Absolutely. Sometimes it's better to get a 4 + 4 draw though if the deck opens with Arbiters, Demon Slayers, Reactor Monks. It all depends on what's on the board. Luck is definitely a factor. Although one game I was sure I had lost after he got an All Seeing Eye round 3 after drawing 2 infantry and a mystic before hand. Basically, he lucked out really badly with that, but I still managed to win because of superior tactics end game and a bit of luck with creatures. The most frustrating times are when I feel as if I played perfectly, yet still lost because of pure bad luck while you watch your opponent who's clearly not as good a player (playing Lycanthrope before Fly Trap Witch) luck out every turn. Hearteningly though, being a better player pays off more times than not.
Totally agree .... in the last two days I seem to have total bad luck. My opponents manage to get draw three cards and even coupled with copy last hero card in the first 4 rounds. When this happens, the deck cycles too fast and only once I managed to win ... once I managed to contain losses, the rest I was hammered.
ahh.... i finally tasted how it feels to have the feeling of loosing early - mid into the game... pwned by Camzee and another guy back to back.... :'(
I had the same .... First you and then camzy and then you again. No excuse I am trying new tactics for the game ... It is useless when players fetch certain cards early and I drawn myself into a huge deck
Card banishing - do it. It makes the game less about luck and more about your tactical choices. I've lost two games in 10 today by concentrating on banish, banish, banish. The actual strategy you employ should vary depending on the board, but banishing lets you employ any strategy more effectively.
Yes this is what you always do .... I noticed. But sometimes you simply cannot banish, lately I never get a banish card in may hands! Neither a draw one
yeah, I do banish. sometimes certain games I've been deprived of banishers or they when come.. my discard pile was empty... but i guess rounds of lost just now were not excuse of luck but my pure bad play.. well played!
I am still liking this game alot despite being pawned by kitkeat and Camzy. Camzy I really like that last game we had although I lost. Just had a game with Raven 1983 and I was worried for a moment when he banish that enlightened construct to have an extra turn. Luckily I manage to edge ahead with 3 points.. By the way, kitkeat are you from Singapore?
I blundered big time in our game. On the last turn, I accidentally took a heavy infantry. If I hadn't, I would have had enough for another centre card. Oh well, it was a fun game. I'll be online for another two hours if anyone fancies a game.
aaronius... nope, your neighbor though.. I had no luck winning against Raven, he's strong... the closest was around 5 points difference i think..
Well well, give me few days when I have exhausted all the tests I am making and because of which I loose all the time. After that, I will take revenge on KK (we are 3-1 for you right?) !!! I was wondering if I am the only one playing around with various tactics ... but I admit i am being tempted by Kard Combat right now .... Raven did we play already?
i see we have our arch nemesis here and there from the forum i don't really have any strategy but try to adapt as i go... usually it's clear after 4 - 5 rounds..
This is what I used to do, but I am experimenting to see what happens if I give up control on the deck and how I can control luck. So, if you guys see me doing weird things ... you are warned!! No arch nemesis actually, just fooling around. Up until two days ago I only lost twice, so it was time for em to loose a bit as well
guess i'll taste your wrath once you're done with your experiment seriously, ever since I bought the full game, I had not play against the AI at all.. it's just too fun playing against other players around the world!
okay guys, i've experienced this a couple of times. I got the notification someone wants to play a game with me. I even got the (1) badge on my app. so i launch the game, went into the game list, i could not find that person's game there for me to accept. Anyone experience this before? or just me, it happened quite frequent. just want to point that out, Raven invited me to a few games which i must apologize here cos i went in I could not find the game... hehe... I always welcome and honored to be invited to a game anytime (since it's asynchronous)
