  • Gwent can be a little bit overwhelming for a beginner. So I'm creating my beginners guide deck series. Today we take a look at the Monsters Starter Deck. For just 300 scraps, you can make a few key improvements to give this deck a little more power. I also go through the key synergies, how to play the deck, and recommend some key Monsters gold cards to craft.
    Expanding on their popular Witcher franchise with Gwent, CD Project Red are following the trend of creating their own collectible card game. Players must compete across 3 rounds to outscore their opponent and come out on top.

    For those wondering why there's a new Monsters Starter video: It turns out the Monsters starter list got sneakily updated with patch 4.0. So my old video was using the old list. Here's an updated video with the new starter list. :)

    Favorite sentence: "Yum yum yum, eggs are really good source of protein."
    As a returning player I noticed a LOT of differences, like there being only 2 rows and much more... this guide is really helpful for me to get used to it and start playing again, thanks a lot :D

      I've been such a big advocate to bring this game to mobile - even spamming the devs - and when it finally came to android, my phone wasn't comparable - that was the biggest L I've ever taken in my life - now I just go to read the reviews of all the people having fun.... lol.

      @@neilcognito I've been holding off getting it for the PS4 just because it didnt seem to be a game i was going to sit in front of a tv for hours and play but being able to pull it out for a game or two on the train to work is perfect! My only gripe is (dunno if it's the same on ps4) it could do with explaining some more of the mechanics but I suppose that's the same with most of these type of games.

      @@equinox9 Same - I play on GOG, but the most I can do is about 3 matches on any given day - having it on mobile is a lifesaver; I just need a phone that runs it. And about the explanation, yes, so true; I've been playing this game since 2017, and to say I barely have an understanding of the game would be a total understatement - It worries me because I want to force everyone I know to play the game, and if they don't understand it, they'll get frustrated, and I will lose people to recommend awesome games to.

      @@neilcognito haha yeah, unfortunately as soon as I mention card game to most of my friends it's a no so I've given up on that. What I do give CDPR massive credit for is for the casual player it doesnt seem to be pay to win so far. I'm level 10 and beat a level 41 yesterday with a starter deck. Whereas on hearthstone quite early on people were pulling out crazy cards. I'll probably look in to upgrading a monster deck this weekend.

      @neilcognito 4 роки тому +1

      @@equinox9 Yeah - if there is anything I praise went for, is it's balancing - I think that's the trade-off for the complexity of the game, no one is guaranteed to win, it's all about strategy and think ahead. That's why I fell in love with this game, never even fancy card games before playing gwent in the Witcher 3. CDPR is a damn fair and respectable company if not anything else I say.

So thank u SO much . Just one thing ; PLEASE PLEASE always show the card u are talking about as a new player I'm not familiar with most of the cards and if u just call the card by name I won't have a clue but if u show the card i immediately know which one u talking about. Cheers for ur help. Can't wait to learn from ur vids and get better and climb the ranks with ur great step by step help. Once again thank u for ur vid it helped me so much in that I've played with few other new to the game monster players and as I see their mistakes I just want to stop the game and tell them to watch u.

      @Jaggerous  4 роки тому

      You need to have Dominance for it to trigger. This means that you need to have the unit with the most points on your side of the board. If your opponent has a bigger unit it won't trigger. If you both have the same biggest it will.
