Opinions on Geralt: Yrden

witcher gwent cards witcher table

So , i was playing with my new Beauclair deck and i happen to face another one , it went like this :

1st round: he plays right away Cahir and Ffion…i manage to keep up USING ONLY BRONZE CARDS ; still, thanks to Cahir ,he manages to get the upper hand , and i pass with 7 cards , for me is an absolute win : i have still 1/2 win condition/s while he wasted a defender and an important card for the Beauclair engine.

2nd round: I have full hand , and the feeling that my opponent will let me win to preserve cards, which is what happened , we go to the 3rd

3rd round: one of my 2 win con didn't managed to happen , still i had the Beauclair win con with Cahir , Ciri imposter, Ffion for shielding ,etc…he had nothing (bad luck can happen, i know well) , but the real "bad" thing was his play…just awful , CARDS WASTED : Letho wasted even knowing I could counter him , Milton wasted , Palmerin wasted , long story short : i came up with ~150 pts Vs his/hers ~80 pts (i managed to reset his boosted units with Beauclair and Peter : key to victory but nothing so cancerous , on top of that , it was i who boosted his units , it was only "fair" that i "remedied") .

Then he played geralt , one single card , and he won…now : i know that only because he/she played badly was not a reason for me to win , but still , one single card? ONE SINGLE CARD?!? this is wrong on many levels for a card game, but on top of them is deck building : the point is to make a deck for exploiting its synergies , and building a win-con while your op tries to nullify it or builds a win-con better than yours : geralt is a one usage , unsynergistic neutral card , it can be put anywhere and used anytime : for geralt yrden the problem is also its effect , which to me is too much OP (most neutral cards have this problem btw ).

Your thoughts? I complain too much or there's some truth in my words and someone agrees with me?
