- Gwentcards.com
- Prima Guide
- Reddit, xboxachievements.com, gamefaq, steam forum
- Gwentcards.com started a new game to verify the starting deck and updated the default checklist accordingly. I'm not sure if this varies between platform or patch version but the other guides are full of mistakes so here is my experience.
- To break it down, there are certain "faction" cards in the game; 29 Neutral cards, 36 Northern Realms cards, 37 Nilfgaard cards, 37 Scoia'Tael cards, 40 Monster cards, and 16 Leader cards.
- This totals to 195 Gwent cards. As mentioned though, 75 are duplicates, so you only need the standard 120.
- Take Note when counting cards in the deck: Some cards have the same name but different pictures (e.g. Trebuchet) while others have the same picture and stack up (e.g. Blue Stripes Commando) note the x2 or x3 on the card
- You start the game with 32 cards when you play the scholar. 6 Weather Cards, 4 Leader Cards and 22 Northern Realm Cards
- You can buy 5 cards from the Inkeeperess and you win Zoltan card playing the scholar. Total 38 cards in White Orchard right at the start
- Total collection cost: 1600 + 1000 = 2600
- The following has been removed from starting cards and added to Random:
- Ballista (2 of 2),
- Clear Weather (2 of 3) and
- Siege Tower
- The following has been added to starting cards and removed from Quartermaster Crow's Perch: Blue Stripes Commando (2 of 3) & (3 of 3)
- The following has been added to starting cards and removed from Midcopse Trader: Poor Fucking Infantry (2 of 3)
- The guides mentions 3 "Poor Fucking Infantry" but people have found 4, not sure if it's a bug or needs to replace another card
- It seems that the total number of cards is 195 (not 199) and the following cards do not exist:
- Albrich (2 of 2),
- Clear Weather (3 of 3),
- Torrential Rain (3 of 3) and
- Ballista (2 of 2)
