That was the first deck to annoy me, when an NPC chooses that one, I immediately end the match, lol.

Since they started tweaking the NPC's (particularly the novice), and frustration ensued while trying to get the Necrom music box lead, I have never touched ToT again.

Same, lmao. Dueling Master Metrand was an exercise in misery though.valenwood_vegan wrote: »The way they tweaked the NPC's turned me off completely. I used to play against NPC's a few times a week when I had some extra time. Finished the main questline. Liked it as a side activity.

I don't know why they felt the need to tweak it.

Well, an obsession with trying to win by flipping all 4 patrons can be detrimental to your own game, so it's probably better to avoid falling into that trap. I mean, if you were playing against another player, would you expect them to let you just flip all of the patrons in your favor without trying to stop you?
As @Pixiepumpkin said, that type of win might require being able to flip 2 or 3 patrons in a single turn. I won that way earlier tonight against an Expert NPC, because they "thoughtfully" left multiple Tithe cards in the Tavern for me to win with.

Its not an obession, its an observation.

I was referring to the OP who kept trying to flip a patron, apparently (from the title of the thread) to try to win by flipping all 4 patrons. I know firsthand that becoming "fixated" on trying to flip a given patron and keep it flipped can cause you to screw up your turns by getting into a "flipping contest" with the NPC when you'd be better off working on a different strategy.
The only reason I quoted your post in my reply was to agree with your observation about flipping multiple patrons in a single turn-- if you happen to get lucky that way, which is by no means assured ("dumb luck," indeed). I wasn't referring to anything you had said as being an "obsession."

I did not feel the OP had an obsession with flipping, but rather an observation. The fact that they mentioned the NPC having an obsession with turning patrons means they are paying attention/observing this issue.
And I have seen the same. That is what I meant to say.

What I meant by "obsession" is being fixated on trying to get the last flip-- win the flipping contest. I mean, if you flip a patron and the NPC flips it back, it's usually counterproductive to keep spending additional moves on trying to flip it back to you-- you need to know when to throw in the towel. It's something I can relate to, because I've fallen into that trap, too. But unless there are multiple Tithes you can use to flip multiple patrons at once, going for a patron win is generally a losing strategy.
