But be careful… often the mid game doesn’t last very long! If you’re not sure if you’re in the mid game or not, it’s usually best to play as if you’ve already progressed to the late game. During the mid game, I tend to value cards that help buy $6-8 cards (but also have late game value), strong bases, and cards that sow the seeds for big rallies in the late game (card draws, top-decking, etc). I consider the mid game to be the period after the opening buys where there is still time for trade and scrapping to amortize, and both players have enough authority to survive through at least their opponent’s next shuffle and a full deck thereafter. With the inclusion of Gambits and Events it may of course be possible, and advisable, to purchase cards that cost $6+ in Deck 1. ** NOTE: The “Opening Buys” Tier List only ranks cards cost $1-5, which is the typical range of trade a player will have on their opening two turns. Combat cards are generally only valuable at this stage for destroying opposing bases, or for all-out rush strategies when the trade row is combat-heavy. ![]() ![]() I prioritize strong trade and scrapping cards for my opening buys, as well as bases that provide good long-term value. Also, cards are listed within a cell by faction and cost the order of cards within a cell is not meant to imply anything about the value of the card relative to the others in the same tier and cost bracket. For example, a Tier 2 card in the $3-5 cost bracket would have a value on par with a Tier 1 card in the $1-2 cost bracket. In general, cards in the next higher cost bracket have a value one tier higher. Please note that our intent is not for cards in the same tier across cost brackets to be considered equivalent in value.
