventually you start to learn how the ai thinks so you end up playing each card with a lot of contingencies in mind. Ultimately, card advantage is the name of the game. Whatever plays will get more cards in your hand than your opponent will usually get you the win, too.
I’ve been playing the Witcher 3 for years. Got it bc of the first trailer with a certain red head 😉 and have turned multiple people into fans (and one fanatic) about this game. But have never learned Gwent 😬 one day!!

Why do you keep checking opponents discarded cards?
And yours, how many times do you need to check the mysterious elf
ikr like why tf is he checking it that much
its a habit you can develop by playing to much nilfgard when playing Gwent
Think part of the strategy is making sure all the spies end up on your side for an even higher score, so he’s checking if his opponent has any spies in their discard pile
Almost made me stop watching all the fucking checking.

You knew this was going to be a tasty morsel when he drew 4 spy cards...
I know his deck by heart now.
In all these high scoring gwent games surprisingly no weather or scorch cards ever make an appearance.
I think the setup is "easy" for gwent. My highscore was something like 215 and I also do not understand how you can have more than three blue stripes commanders. How can they be drawn with a spy card when they are already in your hand? Were there more than three of these cards in the game? Never got more than three of those and I certainly finished my gwent collection...

Gwent is such an easy game. its not bad in the beginning, but later with the stronger cards you just cant lose
A bad draw at the beginning of a game can still mess you up though.

I can't understand the point of you checking like milion times enemy discard pack... like you see what's happening and still you are checking it same as with your deck... like is it bad habit or you just don't remember?!
I thought that, but then I realised he's learning them so he knows what they redraw when they play a spy.

how do you have 5 blue stripe commandos? i thought there were only 4
I'm starting a NG+ just to get all the cards I missed and not fail "Gangs of Novigrad"
+Mihailo Pisanjuk thanks
lol i thought there were only three
+Mihailo Pisanjuk
Wait wait wait, what does gangs of novigrad has to do with gwent cards? And the blue stripes commander isn't related to that mission
x I see there's been a misunderstading. I guess a small update on my part is in order.
That quest has absolutely nothing to do with Gwent whatsoever :D It's just that Gangs of Novigrad and Collect them all were the only two quests that I failed to complete and were a torn in my sight ever since...
However, I used Google recently and decided to hunt down all possible Gwent players in the world to get the cards I'm missing. The key is to find the players that you haven't played against before (or haven't won against).
In my case those were: One of the two players in Lindenvale in Velen where I got a Wyvern card. And the second one was a player in Claywich also in Velen. BUT.... First you have to free him from a cage in the Bandit's camp on an island north form Drudge and wait for him to return to Claywich. He sells one of the Crinfried Reavers and some lesser Nilfgardian cards like Putkaner and a few others.
Hope this helps you guys witcher3map.com/v/#3/-48.05/-59.15
I don’t understand why you revived the stronger spy when you can give your opponent a weaker spy and still draw the same amount of cards...
Perhaps he believes his opponent will revive the spies from discard deck in the third round, so he will benefit from the spies with higher scores
thinking the same
@@kentignal6891 Smart thinking.
T Zhang also why double the rows that had fewer points? Couldn’t he have got a higher score putting commanders horn on the row with most points?

Was ein Müll.
Wow, I've actually learned something from all those German classes
you always know it’s gonna be a good match when you redraw a spy card
How to avoid scorching:
Use weather card to weaken your own card and clear weather card to remove the weather effect. If you don't want to use much weather card, you can rely the enemy to use their weather card so you have to make them use it. And if you don't want to have a clear weather card in your deck, you can use the foltest card in northern realm deck that has the ability to use a clear weather card.
As you know, scorch card target the biggest number on the arena. So if you planned to have a 5 blue stripes commando for example, use the frost card to weakens it but make sure the enemy has a bigger number card on the arena compared to 5 of blue stripes commando in frost condition, which is 5 CMIIW.
So all you need to do:
- Weaken the lane you want to put combo card (forgot what it actual name)
- Put the card on the weakened lane
- Make sure enemy has a bigger number card to avoid scorching
- Try to make your enemy passed
- After the enemy passed, use the clear weather card.
Additional tips:
- Use a lot of spies
- Have a Yennefer card in your deck
- Have some resurrecting ability card in your deck to resurrect the spies
- Have a lot of decoys

