Witcher 3 - A Guide to Gwent (Or how to get more spies)

  • SPIES. SPIES SPIES SPIES SPIES SPIES.
    End of guide.
    But really, spies are so powerful I feel like I may not have emphasized this enough. If your deck doesn't have spies and your opponent does you're basically throwing all your healers and decoys on getting their spies and playing it back to them.
    I hope you didn't get the impression that you can only win with Northern Realms and Nilfgaard though, every single deck is viable. The spy decks are just much easier to play because .. well because of spies.
    Also playing Gwent matches to get the footage right I'm pretty sure I took everything the lady of the Seven Cats Inn owned which makes her opening speech incredibly ironic.

    Spy card locations:
    Prince Stennis - Starter Deck
    Sigismund Dijkstra - Defeat Phillip Strenger during "Gwent: Skellige Style" [if Phillip is already gone you can find the card in his office]
    Thaler: Buy from the Arinbjorn's tavern keeper
    Mysterious Elf - Defeat Gremist during "Gwent: Skellige Style"
    Shilard Fiz-Oesterlen/Stefan Skellen/Vattier de Rideaux: Random from victories in Gwent
    In case you don't know where to start with your starting cards, here's the best standard starting deck.
    When you get to the inn with Vesemir you first get thrown into a cutscene to talk to the innkeeper. Buy all of her cards (Decoy, Catapult, Blue Stripes Commando, Crinfred Reavers Dragon Hunter and Foltest, Lord Commander of the North)
    Now build this deck:
    Decoy
    Catapult
    Dethmold
    Trebuchet x2
    Ballista
    Ves
    Siegfried of Denesle
    Keira Metz
    Síle de Tansarville
    Prince Stennis
    Crinfrid Reavers Dragon Hunter
    Dun Banner Medic
    Sabrina Glevessig
    Sheldon Skaggs
    Blue Stripes Commando x3
    Yarpen Zigrin
    Poor Fucking Infantry
    Choose "Foltest, Lord Commander of the North" as a leader card.
    Now go to the Scholar that offers you the first Gwent match. Play him for his Zoltan card (shuffle for Prince Stennis, Dun Banner Medic and your 3 Blue Stripes - use your Leader card to counter Biting Frost to save your Blue Stripes) and replace your Poor Fucking Infantry card for Zoltan Chivay instead.

Save your game before the gwent game starts and reload if you don't get him. there are also some tutorials on how to get the card. I still don't have Gerlat in my deck and the Spy that has only 1 Attack Point.

    Here is a final tip to those who play trading card games in general: Always shorten your deck to as low as allowed. This allows you to have a greater chance of getting what you need whenever you draw.

    • @KizerMoore
      @KizerMoore 4 роки тому +22

      This is better for Northern Realms or Nilfgaardian. For Scoi'atel and Monsters, because of their muster cards, it's sometimes better to have a bigger deck to avoid bleeding your own hand if you end up having multiple muster cards of the same type in your hand at a time.

    • @masterblaster2678
      @masterblaster2678 4 роки тому +1

      @The Mine But Monster decks are so fun with them muster cards left and right :(
      Imo, Scoi'tael is the worst deck. Nilfgaard is the second worst (spies are way too strong, ability too situational, nothing that impressive or unique about Nilfgaard specific cards), Monster is my favorite but inarguably Northern Realms is the best deck, so Monster is second.
      The thing with Monster deck is, just bring Decoys and turn their Spies against them, and bring 3 Clear Weathers so you have a high chance of rolling one of them at least (or just rely on drawing hero cards). I've had the most fun with the Monster deck.

    • @manuj2868
      @manuj2868 4 роки тому +2

      Master Blaster Lol a maxed out Nilfgaard is straight up broken. If you have all the hero cards, spies and full impera brigade row, you’ll win. Make sure to keep it a 22 cards. You’ll almost always pull one spy, which in turn draws all the other spies. Got a high score of 274 with that one. It’s more reliable than monsters and social tael imo.

    • @andrewbrown6904
      @andrewbrown6904 4 роки тому +1

      @@masterblaster2678 The spies for the nilfgaard deck are much more balanced than northern realms, but they are still extremely broken, especially when decoys are being used. Most late game players use 3 decoys in their deck to try and discourage the use of spies, but by using decoys of your own in conjunction with personal spies, you can draw your entire deck without committing anytime important to the board. Also, spies and decoys in this game buy you turns which can easily break an opponent's win condition if they don't have the same amount of cards in hand as you do. Just because you give an enemy 21 (if I remember correctly) power doesn't mean you don't have much more in hand

    • @bdcopp
      @bdcopp 4 роки тому +19

      I disagree I found the clear skies leader ability to be easily the strongest. You don't need the siege master ability as you should be running 2-3 commanders horns anyway. Being able to counter your opponents weather whenever you need without clogging your hand with useless extra cards is much more valuable. Though my end game deck only had the catapults + medic as siege units.

