Don’t focus only your faciton’s abilities, focus all facitons because while you are playing, you have to grew your strategy according to your opponent’s faction and deck.

ow to build perfect decks? In fact, it depends on you. It depends on your game style and your cards. Now, I will show you some Moster Deck types. Monster faction basically focuses to domination and power. You have to counter opponent’s special and poweful cards. You have to pretend like your card’s counter Card is in your opponent’s hand every time because every card of yours are important. So you have to play your cards smart and just in time. Don’t let your opponent counter your cards easily. Use defender, always put “Purify” cards in your deck and use them wisely.

Use reset cards, reset cards helped me a lot. At the end of the game reset cards are critic In my opinion. Think of it, you are acting like you are gonna loose, and your opponent will be relaxed. So he can make a lot of mistakes because he will think he is gonna win easily, this is where reset cards come into play. I talked a lot, let’s meet with the Decks. Click on titles to see my best decks. I published them in the Gwent Deck Library!

hile we starting, Don’t forget, for every card in your hand, opponent might has their counters! Remember that, if it’s not you won’t loose anything, otherwise you will win the match most of the time. Always use important cards with Cave Troll. It will tank the damage and your critic cards will survive.

Unfortunately Nilfgaard Faction is directly counter of Monster Faction. Nilfgaardians are famous for using your own power against you and Monster Faction is famous for it’s power. So you don’t stand a chance against Nilfgaard most of the time. It’s not your fault, try to fight but if you loose don’t be sad about it.
