I would love it!
You just need to quote to see it. But I just removed it and send you a PM.

so, if you were only to have 1 in a deck, would you choose dandelion, or horn?
dandelion can hypothetically get countered by ambushes?

I'd say horn. Can use it on any row. Strength of Dandelion is getting a second horn in a deck.
Although I suppose if you also have Priscilla, you could sometimes get a lucky Dandelion pull.

cant you put dandelion's horn on any row?

Dandelion gets placed on the melee row, but the horn he summons can be used on any row. Go for Dandelion instead of Horn because you can revive Dandelion and get multiple horns in a match.

Holy shit that is OP as fuck!
That sounds perfect for a Skellige+Freya deck

I'm ashamed of myself. Thought I'd spend a little bit of money on the game since I like CDPR much, bought 7 kegs. Opened 6 and thought, "This is what I get for spending money." and then on the 7th I got fucking Philippa Eilhart.
I'm gonna feel like such a scumbag using this thing lol

I will inflict my P2Winippa upon the world
Welcome to the club! I just ended up earning Geralt Igni, so yeah
Nice. Haven't regretted crafting that for a second. The strange thing is earlier today I was thinking of playing NR so I crafted Dandelion, Priscilla and Nenneke. Seems like this was fate (+ money)

Anyone's game crash when they open the keg?
It's happening 100% of the time and tried it three times.

After having some experience with the card, Philippa is really fun and balanced. I hope they don't nerf her

She would have wiped over 250 if I didn't have to use my Igni on the previous turn. The catapults kept killing his Dandelion and he always had ways to bring it back. He must have used commander's horn 4 or 5 times in a row.
Ordinarily a unit buffed to that bonkers an extent with adrenaline rush would scare the bejesus out of me but I didn't give a shit lmao. Dude was legit shook afterwards. Took him a full minute before he did anything. Funny part is he had Philippa too but I managed to have a bit of strength built up on my ranged row so it didn't amount to much. Funny ass game

Yeah Im running something similar. Love placing traps on all 3 rows and frustrating my opponents
Yup, tried few hours ago and couldn't get past the greetings screen. Doesn't seem to work now either.

Anyone enjoying it? The unresponsive UI plus having no useful cards whatsoever are not exactly making the game a lot of fun.
Yes there's plenty of people enjoying it. And it's only getting better.
Yeah it's pretty much want I wanted from stand alone Gwent. I dismantled all cards and just got what I wanted for a monster deck. I usually get a decent hand.

You've got to be kidding me. How are people getting all these good cards in freaking kegs and daily rewards. JEALOUS!!!
Congrats!

Got rekt by Baron twice just now. Seems really powerful if you demote him

Also works great against weather decks. Alternatively you can always mulligan for Scorch.

You need to play out the round and do what you can so they waste all their buffs. When you see adrenaline rush that's probably the best time to kill it since when they duplicate that gives the copy +1 strength and your scorch will only destroy one.

Weather, Dimeritium Bomb, Manticore Venom, Lacerate, Scorch, Geralt Igni, etc. This card will most likely be getting nerfed in some way.
I really hope we get some updates soon, they said they had tons of plans more modes and new features. Would also like stats and things like that.
Main thing I wanna know is if there will be a reset or not. I've got some really good cards and made some cool decks. Crafted Geralt Igni. Would suck to lose all the progress.
Though it seems they are slowly starting to post more news now.

Philippa could make all the cards in the row to have half value (instead of setting it to 1) and still be great, given she is one of the few cards that affect gold cards.

Ran into two very similar Scoiatael decks twice in a row that ran Merigold's Hailstorm What they did was set up in the middle row and played it out a bit then dropped the bomb used the unit that buffs the weakest unit on their side and destroys the weakest unit on my side, pretty much a wipe. After that game I figured I should probably keep my clear skies next time I face a Scoia deck. The next dude tried the same thing and I cleared the weather. Got down to my last card and he kept Aglais and played the weather card again and rekt me.
I think they might have fixed the MM because the games I've had today have been fairly close. I had around 80% winrate before.

Had a game against a rather unfortunate chap just now:
I'm playing a Crach an Craite deck (Warriors + Warcry goodness) where the plan is to pretty much throw round one (play a Cow or something then pass, maybe see if I can bait something out), then push hard to win round 2 and usually have the stronger hand in round 3.
So I go first, put a Beserker down and he plays, I pass and then he goes nuts and completely empties his hand, killing my guy and running up about 70 strength.
Obviously, I obliterate him over the next two rounds.
It seems like he had no idea how to play. Would have loved to see the look on his face when he only drew 2 cards for round 2.
On a more general note, I'm really liking the game. The emphasis on rows and the advantages you can gain from knowing your matchups make it feel a little bit like the old Vs System CCG.

After crashing opening keg a bunch of times, I realize there's no singleplayer yet.
Or am I just missing it?

Yes i like it very much, but i am maybe the best reference since i never played a card game online like this.
No it's very barebone right now. There are rumblings of a content update hitting this month.