    Northern realms deck with calling horn and foltest as your leader card with a bunch of siege weapons. Never lose on hard. Pass the first round or use your spy card then pass, then use other cards to win the second round, (opponent will probably pass this round so don't use your best cards yet) then for the final round use all your siege cards with foltest and heroes. Literally my strategy every game

  • @highrhino
    @highrhino 5 років тому +1

    This is a great guide and I only really watched it to see what you said about it :) I would probably add that once you have enough cards to do it, take out the small cards with no abilities on them so you have more chance of drawing the better cards.
    I only ever lost a couple of games using northern realms and the lose first round strategy (most of the time the game passes second round). I used Foltest the Siege Master hero card and took out all the non siege unit from my deck except for spies, the blue stripes, the reavers, the dragon, and heroes ofc. I also only used 2 decoys, 1 scorch (often had it unused because my cards were better), 2 commanders horns and dandelion and then Gaunter (although the ranged not pulling the siege one from deck sucks) and Ogird when i got Heart of Stone.

  • @merathy
    @merathy 7 років тому +28

    Only decent guide on youtube.
    I started winning by using the clear weather foltest leader and throwing all weather cards out of my deck. The best fraction to use weather cards against is the monster deck, but I usually bait them into playing everything they got with spies.
    This is on death march settings, not sure if it works the same on all difficulties.

      I felt like that to at first not knowing how to play Gwent, but then I realized I was playing with a poor deck.
      So I set out to improve my card options and once I found more powerful cards I started to have better luck. But it dosent stop there because then you have to sort the deck to play your best cards and not use the lesser ones. The chances of winning increases greatly, but also that even if your opponent has a better deck you still can beat him. As a rule I play my opponint at lest 3 times to win his card from him. Increasing my chances of winning his card to beater my deck. Hope this helps mate:)

    Blood and Wine adds the Skellige deck, which contains the most OP card of all: Cerys. Cerys is a hero card that has 10 power and has a muster ability that summons all shield maidens, which have 4 power each and the tight bond ability. If you have all three shield maidens(or more, but I haven't found more) in your deck and use Cerys, you increase your total power by 46(Cerys = 10, shield maidens = 3 * (4 * 3)), which is crazy and can often singlehandedly win you a round.

    • @ProperBird
      @ProperBird  7 років тому +1

      They actually pronounce it "an seed" one time in the games, during the side adventure "The price of neutrality". The one elf there uses that pronunciation. So at that point I was a bit confused on what to use but I just decided on the most used one at that point.

    Great video! I must admit I wasn't a fan of Gwent when I first started this game because I waited too long to get into it and by the time I did my deck sucked. I lost game after game. I started winning games and better cards but I'm still on a quest to make my Northern Realms deck even better. If anyone can answer, I have some questions:Where can I find more Scorch cards? I have one, but I'd love to have at least 3.Where can I find more spy cards? I have 3 in my deck (Dikstra, 0 neutral card, and I think someone with 5 strength). I'd love to have way more spies if possible. What is the ideal deck size for Northern Realms? I've been playing with the smallest deck count I can (25 cards). I don't even play weather cards; just clear weather. Where can I find decoys? I'd love to be able to reuse spies or abuse the medic summoning another medic play. Where can I find the catapults with 8 strength? I only have one and I can't remember how I came across it. Where can I find more medics? I only have the 5 strength medic and Yennefer. I'd love to have at least one more. Finally, where can I find the best Monster and Nilfgard cards?

      @suyashbhagwat5615 7 років тому +1

      TBH most of the time you get those cards by playing merchants and buying cards from them, and getting into the tournaments during side quests will also net you some good cards and doing the Gwent quest will net you some VERY good cards. Zoltan has a side quest which you SHOULD do and at end you can get 3 Hero cards.

    No love for Foltest: Siege Master? That’s sad. That’s way better than the scorch ability imo. You can resurrect scorched cards, it’s not easy to overcome a point value of over 150 though.

  • @qdllc
    @qdllc 5 років тому

    Other guides basically say to throw the first round on purpose. You have to win 2 of 3, and letting the opponent win the first round means you save your cards for winning the next two. Otherwise you may tap out your strength early with a 1/1 split and be vulnerable in Round 3.

    • @ProperBird
      @ProperBird  5 років тому

      Nah, play out your spies round one because your opponent will still play cards anyway. And if you eventually get frost + vill you take round 1 in 2 cards anyway. :p

    I think you should add a disclaimer in your description of the video that you're using DLC's, because I note several cards and alternate card designs that are not part of the standard game.
    I only came into this game a couple months ago and am on my 2nd playthrough. There are several cards in card designs in your video that I did not see on my 1st playthrough nor on my 2nd so far.
    I also noted there were more than 3 blue stripe commandos, and other cards with extra copies in your video, that I didn't find in my 1st or current playthrough.

    • @ProperBird
      @ProperBird  5 років тому

      The only expansion that was out at the time was Hearts of Stone and it only added a few cards but no new mechanics at all. The 4th Blue Stripe Commando is actually a bug that I wasn't aware of at the time. No other extra copies are in there though so you might've just not ran into them yet. ^^

      @TitoMcFadden 4 роки тому

      Nilfgaard decks are powerful but only if you get lucky and draw most of your spies, heroes, and healers. If you are unlucky, you're screwed unless your opponent uses spies that you can take away with decoys to draw more and pray your good cards get drawn. Northern Realms is much more forgiving.

    • @ProperBird

      Honestly most times I didn't even have to care about weather cards because the opponent's row was also affected.
      You can still main Scoia'tael but it's definitely the harder option. You'll need your opponent to play the spies and you can then resurrect them or use decoy to play them back at them.
