Current meta = boring

I have been playing Gwent since it’s Beta-Version. While I paused for a little while, when I came back about a year ago, the meta was really interesting. I am not saying that I didn’t get frustrated about NG control here and there but all in all I felt there were a lot of archetypes (currently rank 3)

Ever since Forbidden treasures I don’t see this broad spectrum of decks anymore, because every deck has to play the OP neutrals like Nekker, aerondight and the ring. Meaning they are also playing roach and Ciri and the dog (don’t know his English name). And everything else – independent of color – feels like it’s just a buildup to these cards. So it comes down to whoever gets blue coin and point slams the first round to play nekker in round 2, because long round 3 mean certain loss. And with that I am bound to whatever 10 cards I draw first, meaning a 40ish% chance I get what I need to bleed these decks.

I think I will skip two seasons and return when the meta is interesting again.

I would love to know whether I am alone or if someone else thinks that way
