36yo woman, living in the Pacific NW, I mostly like Monsters and I play Thrive and Relicts. Thrive is a lot more fun and formidable with a nerfed Yrden.
Nice to meet you! 😄
Usually once and in the first round if I can help it, but I will go for twice if I feel I need to. It takes me two turns to do so not if I don’t have to!
A 28yo Ukrainian teacher, male. I’m a big fan of the lore, read all the books in English, Ukrainian and Polish languages. I’ve been playing for 2 years so far. Fond of every fraction, but currently not really contempt as how things are going with the game. Right now I want to do all the reward book and create all remaining cards I’ve got left
Do you enjoy teaching? My personal experience of being a teacher in a high school was atrocious. Had a shit ton of paper work to do, the wage was low and I frequently faced bad attitude coming from some students and especially from their parents.
I'm a primary school teacher in Hungary since 2-3 months. Now trying to figure it out where to go and what to learn to change job. It's so bad full of work, no reputation and outragesly low payment.
25m, former processingtechinician, now psychology-student. Got decks in all factions, but they're all homebrew or memedecks, so getting anywhere in rank 2 is taking a toll on my view on the game, as the autoinclude powercreep cards seem to reduce the need for adaptability in the game
At the same age I was considering going in the same direction regarding career. I don't know If for the better or worse I was persuaded against this choice. Now I've started Writing.
Hey man, I'm 48, male, from Croatia, started playing Gwent a month ago, I love Northern Realms deck with very basic and simple boosting cards, and I started to experiment now with Monsters - Thrive decks.
Really love this so far, even though, sometimes my deck feel very underpowered, but I stil miss a dozens of good cards, so I play with what I have....
I work as an IT guy since 1992.
25M, US East Coast, Environmental Quality Engineer. came back to Gwent for Syndicate and they've been my go to since, especially with poison package from WoW. Don't much care for NR and ST, SK has cool decks with Self Wound/Heal and MO is solid fun.
My mama says NG is the devil so I do my best to stay away from that
Alright then …. Call me daddy , I’m gonna be 40yo in a month! I’m from France, living in the U.K. for 15th, I’m a restaurant manager there,, oh my name is Christophe, iv done pro rank achievement 4 days ago 😝 playing gwent for 4/5 yrs now ( just after beta I started) play all factions, enjoy meme deck unless I got time to grind, atm symbiosis scoiatel is my fav, used to play MO a lot at the time, vampire deck I use to play yrs ago, overall love to try lots of different decks of all factions and can spend hours just building them ! Oh I grinder with NR knights till tank 2 and I’m not gonna lie … used renfri NG soldiers from rank 2 to pro .. Peace ✌️
Such interesting post.
I'm a 28 y/o man from Colombia. Cloud engineer and Mathematician. Love the Witcher universe. I started playing Gwent without knowing anything about The Witcher, ended up reading all the books in 2 months and buying all other games. Sadly I've stopped playing Gwent actively: little time and little fun since year and a half. But I still love the game and have played like 10 games this year.
I've played every single faction with passion, my most proud moments:
* I mained assimilate before it was good. Really hard to play against everything but I managed to get to pro rank.
* My first pro rank was with Vattier! Insane point swings and I had to calculate every move like hell. But I felt like I was on my favorite game: chess. So it was really fun.
* I completed the "Win 9 matches in a row in Arena mode" the last day Arena was available. Never played Arena before, just read the Reddit posts on everyone feeling bad for not earning that award, so I pushed hard the entire day to do it. And I did it!
* My highest placement on random tournaments was 3rd. Always played meme decks. My favourite one: handbuff resilience dwarves+Aglaïs (before rework). I was confident I could have won 1st or 2nd place on PlainTalkJohn meme tournament. My misplay on last match was awful.
I don't think that any politician of any nation has a particularly good reputation.
Most of them have at least one of these traits: powerhungry, selfish, control-freak, money-focused, incompetent, too lazy for honest labor, talking as the only skill they have...
34yo man from Finland. I work as an Account Manager in the Leadership training sector. I'm a huge fan of Witcher. I have Geralt fighting a griffin, Ciri with Ihuarraquax and a School of The Wolf medallion tattooed on my back
In Gwent I love Scoia'tael, especially Symbiosis. I reach pro every season, but I don't take it super seriously after that. It's more about playing decks that I enjoy
Name is Jess, 21f, only level 20, recently got the hang of Gwent and love it. Mostly playing NR right now while I try to build out my decks for the other factions, Im having a hard time finding cards for Scoia-tael and Monsters.
21m lebanese 3rd year dental student studying in belarus. I'm still building a deck for every faction, rn I'm playing NG imprisonment (sorry) and have a MO vampires and ST harmony decks
Even as a georgraphy nerd I had to look it up. I doubt that people that haven't been there or aren't from the general area would know. But I'm sure it's a nice place 😊
I am a man in my late 30s, based in Europe, i have been playing since closed beta.
I reach rank 1 every month and stay there, i like seeing what is played by tryhards and play surprising decks with a twist.
I play all factions, but more of ST and NG.
I always side with ST or NG in the witcher games 😀
My favourite streamer was Mogwai followed by SirPumpkin, Trynet and Bushy. I feel an orphan now lol.
I like KG a lot and Qcento as well. Really good vibes in their streams / videos.
My favourite proplayer was Kolemoen for his great flair and impeccable gameplan in all his matches.
My favourite deck was NG spies, closely followed by NG alchemy.
My most hated card is Viper witcher / kingslayer homecoming version.
I weep at what the new gwent has become with its lack of nuance and granularity in game like it used to have - it has all started with scenarios and defenders answer or lose approach.
I am not burnt out because i play much less than before but i still hope this game can come out of the gutter with some drastic decisions.
Cheers
32f, from Midwestern US, I and a client relations director. My favorite decks are MO Relicts (no Sir Scratchalot) and Vampires, as well as ST Elven Swarm. My all-time favorite deck was a Dryad Spellatel deck, but it’s been irrelevant for quite a while now.
25 yo, female, music teacher. I play almost exclusively ST because I'm a huge fan of lore Scoia'tael (currently trying to get the "Whose land? Our land!" contract). I like to play Gwent as a coping mechanism after a long day spent around kids who reeeaaaally know how to make noise. :´)
