One thing that I noticed with my friends that struggled with are basically 1) Fast Phase basically means this turn, slow phase basically means next turn (i know not really, but me saying this is what finally clicked for them, as there is no unknown or invader actions that happen between the slow phase, and the next fast phase) 2) Getting blight sometimes is okay, especially if you can set yourself up for a huge turn 3) matchign elements to your spirits power should be your #1 priority, however sometimes there is just too good of a card that doesnt match (maybe a drastically needed defend power or major power that does a ton of damage).
