Leader

Each Gwent deck is built with one Leader card. Leader cards determine the deck's faction. Each Leader comes equipped with a powerful ability for turning the tide of battle.

Leader cards may only be used once per match; using a Leader card is the same as using a regular card, and the player's turn will end.