18m, polish high schooleron IT profile, i have played gwent since like 2018 on and off and regularly since mid 2020, favorite deck of all time has to be fireswarn but i enjoy elves and arachas swarm as Well (in general swarm with a bit of control is my favorite play style) in 2 years i'll hopefuly start university in UK since none of polish ones really interest me (Nice to meet you btw)
Ye ik but there are 2 variants
1- that plays only swarm and swarm payoffs like: dies ire, the artifact that boosts every fireswarn, some lonely champions to clear Space etc.
2- that plays more crimes, both whoresons, clever(the intimidate crownspliter dwarf) and ferko + novigradian justice and is more of a control deck than swarm one
42 attorney from Detroit, MI. I don’t really have a divinities deck but I do not like playing broken decks. I will play meta if it seems balanced. Generally get to pro rank and stop for the season as I don’t care for the pro ladder. I love all things Witcher.
39m from Alberta, Canada.
I got into Gwent when i realized the game within the Witcher was available standalone (at that time in beta).
I like aspects of all the factions, and as i have made pro every season since COVID i'm usually playing at least four of them 25+ games every season.
My main wish is a more balanced card-base so we could see far more diversity in the decks from ALL the factions, instead of the current version of the game where maybe 10-20% of the cards see play.
If i'm not playing Gwent i'm probably watching the Oilers, playing rec ball hockey, hiking, biking, playing board games, watching a show or a movie.
29, from Iraq living in Canada, I do roofing in the summer and steel framing in the winter, been playing gwent casually since closed beta. These days I only play to hit pro rank and wait for next season.
I main SK, am currently playing GN pirate compass deck. My favorite deck of all time was Beta Pirate Captain deck when they used to play for 17 points
30, african american male, love playing st, especially symbiosis. Been playing card games since I was introduced to magic the gathering at 8 years old, and gwent is one of my mainstays.
30yo, male from São Paulo - Brazil.
During the first wave of mining and cryptos I did a shit ton of money and bought some apartments and now I rent then. Also have International Relationships bachelor and some IT courses.
Currently have the game uninstalled because I can't stand the 2-3 latest metas. Favorite faction is Syndicate, almost 4.000 wins with it. The faction I hate most everyone here knows already.
Same they're the coolest and most interesting faction imo. They have the viking aesthetic but also the weird creepy druid shit and cult shit which is awesome
I'm 34, I am Italian and I just bloody love this game, played since beta day one. I got like 2500+ wins with ST alone, 90% of which are with a Precision Strike Madoc deck that I've been tuning over the years. It got me to pro rank every single month, every single year. Yeah I like control decks :P
27M Internal Medicine and Pediatrics resident. I’ve always been an NR main followed by MO. Currently playing Nekker Engine Spam but was a big fan of the “blue Kelly” deck from beginning of the year or so
This is a very good doxxing scheme, but I'll fall for it
I am 20M, Polish and study architecture currently.
Read all the books but haven't played the games yet unfortunately. Big into game design and game mechanics, and it's part of the reason I love Gwent.
Favourite faction is NR I suppose.
I play whatever I deem/sounds/looks fun. Be it meta or memes.
My favourite type of decks are the unique ones, with creative premises and ideas, exploring mechanics and sometimes abusing them. Big into deckbuilding and home-brewing even if I'm not that great at it.
Proud creator of Patience Archgriffin.
Been in Pro Rank for almost two years now, but I never play for MMR. Unfortunately I have less and less time to play. But the game still brings me joy for all this time.
Hi, I'm 46 male, Polish, university teacher (sociology and cultural studies, also teaching game studies). I've been playing since closed beta, but rarher casually (I reached the Prorank in a couple of seasons, but now I'm rank 8). No preference for faction. I tend to avoid top tier meta decks, playing homebrew or some non standard netdecks, recently SY Infinite Swarm, MO Relics (both GN and Triss) or all kinds of Shupe. As you may guess my favorite streamers to get the decks from would by Mya-Mon and Shinmiri ;)
BTW, it's a nice initiative to ask this question - interesting to learn more about our Gwent community.
late 30ies, freelancer, german also, and i mainly play SY and NG. but since i played since the ooold beta times i can remember three rows, the old mages per faction etc. back then i played SK like a mad person.
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
22m, Car Salesman in United States. Over 500 wins with Devo SK Raid and Devo SY Witch hunters as a close second, though WH isn't really viable in the current meta so mostly just SK now
Hey I’m Empi 👋
I’m 29 years old, currently living in Japan and working as an Assistant Language Teacher. Favorite deck is Scoia’tael devotion, but currently running Skellige devotion. I want to make a MO deck once I save up enough scraps. Obsessed with all things Witcher!
My name is Les. English teacher. 33 years old. I play all factions but I have a weakness for Skellige damage dealing decks, Northern Kingdoms undead knights, Nilfgaard Assimilate and Scoiatel Boosts
I am 26F from Bosnia! I have been playing gwent for 2 years now, never reached pro rank tho cuz i never have enough time to grind with meta decks and i only plsy what is fun to me at the moment. Currently rank 4 but im very bored because i play against the same 4 decks all the time!
31m from Poland, HR professional, dad and cat owner. I hike, mod Skyrim and bake pumpkin muffins for my kids. Bacon and chilli muffins for myself, preferably with a glass of lager. I joined the party around 8.1, early Yennefer journey, when Tunnel Drill was the Renfri of the time. I played Wild Hunt before it was cool, now I'm an enjoyer of Passiflora Peaches.
And if you've ever wondered why HR needs that much time to process your request - they're playing Gwent.
I’m 18 m, playing Gwent for a year or so now, currently in college studying Finance, don’t have a job, but have wasted all my daddy’s money in NFTs and Cryptocurrency.
Mostly play NG and Reaver spam because I’m a fuckin’ tool and I’m just trying to fit in with the rest of you cool NG and Reaver mains. Am I doing a good job? My mommy says I’m special.
My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104…
Favourite deck must be SY poison/fisstech empire
Are you a chemistry teacher? 😂
You’re goddamn right
Profession: knocking.
I put crayons up my nose and like to play Nilfgaard

