In my limited playing session yesterday I still found nobody selling cards (though I plan on explicitly looking for inkeeps soon), but I played and actually won a match. I'm not sure how exactly, but I won.
For starters, I had more cards somehow than I used to have - do you sometimes find some in chests or get them as quest rewards? It was nothing exciting, but a catapult here, a weather card there and a 4 str unit card can make a difference.
What decided the match early on was that the opponent spammed melee cards - even AFTER I had played the weather cards (was it fog or frost?) that disables the melee row. So I guess I won the first match thanks to weak AI.
In the second round, the AI passed early and had almost no cards on the table, but somehow it had like 20 attack (I'm guessing it was a leader ability?), which I couldn't match with what I had, so I folded.
Last round I played what little I had left and the AI insta-passed, obviously had no cards left. Then SOMETHING happened that again boosted it's attack value without ANY cards. I'd have lost if not for another mysterious happenstance which allowed me to draw a couple additional cards, with whom I managed to take a slight lead. Victory!
Now I only need to figure out why and how the heck I even won...
rezaf I'm just going to be honest, there are 3 or 4 things in this post that clearly shows you have no idea how the game works and you need to just start by reading the descriptions of cards and abilities, and by paying attention to what cards are being played by who during the game (literally every single thing that happens is shown). If attack power goes up, you always are shown how. If the AI has no cards on the table, it is literally impossible to have any attack value. Drawing additionals only happen through a limited selection of special abilities, including a spy.
