What does increasing the difficulty for Gwent do, in The Witcher 3

the-witcher-3

If raising the difficulty for Gwent increases the difficulty of AI tactics, I would like the challenge. However, if it simply gives the AI better cards, than I would prefer to start the game on a lower level of difficulty.

So what does increasing the difficulty of Gwent actually do?

As far as I know it only increases AI card quality. You'll find early game merchants sporting a Geralt or Ciri.

I haven't noticed Gwent becoming any harder in the late game, when I had a killer deck as well.
