I'm new to Gwent and card games in general so this might be a stupid question. Some quick Google-foo told me MMR stands for "Match Making Rating". So I guess one of the things that affects MMR is the cards in your deck? I keep seeing people talk about decks with x amount of MMR. How do I see the MMR of my deck (or my account if that's a thing)? There's no mention of it in the game itself as far as I can see.

It doesnt look at decks, its only about your skill. You can only see your MMR in ranked mode (casual MMR is hidden)
Where does it show my MMR in ranked mode? I've played a couple of ranked games the other day and I don't remember seeing it.

Ranking points are your MMR
Casual MMR doesn't function, though. So that doesn't really matter.
Wait so how does match making work in casual then?
At this point I'm inclined to think it's just entirely random. I've been watching a friend of mine play and he started at level 11-14 consistently playing people who were 20-40 with fully formed meta decks who clearly knew what they were doing and had high MMRs. I also at one point spent a couple days throwing matches in casual and ensuring I lost as many as possible and saw absolutely no change in the caliber of opponent I faced.
I certainly hope they have something planned, but at this point there's no way anything has been implemented.

This has been my experience as well. It was fairly even below rank 10 but after that I started seeing what you described. I thought it was just MMR and/or based on decks. I'm rank 15 ATM and it feels like the higher my rank goes the worse it gets. I played against a rank 29 earlier.
It's affected by your wins and losses. If you win you gain MMR. If you lose it goes down. Decks with MMR ratings are saying the deck works at people who are at that rating.
Ah gotcha, thanks. So if it's only based on wins and losses does that mean I should expect mostly losses initially when I switch the another faction which I have less good cards for?
Depending on the level you're playing at, probably. If you're at a low rank most people won't have good cards for their factions so you can get away with it. Though you can also just play casual until you have cards you want and then switch to ranked when you feel comfortable.
