Possibly hot take: Neutrals have always been too strong in Gwent

I'm not speaking as a very skilled player. Although I've been playing since the closed beta, I'm still a super casual player and mostly an RP type of player.

Maybe because of that but I've always thought Neutrals are too powerful in this Gwent as a fundamental issue with the same. I've always thought they should be inferior to cards of a similar strength/ration in the various factions. However, their strength is that they can be included in any deck, and thus, provide flexibility.

But too often, I feel that too many metas, or just strong decks in general, revolve around a number of Neutral Cards being included in one's deck.

For me, the solution is to either nerf Neutrals or greatly buff the Devotion mechanic.

Ik this is probably considered a smooth brain take by most of the community, I just wanted to complain to the void I guess.
