There might be new cards for various old factions, including neutral ones. We still don’t know if merchants from the main game are going to be selling them, but there’s no doubt you’ll be able to buy them in Toussaint. There will be a tournament in the city, so expect a lot of buzz around that.Skellige Deck
The biggest treat is, of course, the new deck. A brand new faction to play around with, the Skellige deck consists of images of burly men and women, viking boats and bears. Crach an Craite will be the faction leader, and there will be several card abilities we haven’t seen before. Hjalmar will be one of the heroes, a ranged card with 10 strength. Here are the cards we know of so far:| Name | Preview | Strength | Type | Ability | Location |

Thank goodness only the original deck is required for quest completion. There isn’t a proper guide for obtaining cards.
* Possible Spoilers!
This list is waaaaaay off. To anyone who is curious or needs a checklist, I compiled this one. The locations of merchants who play Gwent and award cards are marked for a quest received after playing your first game in the expansion, I believe. I assume the card awarded is random, but I haven’t tested that assumption. Verified by my having the trophy and having beaten the Blood and Wine tournament.
