The game was not really fun for me before this patch but now II am really enjoying the game, however, the potential that it can have by simply reworking many old cards, is A LOT.
Many of the NG bronzes are just lacking synergy or they are at best a 5 for four provision, while syndicate and SC have probably the best of them. It is not even about which faction has the best bronzes or not, it is more about some of the cards being so random and out of the place and useless at the same time that wouldn't allow creativity for variety of decks.
This being, it would favor some of the cards in literally 80% of decks because of the difference in power and viability.
Example> Blightmaker being in every deck (I know its a 6 but its a card that comes in every NG deck)
which some of the cards would not even be touched once:
EXAMPLES> ANGRY MOB + Meanagrie keeper + ducal guard (it does have synergy but no one uses it because it either will get removed immediately or its extremely slow) + Nauzicaa brigade
cards being out of place like COMBAT ENGINEER, + Ointment (why its out of place? because it heals, since when healing is a NG thing) where are even the possible synergies.
ANOTHER THING: why some cards are just in every deck when they get released or reword? this comes from the old cards simply being BAD
And again I am not saying Gwent already doesn't have varied decks, but the potential by just reworking the cards is huge.
