[snip] there is a huge amount of strategy. The luck-factor is actually quite low, and the margin for error is massive. You can do wrong so many things (most crucial are your first picks from the tavern - lots of players just bloat their decks with what they think are strong cards), and then blame it on 'bad luck', which is what many think at first. I mean, you have the right to think that,[snip]

It's more or less a copy of Dominion, one of the most popular and highly rated card games. Dominion isn't just luck and neither is Tribute.

At first I would have agreed with this but after winning 300 plus games I've started to see how there's more strategy in this than luck. Like mentioned above, luck is getting the Armoury in the first turn but that doesn't mean it's game over already. I've made plenty of comebacks when I thought my opponent had the better deck, usually through combining patron uses or using ragpicker to destroy my low cards so I only have just the good cards from only 1 deck type in my hand, then I'm just throwing combos out there left and right. Last night someone was winning 28-11 against me, then in 2 turns I won with 41-38 It's all about how you build your deck, if someone gets Armoury first turn, change your playstyle to counter them. I'm not saying it's all strategy as you do have to rely on RNG for good tavern picks but you can adapt and use other strategies to counter your opponents.

Rng Comes from the cards in the tavern, and the base decks have low strategy involved ill admit, the real winner is typically the one who has better card management, the ansei and psijiic decks together is almost an auto win for me if me if the rng is fairish and the oppononent doesnt get every good card

This game is a lot of skill and knowledge, along with a hefty degree of luck. I think with the exception of Orgnum and Pelin, to really be able to win consistently you have to be able to have good knowledge of your deck alongside anything your opponent can throw at you. Yes, you need good cards to come your way. But most games will have both players have good cards, and who wins will come down to who built their decks better and is just generally higher skill. And yes, and sometimes the tavern will be hilariously one-sided and there's not much you could have done differently. But, a total novice can be dealt a royal flush in Poker too. Doesn't mean a champion isn't gonna wipe the floor with them the vast majority of the time.
