ESO - Tales of Tribute Advanced Strategies 

Hey gang, something someone pointed out to me that I COMPLETELY overlooked was how big an issue it is to refer to their decks by their color names for those who are colorblind. For a quick reference the decks are: Red for St. Pelin, Yellow for Hlaalu, Blue for Psijiic, Purple for Crows, Green for Hunding, Orange for Rhajin, Black for Red Eagle and Teal for Sorcerer King. Apologies for anyone this negatively impacted and I'll definitely be more conscious of it on any videos in the future!

This was extremely helpful - thank you for making this series! Looking forward to the next one to watch you play. Meanwhile, I'm going to keep unlocking my next two decks.

Hi Phil swift with flex deck here

I've come to really enjoy the Psijic Loremaster deck. Being able to see into your draw deck and control what you pull next can be really helpful, especially in combination with Duke of Crows. The Dreaming Cave has become one of my all time favourite cards, thanks to the very useful standalone play affect of being able draw a card, and see the next 4 cards after that to potentially help my Crow combo, with a very nice 2 Power bonus for only a combo of 2 Psijic cards. As for Rajhin... I just unlocked his deck. I played him once. Never again. Probably around 10 rounds on non-stop being spammed with Bewilderment cards flooding my deck, even while I was actively destroying them as often as I could. The final score was 2-6 when I gave up because the game was going nowhere.

Hi man, thx for the guides. I love your sense of homour! Dont be so negative about comments...

Love your vids...and thank you very much.

this is exactly what i needed. thank you.

I had a perfect game where I had purple deck for mainly draws a few psijc cards to remove some unwanted stuff and armory (5 power red card) for some prestige. It felt disgusting to use

Nice video, but, I'm colorblind and I couldn't know which decks you were talking about :_) Maybe add a legend on the description like "Saint Pelin = Red" , that could be helpful :D Ty, and sry for the complaint xD

Thanks for the insights, well explained. Have you thought about doing a video that shows how to get more Tribute cards? That would be helpful, thanks again.

A background in auto chess games will really help with ToT. It's all about getting the most value out of your turns and peaking at the right time.

I like to combine the blue and purple decks. Using the extra turns from the purple deck and the deck filtering of the blue deck, I can create endless combos, going through my entire deck multiple times until I run out of time. Using this method, I can go from little to no prestige to winning the game in a single turn. It is a challenge to get up and running though and I have lost many games where the opponent has been focused on power cards, while I'm still trying to get the cards I need for extended combos.

The Psijic cards can be useful in the endgame, if you're stacking purple for card draw. It's great to be able to toss out the junk cards before you start your draw combo.

This sounds a lot like playing neutral. How do i skip neutral and punch the other player in the face

Thanks to your advice, I managed to get the rubedite rank achievement. Before that, nothing worked for me. I would really like to see your strategy with playing the Pyandonean deck. So far, I've only played with NPCs and it seemed to me too strong.

What is your stance on agents? Are they good early game/late game? Is it better to patron-sacrifice them ASAP or let them sit on the board? Or are they even good? It seems they are only good if they can sit on the board for longer time... And what was that with that Jeering Shadow buy? Why? Thanks for reply.

Played those decks too for a time, and its defenetly the easy straight forward and solid way to win, especially as long as you have only 4 decks. But a soon as you want to go into more control, its better to limit power generation for more controling options, because that way, you deny your opponent the ability to sprint ahead with just Armory and Rally. To add, green and black are also really good at power generation, but their patron abilities and card abilities are far better for utility than red. On the crow, yes its powerfull, but I found, that it really disrupts opponents when they dont have crow and hlaalu patron abilities to combo. Which is why I try to limit the opponent by only letting 1 of them through deck picking. Aditionally on the crow deck, I really enjoy it, but it has its problems as soon as you start hate picking. If you deny them the cards that combo on 2 they lose a lot of their potential. So its best to leave up their agent cards as bait, while you hate pick the rest. This can best be done by either removing them from tavern with blue, buying them with massive hlaalu gold or using the get card for free abilities from yellow or green. PS: Thanks for the knowledge check example. I havent paid attention to that yet.

eso ghost from the past electric bongaloo :P

Active commentary in-game really helps

Have a drink every time Old Salty says "flex decks" I have just done this wwiht a freinds aaand I swear it waszz fuunnszz zZZZzzzzzZZZ x_X P.S. Don't drink and get wasted... your mind is better off not wasted ;)

I feel like I got some math ahead of me! When I play card games I like to calculate statistics and probability. This sounds silly and may not be as applicable in this style of card game, I will be try to do this anyway. Lol

I developed kind of a unique strategy. I pick psyjic deck first, because these are the worst cards and then its about who picks the least bad cards or picks cards at all, its kinda who picks a card first looses...^^

I just wish that Marujhin's daily quests didn't require to get an actual win just to complete the requirements. It's frustrating to keep losing several times in a row to players who are just better than me and I feel like a r-word. I've asked guildies who have the last two patron decks to do a match with me and teach me the strategy in dealing with them, but they're too damn involved with the ranked matches that I'm essentially left out of the lurch. It's just like the special ed curriculum growing up: if you start out in there, you're essentially zerg-food to the Mad-Max-style mobs when society dies.

I'm on such a losing streak that I have NFI how I managed to win the first few ranked games I played

blue deck good

My opponent picks Crow, I puke in disgust

Totally didn't consider Tithe.

This is a good video of tips to beat a player that doesn't know these tips. But strategy in the higher ranks of play comes down to using all the information you have to it's fullest. For example, in the game you showed where on turn 1 going 2nd you spend 5 gold on a non-gold agent when there is a rally on board, your opponent just gained a massive advantage in gold to try to get that rally. Now while personally I would always have spent 2 gold converting my pelin starter to a writ on that turn, your strategy is an equally valid, if more short-term line. But Only If you then realize your disadvantage and barter or otherwise remove the rally asap.

There's one big issue with any strategy. It's called RNG. You can cry, sweat and scream but if you're an unlucky fella like me it's difficult to win no matter what. I patiently build my deck, I pick up an OKish card and can't do anything else and in place of that card pops out another one, super op like The Armory for my opponent to take in 5 seconds

Honestly, I hate that I have to watch vids like this lol. I really like making my own strategies but then I start losing all because other people watch vids of people who teach them strategies they never would have thought of on their own or maybe would have like a year later. Thus...you can't just organically create strategies and develop your own play style, you HAVE to get into the Game Theoretic META builds despite literally NO ONE conjuring up those strategies on their own. Thus, people who I can tell are really bad at the game end up beating me only because of RNG or because they're clearly using a premade OP strategy they found online. Part 1 of why I hate the internet lol.

this is the worst card game ive ever played

I do have a question for you Its a very unpleasant Situation; there are only High Costa Cards in the Tavern and you start first. Your opponent is actually able to buy one, which reveals another high cost combo card. The following round He Manages to get another high cost card and Rolls Them approx all two rounds. When that happened i almost lost all the time except I got all patrons. Can do you have a tip for this scenarios?

IMO duke of crows is so strong when you get your Combor ready. It'll be nerfed xD