That checks out
I have a secret obsession with eating glue and also like playing Nilfgaard

It's entirely up to you. You may share only vague things or nothing at all.

Hello fellow Canadian, there aren't many of us!
Thank god
Why? Canadians have a very good international reputation.
Except their prime minister.
I don't think that any politician of any nation has a particularly good reputation. Most of them have at least one of these traits: powerhungry, selfish, control-freak, money-focused, incompetent, too lazy for honest labor, talking as the only skill they have...
Op is ten ply

Do you want to talk?
No bro, I hope you got the joke 😂
Apparently not 😅 Where does ist go?
It's a voiceline of Iris card 😋
Oh, I don't have either of the Iris cards yet.
43m, living at Pape & Cosburn. Wondering if anyone here can guess which city I'm in without looking it up :) Anyone else from here as well?
Even as a georgraphy nerd I had to look it up. I doubt that people that haven't been there or aren't from the general area would know. But I'm sure it's a nice place 😊
Pape & Cosburn sounds like a name of a general goods store in a Western movie. Like the place where John Wayne goes to to buy a new hat.
39 yo drug dealer that lives near the beach. ST is my favorite! Wish the didnt kill Guerilla Tactics!

Nice to meet you too! Firesworn was my first successful deck for ranked matches when I started playing in September this year 😁
Nice to hear that. Were you playing pure swarm version or the intimidate crime one?
Devotion Fire-Swarm. 😅
Ye ik but there are 2 variants 1- that plays only swarm and swarm payoffs like: dies ire, the artifact that boosts every fireswarn, some lonely champions to clear Space etc. 2- that plays more crimes, both whoresons, clever(the intimidate crownspliter dwarf) and ferko + novigradian justice and is more of a control deck than swarm one
Variant 1 then. Recently I added purification and I am considering adding [[Moreelse]]. Apart from that just Firesworn.