Touch grass
@@mauriciov2450 I just did 🤣
Thats 2 negative cards..instead of just having less cards its a complete waste lmao so many heros and spies/revives in nr its a waste to bring a frost and clear skies lmao
I am currently on an 11 game win streak in Gwent. I thought I was good at this game until I watched this video :(
I know its late but he has a cheated deck
Likely a lot of cheating going on. You can't have more than 3 Blue Stripes. At least not since B&W was released. Player has HoS installed (otherwise no Olgierd card), but can't have patched the game since. Which is unbelievable to say the least since the video was posted years after B&W was released.
I know without even watching it: Spies.
In the 500+ hours of playing The Witcher I have never won a single match of Gwent
Same
In 300 hours only played three times besides Story Missions and won 0
You gotta find the ai with shitty early-game decks before challenging any of the better vendors
The fact that i kept losing made me want to play it more
I spent one whole day learning how to play it now i got like 10+ hero cards
I dont understand how u lose all the time i play on death march and win almost all games with base deck just added some decoys and horns....can buy them really early. If i lose its against monster and have no snow card
The standalone gwent is too confusing but this Gwent has very exploitable ai, one time it had an opportunity to medic villentretenmerth about 100 points off my board and it mediced a spy instead, it always favours spy cards
Honestly i would've done the same too. Spy cards are almost always more useful than any cards
How? How on earth do you put down so many cards without something getting scorched? I get scorched so often even my scorch cards get scorched.
Cause ai always had the highest card.
The AI had 2 scorch cards but couldnt play them as his hand had the highest cards on view - player carefully played his hand not to exceed 20 points on any single card - AI runs out of cards and has to stop - player then free to add horns -easy
Barron: “You’re not complete shite”
its 2021. im sitting here, about to eat my meal. im like "lets watch something nice one youtube while eating my meal" i watch this video. im happy.

5:00 as he looked at your cards he was probably like: HoLy ShI-!?!?
He didn't look at his cards, he stole a card from Geralts graveyard (which was the 9 power spy)
Ahh, the good old times when horn doubled the points, you could use CA spies for days and weather set all units to 1 :D
Kinda miss those times in Standalone Gwent but at the same time it was way too unbalanced so its probably better its gone there^^
are these all cards from the base version? also which npc are you fighting? ty
Сейчас так не получится, потому что во-первых, изменили алгоритм игры неписей, во-вторых, изменены лимиты колоды игрока, в частности Синих полосок сейчас не может быть больше 3.
I like how cards have quotes of characters from previous games.
Merchant 100 loses later
Merchant: Best prices for the best items, check my stuff witcher.
Geralt: I would like to play gwent.
Merchant: Yes of course, why not.
After the last and final update, this is no longer possible, there are only 3 blue strip cards and only 3 dragon hunter cards. Obviously to make it fair but still ....
Is there something I missing. Do you get bonus points for checking the graveyard over and over and over again
He was probably checking if the graveyard has anymore spy cards because the opponent might have a 'reviving' card
I didn't even know you could check their graveyard. TMYK
Almost finished my fourth playthrough now, currently missing 3 damn cards, soon 100% the game, again! (all of the cards hiding in velen) haha
@Rebecca Martinez so at every inn, you will be able to buy some "mob cards" (the random shit cards, some good ofc). And as the story progress there will be oponents you can fight for their cards, just remember to check for card quests, so you dont progress to far into the story, so u cant do the quest anymore. And there ofc alot of other random ppl you can fight, but you kinda need to find em :)
Have you tried the Passiflora tournament? Don't lose there.
@@22gjreyes just make a quicksave is my tips to that, sometimes you get hella unlucky with zero spies..
@@22gjreyes yeah that was fairly hard but only lost to master, thankfully had a save and beat him after that
If you're missing cards but playing with merchants doesn't give you any then you have to buy them. Some are only accessible by buying
I always played monster decks with plenty of hero cards and the gaunter o dimm cards so I could swarm the field regardless of how many cards I had in my hand so I honestly never found any use for the decoy card but god damn man this is some top tier stuff
correct me if im wrong but is it not bad to drop high damage spy cards on the enemy side? dropping a 7damage card on the enemy side and then have it doubled to 14 seems not worth it..
HinFoo the enemy will then play the card and it will come back on his side
Yousef Hooman But he even does it in the last round, where it isnt useful to him at all xD
Lennart Wilder Who cares as long as he won.
+HinFoo +Lennart Wilder You two are only thinking surface level. The move was actually extremely useful. He knew he would win if he could get his deck in full force, so using the high point spies helps prevent the AI from using the cold melee unit debuff (as they're less likely to use it with a strong melee force) as well as blocking any scorches to his high point units for a bit when it was doubled to 14, as scorch destroys the highest point card/s on either/both sides.
There's a lot of strategy involved. Eventually you start to learn how the ai thinks so you end up playing each card with a lot of contingencies in mind. Ultimately, card advantage is the name of the game. Whatever plays will get more cards in your hand than your opponent will usually get you the win, too.
This was better than all the gwent missions in the game. They really hyped up 2 tournaments just for you to only play 1-2 rounds because of plot
I’ve been playing the Witcher 3 for years. Got it bc of the first trailer with a certain red head 😉 and have turned multiple people into fans (and one fanatic) about this game. But have never learned Gwent 😬 one day!!
Please give it a try, I avoided it in my first playthrough but forced myself to try it the second time and have not been able to put it down since. It is difficult at first but the more you keep playing the more you learn and becomes more and more fun, just try trust me it's the best!
