The game

Clash of Decks can be a bit puzzley. Take some time to calculate what will happen when you play your cards.

Make sure you know the cards and the symbols. Many games are lost by forgetting about the effect of certain powers (symbols), such as casting an incantation on an indestructible creature.

Destroy the opponents Fort, not just their creatures. Do not be afraid to take damage to your Fort/Outpost.

It is good strategy to ignore a lane in which the opponent has creatures that do little damage. You may in fact try to trap some low damage dealing creatures in a lane.

Lastly note that by playing card to the left of you Fort, since they return to the right, your Fort regenerates. By that same mechanic it is sometimes good not to play a card from the right of your Fort.

The draw, when playing with initiation pack

In the initiation pack, without expansions, there are 32 cards (excluding two bridges and two Forts) of which 16 will show up in a draw.
