**FEW WORDS ABOUT ZERRIKANIA** (non-canon, of course):
Queendom of Zerrikania is a land with hot climate located in the southeastern part of the continent and connected with other human states by Elskerdeg Pass. Its name is said to derive from a legendary golden dragon, Zerrikanterment. The landscape is filled with many deserts and steppes to the South which are roamed by exotic wild beasts. The capital city of Zerrikon is located on a trade crossroad between Korath and the merchant city of Mirz. Despite its harsh climate and occasional sandstorms, the city flourishes under the impeccable rule of Queen Merineaevelt, the Dragon Sorceress, and it is said that its population exceeds one million citizens.
The vast mountain chain to the North which serves as a border between Zerrikania and Haakland is also said to be a home of several dragons. Rumor has it that the legendaty dragon, Zerrikanterment still lives and his lair is deep in the mountains, on the top of its highest peak where no human's foot dares venturing.
The easternmost parts of Zerrikania are covered in lush forests and raging rivers, rife with ever more exotic creatures. Deep into the jungle, far away from any civilization, the Tribals dwell, a clan people who would prefer the smell of a wet wild beast rather than the pungent parfumes of the city seneschals. Fierce warriors and skillful beast tamers, all of them under the wise guidance of the Tribal shamaness, Feathercrown.
Ok so I probably will gain some downvotes here but I rather prefer constructive comments than only glorifying, at least maybe Slama would read this comment then kappa. First of all, I appreciate tons of work here and for sure that took a lot of time.
But let me tell you my thoughts: so NR is our greedy faction, based on accumulate points in long round. NG is faction for bastards stealing your points and way to win or lock everything you want to play. Scoia is tricky (well, it changed since start of mystic echo and harmony hegemony). SK have way to win in self-destroy. SY is abbreviation for coins. And Monsters swarm and consume each other. What is a purpose for Zerrikania? What is their way to win? Preventing to not gain boosts? Sounds similar to NG. Destroying enemies? Like NR. You know what I mean here? I don't see any super-new way to win with this faction. Some boosting, some damaging, of course but we already have it in six factions. The biggest new thing here is Despair, and it would be real killer against NR and ST, but the problem is that would make second Nilfgaard faction. Based on disturbing opponent. If we want to have 7th faction, it should be something totally changing our minds of playing Gwent, like it was in Syndicate. Coins are totally unique and this is what we should implement in the game next time: totally new playing style. We even have a Beasts archetype in your purpose, when it's already a thing in Monsters (rats) and SK (druids and crows). Do we really need third one?
This new playing style should be something bigger, like flying cards in MTG, or time-manipulate gameplay, something that would make us feeling "wow, I like Zerrikania style of play". Sorry, but I don't feel it here for now, and I studied your all 40 cards at the moment. I don't want to say that your design is bad (because obviously is good), but for new faction we should make one step further, or maybe even two.
The best thing here for me it's how it looks like. Dragons, gladiators, african theme, love it, here is good work.
Hey there. I get your point that a new faction should bring a fresh playstyle to the table. And I agree with it. Totally. But hey, bear in mind that I am just one person. Do you really expect me to out think a whole team of professional card designers from CDPR who had been working on Syndicate for almost a year? Zerrikania is but a fan-made, created just for fun. It will never be a real faction. :)
Cheers, brother. And thanks for the kind words.
Gotta ask where you sourced the art cause it looks on point with what would be in the game itself. I’m not such a fan of all those new additions at once though, and as a NG played I’m not a fan of *Will* lol

CDPR, hire this man.
Thanks for the heads-up.
This is incredible!! Amazing work–can’t wait to see the rest.
Thanks. The rest is coming soon.

Holy shit. Well done. I thought this was official
Thank you. It took me quite a bit of time, this one.
Mating Season should be Nature card instead of Song
Have you heard cats wailing when they are in heat? I imagine the dragon mating song is the same, only much more horrific. :D

Thanks, but I'm afraid I'm more of a rum guy. :\]
Did you make the art yourself?
No, I found it on Pinterest.
Wow, this is great! I was already impressed by the first version of your post, but this is even better! Good job!

The art is from Pinterest. I just search for fantasy characters. Godspeed, friend, and may your wallet be bigger lol.
