Merchants restocking gwent cards?

[Crater]

I'm curious about this since some cards depend on doubles, like the monster cards which summon from your deck and the cards which double in attack if next placed to another one.

Given those abilities in the cards themselves, shouldn't there be some way to get doubles of the generic cards???

Keep finding new people to play with everywhere and scour the lands for merchants selling cards. Part of the reason you can't find sets of some cards/decks is because the game wants to keep the feeling of progression I suppose. You won't have the same deck from level 10 to end-game (sort of) because you will keep finding new good cards constantly.

I have literally every hero card in the game. I'm not asking about 'getting a better deck', I'm making the general observation that **since some cards have effects which require having multiple of that card, is there a mechanism for getting multitple of them?**

how do i get that beast of a card that doubles the entire rows damage? I think it's morale?

I would think so, I had a hard time beating the innkeeper of the Seven Cats Inn a while ago, I tend to buy every single card I see and challenge everything that moves so I can get as many cards as possible, so I'd figured that since she wasn't selling any cards she would give me a good card by the end.

After about 5 attempts, I finally won and she gave me x3 coal...nice. Anyway, I came back to challenge her again some time after that and see how my new deck was standing against her, I was surprised when I was going to buy some water for her and noticed she was selling a card (it was a single, pretty basic card), unlike before.

So my take on it is that people do restock on cards, it's just not the most amazing pieces of collection though.

It's known that some merchants 'restock' a card, but this isn't an actual inventory reset, it's just a weird mechanic. The innkeeper at white orchard does this. All you need to do is look at her inventory, buy the cards, back out, talk to her again, and she will have another card, in her case it's decoy. To my knowledge this can only be done once, on the merchants on which this works.

I managed to beat her in one go with the Northern Kingdom deck.

Lucky enough for me I suppose, I had 3 decoys so I kept switching out the siege medic(revive a friendly unit of your choose) in the last round and deal it again and again. If I was playing against a human he would've called me cheating. :P

Using decoys like that is completely normal though, one of the best things you can do is use decoys to counter the enemies' spies, or as you said, keep bringing back your medic.

The witcher 3 guide I have gives a full list as to where to find all of the cards. ALL of the Minor merchants that play qwent offer a random card. You can save scum it and end up getting a card you might want. I haven't tried it by using the same save character but I have started over again and noticed I got more monster cards than on my first play through of the game. I am playing on PS4 btw.

Like someone above said, the sale of cards is a weird system. Basically, certain merchants have a group of cards they will sell, but they only display a cretain number of them at once. So you buy all the ones on offer, close shop menu, go back into shop menu, buy any new cards, and repeat this until they offer no more cards. You can use this tactic on any vendor to quickly "restock" components you may need as well.

These are the best resources I've found when hunting for Gwent cards.
