Cards are an important passive mechanic in Bridger Western, available through the Mud Witch at the Swamp. These apply various bonuses that encourage a specific type of a play style, which can radically impact how you approach different activities. They have a potential to be build-defining, which is why it’s important to know which of them are worth pursuing.
This article ranks all Cards in Bridger Western based on their respective bonuses. Feel free to refer to this tier list whenever you wish to pursue a specific Card type for your build.
Ranking all Cards in Bridger Western
S-Tier

The S-Tier Cards have no flaws, and the passive abilities offer game-changing effects. These are incredibly useful passives that can completely overhaul how you approach combat in the title. We recommend keeping them in your deck, should you acquire them through rerolls in the Mud Witch’s hut.

The A-Tier Cards are decently powerful, with minor drawbacks or niche uses that keep them from joining the upper echelon of Cards. While still quite effective, they are not as crucial to regular gameplay as those in the S-Tier. They are worth keeping in your deck, provided your Card slots are not occupied by the S-Tier options.

B-Tier

While not bad per se, the Cards belonging to the B-Tier are simply far too niche for their effects to be seen routinely during gameplay. The merit in keeping these Cards in your active Cards slots is fairly low. Naturally, these Cards are best used as secondary options behind their higher-tier counterparts.

C-Tier
The applications of the C-Tier Cards are even more restricted than those of the B-Tier. Either these are too flawed or too niche to be useful for long. As such, these options are best avoided or ignored, and you are better off spending your Moola to get better ones.
