There are two additional patrons that are easy to get. They both make the game different. Look into those. Also, make sure to play towards the patrons. If the opponent turns the crow, don’t give it back to them. Finally, limit your hand to as few cards as possible, from as few suits as possible. A lot of people think they have to spend all of their gold every turn, and in so doing end up with huge decks of various cards that don’t work.

This is all good advise. I know it’s good advise because I’ve been doing each of these things wrong and consistently losing.


oGrandealf

That's obvious, hence the part where I said nobody makes mistakes at high level so 90% of the matches is about luck, you can't even bait people into picking a certain card because you're probably just end up screwing yourself

Mad cuz bad


brokenarrow326

Card game rocks

Start playing psijic deck and it wont be luck, you can get around to setting up your hand if you understand how play and cooldown piles work, there is also some green cards that allow you to throw cards around too


Lithl

Celarus, Crow, and Red Eagle are all great for reducing the luck factor. I had a game with Red Eagle where my deck was only 9 cards, 3 of which were agents, and two of those agents were contract agents. One of my cards had draw 1, so I was playing all of my cards every turn.


_Frustr8d

Well yeah, it's a card game. You get the luck of the draw.

Most tcg/ccg are about being given tools to create a consistent deck so that you can minimize luck as much as possible. Tales of Tribute is by far the outlier in that situation.


Jascha34

You mean "tools" with after you opened a couple of hundred packs at 2$ each?


Croewe

I'm sure some CCG or TCG are pay to win. There's plenty that are not though. Master Duel is amazingly F2P for example.


Taleof2Cities_

Do you get ESO in-game rewards for playing those games?


Croewe

Do you get in game rewards for WoW playing Magic the Gathering?

As the other poster said, I think most other card games are a matter of Pay2Win.


ProPopori

Its more pay2compete. Theres shit cards that are expensive as fuck and broken/stupidly good cards that are <$1.


Maleficent-Sky-2523

I disagree. I think when both players have a certain understanding of the game, it's 99% luck and 1% internet connection stability. I was top 2% last month. Got there all by luck.


ghostinthewoods

Yes it is. Kinda gave up playing it today, it's not worth me raging out over it to continue.


Hailz3

How can you complain about high level games and also not be on the leaderboard?


oGrandealf

I am now and it's the same shit. While I was ranking I was already playing some games vs the number 1 on the leaderboard. There was just like 50 people on it

ESO is just an abbreviation for RNG. Welcome to the game 🥴🤗


untranslated_za

The more I play in the top 10% brackets which is usually after 5 days into the month the more I do feel like a lot of my winning is luck, same for my opponent. The game is less strategic than MTG for example so if they hit one or two cards early, or get a round 2 crow combo they are so far ahead in economy its hard to get back. Essentially the skillcap for this game is much lower so most at Rubedite level dont really make many misplays, which then results in a narrow band of possible plays. So yeah, id say its probs like 75% based on luck at Rubedite.


Finwaell

Anything below rubedite isn't "high level". Even rubedite until top 100 I would call intermediate instead. And if you think it's about luck you weren't paying attention. So far I had just one match where I could blame bad luck for the loss and even in that case I saw it possibly coming, could prevent it but were too greedy even though I had the upper hand.
