Beta player here, I came back with Lifecoach, but something I noticed last and this patch too is the fact that Syndicate is the only faction that can play two entire rounds with only gold cards. What's up with that? I know that the common opinion on this platform is the fact that Syndicate is broken and CDPR's devs are incompetent, but how they are not finding this wrong after this long time Syndicate is alive? Was it different before? Is it too hard for them to balance it or it's straight up lazyness at this point? I know that this fact made Lifecoach quit (and he is not alone, see McBeard too for example and others), but it's really awkward that there is a faction that can play around 20 golds in one deck and they all have decent to high value, when factions like scoia'tael have overpriced golds with bad effects, for example. Tell me if I'm wrong on this, maybe I just didn't play enough
