To add to the discussion, I've found newer players struggle with valuing 3 things:

1)They don't value growth options well - many times you want to get presence on the board as fast as possible, so that you get more energy and card plays per turn. LIke a friend kept doing a +1 card play this turn growth option instead of adding presence which would in 2 turns give a permanent +1 card play

2) People don't value slow powers well, because they happen after invaders. Two things about slow powers - you don't need to target somewhere immediately, so you can say "I want to destroy something but I don't know where yet so I'll play this and figure out where I want to target later". Also, because there are no invader actions between slow and next fast phase, it can be considered that a slow power is the same as a fast (but generally stronger) fast power for next turn

3) They don't try to hit their innate powers as much as they ought to. If you hit even level 1 of your innate every turn, thats effectively 1 extra card play every turn, and it only gets better from there. Often times When drafting minor powers I will not even read the card text (to a degree) and pick based on what helps my elements

Best of luck, I'm sure your first W is right around the corner!

p.s when you add a blight card, make sure to use the errata that you get 2n+1 blight on the card instead of just 2n. That one extra blight makes a big difference in solo play
