So what do you need to do? Easy! Always convert the power starter cards into writs of coin before converting coins!
The game, especially with the projected PTS changes, is built around cards that cost 6 or more. So in order to make sure you don't waste a crucial early turn, you should always make an effort to guarantee your draws are 6 or more gold. Drawing a power card and having a 4 or 5 gold turn is devastating after the first turn. You do however ideally still want a patron with a power card in play, because that way you can gain an immediate advantage when your opponent doesn't replace it.
After that, you want to focus on buying cards that give more than one gold, and then working towards a 'carry card' (Rally, armoury, currency exchange, squawking oratory, Hira's end, midnight raid...).
Any more questions feel free to ask!

✭✭✭In the early game, how valuable is removing a card from the deck compared to making a writ of coin.
What about removing 2 cards from the deck compared to making a writ of coin?
Don't tank

Briarheart pact is the most powerful card in the game imo, take it 100%, if you have 4 gold and there's a ragpicker, you should evaluate depending on the patrons what the risk is of revealing a great card for your opponent, but destroying a coin is super strong, I experimenting now with taking the ragpicker/bonfire/rahjin picker just so the other player can't remove AND patron, but that's a good nuanced situation you bring up. I think if it's turn 1 you might want to take the picker and turn 2 treasury. if it's your second turn then you are probably better with the writ of coin since you are going to reshuffle your deck and having 6 coins for the card they reveal if they take picker.
In general though, destroying is amazing, but it's not wrong to make 2 writs first.2 -

By sacrificing the cards like War Song and Fortify? Those ones? Which cards are being referred to?Edited by Oddemus on 13 July 2022 00:570 -

Exactly, the game is about cards that cost more than 5 gold. And this is by design, so upgrading your deck to have more gold per card means you can buy better cards, and increasing it even more will allow you to buy cards that don't give gold, and still be able to buy something on the turn draw that card.
And thanks!0 -

Exactly, the 1 power starter cards.
Good on you for bothering to learn their names.1 -

So, I have been trying this out and..... yeah, it helped me win. I wasn't expecting it to but getting coins instead of power, in the beginning, allowed me to grab useful cards that my opponent couldn't grab. Thanks!1 -

It changes, as more people make it into rubidite over the month, last season I was just about on the edge in the 2% at rank 45 with 3000 rank.0 -

If there was no nuance, it wouldn't be a game, it would be flow-chart lookup simulator. This will win you games, easily 20 times before it costs you a game.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I personally go for a good turn 1 card over this if it's there, but I've been getting rid of it early now and it has helped me snag victories. I've also done it to those 1 coin cards in suits that I'm not trying to trigger combos on. Thanks for the tip!Edited by spartaxoxo on 27 July 2022 04:070 -

Yep, transforming the psijic coin for example in a slow game just gives that slight edge to consistency.
I'm not saying you need to convert instead of taking a card, mostly I mean before you transform a coin card.0 -
Heartrage✭✭✭✭✭I’d say my general writ of coin/throw away priority would go as this:
Bewilderment >Pellin starter >red eagle starter >gold coin >psijiic starter >ansei starter >hlaalu starter >Rahjin starter >Orgnum starter >duke starter
Of course, however, this can vary depending on the cards. I would keep red eagle to combo with midnight raid if I got it turn one.0 -

This seems like the best idea too imo, but since you transform coins first, everything after can basically be it's own tier since the game has gone on so long it should be clear whether you still need crow or ansei or hlaalu. And the opportunity cost of not using a patron that late in the game should be considered too. So that's why I just stuck with 'power starters before coins'.0 -

No, not always.
If you are able to pick up a Reinforcements or Siege Weapon Volley in the first round, keep Fortify.
If you are able to pick up a Midnight Raid in the first round, keep War Song.

Controversial opinion: if you pick up reinforcements or a volley turn 1, still remove fortify from your deck.
If you pick up raid, remove all other cards besides raid and starter from your deck

I personally wouldn’t remove it in the first few turns if you bought those cards. Not necessarily Volley, because the combo is 1 coin, which means using Fortify would give you 1 coin and 1 power, which is worse than 2 coins. So if you get Volley, convert Fortify.
Having a power source 3 or more in the first round can sometimes win the game or put you at a great advantage. While you’re upgrading coins your generating power every other round.

I generally don't play aggro, I even sometimes just buy reinforcements as a 2 gold card to buy something like oathman or dreaming cave and then just dump it w/ hlaalu to thin the deck
Denying cards and buying slow cards tends to give the opponent more time to make a mistake I can use to get ahead 1