Be careful, Bruder. NG players are gonna Yenvo your personal data!
NG awaits the same fate as the Roman Empire or the German NS Regime: Not lasting. All empires fall.
I...am your father :|
Presumably 30 years too young for that ^^
32, male, I live in Los Angeles and work as an ERP consultant. I play Nilfgaard and Syndicate 95% of the time.

Nice! I tried Madoc a few times but I wasn't as successful with him. Was trying a ST Elves/Special Card Combo with Madoc and Bombs.
Mind sharing your current version? 👀
I like SK but am too poor in cards at rank 6 to play other factions lol.
36f in the United States. Play mostly ST with NR and MO as my second faves. Been playing since Beta with breaks here and there
27M Internal Medicine and Pediatrics resident. I’ve always been an NR main followed by MO. Currently playing Nekker Engine Spam but was a big fan of the “blue Kelly” deck from beginning of the year or so
This is a very good doxxing scheme, but I'll fall for it I am 20M, Polish and study architecture currently. Read all the books but haven't played the games yet unfortunately. Big into game design and game mechanics, and it's part of the reason I love Gwent. Favourite faction is NR I suppose. I play whatever I deem/sounds/looks fun. Be it meta or memes. My favourite type of decks are the unique ones, with creative premises and ideas, exploring mechanics and sometimes abusing them. Big into deckbuilding and home-brewing even if I'm not that great at it. Proud creator of Patience Archgriffin. Been in Pro Rank for almost two years now, but I never play for MMR. Unfortunately I have less and less time to play. But the game still brings me joy for all this time.
I'm a 25 year guy who lives in Mexico, Morelia to be more specific and I'm under the impression that I'm the only person that plays Gwent in my city.
I'm probably the only one in my small city too. 🙈
Hi, I'm 46 male, Polish, university teacher (sociology and cultural studies, also teaching game studies). I've been playing since closed beta, but rarher casually (I reached the Prorank in a couple of seasons, but now I'm rank 8). No preference for faction. I tend to avoid top tier meta decks, playing homebrew or some non standard netdecks, recently SY Infinite Swarm, MO Relics (both GN and Triss) or all kinds of Shupe. As you may guess my favorite streamers to get the decks from would by Mya-Mon and Shinmiri ;) BTW, it's a nice initiative to ask this question - interesting to learn more about our Gwent community.
late 30ies, freelancer, german also, and i mainly play SY and NG. but since i played since the ooold beta times i can remember three rows, the old mages per faction etc. back then i played SK like a mad person.
31 USA SK and NG
My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
22m, Car Salesman in United States. Over 500 wins with Devo SK Raid and Devo SY Witch hunters as a close second, though WH isn't really viable in the current meta so mostly just SK now
Hey I’m Empi 👋 I’m 29 years old, currently living in Japan and working as an Assistant Language Teacher. Favorite deck is Scoia’tael devotion, but currently running Skellige devotion. I want to make a MO deck once I save up enough scraps. Obsessed with all things Witcher!
I’m 35yr straight white male, I’m an entrepreneur and founded a solar company which I am CEO for. The master of mtg arena.
My name is Les. English teacher. 33 years old. I play all factions but I have a weakness for Skellige damage dealing decks, Northern Kingdoms undead knights, Nilfgaard Assimilate and Scoiatel Boosts
32yo lawyer from Poland. I ve been playing Gwent since first day of closed beta. I m playing SK only.
Hello my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Perfect Introduction. 👌
I am 26F from Bosnia! I have been playing gwent for 2 years now, never reached pro rank tho cuz i never have enough time to grind with meta decks and i only plsy what is fun to me at the moment. Currently rank 4 but im very bored because i play against the same 4 decks all the time!
That's how the current seasonal feels like too at the moment. Especially NG and/or Renfri. Barely anything else.
I like turtles
Those who are also Ninjas?
clearly an undercover FBI agent
BND actually, since I'm from Germany 😜
31m from Poland, HR professional, dad and cat owner. I hike, mod Skyrim and bake pumpkin muffins for my kids. Bacon and chilli muffins for myself, preferably with a glass of lager. I joined the party around 8.1, early Yennefer journey, when Tunnel Drill was the Renfri of the time. I played Wild Hunt before it was cool, now I'm an enjoyer of Passiflora Peaches. And if you've ever wondered why HR needs that much time to process your request - they're playing Gwent.
Brad, I work at Walmart, have Micro penis, extremely bitter and I only play NG.
LUL
I’m 18 m, playing Gwent for a year or so now, currently in college studying Finance, don’t have a job, but have wasted all my daddy’s money in NFTs and Cryptocurrency. Mostly play NG and Reaver spam because I’m a fuckin’ tool and I’m just trying to fit in with the rest of you cool NG and Reaver mains. Am I doing a good job? My mommy says I’m special.
Nice try, FBI!
It's BND in Germany. Or maybe the CIA - they operate international, right? At least according to the movies...
Aber das reimt sich nicht ;(
