The Northern Realms deck is the default Gwent deck that Geralt starts with at the beginning of The Witcher 3.
Overview
- Faction perk: Draw a card if you win a round.
The Northern Realms deck is built around the idea of staying power and damage output. Each row has a unit card with the Tight Bond ability, allowing you to rapidly build up a score, while three separate Espionage cards help keep a large hand late into the game.
The weaknesses of the deck include great susceptibility to Weather cards, which negate the Tight Bond effectively, and Scorch cards. Losing 64 points is a deal-breaker, if the opponent plays the latter and knocks out two Catapults out of the game.
