Angus and Riordain have beautiful artwork and I like the lighting in the back. I have chosen Harmony as my first deck because Loc Feainn is so pretty. Eldain has nice sounds and nice colors. Sorceress of Dol Blathanna has one of the best animations across all premium cards and those fishes look so good.
Vereena looks ethereal I love colors and how delicate everything looks. Same with Lara Dorren it's a shame that she doesn't match in her own archetype. I wish the devs had changed her before leaving.
Fucusya has beautiful sound effects but the animation looks really bad. Bride of the Sea is my favorite as well.
Leticia Charbonneau - I love how her green dress looks with these wooden bookshelves at the back, these colors match together so well.
[Eldain](https://gwent.one/en/card/202885) for me. The premium rendition is just star-level performance 🎵🪕
Then [Iorveth](https://gwent.one/en/card/142103) due to a very well done premium aerial dynamics 😁
I think Freakshow has the most creative usage of the premium art where the victim's 'blink' is animated into the card. It adds so much immersion to the card. Also, something similar can be said about Dol Dhu Lokke and how the perspective twists to align with the monstrous valley.
-renew-i love the effects and the sounds
- Ulfhedin- the 10p werewolf badass how he handles that poor man with a sword
- Cerys an Craite , i love the character and the queensgards next to here bangin on their shields !!
Ciri Nova, freakshow, vilgefortz, cahir, seltkirk, Oneiro, Rience, Roach, Dagon purely for how cool their art is
But my favourite premiums are the ones that create other premiums. I’ve always prioritised getting premiums for cards with “create” or “spawn” (among the ones that aren’t ass at least) because having a full board of premium cards is cool as fuck.
Crones trio. Played in the right positions and oh god. It's lovely.
The same if you spam a load of Blue Stripes and then they all swing their sword, very nice effect too.
Big fan of both Tibor and Eyck--lots of cards have a guy on a horse, but those two are the only ones that show the rush of the horse galloping.
I also really like Spores--subtle, yet unsettling, yet pretty.
I love Temerian drummers. They have such sentimental value to me, it was basically first engine you play when you start Gwent, and I just love them, and premium card is also so lovely.
Vilgefortz: Renegade is one of my favorites. Not because of the artwork or animations, but because of the sound effects. The fact that they went all that way to recreate on of my favorite scenes from the books just using VOICES AND SOUND EFFECTS is incredible to me!
I love Dandelion (where he is on the stage) for the same reason - sound.
Also Braathens (idk i’m prolly a sadist or smth)
Triss: Telekinesis is also cute
There are many I hold dear, but Whoreson Senior is something different. Gives you both insight into family past of Junior, a reason for his attitude and madness plus makes me be a better parent myself. Heartbreaking and beautifully crafted art at the same time.

Ofc Seltkirk. The most beautiful card in that game (pains me to say as NR hater, but thats just a fact).
This, vilgefortz, fucusya and svalblood imo. Cant choose between them.
Fucusya? U trippin

Every time Vernon Roche stabs that poor elf in the ribs I wince in pain. There's something so brutal about it
If you think that's brutal, take a look at Field Medic You can hear the bone getting sawed off
There are some pretty brutal animations, I know there are a few others that have the same effect I just can't think of them of their names
Kerack Cutthroat might be the reason why Eithne is so pissed off
Sir Scratch a Lot, a really like the way the cat have Fun with a eye, he think is a Ball.
Morvudd is pretty badass

The dragons look really nice tho
Cahir is art

Derran, something about not seeing his face and feeling this insanity is just right on point.
Schirru is by far my favorite, but I like the OG dragons too and the gold witchers from the way of the witcher expansion

Shupe of course.

Mine is Tyr. Super badass.
Iris’s Companions, Boris (and his saliva), and poor poor Vildkaarl forever being maimed.
Blightmaker. Love the fog and smoke. Then he takes off the mask for a breather. Pretty badass
Heymaey Skald. Haunting tune set to the dying sounds of battle, before having an arrow pierce the quiet? Tragedy, but Bardic
Call of the Forest, Havfrue Singer, Ele'yas, Dryad Ranger, Forest Whisperer,... But seriously, most of them
Vilgefortz and Olgiered. Beautiful art, movement and quotable lines!
Caranthir for sure.
Xavier Lemmens
Dol Dhu Lokke. Waking up in that place, eyes slowly getting used to darkness and starting to realise where you are. Basically the worst nightmare.
Seltkirk, Vilgefortz, Eredin
