To go quickly is foolish. To go slowly is prudent. Not to go; that is wisdom.
I've been watching streams to see the amount of content available, and I'm very surprised at how little streamers thin their decks. I understand that relics are cool and good, but boardgaming has taught me that 9 mediocre and 1 good cards are way, way better than 10 mediocre and 2 good cards. Specially with the energy mechanic and how cheap removing cards at merchants is.

Yeah but the post i quoted said mediocre: good 9:1 is way, way better than 10:2 which I didn't (don't) get.

I certainly understand that 6:4 is much better than 12:9 ofc because you'll pretty consistently have all the cards you want and no weird hands.
An exaggeration to illustrate a point, I didn’t want to include a bunch of conditionals and exceptions while posting on a phone.

Point is, the streamers I’ve watched have no idea that thinning the deck is a good thing.
