Perfect Expansions

As we know, there are sadly only a couple more card drops for Gwent. If you had your say, what archetypes would you want to get added to (balancing could always make them better, but I mean actually having more cards to flesh out an archetype), this year?

I'd go with:

Skellige – Beasts (barely seems like an archetype, honestly, mostly just complements other decks).

Syndicate – Blindeyes, Tidecloaks, or Crownsplitters (the first two both have a scenario and some great cards but could really use more development, right? Crownsplitters don't have a scenario, and their cards are mostly tossed into other decks)

Monsters – Ogroids (not sure if they even count, but I think there's room for them to actually be a proper archetype, could be fun!)

Nilfgaard – Honestly, as a NG main, Nilfgaard's pretty spoiled. Probably Cultists that give their deck versatility instead of the same binary deck? Or something tying together the NG mages?

Neutral – Shupe (adding another "no duplicates" card would make that more of a viable deck, like the Renfri ones are, since Radeyah is still mediocre and Shupe's the only reason to go no-duplicates.

Northern Realms – Specters (not really a deck, but I remember when the Black Sun expansion came out and people were disappointed that it didn't go in that direction, I think Specters could be really fun, but needs actual cards

Scoia'tael – Dwarves (They have quite a few cards, but since the archetype was nerfed into oblivion back in the day, adding cards that incentivize Dwarf-heavy decks could get around that and make it more diverse without simply buffing the existing cards, which can be interesting, but just aren't good enough alone!)

What possible archetypes getting expanded/created would help you sleep at night before the last cards drop? Or which ones am I way off on? Wasn't sure what to do for Syndicate, since the gangs structure sort of means that they all have "enough" cards as-is, but I think that compared to Collusion/Bounty/Nekker/Poison, that proper Blindeyes/Tidecloaks/Crownsplitters decks are lacking.
