Any winning tips by anyone would be welcome.

But anyway, just lower the bet until you have mastered your opponents on your level, then, you can raise it. The basic system is better players = higher bets.
About those tips..I will think about something and come back later.(I am in a hurry now, sorry) | | Also there is a possibility of bad luck. Even StorminMerlin had about 15+/- games lost in a row. And that guy doesnt do mistakes. | For some reasons, I am thinking that card game depends on luck.
50% of the times, u got the enough resources but crap hand.
I tried not to play card game with the host at great capital. 50 level towers is easy to build but the problems lies in your next draw( rather luck). In single deck, I keep dragon's eye in my hand if I got it to prepare for "surprise attack" and to prevent my opponents from using it. Then I tried focusing on wall or magic.
If I have enough stack or green cards, I would go offensive but even so, my opponents always seem to have the luck of drawing out the rest of the blue cards need to raise towers by 15 or 11 levels. | | I believe that everyone wich has played a decent amount of card games have experienced several 10+ series of defeats. | By qulows:
1. In GC, opponent has mine 2, tower 35 and plays mine collapse. Obviously, he needs the mana or the wall to protect tower for damage. It differs from person to person, but generally, i would think he has diamond/dragon's eye.
2. Opponent plays several monastery cards (harmony, die mould, power explosion etc.) He must have parity.
3. Whenever I play, I keep a lookout on opponents mana and stacks to see what cards they can play. For example, if opponent has tower 39 in GC, i am safe only until opponent has 8 mana (enough for solidification). but, if i use even smoky quartz, opponent needs at least 16 mana to win in a turn (besides quartz).
4. In single deck games, you can take this even further. If solidification and sapphire have both been played recently, a GC tower of 39 is not a big problem until the opponent has 16 mana for diamond. | 1.Learn all the cards costs and what they do.
2.Always watch enemies resources.
3.When you have higher monastery/mine/barracks, use -1 to all. 2 vs. 1 is much better than 3 vs. 2. Same goes reversed.
4.Try to remember most valuable cards if they already went. If you play one deck, they are unlikely to repeat in next 15-20 turns.
5.Make a list of "never throw away" cards. No matter what situation you are in, never throw away some cards like shift and few more.
6.Never build your wall higher than opponent can damage you with his present stacks.(if he doesnt have 25 stacks for dragon, you shouldnt build wall much above 13)
7.Always try to attack when you can spice up enemy`s tower. Bashing his wall is useless. Walls can take a lot of punishment, because they often cost less than attacking cards and most of them are bigger.
8.Use every opportunity to steal, lower, destroy his resources. It makes most people angry and gives you upper hand.
I only play one deck, great capital rules. Dont know how this works in other areas. Should be quite similar but less sharp. :-) | I dont think the card game is totally about luck. I will try to think about some more simple ideas if these were helpful..
When you lose try not to bash your keyboard(like I do often), but think about your turns and cards you played and if there was a chance to play the game differently. If there was a chance and you have found what you did wrong, you came out of the with loss but a bit smarter.
Repeat 3000 times for basic card skills. :-) | | Well, I do take note of my opponents' resource but u will be surprised when he is low on mana, he actually can draw out those critical cards needed to boost the monastery. -_- | for Omega22:

lol... thanks guys.. really useful... taught me never to play against you guys ;) | I dont think the card game is totally about luck
It is not ... but once you have 5-6 levels in the guild, IT IS.
Simply, every other player with your same level will have played more and less the same amount of games as you ... so they know how to play ... they know strategies ... then, it is pure luck ...
Often, I see me or my opponent having a big advantage but then the cards turn against me (or him/her) and then unexpected happened ...
just a recent example ... I had tower around 30, nice wall, 6 monastery, 7 barracks, 2 mines... my opponent had tower 11, low level wall, 2 or 3 level for resources ... well ... soon I found myself with only red cards, none of them capable of doing damage nor to grow tower ... 5 draws ... always useless red cards, then couple of drwas like "+1 to monastery", "+2 to barracks" ... you guess the results, yes? | but once you have 5-6 levels in the guild,...well,I have to disagree on this. Once you play 1000 games, you still dont know everything and play perfectly. Everyone does mistakes. Its not about those games that you are bound to win/lose from the start. Those do not matter.
Its about those 10%-20% of the games when odds are even and any of you can win. Those are the games that win you some gold. Have you ever experienced a situation when you lost by exactly one turn?(next turn would give you victory) Those are the important moments that you have to handle. You can learn a lot from such games. | well ... soon I found myself with only red cards
Well, unlike you, I do have somewhat a similar situation. 3 out of 5 straight draws, the card type that I get is the one that I dun use.
Have you ever experienced a situation when you lost by exactly one turn?
Yes, I did but it is slightly different though.
In one of my game, during my next turn I would have won by collecting resources and at that time, I just need 1 resource point to win, I know that my opponent did not have that critical card needed to boost his tower because the last card he used boosted it by 15 levels I guess. If he had it in his hand few turns ago, he would have won. Lucky for him, he drew it at the last moment and win.
At that time, I was very sad..... :( | Everyone does mistakes
Sure ... and this even if you played 100k games ... but a mistake means, by its literal meaning, that you did something wrong... waiting 10 draws (or even 5) for a card that you can use is nothing I would consider as a mistake ...
Have you ever experienced a situation when you lost by exactly one turn?(next turn would give you victory) Those are the important moments that you have to handle. You can learn a lot from such games.
Sure ... It happens sometimes ... and every time I knew that if the opponent would have that card (or maybe 2 or 3 of them) he/she would win ... and I knew that I could only rely on pure luck because I had no card in my hands that I can use to prevent that to happen ... so I can only hope that he/she does not have those cards in the hand...
Of course, you could have played "bad" before ... but again, given the not so big amount of different cards, after a thousand or so games you have some good strategies you know ... problem is, they can be applied if you have the cards to do that .. otherwise .. bad luck ... | | [Post deleted by moderator Slynky // Flooding] | because I had no card in my hands that I can use to prevent that to happen ...
Thats why many players put Dissension and Fission on their "never throw away list". Those are the measures of last resort: To burn his tower along with your monastery and buy some time..

Oh, I see. | But I must still say that luck played like 75% of the role because the cards u draw affects your combo used and the venue of the game plays an important role.
(it affects the way u are going to win.) | | I think I will go back and practise some more. |
