This video talks about some very basic strategies associated with Tales of Tribute for folks who might be new to this type of card game. Not suitable for experienced card players!
Great points! Hardest thing for me right now is figuring out the best synergies between decks. Concentrating on two decks is key imho, and while some, like Crows and Pelin play themselves, the Psiijic and Hlaalu decks aren’t quite so easy to figure out optimal strategies. I really think the game has great potential and am seriously enjoying it.
Thanks, Kevin! Deck synergies are definitely key - heavy loading Crows, for example, will get you tons of draws and gold, but not a lot of power, so drawing into some power-generating cards like Pelin will help. I wasn't sure about Celarus starting out, but began salting it into decks and got a feel for it -- it really helps move crap out of the way when you're either wanting to draw your power cards or your crow cards. Plus, I like having the agent removal patron effect -- if you see Dreaming Cave available to buy, it's a super strong card that will give you a solid feel for playing Celarus. Hlaalu is a very different playstyle that I haven't quite gotten the feel for yet -- you want to generate a lot of gold, buy a lot of cards, and then use the patron synergy to sacrifice those cards, which gives you direct prestige. It's an interesting strategy when your opponent has you locked out of power-to-prestige conversion with a lot of Pelin agents, for example, or when you're playing a combination of decks that don't have a lot of power generation. Glad you're enjoying the game!
